Monster Owls.

Mr.. Raymond Gregg, of Clinton
township, last week brought into our
office for inspection two owls caught by
Mr.. David Keener near Smithtown.
The wings of the largest Of the two
measured four feet eight inches from
tip to tip and those of the other four
feet seven inches. The manner Of their
capture was as follows: Mr.. Keener
got mp on Thursday last before daylight,
and had gone out for some purpose.
Hearing a strange noise coming from
the direction of a strip Of woods near
the house, he went there and discover
ed the two owls engaged in combat. So
intent were they on destroying each
other that they paid no attention to Mr.:
Keener's approach, and he was enabled
to capture both; but in the struggle,
by some mishap. he. unfortunately
tramped on the neck OF the largest and
killed it.-Mryantopn Consultations.

HOUSE.

Mr.. Hooper, from the committee on
Ways and Means, reported back the
Senate amendment to the House bill de-
claratory meaning the act Of July II,
1870, to reduce internal taxation. The
amendments was concurred in and the
bill goes to the President for approval.
The House took up the bill reported
Yesterday, by Mr.. Stoughton, from the
committee on Military Affairs, to en-
able honorable discharged soldiers and
sailors, their widows and orphan child
rem to acquire a homestead on the pub
lie lands.
Mr.. Holman moved to substitute for
the soldiers and sailors Of the late
war, their widows and orphans, the
bounty land law of the Goth Of Septem-
ber, 1850.
Mr.. Julian moved to substitute, re-
lieving soldiers and sailors who make
homestead entries from the legal re-
quirements Of five years occupation,
but letting the time served in the army
count as part Of the time of occupation
The morning hour expired and the
bill went over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Brooks, of New York, made in
quiry of Mr.. Dawes in regard to the
meeting of the next Congress on the
4th of March. He wanted information
on the subject in order to guide him in
the introduction of bills and action on
bills. Besides, he and other members
were deeply interested in the matter of
the tariff reform, and if the session
closed on the 4th of March he proposed
t. ask the action Of the House, as soon
as the rules would permit him, for a
reformation of the tariff. 1t was for
that purpose and the information Of the
country that he desired an answer to
his question from the chairman of the
committee on Appropriations.
Mr.. Dawes said in reply that he
could only give his private opinion on
the subject. AS the law now stood it
was obvious there must be session on
the 4th of March. Hesaw no indication
that the law would be repealed, much
to his own personal regret, and, if Con-
gress assembled On the 4th of March,
he had no reasonable expectation that
it would adjourn before the middle Of
April or the lst Of May. He should
himself do all he could 10 have the
session close in single day or single
week, but in his slight experience he
would hazard to prophesy that if Con-
gress met on the 4th of March next, it
would not adjourn before the middle OF
April or the lst of May.
The, House went into committee Of
the Whole, Mr.. Wheeler in the Chair,
on the Indian appropriation bill,
which appropriates S4,359,4O9. The
usual discussion about opposing the
policy of feeding and fighting the
Indians was carried on for a consider
able time. After disposing Of 81 pages
OF the bill, the House adjourned.

Thirteen Rabbits in one Hole.

The following story by the Union
town Genius rather beats any Of the
partridge stories yet told : John Cain,
of Masontown, Fayette county, says he
was tracking rabbits, and ran eleven
into one hole, then got a mattock and
commenced digging, and failingt to reach
them that day, he stopped up the hole
until morning, when he renewed his
labors, and while at work his dog ran
two more in the same hole, making
thirteen, all Of which, Mr.. Cain says,
he got in the morning that they were
wedged in the hole, two and two so
tight he could hardly get them out
when he came to them.

The New Government for the Dis
trfct.

trfct.
From the Washington Star, January N.J!
The movement started about one
year ago by our citizens, for a change
in the mode Of government OF the Dls-
trict, seems now about to be consum-
mated by the passage of a bill that
shall give US greatly enlarged powers
and privileges, and single and enect.
i've government in place OF the hall
dozen jarring jurisdictions now existing
in the District. ~
But, what is of the first importance
to us, the bill, as it passed the House
YESTERDAY, recognizes for the first lime
the principal that the Government
property should be taxed as private
property is here, and bear it's proportion
of the cost of improvements that are as
much for the benefit Of Government as
for the people Of the city. The 5oth
section Of the bill provides that there
shall be valuation taken in the DIS
trict of Columbia, of all real property
belonging TO the United States, except
the public buildings, but not OF per-
sonal property of the United States, IN
separate schedules, at least once IN two
wears; the assessment OF the Govern
ment property to be made under the d.
rection of the Secretary of the Interior
and upon the basis of valuation that
shall be adopted in making the assess
menl of the property Of private persons
for taxation.
The next section provides that there
shall be appropriated each year out OF
the Treasury of the United States the
same per cent. upon the assessed value
of the property Of the United States
within the District of Columbia as
other property-holders therein are taxed
on their real and personal property
the money thus appropriated by the
United States to be applied exclusively
in the manner specified in the acts
making such appropriations.
The Importance of this feature Of the
bill in securing the cooperation of the
General Government with the people of
Washington in making the seat of
Government what it should be, cannot
be over-estimated. Heretofore the
Government has been unwilling to
make it's proper contribution in the
shape of taxes or Its equivalent, be-
cause it had no confidence that its
money would be properly spent; but
under this bill, with the Government
duly represented in the administration
of our affairs, it has no hesitation in
agreeing to sustain its full proportion of
the expenses Of the district.
The establishment of Board OF Pub
lie Works, composed Of men Of ability
and integrity, charged with the duty
of establishing comprehensive and sys-
tematic plans for all general improve
ments, was apparently deemed a desid-
eratum by the House; and this feature
of the bill, we have no doubt, had much
to do with the disposition of that body
to agree to pay the proper portion Of
the expenditure for such works called
for by the tax npon Government prop
erty.
The bill, we have no doubt, will pass
the Senate without serious opposition,
as it is substantially the bill passed by
the Senate last session after laborious
consideration by Messrs. Hamlin, Sum-
ner, and others Of the Senate District
committee, reported it unanimously.
