River and Harbor bill, providing large
sum for the Improvement of water ways.

power in any subsequent Congress to re-
verse that declaration, nor can any such
power be exercised by the courts of the

Congress can create under the Constitu-

A Terrible Affair.

NE Lewiston journal gives particulars
VT the biting ut little bow bV a dog. in
that city. 1t ii late hour "Wednesday at
tcrnoou. Rev. Father Wallace was driv-
IN along the river road. about mile be-
low The city, when he heard loud screams
from the TANK Of the river, twenty feet
distant. ON the river bank he found Il
large du- 1crocously attacking a small
naked boy. Some men who were hoeing
in an adjacent field came to the spot at
the same time Father Wallace attacked
the dog and drove him from the child.
lie then made a spring for another little
fellow near by and biz him 1t was with
considerable difficulty that the dog was
driven away by the efforts of Father
Wallace and the men who came to the
scene, one nt whom owned the brute.
The little fellow was found to be terribly
| bitten. having eighteen wounds all over
his body and legs The dog had literally
eaten large piece OF liesh out under the
lads arm and his ribs could be seen.
Large pieces had been bitten out of
other parts Of his body. There were
TOUR boys in bathing when the brute at
tackled them. Two of them ran away
from him, but the other two were too
frightened to run. They We're each about
seven years old, The boy worst bitten
is son Of Mr.. Patrick Eagan Father
Wallace wrapped him in a blanket and
carried him home. He is in a very low
condition. The other lad was not bitten
severely. The brute that made meal
Of the little ones flesh was killed at once.
He was large bull dog of a very savage
disposition, and was owned by John Sui
llvan. The little fellows mind is wan
dering, and in agony he still calls people
to take the dog away from him.
The defeat Of the Senate blu providing
for the reception of greenbacks at par for
duties, by the opposition of the House
Greenbackers led by Ewing, shows the
want of sincerity Of the men who have
been denOuncing the government for ''dis-
honorlng the greenback. 50 long as
greenbacks were 50 much deprecated,
the reception of greenbacks for duties
would have cut down the custom receipts
and obliged the government to pay
large premium for coin to use in paving
interest. But now when the greenback
is likely to 'be at par by Oct, and the
Senate consents to authorize its reception
for duties, the Greenback House refuses
to allow it to be done Let it be remem-
bered, therefore, that the Greenbackers
are themselves responsible for the defeat
OF bill to receive greenbacks at par for
duties. Lewiston Journal.
An almost miraculous escape from death,
by two girls, is reported from Little Falls,

crossed by dam fifteen feet high. Two
little girls, aged nine and fourteen years
respectively, went rowing above the dam
on Tuesday night and were swept over
before crowd of Mortified spectators, but

After term OF nearly seven months

Fifth Congress adjourned, without day,
at o'clock last Thursday morning And
the country drew A long breath Of relief.
There has been an uneasy public feeling
regarding this Congress, a lach OF conf

perhaps the popular djstrust was not VERY
well grounded, Lat It existed nclcrthr-
less. IN this connection, Senator Bayard
is quoted rs saying that this Congress
has done less good and less harm than its
friends and enemies suppose. But surely
