HELPING THEMsELvEs.-Previo to the
adjournment, on Monday night, he House of
Representatives, being nstigated thereto by
that dsinterested patriot Ben Butler, amend
ed the appropriation bill, MS it came back from
the Senate, so as to give the President $780,
900, Vice President and Speaker $4,000,
judges of the Supreme Court $4,000, Sena-
tors and Representatives $4,000. In this
shape the bill went to a conference commit
tee OF the two houses, and was reported back,
making the salary of Senators and Represen.
tatives $1,000, instead of $4,000. In this
form it passed, with provision that as to the
salaries of Congressman, it should take effect
from March 4th, 1871. Thus Congress have
voted themselves an addition of 81, 900 back
pay for the last two years.
All the Maryland delegation voted against
the increase, and Speaker Blaine also had a
sense of the fitness of things, which led him
to amend the bill 50 as to make the increase
Of the Speakers salary to take place "hereaf-
ter" thereby taking himself out of the ring
ofthieves and plunderers.

The lNAUGURATIoN.-On Tuesday, March
4th, the second Inauguration of General
Grant, as President of The United States, took
place at Washington, with great "pomp and
circumstance" The oath of office was adj
ministered by Chief Justice Chase after which
President Grant read his inaugural address.
The latter was brief, as to its length and
abounded in generalites, which did not even
glitter" He declared his continued belief
in the San Domingo annexation scheme, and
announced unequivocally his adhesion to the
most advanced ideas of negro equality. The
chief merit of the document is its brevity.
Previous to the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent, the NiccPresident elect, Hon. Henry
Wilson, was installed into his office, in the
Senate chamber. Vice President Colfax
made his parting speech, and then admins
tered the oath of Office to his successor, after
which the Forty second Congress was declar
ed adjourned sine die.

WOMAN FROZEN TO DEATH-On The
night Of January Goth, which was the cold
est ever experienced in this locality, an Irish
woman named Finnity, who lived on the farm
formerly occupied by Geo II. Gather, Esq
in the 9th district, Baltimore county, started
from neighbours with her young child in
her arms to go home Nothing more was
heard of her until few days ago, when hel
dead body was fonnd in the woods back OF
Clark's saw mill, in partial state of decom-
position. 1t is supposed that after leaving
the house she became bewildered, and los
ing her way in the woods, sat down numbed
from the intense cold and in that position
froze to death. The body of the child which
ofcoursc must have persisted, has not yet been
discovered IoaosontoWn Union.

A CASE UNDER THE WILD Fowl Law
The Harre Republican, of last week says.
We last week stated that Jacob Poplar, one
of the Police Commissioners, under the "Wild
Fowl law, had been arrested for n violation
of some of the provisions of the law. The
case was tried before Justice Adams on Tues
day afternoon. A large crowd of spectators
thronged the magistrates office Geo w.
Bryant, Esq, conducted the case for the
State, and Alex. Evans, ESQ., of Ekton, APP
pcared for the defendant. A number of wit
nesses both for the State and defense were
sworn, and their testimony was remarkably
conflicting and contradictory. The case was
ably argued, and at considerable length, by
the learned counsel.
Justice Adams adjudged the defendant
guilty of the second charge, by having big
gun on board his boat. in violation of the 18th
section of the Wild Fowl law, and fined him
S125 and costs Mr.. Poplar will no doubt
carry his case to a higher Court

Nor CAUGHT.-Ben Butler, some time ago,
while bearing himself stoldly against the
shafts ofridicule and abuse which were hurled
at him on account of his "peculiarities," con-
soled himself with the reflection that, among
all the hard names which he had been called,
no one had ever yet called him a "fool."-
Knave he may be, but Old Ben was not
fool enough to be caught in Cakes Ames'
Credit Mobiier drag net. 1t hauled in some
mean fish, but it could not catch Ben.
