with its balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
cleaning, painting, papering, white
washing, &c, to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, so we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow than
hers
Now, such being the case, it is q
matter of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials of
the best quality, and ct the same
time at the least cost. That "the
best is the cheapest in the end" is a
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First tits the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the. first cost.
lam speaking now of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phenix Brand of
Eckstein Hills & Co., for which I
am special agent,
1t has now been triedin this city
and county for ten years, and never
for once, has 1t failed to give entire
satisfaction. And I do firmly be-
lievs and assert there is no better
lead made. For colored paints, for
cottages, &c., We have our own
colOred paints, which, for durability
and cheapness, far excel all liquid or
chemical paints. They never fade or
peel, and retain their lustre for years
Zinc Paint, Graining Colors, Var.
nishes, and Brushes to use them, al
ways on hand, OF the best quality,
and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.
Now, after painting, the smoky
walls must be papered and decorated;
whitewash won't do, it rubs off, and
soon looks as bad as ever. Ihaye the
largest and best variety of Wall Pa
per ever brought to this city, which
must be sold at the lowest prices.
Now this is saying 4 good deal, butif
you think Of pspering, don't buy IN
til you look at my samples, and you
will be convinced that this statement
is true. But doyou ask where is this
place ? Where are such bargains to
be had ? And where only are the
best goods kept Why Where
else than at McCulloch's old and
reliable Drug StoTel Established So
years ago ! Come and see.

bed, and with one blow killed the
boy. He never moved. I can't say
how it was that the boys throat

me, and l struck him from behind,
using the same ak. He fell to the
floor. Mrs. Hamnet then came rush
ing into the room, and, as she pass

but did not kill her. She shrieked
once or twice" ,"Oh, God, John!" and
then l struck a second blow, which

The legislative appropriation bill

Gus amendments we're made, the bill
was passed.
On the 29th in the Senate q bill
vas introduced to reduce the salar-
les in the civil service. After 0c-
tober next it provides that ten per
cent shall be deducted from the CON-
pensation of certain officers and
thirty per cent from others, but does
not affect Congressman. Sumner s

remarks we're made by Frelinghuy-
sen and Thurman. In the House
two bills relating to the currency
were introduced. Bill defining
RIGHTS of citizens in foreign countries
wss taken up, The Indian Appro-
nriation bill was next taken up, and
several speeches were made after
which the River and Harbor bill was
reported and referred.
The Senate on the Both was en-
gagged on thE subject of printing
Prof. Hayden's report. The resolu-
ton to print $500 copies was op-
posed because there was no arrange
ment by which they could be dis
tributed, and the franking privilege
came in for its share of notice. The
-ivil rights bill was taken up and
Senator Norwood made an old fash
toned democratic pro-slavery, anti
negro, speech but hadn't strength to
finish. The legislative appropria-
ION bill was referred. Bill to in
or sse the pay department Of the ar
nv passed 1t makes places for six
Lew paymasters. The House consid-
cred the bill defining the rights OF cit
zens, and afterwards passed the bill
relative to the Louisville and Port

AocoRDNe to the tales which
Baxter and Brooks tell, they should
both be "ousted" and a new election
be neld. Senator Clayton and
Chief Justice Mcclure, should also
be served with a writ of''ouster." "
Brooks statement claims he was
eleqted in fact. That returns in his
favor we're suppressed; that Baxter
purchased and manipulated the as
semblv, and intimated the Supreme
Court BY having a med men present.
Baxter, it would appear, was sup
ported as the tool of some men who
failed to be able to use him, because
he was not quite venal enough for
their purpose, when they turned
against him, and speedily undone
him. The President has the case
under advisement.

The Con. COP. has met the wish
es ofthe people, in providing for the
submission of the liquor question
in a separate article. The article
as adoped reads as follows:
"First-License to traffic in spir-
ituous, vinons or malt liquors under
such regulations and limitations as
shall be prescribed by law, may be
granted; but this section shall not
prevent the General Assent bly, from
passing such laws to restrict such
traffic and to compensate injuries
resulting therefrom.
"Second-NO license to traffic in
intoxicating liquors shall hereafter
be granted in this state, but the
General Assembly may by laws res
train or prohibit such traffic as may
provide against the evils resulting
therefrom.
Doubtless the members Of the
Con. Con congratulate themselves
on the able manner in which they
have fuddled the question. It is
aheads win; tails you loose" In
other words if proposition first is
adopted, license may be granted,
bat the Legislature shall regulate
and restrict, DC. IfpropositiOn sec
on6 is adopted, no license will be
necessary-any one can sell, and the
legislature may by law restrain or
prohibit the traffic so as to provide
against the evils resulting there
from. In any event the sale Of liqu-
or will be provided for, and even
the Legislature may not entirely
prohibit the sale but only so far as
to provide against the evils result
ing therefrom."

FINANCE BILL-The House bill
providing for Free Banks and an In
crease Of currency is in the hands
of the Senate Committee. 1t will
either be so amended as to relieve
it of its Objectionable features, OF
else a new bill will be reported au-
thorizing free banking upon the
same basis as now, and retiring fifty
per cent. in greenbacks for every
dollar issued in National Currency
until the volume of Green backs is
reduced to $50 or 800 millions, and
also providing for the conversion of
greenbacks into At per cent. gold
bonds. As it will establish a con-
nection between greenbacks and
gold, it may not prove SO objection
able to the powers that be as the
former bill. Let US hope SO.

morning, was arrested last evening
at Wachter's saloon, in Allegheny

He gave, in substance, the follow

answering questions without the
slightest hesitation.
He started out with the assertion
that the murder had been entirely
unprecedented. He then proceed

two glasses of beer. That was all

saloon I went to a grocery store

some cigars and five cents worth OF
candy for the children. I don't
know the name of the storekeeper
but had been there several times.
l think l was at the store about nine
o'clock in the evening. Just as I
was leaving it came into nv head
that I must have HaInnet's money.
1 thought he had a great deal Of
money In the house, and as felt so
queer all at once In my head l
thought I must get it. I went di.
rectly to the house but don't know
how 1 got there. I suppose 1 must

getting into the house 1 found Mr..

and it occurred to me that to get the
money I must kill the children. 1

CoNeREss.-In the Senate on the
2Sth, when about to recommence
discussion of the Louisiana bill, it
was moved that the finance bill and
Presidents veto be taken up. The
remarks which followed led to e "a
ther lengthy political debate, at the
conclusion of which a vote was ia
ken resulting 35 to q. The ques-
ton was then taken on the passage
ofthe bill over the veto. Result 81 to
30. So the Presidents veto was
sustained. In the House $4,000
was voted for the relief Of the suf-
Ssrsrs by the inundation caused by
