the final evacuation of French territory to
begin the LIST of Septe mber.
A Cesus Belli Between England and
Mexico.
CITY OF MEXICO, March 1.-The Mexi-
can Government has made an official
answer to the British note making demand
for damages in consequence Of raids by
Mexicans on British Honduras. In an
swer the Government says it will do every
thing in its power to prevent repetition of
these depredations, but refuses to entertain
the proposition for damages. The Govern
ment also hopes England will not carry out
the treat contained in its note to invade the
territory of Mexico, should its demand not
be conceded, and declares that the Repub-
lie has always observed its lawful obliga-
tons.
Religious Ku-KIux.
The Trait D. Union saws religious
troubles are apparently reviving. A priest,
clad in the garb Of his order, appeared on
the streets and protested against the en-
forcement of a iberalizing law in regard to
religious worship. The Government has
issued an order, however, that the law must
be fully observed. Under its operation Pro-
SNSS@-ASAA- 40 hah1hS Eapiu pEORre&S
throughout the republic. This spread of
Professionalism gives great offence to
the Catholic priesthood, who are
using every means to prevent
its growth and circumscribe its in
fuence. The consequence of their efforts
has been the occurrence of several deplora-
Bile scenes lately. Very recently a crowd
OF fanatics excited to frenzy by the SER
mons of some priests, made an at ack upon
congregation of Protestants worshippir1g
in church in San Luis. No one was
killed so far as known, but several were in
jured. The police finally dispersed the
rioters. These occurrences bode misfor-
tune in the future, unless the authorities
interpose at once and re-establish law and
order.
A Mercurial shower.
A remarkable phenomenon was wit
messed recently in the town of San Ignacio,
Sinaloa, where there was quite shower Of
fine drops OF mercury falling
everywhere and covering plants. The in
hsbitants collected many drops 10 preserve
as mementoes of this singular shower, and
samples have been secured for scientific

LOUISVILLE.
Large Rectifying Distillery Burned.
$4,000 Gallons of Spirits Gone.
The Great Eastern Circus Kills Three
More Victims.

LOUISVILLE, March 13.-The large rec
trying establishment of L. Weller 81 Son
was burned down tonight. The fire caught
about s O'Clock from the vapor escaping
from small column Of the still coming in
contact wi b the blaze of lamp, which ex-
ploded, and the flames spread throughout
the house almost instantly. The house and
contents were entirely destroyed. 1t is
said it was the best equipped redistil-
ling house in the country. About
$4,000 gallons of spirits were burned. Wei
ler's loss is estimated by himself at $50, 900,
insurance $4,000, half on the machinery
and half on stock. Weller & Son will COM
mence Immediately, causing no delay in
business.
A Man and Boy Instantly Killed and
Another IDJured-A Third Victim OF
the Tent Pole Dies.
To-day the horses in one of the wagons
of the Great Eastern Circus ran off while
the procession was passing through the
streets, throwing the driver, named James
Barbee to the ground and dragging him
some distance. He was taken up insensi-
BILE and died in fifteen minutes. The horses
dashed on up the street, running over boy
named George Zabraid, six years old, kill
ing him instantly. They also knocked
down an old man, name unknown, disloca-
ting his shoulder and otherwise seriously
irjuring him. 1t is reported that third
victim of the falling tent pole Monday
night died TO day in the upper end of the
city. -
The Late Bank RObbery-ImpOrtan
Legal Questions.
Developments in the Falls City Tobacco
Bank robbery continue to increase the loss
es, which are now over 100000. The fol-
lowing U. S. 10-40's, dated March 1, 1864,
and for $1,000 each are missing: Nos.
99.901, 24,674. &c, 019, 65,553, rs, 189, 103,-
1856, 72,O55, 1857, 1884, 91,13O. The
bank and depositors tomorrow probably
offer a reward of fifty Thousand for the cap
ture of the burglars and the recovery of the
property.
The bank loses nothing unless legal ques-
tions arising out of the affair are settled
against it. A debtor of the bank to-day ten
dered On amount due and demanded his
collaterals. As these had been stolen the
debtor refused to pay, holding the bank
responsible for the loss of the collaterals.
Suit will be entered tomorrow against the
debtor and there is considerable interest in
the result as it involves probably 100000
dollars in a similar condition. M
Parricide.
Last Sunday morning Ezra Cleaver,
about eighteen years old, near Noylnn sta
ton, Hardin county, demonstrated with his
father for choking younger brother. The
old man seized shovel to strike him, when
Ezra struck him on the head with board,
injuring him so badly he died the same
evening.

Lieutenant Governor.

Prison.

The Governors Party is RepuIsed and
Falls Back for ReinfOrcements.
VIRGINIA, New, March 13.-Among the
last acts of the lately adjourned Legislature,
was one detaching the office of Warden of
the State Prison from that of Lieutenant
Governor, one official heretofore being in
charge of both functions. Gov. Bradley
and the Board of Prison Commissioners,
to-day, attempting to install the new War
den, were refused admittance to the prison
by Lieut.. Gov. Denver, who ordered the
guard to fire upon Gov. Bradley's party if
they persisted in the attempt to gain pos
session. The Governor has ordered Gen.
Van Bakkeln, with one field piece and 80
militia from Virginia, o report at the State
Prison to-morning and enforce the law.
Lieut.. Gov. Denver is said to regard the
Law as an act of personal hostility to him
self and announces his determination to
bold possession until an appeal is had to
the courts.

homeward, and reached Hartford as already
stated, to consult counsel and the family of
the successful rival. The interview took
place, but with very unsatisfactory results
as the family. friends said that the girl was
old enough 20 take care of herself without
any interference on their part. The object
of seeing counsel was to arrange, in case
the marriage should take place and the
"Count" should return to this country, for
prosecution for breach of promise, proba-
bly, with design TO anLoy the Italian and
make the case notorious.

A CORRESPONDENT Of Nature suggests
that the white, telescope appearance OF the
moons surface, resembling snow In many
parts, may be explained By the fact that
the extinct volcanoes Of our satellite are
covered with crystals Of salt. The late
eruption of VesGyius, where q light crust
of salt covered the surface Of the emitted
lava, seems 10 furnish some plausibility 10
the theory.

BOSTON, March 19.-The coroner's jury
on the deaths caused by the recent Hano-

been faulty and unsafe in construction, and
that the passages for egress were entirely

purposes, in which are stored or to be stored
combustible material, be thoroughly in
spected aud provision made for the pro-
lection of life, SO that similar calamity
