graceful that Congress should have failed to

HORRIBLE ATROCITIES IN CUBA.-An Ha- vana letter of the 22nd states that battle took place at Naranjo lately, in which the Spar ish commander advanced to a consid- erable distance from his post with only five hundred men, and in traversing ravine fell into an ambush of the insurgents treble his number; and after spirited fusilade the Cubans charged sword in hand to close quarters when the Spaniards broke and fled. They endeavored to gain the shelter of the fort, but their pursuers slew them right and left, so that only fourteen escaped. On the succeeding day the commander of the division visited the scene and found the dead and wounded stripped and the latter suffering acutely. A pile of the dead was ordered to be made for burning their re- mains, and as the cremation progressed the surgeons pronounced upon the life chances of the wounded, and those beyond recov- cry were, by order of the commander, picked up by four men and tossed upon the burning pile.

THE MAIL SERVICE CRIPPLED. The house appropriation committee has decided to destroy all fast mail servlce, and Tn this respect to entirely cripple the post-office department and place it and the govern ment at the mercy of the railroads. Under the plea of economy, the committee pre- poses to deprive the people of the present mail system, and to give the railroads the power to charge what they choose for rapid transmission. The post-office appropria- ton bill, so far as it relates to mail trans portation, entirely destroys the power of the post-office department 10 secure any postal car facilities on the fast trains, and will abolish the fast mall service. The rail- road companies agreed to the rates-6 mills per foot per mile, run at speed less than twenty-five miles per hour z mills per foot at speed less than thirty miles, mills pel foot at speed less than thirty-fve miles, mills per foot over thirty-fYe miles, pro vided the bill went through as referred to the committee that is, the department as
 suming all terminal and side service, or the delivery of mails at post-offices. The com mittee, understanding fully what the con l sequences will be, have cut off the sever l and eight mill rate. This throws off al
 fast service, and will put the department a | the mercy of the railroads, which will l doubtless refuse to give frst-class service
 for six and seven mills Correspondent

The first time he uses it he notices the httle round holes in the paper and naturally in quires the reason, which gives her the chance to say with regretful sigh that it's only Domestic Paper Fashion that she would have used some time ago but that she saw he was poor just then and felt as if she ought to economiZe to h l) him along.

 "It has always been the policy of this paper to disregard the rumors in respect to its circulation and financial condition. Orig mating as they almost invariably do in sources inimical to Mir Beecher, we have preferred to let the falsehoods die natu- ral death. The latest attack however, is so likely to deceive, that we deem it neces- sary to state that the Chrtsttan Union is now upon sound financial basis, and that far from any prospect or intention of sus- pending publication, we will by our reor- ganization be enabled to give much bet ter and more acceptable paper than ever before. Several valuable improvements in the general contents will shortly be made, and the Christian Union enters upon the centennial year with the highest hopes and brightest prospects of continued success, and so far as we kNow there is no reasona- ble apprehension that it will not survive to celebrate it's own centennial"

 DEAR NEws.-The Village Improvement Association held it's first meeting on Satur. day, April 29th, at the bank at 73O D. m. A constitution was adopted and the follow ing officers elected: President, Wm. B. Rudd; secretary, treasurer and collector, A. F. Roberts; directors, James Bird, Wm B. Perry and Thomas L. Norton. The as- sociation purposes to set out shade trees improve the sidewalks and otherwise beau fy the village. On Saturday next it is pro posed that the members of this assoclatior have 'bee and devote the day to setting out trees. The subscription list already looms up in quite respectable proportions One of the strong points of the assoclatior is the small number of it's officers. Dec oration day will soon be here. aud all thos. who were in service in the army or navy are requested to meet at the Academy hal in this village on Friday evening at 2 3( o'clock. to perfect arrangements for fit- ting notice of the day.

The Indiana Building.

The Philadelphia Ledger has the fol-
lowing about our State building on the
Centennial grounds:
The Indiana building consists of
three sections, the central portion ris-
ing above the annexes which flank it,
and having IA rounded roof, with venti-
lator ~ top. 1t is colored in yellowish
and brownish tints. The centre is Oc-
cupied by hall, from each of whose
four angles small rooms have been cpt
off. One Of these is used as general
reception room, and contains, in addi-
ton to slabs of native wood, chair
made of one hundred pieces of wood
from Elkhart county. Back of this is
a ladies' reception room, containing in
addition to the furniture a large paint
ing of the scenery of the Sierra Nevada
and some pictures in worsted work.
In the rear of the hall is post-Office
and baggage room, and on the right an
Office, i'm the rear of which is reading
and press room, with files of papers,
maps, &c. The central hall rises clear
to the roof, and on the walls are panels
on which, in large letters, are painted
statistics of the resources, population,
&C., of the different counties and large
towns"
