NO WAR
The Demands of the United States TO
be Complied With.


All the Washington specials in the
morning journals unite in asserting
that Spain has conceded to our de-
mands, and peace is assured.
The Tribune dispatch says the
dispatch deciding the grave guess
ton whether there should be peace
or war between the United States
and Spain was received by Nr. Fish
tonight, and communicated TO the
President and Cabinet. 1t is Of the
most satisfactory character, and
comedies all demands made by the
United States. These demands, as
has heretofore been stated, were as
follows
First, the release Of the officers
and crew of the Virginius yet living /;
second, the return Of the Virginius !;
third. salute Of the flag, and
provisions for the families OF the
slain captives. The only reserva-
ton on the part Of apain is with
reference to firing made, the date
for this salute has been fixed at the
18th Of December, and to provide
for the contingency Of SPANS not
being able to enforce The promised
| concessions, work on naval constitute
Ii ons are not to be interrupted.
A dispatch to the Times, in add
ton TO the above, says Spain also
agrees to bring to trial and punish,
mcpt, the officers who perpctrated
tho horrible butchcry.
MApRD, November 20, 1873.
The Spanish Cabinet has agreed
| upon the delivery to the United
States Government of the steamship
Virginius and all persons remaining
alive who we're captured with her,
leaving the question whether the
seizure of the vessel vas legal or not
to DO settled hereafter by a mixed
tribunal the question whether dam
ages shall he paid to the families or
relatives Of the prisoners were shot,
is also to be settled in a similar man
ner. This decision was not arrived
at by The Spanish Government
before it had confidentially consulted
with the powers of Europe, and was
informed by all Of them that reparaN
ton was due for the capture Of the
steamer and execution Of the cap
tiveB.
The decision is also in conformity
with the opinion of leading Spanish
statesmen of all parties to whom the
question was submitted by tho Gov
ernment.

A scientific man of st. Louis has sue
ceeded in making chemical fluid gas
which, it is confidently predicted, will
soon entirely take the place Of Kerosene
and all such ellis. The great advantage
of this gas, is that it can be manufactured
by any private family. To use this gas,
however, one must first secure the Vesta
Gas-Burner. This Burner will fit any
of the coal-oil lamps now in general use
Mr.. R. S. Anderson, of our town, has
become duly authorized Agent for the
sale of the Vesta Gas Burner, and will
solicit purchasers for the same. He will
be pleased to exhibit and explain the
right to all or any persons.
To each purchaser of Burner is giver

anywhere for 80 cents per gallon.

The following lines were suggested b,
the death of my dear little boy, William
Alexander Lafayette, who died July l3
after much suffering, aged one year
eight months and thirteen days.
Weep not my dear, dear pa, for me-
am from sin and sorrow free;
Let me live where there is no pain,-
Let me live where my Jesus reigns.
I love to rest in this sweet place,
And sing about Gods matchless grace;
My Saviour loves my soul so well,
About His throne I'll ever dwell.
Living on earth met your charms,
EnciIcled in your precious arms;
Zion is now my blest abode,
And where I wish my pa to come.
Now, dear ma, when my grave you see
Do not in sadness mourn for me;
Emmanuel will by power divine,
Revive my corpse and make it shine.
Let all your hopes on Jesus rest,
And then you'll live among the blest;
Fatty, your little child's at peace
All sorrows here for ever cease.
You know on earth I loved you well,
Ere was numbered with the dead;
Though your affections towards me burn
To your dear home I can't return
Endeavor then my soul to meet
My little sister here you'll greet.
All Of the little ones here sing:
Christ, the Lord. is our dear king;
Christ did die our souls to save,
Rose then triumphant DER the grave.
Around the throne of my dear Lord,
Crystalline streams of water flow;
Keen raging thirst is here unknown;
And there's no hunger, grief or pain,
Nor any signing in this land.

Lady.
On Sunday last, there. expired, at her
ancient home on Turkey Creek, in our
District, a,3orsn whose birth, gifts and
character caused her to stand out always
prominently from the mass. This was
Mrs. Isabella NJ. Blocker, relict of James
Blocker, Esq, deceased many years since.
Mrs. Blocker was the only child of James
and Anna Berwick Morrison, native
Scotch people, of high standing and great
culture, who lived and died, many years
ago, in Charleston. Shawas alsoa grand
niece of DR.. James Beattie, the famous
Scotch poet. Born, educated and mar
ried in Charleston, this lady had every
advantage of the day in which. she grew
up. She was an accomplished pianiste,
a fine French scholar, and her home was
tastefully adorned with the fruits of her
own pencil and brush. And with all this
and through all good and evil-and
through long years of pain and suffering
in fact, through every day and hour OF
her life-she was thepure, humble, earn
est child of God.
Mrs. Blocker would have completed
her Soth. year on, the rslst instant. She
leaves three daughters-Mrs. Felix Lake,
sen., Mrs. John Lake, and Mrs. DIR. Alb
ney-and numerous grand and great
grand children. Her remains were in
TERED On Monday last in the old Blocker
burying-ground, two miles from her
home.
