p NAN FoeND DEAD. About noon on
Monday last, q man named Balsam
Deenen was found dead in the woods
in the neighborhsod Of Little Orleans,
on the Maryland side Of the Potomac,
some nine miles from Sir Johns Run.
The deceased had been peeling bark,
and at IL O'clock his wife (asiwas her
daily habit, carried his dinner to him,
and arriving at his place Of work she
was Mortified at finding her husband a
corpse. A limb lay across his breast
and deep cash was discovered in the
back part of his head. An inquest
was held over the body, and rendered a
verdict of death by accident" De-
ceased was in the 18th year of his age,
and leaves a wife and three children to
mourn his sad fate On Wednesday
his remains were carried to their last
resting place on earth, accompanied by
many sympathizing friends. Rev. j.
w. Howard, of Berkeley Springs, per.
formed the funeral service.-Morgan
Mercury.
DIspLAcRD.-Abe Argabrite, Jehu
Hedrick and VIM. Knapp, the corrupt
and unprincipled creatures, who, for
months past. have illegally exercised
the duties of Supervisors in this Court,
have at last been displaced, though not
until threatened with quarters in the
Jail Of our county, did they yield to the
mandate of the Circuit Judge. Their
removal, from the seats thus illegally
held, and the admission thereto, Of
Messrs. Erwin, Levisay and Argabrite,
will, we apprehend, be source Of very
great reliet to the people of Greenbrier,
who have, heretofore, been the victims
of the most high handed and villainous
acts of which body OF men purport-
ing to represent the interests Of any
people could have been deemed guilty.

Cause for Thankfulness The overthrow OF the
empire and the Gripping of the military power OF
France by the war; will check the future interior
ence of the papsts with Protestant missions Inc
JeSuits have had the willing and powerful aid OF
France IN advancing their mission work, and I'D
their intriguing efforts to undermine and overthrow
the influence Of Protestant missionaries IN SYRIA,
Madagascar, and the South Sea Islands. They
have not relied so much upon the force of argu'
ment as upon the overwhelming power of French
bayolets and French brandy.
A Royal student.-It is thought by some that the
English language is to be the vehicle tor conveying
Protestant Christianity over the world. The queen
of Madagascar is encouraging the prevailing desire
of her subjects of instruction by studying Engllsh
and lessons in English are issued from the royal
press Nearly all the missionaries have large cas-
ses in reading, writing, and arithmetic.
The Bill Ratifying the vote of the Roman people
for annexation to Italy has passed the Italian
Chamber of Deputies by vote 239 to 20, and con,
sttutes an important, if not a final STEP toward
Italian unity. With respect to the temporal pow
er of the Pope some doubt has been expressed,
and it is satisfactory to find Mr. Gladstone indicat-
ing the policy of England in letter which is just
published He says that Her Maiesty's Gov
erDment has not interiered, and does not purpose
interfering with the civil government OF the city
of Rome or the surrounding country; but 1t con
siders the adequate support OF the dignity OF the
Pope, and his personal freedom In the dlscharge OF
his spiritual functions, legitimate matter tor no.
tice Indeed without waiting for the occurrence
OF an actual necessity it has, during the uncertain
ties of the last few months, taken upon itself to
make provision which would have tended to afford
any necessary protection to the person OF the ooV-
ereipn Poptitf"
