To Priests in the Country.

Our Rev. Clergymen in the country have
it in their power to aid us in greatly in
creasing the cirealation of the STAR. In
each town or village throughout the South,
a few words from the resident or visiting
priest would secure the accession to GU
list of from ten to 6fty subscribers. In
pushing this work, besides the strong rea-
sons which have actuated His Holiness,
Pope Plus, aud all the Bishops of our Holy
Mother the Church, to advise the general
circulation of Catholic works of all kinds,
We would respectfully offer, as a further
inducement, to supply all priests who send
MS subscribers, with such Catholic books
a. they may select, to the value of one
fourth of the money sent to US. 60.

POSTAL AFFAIRs.-It is not a little astopish-
ing that the Postofice Department at WASH
ington still adheres to the ante-bellum mode Of
conducting the distribution of mails. With
new railroads penetrating every corner Of the
country and steamers leaving our wlarves
every day, we find it almast as difficult to
transmit mail matter to towns in our inmedi-
ate vicinity as it was twenty years ago. Thus
letters and papers posted here on Sautday
morning. after II o'clock, for places N the
Opelousas Railroad and On the New Qlsans
and Texas Railroad, which is completed 40
far as Donaldsonville, have to remain nthis
postoftice till Monday morning; though the
trains ran regularly, every morning, the VI iole
length of both lines. These we cite mercy as
examples, for we believe that it would nd be
difficult to mention other equally impo4a nt
routes on which vast room for improvements
afforded. It must not be understood tina we
blame our postoffice here, for by personaex
perience we know that it is conducted fth
admirable regularity; on the contraryIHe
think that if the Department was to leay&he'
regulation of all our mail matters to Postbs-
ter Lowell, whose experience has taNghtfm
our wants and necessities, and who has alHys
shown disposition to aid us to the extet of
his ability, he would soon have them, cd ar
ranged Us to leave no room for complaint.I

CINCINNATI.
Narrow Escape from Drowning
Heroic Conduct.

CINCINNATI, January, 3O.-A young
boy named Edward Summers, in at
tempting to skate across 10 the Kentucy
shore, this morning, ran upon the track
of last nights harbor towboat, and as
the ice was merely OF last nights
formation it was insufficient to bear
him, and with cry for help he disap-
peared beneath the ice. On rising to
the surface he caught at the ice 10 save
himself, but it crumbled in his grasp
A dozen times he rose to the surface
and as many times his efforts failed.
By this time some one had started 10
his assistance, but breaking through the
ice and barely escaping with his own
life he retreated to the shore, where an
immense crowd had collected, but no
one dared to venture on the new made
ice. For long time the boy was LEFT
to his apparent fate. At last, armed
with long ladder, young man named
Paris Brown and Richard Burns, clerk
Of the steamer Lawrence, started out at
the peril OF their own lives to save him:
Ia the meantime several had started
out from the Kentucky shore, pushing
themselves along on the ice in a
skiff, but the method proved slow and
they finally desisted. Ropes were
thrown to the boy, but his hands were
too cold to retain their grasp. Rapidly
the two young men neared the open
space, which had grown quite large in
the boys efforts 10 save himself, and
finally he was hauled out on the ladder
in a completely exhausted condition.
having been in the water fully three
quarters of an hour. The young
men Immediately divested themselves
OF their coats, in which they wrapped
the boy, and while one pushed the lad
der towards the shore, the other com
menced vigorous rubbing. The half
drowned and nearly frozen lad was I'M
mediately taken on board the steamer
R. R. Hudson, where he was rubbed
with fannels and gradually brought
to. The saving of the boy was loudly
cheered bv the vast crowd assembled
on both sides OF the river.

Arrest OF n Murderer.

DWIGHT, January 30.-A Prussian,
Karl Parowiz, who lived near here, and
was generally called Count" has been
missing eince last Thursday. His hired
man, Frank Shaffer, was arrested last
night in Chicago, where he had fled,
dressed in the Counts clothes. He
confessed this morning that he had
killed him in squarrel, but not willing
ly, alleging that the Count first kicked
him, and that he retaliated with the
stove iron. He says that he buried the
body under a manure pile near the
house. Both were drunk when they
left Dwight that evening. Shaffer was
committed for theft, and will have an
examination on the charge OF murder.

and makes it the duty Of the District
ATTORNEY to commence without delay
prosecution for the recovery thereof
The bill was passed. 49,
Mr.. Butler, OF Massachusetts,, from
the same committee, reported Dill
further to regulate the jurisdiction OF
the Supreme Court. 1t increases the
existing minimum Of $1,000 as TO the
value Of matter in dispute to 5000. 1t
also allows criminal cases to be certl-
fed from the Circuit Court to the
Supreme Court for the review OF law
questions of doubtful character. He
explained the bill and showed its neces-
sity to prevent the too great accumuia-
ton of cases in the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Merrick offered and advocated
an amendment allowing appeals from
the Supreme Court OF the District OF
Columbia to the Supreme Court OF the
United States.
Pending discussion the House, on
motion of Ms. Farnsworth, took up the
appropriation bill with the Senate
amendments, which were concurred in
and the bill passed.
Mr.. Connor, of Texas, introduced q
resolution directing the committee on
Foreign Affairs to inquire into certain
outrages perpetrated on the Texas from,
tier by Mexican depredators, and that
TREY examine Colonel Williams, Of that
section, now in the city. Referred TO
the committee on Foreign Affairs.
The bill exempting the iron ice boats
built by the city Of Philadelphia from
the inspection required by law was
taxed from the Speakers table and
the Senate amendments were con-
Cured in and the bill passed.
On motion of Mr.. Sargent, from the
committee onAppropriations, the regular
Indian appropriation bill was taken up,
and general debate took place on the
Indian policy. =.
Mr.. Beck commended the Admins
tration in sustaining the Indian Peace
Commission.
Mr.. Niblack thought our Indian
policy quite vulnerable. He did not
oppose the bill, however, as it simply
carried out the existing laws and treaty !;
many items were unnecessary; some
tribes had almost disappeared, but the
appropriations for them were required
by the treaty stipulation.
Mr.. Garfield, delegate from Wash
ington Territory, advocated rigid ad-
ministra,ion ofjustice, backed by force,
the Indians being controlled largely by
a sense OF fear.
Brief speeches were made by Sparks,
Eldridge aud Sargent, and some amend
ments were offered but no action was
taken.
Mr.. Hazleton, from the committee on
Elections, submitted a report in the
contested case of Bolles vs.. Edwards,
from the Third district OF Arkansas,
with a resolution declaring Bolles en-
titled TO the seat which Edwards holds.
He gave notice that he would call 1t up
at an early day.

a prominent citizen Of Chicago, who has

Chicot county, Arkansas, writes to Hon.
Jos. Medill, which appears in the
Appeal tomorrow morning wherein he
recounts recent negro outrages, gwen
in these dispatches a month since, and
attributes the entire responsibility to
Senator Clayton, OF Arkansas, and says:
"To Powell Clayton, Senator from
Arkansas in Washington, l believe, is
traced the authorship Of this great
crime-to him, to his satellites, to his
thieving, worthless, wicked crew OF
bandits holding Office in the State 6ty
his appointment, by his chicanery, by
his fraud and imposition upon poor,
uplearned darkeys. The reward OF his
infamies in the State is well known.
How he became Governor; how he
issued fraudulent certificates; how he
induced the Legislature, composed large
ly of negroes, two-thirds of whom can
not read or write, to pass law
allowing the Governor to appoint all
county officers until the election In
1872; how he issued State bonds ad
libitum; how be became Senator by a
fraud; how he had contracted with
