The eldest son of Mrs. King, living
one aud half miles northeast ofCory-
don in this state, is in very critical
condition from the result of having
accidentally swallowed burr few
days ago. The young man was gath,
ering corn, the burr stuck to his NIT
ten on his hand, and in pulling II of
with his mouth the burr was drawn
by his breath into his windpipe
where it remained for a day or two,
and he could touch it with his finger.
Not being alarmed at the dangerous
result it now threatens, he continued
his work as though nothing had hap
pened. The burr has now passed
down below where it can be extracted
by instruments, and the surgeons who
have examined the case fear bad re-
suits from any attempts at taking it
out by an incision.

The following is the Associated
Press report of the situation ut New
Orleans late Tuesday evening:
About six o'clock this evening
Nichols militia, about 5000 strong,
had a review on st. Charles street, OBJ.
posite Lafayette Square. As they
marched through the streets they were
cheered by men and ladies who
thronged the galleries and waved theiI
handkerchiets. They were principally
armed with Springfield rifles, with
bayonets and cartridge boxes, though
some were armed with carbines, shot
guns and muskets, and marched in a
manner that showed they were famil-
lar with the drill. After the review
campanies were detailed for duty and
marched off to different points. Some
are patroling the city tonight, but
most of them We're disbanded for the
night. All ages from Is to 80 are rep
resented in the militia, and all ma
tons except Africa are represented.
AT nine O'clock tonight the agent
of the associated press attempted
to enter the State House to inter
view Gov. Packard, but was halted by
slchoiis Policemen ana refused admis-
sinn. Gov. Packard and the Legisla-
iature are in the State House, but the
new police have refused to allow pro-
visions to be carried inside, and Gov.
Packard and the Legislature are in a
state of seige. The Republican Legis-
lature had no quorum in either branch
to-day, as some of the members were
outside, and asserted they were afraid
to risk their lives inside. Consequen.
tly no action was taken towards the
election of United States Senator'S
All kinds of sensational rumors are
afloat tonight; notably one that the
State House IL to be attacked. On
this subject prominent Democrat
stated that the plan of the Democrats
was to have the Supreme Court enjoin
Packard from usurping the functions
Of Governor, and In the event of his
refusing, to have him arrested for
contempt.

The Electoral Count.

A Washington special to the Chicago
Journal dated on the 9Th inst, says:
There has been much speculation as
to what course acting Vice President
Ferry will pursue on the second We'd
nesday in February, in regard to
counting the electoral votes, and many
wild and perfectly absurd theories
have been advanced. The following
comes to your CORE spondent from a
perfectly reliable source, and may lie
regarded As semi-official: First, il the
Senate and House agree as to the
course to be pursued, Mr.. Ferry will
act strictly in accordance with such
agreement. Second, if no agreement
il reached by the second Wednesday
in February, Mr.. Ferry will proceed
to open and count the votes of all the
States excepting those from Oregon
Louisiana, South Carolina, and Flori,
da. Third, the question of counting
the votes of the ioar above-nam ed
States will he submitted bv Mr.. Ferry
to the two branches of Congress. II
they agree that the Republican or
Democratic certificates from one or all
the States shall be counted or rejected
Mr.. Ferry will abide by such decision,
and act in accordance Herewith in
counting or rejecting the certificates.
Fourth, if by the Sd OF March concur.

Is not had i'm regard to the four States
named, Mr.. Ferry will proceed toe count
the votes of said States, and TO declare
the result Mr.. Ferry will not attempt

decide which are theproper certificates
from the States of Oregon, Louisiana
Senate and House fail TO agree; but In
Florida and South Carolina, unless the
this event, ne will proceed to act in

The committee on Privileges and
Elections wrung from Cronin the con.
fession that he received 3d. 600 for his
share in the Oregon infamy, the mon
ey having been paid him by the
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee. 1t was ascertain.
ed that on December 9Th New York
banking house sent 5000 to the Ore
gon bankers through whose house
Cronin was paid. That brought the
matter to the vicinity of Mr. Tilden;
and there fora time the wheels OF
knowledge were blocked. 1t seems
that the New York banking house
consists of two partners-one Demo-
crat, the other Republican. The
latter did not know where the money
came from. Til, other refused to tell;
but the committee having got at the
facts in another way, he confirmed IT
by acknowledging that it was paid TO
him by Colonel J. w. Pelton, Til
denis nephew, the chief of his Litera-
~ Bureau, his most confide ~ Al
agent, aud the Secretary of the Dss,ta-
cratic National Committee.
This is bringing the bribery terribly
close to "that bar'l, land If a clean vim
dication is not at once forthcoming
1t will be difficult to prevent the pub
lie from believing many of the current
rumors in regard to Mr.. Tilden's un
scrupulous use Of money to advance
his Presidential ambition. The no.
torous purchase Of his nomination At
st. Louis has been followed by the
persistent and liberal use of a cor
ruption fund, fitly concluding with
this equally desperate and indecent At
tempt to buy an electoral vote OUT
right.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, whose years
and whose millions had together adj
vanced to IS, died at his home in New
York last Thursday morning. Hi,
death has long been expected, ano
makes no noticeable effect upon thu
vast financial interests which he con.
trolled. Commodore Vanderbilt made
his own way in the world from being
captain and crew of a sailboat at six
teen, to the greatest controlling inter.
est in transportation companies, both
by land aud water, ever held by one
man. His rugged character presented
many admirable traits-one of them
exemplified when all his influence was
turned in 81 to thesunport ofthe govern
ment, which he presented with new
steamship worth 100000.
At his funeral service on Sabbath,
the officiating ID. ID. stated that he
had promised the deceased that few
words should be said over his coffiI
and no reference at all made to any
virtues which he might be sup
posed to have had.

One or two pieces ofcvidence We're
brought before Sam. Cox's committee
in New York. Figures were introduc-
ed to prove that in the first seven
wards, which are decreasing in popu-
lation, the vote was increased 50 per
cent. in single year, and that the
registration in some of the adjacent
wards was enormously out of proper
ton TO the number OF actual voters.
The evidence struck Mr.. Cox as so Pc
euliar that he Immediately adjourned
the committee to meet in Philadelphia
on the 18th of January. More of the
same kind Of facts were waiting for a
hearing.

Inauguration day passed off at New
Orleans, Mon lay, without bloodshed.
The efficiency of the police, armed
with rifles, prevented the repetition
of the slaughter of 1874. While Gov
ernor Packard was being indicted in
to Office by Chief Justice Labelling,
his defeated rival, Nichols, was go
ing through the mockery of an inaug-
uration half mile away. The oatil
of office was administered to him by /.
man who had been Judge, but whose
former court has long been abolished
and who had no more authority to ad
minister an oath than any other pri
waite citizen. No bona .tide Judg,
could be found, it is said, to officiate a
the solemn farce. While as yet, M
collision has occurred, there is great
excitement and serious trouble il
possible at almost any moment.

Four Victims Ofthe Brooklyn
Fire.

Ii was only on Friday last that Mr..
Charles Halpil !, of Stanford, received
letter informing him of the death of
three near relatives in the Brooklyn
fire. He saw their names Mcclellan
in the published list of the dead, but as
the family lived in New York, and
very rarely went to Brooklyn, he did
not suppose for moment they were
his relatives. 1t appears, however,
that one Of them, young lady of 90,
had an sdmirer living in Brooklyn,
and he purchased tickets for the
young lady, her mother and her two
brothers, and invited the whole party
to accompany him over to Brooklyn
TO see the 1.-TWO Orphans" One Of
the brothers, being delayed at his work
down town, did not get home in time
to accompany the Others. They left
his ticket for him, but it was 50 late
by the time he was ready to go, that
he reluctantly resolved not to 20 ut all.
The rest Of the party-mother, son,
daughter and her lover-went, and all
were lost, the bodies Of all but one
being burned beyond recognition. -

one cent per pound difference in price.
The fact is the people have been so re-
formed they will not eat full cream

hard to sell genuine article of food.
