BURNING IN NEwBERRY.-We learn
that the barn and stables Of A. u.
| Maybin, of Newberry, containing all
his forage and eight mules were en-.
tirely destroyed by fire on Monday
night, 23d ult. 1t was the work OF
an incendiary.
The only daughter Of q rich old miser
in Clayton County, Iowa, who had been

The colored debating club at Balm
bridge seems to be Aourishing. At the

Daily Republican.
Five years ago, General Francis P.
Blair was debarred from voting in the
city of St. Louis, because he manfully
refused to take the Infamous test oath
imposed by the Drake constitution.
Since that time, through long years of
gloom and defeat, he has battled for

has triumphed in Missouri, the gallant
soldier and able statesman is handsome
ly rewarded by his party with a seat in
the United States Senate. Verify,
time works wonders and remedies many
evils.
KINGS MOUNTAIN MILITARY A
CADEMY.-Under the militia law Of the
State the use of arms in military
schools is prohibited. In Yorkville
there is a fourishing institution, pre-
sided over by Col. A. Coward. A Bill
has been introduced exempting the A
cademy from the provisions of the Act,

fifty boys bearing arms, to exercise in
school hours, it will, doubtless pass.

MEMBERS OF CoNdREss.-Mr. Nc
Creery, of Iowa, will shortly introduce
in the House a bill to prevent men,
bers of Congress from receiving bribes
or consideration to secure their votes

a penal offence to either give or re.
ceive any bribes. In selfdefence
against the numerous insinuations they
are made from time to time against
members of Congress, a bill of this
character should be passed.
