A strong prejudice sometimes exists
against the eel. In Scotland an Argyeshire

lnents in that communication are utterly

the reason why l desired to make the change,
MIR. Walton never solicited ma to engage

MI. COnrOw, that determined to leave them
at any rate, and on applying to Mr.. Walton
he refused to take me because was In the

ton with Mr.. COnrow was so great that |
made UP my mind that would not stay with
him even at double my former wages, and at
ter had given Mr. COnrOw several days n .
tice to understand that would not stay with
him any longer, Mr.. Walton, at my solicita-

Death of Samuel Mckeever,

Mr. Samuel McKeever, an auger ma
ker who formerly carried on the busi-
ness in this city, but for the past two
years residing at Kennett Square, died
very Suddenly at the later place last
Saturday afternoon. 1t appears that
while Mr.. Mckeever was in the act of
introducing gentleman to Esq. liar
vey, he fell to the pavement and died
in a few moments after. The Deputy
Coroner of Hamorton was sent for, who
held an inquest and gave a verdict
in accordance with the above facts.
Mr.. Mckeever is married man ofabout
55 years Of age. Two of his sons Sam
uel and James learned the printing
business at James & Webbs on Mark
ct street this city. One of the broth
ers entered Browns University in or
der to study for the ministry. The
other brother has charge of church
at Oxford.

Congress

In the L. 5. Senate, on Monday, Mr..
Wallace, from the Committee on Ap.
preparations, reported the joint resolu
ton for the adjournment of the session,
amended to make the date June 25th,
at 5 p. M. MIR. Window objecting, its
consideration was postponed until to
day. After some business OF no gener-
al interest, and the holding of an exec
utive session, the Senate adjourned.
In the House, various bills, including
three for the removal of the duty on
quinine, were introduced. Mr.. Martin,
Of West Virginia, introduced a bill to
re organize the army, and its reading
in full was called for by the Republi-
cans. The reading occupied the re.
mainder OF the morning hour, thus
preventing consideration os the Anti
Political Assessment bill. The Presi-
dents veto of the Judicial Expenses
bill was received and read, and the
question being on the passage of the
bill over the veto, the measure failed
for want of a two-tkirds vote. The
House then adjourned.
