The House Resolutions.

The following are the resolutions intro
duced into the L. S. House by Mr.
Wood, (Democrat) of New York. The
House by a vote of SO to 81 refused
to suspend the rules that the resolutions
might 'ome up at once:
Whereas, According to the monthly
statement of the Secretary OF the Treas
ury there was cash balance on hand in
the Treasury on the LIST inst, of Sl2i,-
SOS, 745; and
Whereas, This large sum was with
drawn from circulation by taxation and
Whereas, Neither the public ncccssi-
ties nor a sound policy of finance can re-
quire cash reserve of such magnitude,
which not only produces no interest, but
prevents income by its disastrous effects
upon trade and commerce and
Whereas, There is dearth of the
circulating medium and the necessary
moneyed facilities in consequence, which
are retarding business, distressing hor-
rowers, aud expressing industries; there
fore,
ReSoirsd, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be requested to extend relief
to the people by the disbursement of
such proportion Of the cash on hand
as will be consistent with the safety and
the immediate liabilities of the Treasury
and its accruing resources, to the end
that trade and commerce may he revived,
and the industries and interests OF the
people be promoted.

that he had not his pocket compass with
him. In this sorry plight he wandered
in circles, MS people do who are lost in
the bush wet, weary, hungry, for he had
no food save wild berries. He was al
most exhausted, when happy thought
occurred to him. Tying his pocket flask
and his powder-fask to his dogs tail, he
fastened his long sash around the ami
mails neck, holding ono end in his hand,
Then he gave the dog tremendous kick.
The animal was so completely surprised
at this treatment that he stood for mo-

Washington followed desperately over

finally the sash gave way. With one ire

further the frantic animal, tho terrible

JUsT TAKEN HIS BrrTERs.-We heard seely-

Remark to brother Baker that he had :" just

A RaLll Bride.

Tho Pittston, PENN Gdset'. tells the
following About eleven week., ngo' !,
young lady named Cox, daughter OF
Miles Cox, Of Stoddardyille, went into
the yard to kin some chickens. The dog
followed her, and picking up one OF the
chickens, ran on with il. She chased
him with a stick to recover IT, and com
ing up with him, he turned upon her,
and bit her in the arm, laccrating II fear
fully. Her mother and brother coming
to the rescue, were also badly bitten by
the Infatuated beast. The wounds healed,
however, and nothing more was thought
Of the matter. Tho young woman was
engaged 10 be married to young man
living ut Goldsboro, named Alfred Ker-
rick, aud the wedding was appointed to
come oil at the place about two weeks
ago.
Or the wedding morning, as she was
about to perform her additions, the
water sent q SILVER through her whole
system and frightened her, and at the
breakfast table the coffee had such an
effect upon her that she spilled 1t over
the table. She then complained OF
feeling unwell, and her friends advised
her to remain at home, but she said |
she did not want to disappoiDt AL, and,
accompanied by sister, proceeded to
where the wedding ceremony
was performed
Immediately after this she was seized
with spasms, bearing all the indications
Of hydrophobia. In one Of her lucid
intervals she warned tho company that
she would bite them il they did not keep
away from her. "But, said she to her
husband, cal, you need not be afraid,
won't bite you.' In one of her par
oxisms she BIT "A lady who was endeav-
BRING to soothe her. Soon after assuring
ler husband that she would not bite him
she was seized with commissions, and
aging back in his arms, died.
The other members of the family who
we're bitten by the dog have not, as yet,
displayed any symptoms of the disease,
out they live in hourly dread.

The DETROIT RIVER TUNNEL en-
terprise will consist Of two main tunnels
fifty feet apart, and about two miles in
length, with roofs about eighty feet be-
low the surface of the river. Between
and below the level of these lies the
sub-tunnel, three-fourths of mile in
length, for drainage purposes. The lat
ter is all tina. thus far has been attempt
ed, work en- the American end Of it hay
ing been begun some three months
slHce. The Inauguration of the build
ing was the sinking of shaft on either
side to the depth below the level of the
sub-tunnel. In these are to be located
wells for the reception of the water from
sub-tunnel, and from them the drainage
thus accumulated will be pumped back
into the river. 1t is also probable that
these shafts will be utilized for the use
of foot passengers, by the placing of
spiral stairways within them. All that
has yet been done has been accomplished
by boring, a method which, to certain
degree, will be dispensed with in the
construction of the main tunnels. On
the Canada side, where the work has
just begun, depth of 120 feet-to SOLID
rock bed-has been reached. BY nice
engineering calculation, the bodies of
workmen from each end will meet in ex-
act harmony. The main tunnels will
have to describe curves in reaching the
two points of egress, because of the
character of the river bed, which
consists of SOLID rock, overlaid with clay.

The COTTON Increment.

The New York Financial Chronicle has
returns from the Southern ports showing the
receipts, exports, ETC., of cotton for the
week ending Oct. 10. From the figures
thus obtained it appears that the total
receipts for the seven days have reached
38,291 bales AGAINST 81, PCS bales last
week, 74,145 bales the previous week, and
81, POS bales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first of September,
1872, 4l6,360 bales against 268,S74 bales
fer the same period of 1871, showing an
increase since Sept. 1 this year of 147, 406
bales. The exports for the week ending
same date reach q total of 47,57l bales, OF
which $4,000 we're to Great Britain, II, 1866
to France, and 2,305 to rest of the conti-
-nent, while the stocks as made up are now
28S,S85 bales. Compared with the cores.
ponding week of last season, there is an in
crease in the exports this week of Il, 679
bales, while the stocks are a., 1893 bales more
than they were at this time year ago.
We make the following extracts from the

CONSUMPTION OF GREAT BRITAIN
We have been asked to state what is the
present consumption of Great Britain and
average weight of bales. For the purpose
of indicating these facts we have prepared
the following table, giving the average
weight of American, Brazil, Egyptian, etc,
bales the same as they were last year, and
determining the total pounds on that basis;
we thus learn that the average weight OF
the takings this year is 1853 ID, and of the

ABOUT SHAVING.

There can be little doubt but that the
practice Of shaving at all Is unnatural. Be-
sides the dignity the hair imparts to the
face, gnd the protection it affords against
cold, the beard also plays the part Of an
efficient respirator. With good beard and
moustaehe, a man may fairly disdain to
plug I'D bis nostrils with common woel
Prot. Tyndal's dictum Notwithstanding.
Among the Sheffields, England, grinders,
the mortality, which is so terrible charac-
teristic oftheir trade, is much lower amongst
those who do not shave. The lungs of a
Sheffield grinder after death are as black as
though they had been saturated with ink,
and when cut through present consist
encV and texture similar to those OF India
rubber. This is owing TO the presence OF
innumerAble and minute particles of steel,
of which the greater part at least might
have been excluded had not shaving left
the mouth and nOstrils unprotected. Many
of the ingenious appliances that have been
invented to protect the grinder are nothing
more than substitutes for beard. Grape
masks, magnetic wire screens to cover the
mouth, etc, are all merely attempts TO imi-
tate NATURES own respirator. By singular
coincidence, razor grinding is the most
deadly branch of this sad employment. 2
