the recent massacre of the Roval family
,of Bnrmah by order Of the King:
A council was held by the King and

scene Of slaughter. 1t being, however,
tonnd inconvenient to get through the

Too Mach Whiskey-TO0 Much
Water

one morning last week some water
men, who usually occupy their little
boats at Fourth street wharf al light,
were alarmed at hearing a terrible
splash in the water as if som" person
had fallen overheard The splash was
followed by some snOrting and h'"' - z
and smDth-r.d calls for help, which
happily was at Hand. Not kn"wImI
8hether the animal was amphibious III
it, nature or whether it belonged to
those which walked the terrestrial
spherp, or whether it was a
cross between the two, the watermen
proceeded carefully, and when the OBJ
iect was raised two or three feet above
the water they knew by the smell Of
whiskey that it belonged to the upper
surface. Winding him up carefully
until a little more than six feet were
coiled on the wharf he was gathered up
and taken to the police office, but his
name never appeared III the published
,eports of the following evening, and
neither will it appear in this report.
He came down from Philadelphia at
three o'clock in the morning with too
much whiskey beneath his vest and
,traying down to the wharf mentioned ,
he found too much water.

Senator Massey, Of Albermarle rising
to "A personal explanation," read a
paper rejecting upon Senator Smith, of

upon Massey The latter declared that
the speech "ior unrcfnement, lndelica-

anything he had ever heard in the halls
of the Legislatures. Proceeding in this
vituperative vein, Massey was several
times called to order, and before he
ended he was denounced by Smith as
"a liar, a scoundrel and dog.' A
"scpne" followed. and the matter was

him while the others endeavored to cut
Off his retreat by taking an advanta-

when h. saw the movement dropped
the bag and travelled. His legs under
the high pressure under which they
labored. soon carried him beyond all

fitted puraurers returned to the spot
where the bag was laying and upon in
