Evening Session.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-At the evening ses-
sion Mr.. Ward offered resolution providing
for a final adjournment on Tuesday next at 4
P. NJ. Agreed to.
Mr.. Atkins, from the conference committee
on the legislative, executive and judicial appro-
the rock on which they had split had been in
regard to the pay Of the Senate employees, and
on this the conferees were directed to YIELD
yeas III, nays 81. The report of the confer
ence committee was then adopted. and the
speaker appointed the same conference COM
mittee.
The House then resumed consideration of the
internal revenue bill. Mr.. Hewitt, of New
York, offered an amendment for the establish
ment of the bonded warehouses for the export
of tobacco. Adopted.
Mr.. Harrison offered an amendment estab-
fishing an income tax ranging from one per
cent. on incomes of over So, 900, up to 10 per
cent. on incomes of $4OO 900.
Points of order were made against the amend
ment, but were ovsrruled by the chair.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
amendment, Mr.. Harrison inquired whether if
! he withdrew the amendment the House would
allow separate vote to be taken on the income
tax bill. (Shouts of regular order; never;l OBJ
| ject to the withdrawal)
After lively discussion and amid much
confusion a vote was taken on the amendment,
and though Harrison encouraged his friends
with exclaiming, up, friends Of the people, y
| it was defeated on a division Sc to l06. The
| yeas and nays were demanded and ordered by
| the Republican side of the House and resulted
| yeas "a, yeas 1879. This cannot be considered
as test vote, as many Democrats who other
wise would have voted for the proposition
voted against it, fearing it would imperil the
passage Of the bill
! Mr.. Burchard moved to strike out the eight
zenith section of the bill, prohibiting the as
sessment of tax upon insolvent banks.
| Pending action and amid great uproar and
confusion the House adjourned.

EAGLEYILLE.

Eds. TeI.-A few struggling robins have
been seen in this nsighborhood within the
last weak. Yesterday the barren boughs
of an adjacent orchard rssoundsd with the
joyful notes Of quite a large flock. II the
instinct Of birds is never mistaken, why
do they run the risk of encountering such
a snow storm as is blowing to-day, and
OfteH even more severe weather?
Is not the writer who criticises the ar
ticle on future punishment that appeared
in your paper not long ago, mistaken as to
the motive that induces believers in Christ
ianity to accept that doctrine as a part of
their creed? One of the principal accusa-
tions of infidels against the Bible is that
it teaches doctrine so repugnant to their
idea of benevolencs. When those who are
shocked at the mention of place so OBJ
noxlous "to ears polite" can give US
good substitute for Christianity, it will be
soon enough to expose all allusion to retri-
butive Justice from our belief Even
Theodore Parker is said to have averred
that he should believe in future punish
ment, if he believed in the inspiration OF
the scriptures. That the idea may have
been made too prominent in some cases is
not an argument against its truth. % Is not
the place dangsrous?" asked Bunyan's Pill
grim of one who sought to entics him from
the Kings highway. " Not very dangerous,
was the reply, except to those that are care
less"-but withal he blushed as he spake,
comments the old dreamer, in parsnthssis.
Your nsighbor of the NetcS in his last
paper moralizes in strain not unworthy
the melancholy Jacques himself. Let us
hope he will not become so bewildOrsd as
to mistake the camp of the enemy for his
own, and end by fratrenizing with the foes
of his country. o.

Eds. TeI.-We have had as many vari-
cites of weather this winter as other locali-
ties. Thus far it has been considered
rather uncommon. The farmers have been
ready for every change and have hauled
logs to Geneva and to the different saw
mills in town and have attended TO the
wood pile. If this mild weather holds on
for another month there must be large

AUSTINBURG,

Eds. TeI.-The church social, last week
that met at the house Of Mr.. Sam Snow,
took the form Of mum society" 1t
was on this wiss-any one who would re
frain from laughing or talking until sup
per time, was entitled to free ticket. A
violation of the rule exposed the unfOr-
tunste offender to fine of ten cents, be-
side the payment of twenty-five cents for
supper. The payment of these fines, was
shown by badge Of blue ribbon, which
gave full immunity afterwards, and they
were at liberty to indulge to their hearts
content. 1t was amusing beyond measure
to see the effort made to get free lunch
by maintaining straight face and and
silent tongue. Very few succeeded. Mr..
George Phelps while going to the sociable,
with his family, had the misfortune to
break down, but all came OF unharIned,
but the buggy was badly damaged.
Landlord Shipman is to have a masked
ball next Tuesday evening-thS 9Th.
Prof. J. Wiswell gave a comic lecture to
the ladies society OF the Institute in the
chapel, short time since. He was masked,
wore gown, long hair, white hat-s garb
intended to represent an ancient philosO-
pher. His subject was Reversed Tone. "
He exhibited specimen of-a man Of the
weight of 200 pounds, while enjoying the
smiles and favor of the fair oneS, but as
soon as these were withheld, he began to
dwarf and shrank away to the Dimensions
Of forty pound, FIVE year old boy. The

Harbor improvements.

The attention of our village readers-its
taxpayers especiaily-is arrested to the
proceedings of ths Council, elsewhere to be
found. A resolution will there be found,
which passed the Council. for petitiOning
the Legislature for the passage Of a
special act authorizing the village to raise
a sum not exceeding 5000, for the pur-
pose of Harbor improvements, to be voted
on at the approaching spring election. As
municipal indebtedness is one Of the crying
ends Of the times. it may be well for those
whe have pscuniary interest in this mat
ter to take it INTO thoughtful consideration,
so that they may be prepared to act in
tslligently and prudenfly-whsn they
shall be called upon to vote upon it.
