out the fires, and resort to every means to OBJ

for the burial, but just us the attending friends
were arranging the remains for the casket
there appeared uamis.able evidences of re-

inanimate mass of clay. The ear of an at.

ever did," AT his request the neighbors were
all called in, who crowded the house for hours,
declaring that the recovery of the man was
equal to anything recorded in the Scriptures.
He told this startled asseniblage of his friends
and neighbors that as he died all things
seemed dark, but only for an instant; his
eyes suddenly opened to a new world, the
real heaven which had been so many times in
his thoughts and had given him SO much COM

THE SENATE UNDER THE NEXT
PRESIDENT.

The NewYork Sun, which has been con-
sideriug the above subject, arrives'at the fol-
lowing conclusions:
1--WE have tested the temper ofsthe new
Senate. 1t is mildly Republican. Grant has
a majority of eight or nine in IL. This raises
the interesting question as to howethe Senate
will be likely to stand two years hence when
the next Administration comes into power.
Fwenty-six members of the present SEN
ate yacate their seats in March, 1877, of
whom sixteen are Republicans and ten are
Democrats. These Democrats represent States
that went heavily Democratic at the las. cleo.
rtious, aud Democrats are almost absolutely
certain to5take the places OF the present ten
| incumbents. This will preserve the Demo-
cratic column nnbrokeD in the next Senate.
GLOW will it be apt to fare with the six
teen retiring Republicans Among them
are Morrill, of Maine, Boutwell, of Massa.
chus9ts, and Anthony of Rhode Island =.
There is one more in New E6glaud-Cragin
of New Hampshire. There may be dodb.
about Cragin's successor; but We will ooucede
these four places to the Republicans There.
are seven others out of the sixteen, which, &C
cording to>recent elections. the Republicans
may hope to hold, namely, those of Ferry of
Michigan. Howe Of Wisconsin. Wright Of
lows, Window Of Minnesota, Hitchcock of
Nebraska, Harvey of Kansas, and Robertson
of South Carolina.
1.-The eleven above mentioned are all of the
sixteen for which, in our Judgment, the Re-
publicaus can make any show. Five Repub>
lican seats remain, those now filed by FIRE.
linghuyseh of New Jersey, Logan of Illinois,
Alcorn of Mississippi, Clayton of Arkansas,
and West of Louisiana. Unless the Demo-
Gratis make utter shipvreck of themselves in
the next Congress and in tie States where
they now WELD power, they cannot fail to
wress these Eve seats from the Republicans
at the next elections. IF they do. this will:
give the Opposition majority of two or three
in the first Senate Under the next President.
But this result will largely depend upon the
wisdomand prudence ofthe Democratic party
during the coming eighteen months. and es-
pecially upon the character of the two Presi-
dental candidates of 1876"

ANEW LAwFoR CONSTRUCTING STREETS.
The Ohio Legislature has recently passed
a neg Law for the construction of streets in
the cities of that State. Under this Law
cities are authorized. upon the petition of
three-f ourths Of the owners of property in
interest, TO construct strrots and issue bonds
to pay for the same, the holders of property
to pay an annual tax sufficient to liquidate the
bonded debt at maturity. The intent of the
new law is to assess the full cost of improves
menss upon AUDITING property aud at the same
time give the owners such time as they may
desire to pay for the same. In several of the
cities the people have already expressed
strong opposition to the law, and it is said
that it will be tested in the courts.
