A number of lumber rs-belonging to g
ring or combination in Troy, New York
city, Oswcgo, Chicago, &C., have failed. A
dispatch from New York says Their com
biucd means arc double, or three times thiel
liabilities, and they possess large quantities Of
lumber in Canada and in mills in Michigan
and in New York State. The firms in New
York are most heavily involved. Excepting
White G., Of Albany, and Page & Co., OF
Oswcgo, all the firms are we'll established, and
doing business of about $780, 900 a year each.
The creditors arc mostly men who have bought
their paper, or discounted it, and w. E. Dodge
is one of the heaviest creditors. Henry w.
Sage holds about $4,000 worth Of paper,
which has gone to protest.

MEXICAN AFFAIRs-The Washington
Chronicle in reference to the late disturbances
on the Mexican border says THAT General
Mckenzie, in his recent pursuit of a band OF
maraudcrs, composed Of Kickapoo and Llpan
Indians, who had been committing thefts, rob-
berries, and murders in the State Of Texas,
across the line into Mexico, and fighting bat
tie on Mexican soil without the formal consent
of that Republic, technically violated its SOW
crcignty, need not be disputed although done
without orders from the President. But
whether this act if not disavowed by the Uni
ted States, may be considered sufficient cause
of war is quite another question. That it will
cause earnest discussion between the Secretary
of State and tho representative of the Mexican
Government residing at Washington is not
doubted This, however. will probably end in
an amicable adjustment, and possibly an agree
mcnt on the part of tho two Governments
which will remove all apprehensions of hostili,
ties in the future for like causes"

cided that the Bishop shall send out suitable

of Parkersburg, had been requested to bring
the matter up. 1t was stated of the vestres
heard from that that of Wheeling was the only
one not favorable to separation. The Bishop
stated that he was not averse to 1t. a number
shared in the debate, and entire good feeling
was manifested. The motion to appoint COM
mittee to report on the subject was withdrawn.

the interest. An addition Of $500, to the salary
of each Bishop was voted, the salary at present

occurred few day since in Harmony Hollow.
1t appears that party in the woods near a
cliff thought they saw a bear go in hole un-
der large rock, and Immediately the war
whoop was sounded through the neighborhood.
Every available man, gun and dog was brought
to the front and put in position about fifty
yards from the supposed enemy. Some time
elapsed before any one could be induced to lead
the attack. Finally young brave started with
his dogs, and after considerable maneuveriog,
succeeded in getting the dogs to enter the cavity
he at the same time falling back to the, main
line. Pretty soon dog appeared at the open
ing, drawing something black after him At
this juncture panic seized the entire party,
and every fellow dropped his gun and took to
his heels. After running some distance they
all stopped to take look back, and one fellow,
pretty Keen on the scent, discovered it to be a
buzzard. Their "feelin' can better be im-
agined than described. Warren Sentinel.

papy,) are daily turning out $4,000 bricks,
Is, 700 of which are made by WINS patent
press-brick machine, which is capable of turn
ing out 10 bricks per minute. These bricks
are all made of tempered clay, and are Of on
excellent quality The yard owned by these
gentleman covers 1872 acres, fronting on the
Potomac river, the Alexandria and Washington
railroad and pike, and on the canal. They
burn coal entirely, and receive it direct from
Cumberland by the canal. This, as said be-

very reasonable, and such as will afford chance
to almost every one to own home

proprietors of the Old Penrod adobe,
are causing that ancient structure to
look as smart rs newly divorced grass
widow. The last touch is sprinkling

same, they will cause the old building
to take on quite an elegant, not to say

The appearance of this little beast, (who

as bumblebee,l was signal for all the

ercise their ingenuity in teasing him.
He was trembling with cold and dread,
and because he showed fight they just
worried him nearly to death. Legate
ought to either cage his animals where

heartless treatment or else stand over

ened little animal just because he is a
