writing from JoncSboro'. gives some further
particulars OF the death in that place last
week Of this eminent divine. He had been
suffering intensely from pain in his head
for several days. and had spoken OF 4 slight
pain in the region OF the heart. He said TO
his wife on the previous night that he did
not cNpcc: 10 hive through the day, bnt as
he WAS no worse than he had been it was
thought that he was only Respondent. His
hrothcr-in-law, Kennedy Blair, had been
with him for two weeks past, but thinking
lie was better. had sent for Il horse to go
home. The Doctor was sitting in an ARM
chair, and Mr.. Blair, seeing that he seemed
70 be suffering. asked him il he did not want
10 lie down. The Doctor was then assisted
to the bed. and seemed to be much weaker
than usual. After Mr.. Blair had assisted
him 10 bed he stepped out OF the room Tor
few moments When he returned the Doc
tor was on his knees by the bedside, and
Mr.. Blair. thinking that he was having a
nervous attack, went to his assistance and
took him in his arms. The Doctor called
his name once, threw his head on Mr..
Blair'S shoulder. and died instantly and
without Il struggle. For n long time the
Doctors nervous system has been shattered,
and he has been unable to undertake any
work. While he has been in very bad
health. his death WAS entirely unexpected,
and was 4 great shock to the community.
His life was insured in the Penn LiIc-ln-
eurancc Company, OF Philadelphia, Pa, for

LONDON, October 2S.-A Paris dispatch
says that Rouhcr has had an attack OF apo
pIexy, but is now nearly we'll again.
The trdncuise, the Duke de Broglie's Or
gan, stated yesterday that the Ministers
were prepared TO meet the Chambers and
defend their policy, but, at the same time.
were ready TO resign should President Mac
Mallon think it his duty to summon other
counscllors. The FRANCHISE to-day eN-
plains that this did not mean that President
MacMahon was disposed to capitulate to
the Left.
The Constitutional and Pays, however,
assert that President MacMahon has ac-
ccptcd the resignation Of the Cabinet in prln-
cIple. but has requested the Ministers to re-
tain their post pending his future deci-
sons. The Pays adds: " saturdays coun-
Gil was somewhat excited, President Mac
Mahon declaring that he intended to enter
upon path OF compromise and concilla-
ton. Ministers de Broglie and Fourton
supported this course" ..
PARIS, October 29.-The results OF the

THE ROSTER OF COMMITTEES OF THE FORTY
FIFTH CoNGREsS-BIILS INTR0DCCED-A
PENSION ASKED FOR MRS. CATEsBY JONES,
The New York herald., 1877-11-13
The Russian Cons friction OF Osma MI
Army.


Army.
Like monster boa coiled around it's prey
the Russian army encircles that of Ghazi
Osman, and by a process of construction
not unlike that of it's reptile prototype it
strives to crush the Turks. In strict mill
tary sense the days for strategy have passed
away from Ghazi Osman, and his safety now
depends on the courage and endurance Of his
troops as we'll as on the number of pounds
of beef and -four he can command for their
support If his troops lose heart he
is lost; if the provisions give out
his fate is as certainly sealed. The
escape of the Turks at Plevna from the po-
sition in which they are now corralled
depends almost entirely on the ability OF
their compatriots outside the constructing
Russian lines to break or weaken the
deadly folds. Every day that passes brings
the end nearer and reduces the chances OF
escape for Ghazi Osman's army. Unless
Suleiman Pacha, Mchemet Ali and Rcout
Pacha can make some effort to relieve
Plevna its fall is merely question OF u lew
weeks We hear of rumors from Constanti-
