4 Christmas Prophecy.

As Christmas comes on Thursday thi
year, the Virginia Chronicle publishe
the following from an ancient manu-
script in the British Museum:
Ii Xmas Day on Thursday be,
A windy Winter We shall see;
Windy weather ir each week,
And hard tempess, strong and thick;
The Summer shall be good and dry;
Corn and beasts shall multiply;
That year is good for lands to tiliy
Kings and princes shall die by si2i;
II child born that day shall be,
1t shall happen right well tor he;
o. deeds he shall be good and stable,
Wise of speech and reasonable.
Whose that day goes thieving about
He shall be punished, without doubt;
And If sickness that day betide,
1t shall quickly from thee glide.

The Death ssaie

OF cur country is getting to be fearfully
alarming, the average of life being less
ened every year, without any reason
able. cause, death resulting generally
from the most insignificant origin. At
this season OF the year, especially, a
cold is such common thing that in the
hurry of everyday life We are apt to
overlook the dangers attending it, and
often find too late that a fever or lung
trouble has already set in. Thousands
lose their lives in this way every win
ter, W lille had BoscHEEs GERMAN SYRUP
been taken, cure would have resulted
and large bin from doctor been
avoided. For all diseases of the throat
and lungs, BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
has proven itself to be the greatest dis
covery of its kind in medicine. Every
druggist in this country will tell you
of it's wonderful effect. Over $4,000
bottles sold last year without a single
failure known.

BRIBERY A little bird few into this
Office yesterday, carrying with it the intelli-
gence that the present Grand Jury are going
to make some of the dry bones of the late
Legislature rattle with noise resembling
the roll of thunder. The air is full of charges
of accepting brides by certain members of the
late body of law makers. We are advised
that this is no idle rumor, but that the mat
ter will be thoroughly sifted. Then, woe
unto the wretches who have bartered their |
honor for coin, and who forever have lost the |
respect of their fellow men; even that of their |
masters! 1t is stated that everybody who |
is supposed to know anything about this al |
legged dirty business has been or will be called |
before the Grand Jury to testify under oath.

A Mexican Muss.

City of Mexico, June 30.-On the
Goth, part of the crew of the Mexican
war steamer Libertad at Vera Cruz
mutinied and seized the steamer while
the commander was- on shore. Stimuli
taneously some of the officers of the
Vera Cruz garrison attempted to raise
a revolt. Nine Of the rebels were
killed The Libertad went to sea and
other steamers went in pursuit.
While the government has apparently
mastered the situation, since the revolt
of the garrison reign of terror has
prevailed. All the merchants are hos
tile to the government in consequence
of the passage of law against CONTRA
band trade, and they have ever since
been in state of quasi revolt. 1t is
generally believed that the nine revolt
ers killed were assassinated in the
guard house on the pretext that they
attempted to escape.
The resignation of Zamacona, the
Mexican minister to the. United States,
is officially denied.
