The Worcester Spy has an odd idea Oh tAe
oDcous aud relations Of Congress and congressman
sDaakne with some asperity the subject OF 'he u
ppaty OF the bill Increase The salaries OF senators
and Representative. The Spy says;
Congress cannot prevent men, even its own mem mem

many In this respect the present Congress mas DetteI

This idea Of separating Congressman from Congress Is
ewone The abstraction, Congress, cannot prevent

abstract idea is wise and honest while the concrete
Coagrassman is foolish and knavish.

RsY- FRONT ROYAL NOVELTY HOUSE,
1t was our pleasure to be guest at the
Novelty House, whilst at Front Royal,
last week, kept by that kind and gener-
Gus lady, Mrs. Grant, and conducted by
our young friend, Mr.. Robt. n. Wine,
as business manager. 1t would not be
in concert with our feelings did we not
say that we '.fared sumptuously every
day" We have Swung around the
circle" some little in our life, and must
state that we have never put up at 4
better kept hotel in all our travels. The
tables always were ladened with the
choicest subsrantials as well as delica.
cies of the season, and the only obstacle
in the way was that VIC were afraid of
eating too much for the interest of our
corporation. The rooms arr also COM
modious, well ventilated and excellently
furnished. Mr.. Robert Wine, the bust
ness manager, is the fright man in the
right place The bar is also supplied
with the choicest wines and liquors.
Don't fail to stop at the Novelty House
when YOU visit Front Royal.

say- Fly II THE WHEAT.-We regret
to learn that the fly is doing a great
deal OF mischief in the growing wheat
of this locality. They appear i'll the
joint of the stalk next to the ground,and
"sap" it to such an extent as to cause
prpstration of the stalk. A field OF Mr..
Henry Selby, ard also one of Mr.. liar
rison Lloyd, near town, have become al
most entirely ruined. Many otherhelds
have also become worthless, whilst others
more or less are injured, Some farmers
we learn have turned their stock upon
their fields, whilst others contemplate
blowing them up and planting corn. 1T
is also said that where Fertilizers have
been used the fly affects it but very lit
tie. This is certainly discouraging, as
one week ago this community never
had more tiourishing prospect tor
large wheat crop.
The cut worm is doing considerable
damage to the corn crop and gardens i'll
this vicinity.

Sss PROSPECTING FOR GoID.-WC

Eg" PROSPECTING FOR GoID.-We
understand that two of our citizens, 4
few days ago, learned that at 4 certain
place, on Ferry Hill, opposite our town,
treasure, consisting Of a large amount
of gold, was buried beneath the surface
of the earth. At least a Colt revolver
was found 10y passing stranger, the
muzzle having portruded through the
top of the ground, and upon the intclli-
gence of which gave Iise to a probabili-
ty that gold was buried there also,
whercupon two OF our citizens, 1--WE will
not mention names,) shouldereG pick
and shovel, and wendell their way ca
gerly for the deposit Of gold as they
supposed, elated highly in their minds,
specializing upon the establishment of q
second jefferson County Bank, and
building high hopes of a rich treasure
the California gold mines being but 4
''drop in the bucket compared With
this treasure. After ''throwing dirt" to
the extent Of about wagon load, hand
ling the pick and shovel with dexter
ity and vim, sufficiently to render a
Railroad hand ashamed, they came upon
large flat rock of about fourfeet square,
when they concluded that under that
rock was the treasure, and no mistake.
One of them remarked, ''Here is the
gold, now we have it, here it is, under
this rock, prize little more besides
various other ordinations. When the
rock was overturned, 10! and behold 3!
the gold wasn't there. They immedi-
atelv threw down the shovel and the
pick, and returned home in utter dis
gust, swearing they would ''never dig
for gold any more.

General Filz Lee aud Nellie Grant.

Among the incidents OF the recent
excursion from Washington to Mount
Vernon was the following, related i'll
the Alexandria Gazette, Of pleasant
interview between an ex-ContederaIe
cavalry officer (Said to have been Gen
eral Fitz Leg and Miss Nellie Grant.
The Gazette says:
The ex-Contederatc having accident
allv met an old friend among the lady
visitors, was introduced by her to her
daughter, and also, and to his great
surprise, when he heard her name, to
hsr daughters friend, the daughter Of
the President; but being rs courteous as
he is brave. he strove to render himself
agreeable to his distinguished acqualnt-
ancc, and by his affability and genial
Southern manners was so successful
that in a short time the reserve of new
acquaintanceship was worn off and they
were talking together as familiarity as if
they had known each other for years.
On their return he was particularly at
tentive. pointing out to her from the
deck of the steamer the several objects
of interest along the banks of the Poto-
mac and narrating the legends attached
to them, and, as the boat neared this
city, he expressed his regret at not be
mo able to escort her to her home, say
ing ne would certainly beg that honor
were il not that he must meet near
and dear relative, an invalid lady, who
was expected TO arrive there that even.
ing Then taking the hand she prof
cred him as he rose to leave her, he said
with 4 smile, PLEASE bear my regards
to the President, and be kind enough
to tell him that if he'll only furnish the
necessary rations and transportation,
I'll take 4 squadron Of the Black Horse
Cavalry and promise to end the Modoc
war and make him present Of Captain
Jack, dressed in General Canby's uni
form within thirty days" and, lifting
his hat, bowed himself towards the com
panion way down, when he disappeared,
she having laughingly remarked as he
babe her adieu, well, sir, must say
You are the most impudent man | ever
met.
