THE Legislative investigation on the

has been one of The londest-mouthed
men in charges against the integrity Of

THE Stste Senate bill to appropriate
one million dollars to the Centennial

ment. The appropriation would compel
the State to loan money, or resort 70 an

Captain Fraser, who lsteiy brought away
from the Earnscleugh Cave, in the south of
New Zealand, tho entire neck Of moa
with the skin of the gigantic bird still on it,
has been lecturing on the subject of his
discovery. The floor of the cave, he states,
is covered with a fine dust, in which lie
bones and tnany rolls resembling pieces of
the bark of a tree, but which, on examina-
tlon, proved to be fragments Of the red
dish-brown moa skin. While he was search
ing among these, his companion found un-
der a ledge the distinct remains of large
nest of grass with the fragments of .sg,
and bones of young birds in it; from which
it appears that the extinct bird not only
took refuge in but bred in such places OF
concealment as this now famous cave.
A murder and suicide occurred in Prime
street, Ne~ York, on the 3rd inst, between
two former partners in business, named
Anthony Barli and Peter Tarchini. Barli
did not attend to business, and be was
bought out two months ago. The partners
met two weeks ago and quarreled. Did not
meet again until on the morning of the day
above stated, when they met as they were
going to work. They qdarreled again, when
Barli drew a revolver and shot Tarchini in
the breast, after which he shot himself in
the head, both men being instantly killed.
Joseph Levins was taken from Shamokin
and committed to the Sun bury Jail, on
Wednesday week for shooting and killing
a man named James Mahan. Mahan kept
tavern, and put Levins out Of his house for
some cause or other. He went TO Levins'
house afterwards and fired four shots at
him. Levins then returned the fire, and
one of his shots took effect and killed Ma
han instantly. Levins then gave himself
up, and was committed to Jail by Squire
Caldwell to await judicial trial.

FACTS IN FAVOR OF CREMATION
What shall be done with the dead Z
Our larger cemeteries are full. A por-
zion of them is parcelled out and sold
to parties perpetues, but for those
who are unable to pay the price the
limit is five years, and although the
dead may be left little longer, they
are soon driven out, the ground is
overturned, and room is made for 9TH
ers. The bones of all the poor who
died ten years ago now lie in one COM
mon heap, and once more the ceme-
teries are filled. But the soil refuses
to do its work any longer. 1t has be-
come saturated, and will no longer alb
sorb. The graves are now dug in a
mass of putrefaction, and exha'ations
are constantly rising to poison the liv-
ing. Only thin layer of earth sepe-
rates the graves, and few day ago a
young aud beautiful girl, the idol Of
her home, was lowered into a grave
which filled the minds of every assis
tant with horror. A stream ofliqnitied
putrid matter was running in from the
grave beside it. Two grave-d ggers
recently struck too near when opening
a grave, broke open a coffin, and died
in few hours from the poisonous ex-
halations. Great precautions have to
be taken in digging ordinary graves
for, as | have previously stated, the
ground is thoroughly saturated, and
can absurd no longer. The condition

Whereas, said Elisha Baxter has

General Assembly Of said State, as
provided in the contribution thereof,
and has for long period been exer-
cising the duties of said office, into
which he was indicted according to
the constitution and laws Of said
State, and ought by it's citizens to be
considered as the lawful Executive
thereof:
-. And W ereas. it is provided in the
constitution of the United States
that the United States shall protect
every State in the Union on applica-
ton of the Legislature, or Of the
Executive when the Legislature can
not be convened against violence;
And whereas, said Elisha Baxter,

And whereas, the Federal Assem-
bly, of said State, convened in extra
session at the capital thereof, on the
18th inst. pursuant to a call made
by said Elisha Baxter and both hou-
ses thereof have passed joint reso-
luton also applying to me to protect
the State against domestic violence;
And whereas, it is provided in the

cases Of insurrection in any State, Or
Of obstruction to the laws thereof, it
shall be lawful for the President OF
