terestine and profitable discussion wa,
created over a point of order pending
tlfr reconsidering Of tAs' Silver Run
Marsh Company Incorporation vote
The question was rs to whether it r..
quired the same number Of votes to re.
consider as it did to pass the measure
The speaker decided that majority
vote was all that was necessary. The
discussion came upon the appeal from
the chair which WAS taken by Mr.. Hall.
In this discussion, the most animated
that has taken place during the whole
sess ion, nearly all the members took
part. After clear statement upon the
part Of the Speaker his decision waa
sustained by u vote of seventeen to
three.
The discussion, which is noted in to-
days proceedings, pending the consid-
GRAFTON of Mr.. Deans resolution to in
vestigate the slight crookednes' in the
financial affairs of Kent and Sussex
counties, while it lasted, was more than
interesting, it was exciting. Mr.. Hous-
ton grew warm over the term "swindle'
used by Mr. Dean, and in the heat Of
the moment made the statement THAT
as the term came from a man who was
constantly charging upon the officers
of his own county fraud and corrup.
ton, it was not surprising.' This as.
serton grated harshly upon Mr.. Dean $
sensitive feelings, and, he with face
flushed, and fists flying, let the House
in general and Mr.. Houston in par
tcular, know what was bearing upon
his mind. He challenged Mr.. Houston
to "bring out the documents" and de-
lnauded of him to retract the charge.
About the time the on-lookers in the
lobby were expecting an interesting
scene the voice of the Speaker was
heard timely warning.

This morning Mr.. Dean handed in the
memorial to which was appended til"
prayer for an annuity Of $1,000, adop-
ted at the convention held on Tuesday
in the Whatcat church Of this place.
In presenting the resolution MIR. Dean
strongly urged its favorable counsidera-
ton upon the palpable point that all
citizens Of a commonwealth, without re-
gard to position, socially, should be-
educated to the tuIles, limit OF individ-
ual capacity. The assertion made 10y

was sadly negIec'ed' is truth self

Singular End ofa Match.

The successive disablement Of the
various contestants for the London
walking match recalls the somewhat
similar ending of rather singular
match set on foot some years ago by
native Prince of fNorthern India
A bear, q lion, a tiger, q bull and
horse, belonging to one of the Rajah's
mounted guards, were turned into an
Enclosure together and left to fight it
out. Bets were naturally divided as
to the result, butboth the Rajah him
self and his guests were unanimous
in betting against the horse. Tho
moment the animals were to them
selves, the tiger, creeping along the
ground like cat, sprang at the bulls
throat and brought it down.
The next moment the conqueror
fell in his turn before the rush Of the
lion, though not without making
fearful cash in the latter's flank
with his fore paw. The bear and the
lion then met, and the former, lock.
ing his huge paw around the neck of
the enfeebled beast, stiaed him with
one hug. Thus left master Of the

gave all up for lost.
The emotions Of the young girl
were none the less intense. Her face
assumed an ashy hue, her feet SEEM
ed glued to the floor, and her breath
almost stopped as her eye marked
each motion Of her father. AS. he
advanced nearer the corner where
she knew Hastings stood she placed
her hands before her eyes and sank
into a chair.
But discovery did not ensuc. The
hat was found at length, and whom
Hettie raised her eyes she breathed
more freely. Her father stood with

was assuring him that if much more
time was wasted they might as we'll
give up the undertaking.

his strength had in a measure resuni-

generous protectors furnished him
with a suitable disguise, and by
means of the husbands absence were
enabled to assist him a considerable
distance upon his perilous journey.
he encountered many difficulties
and dangers, and felt himself far
from secure until he had passed the
British lines, and knew he had noth-

But he did not forget the maiden
whose prompt action saved his life.

ance terminated in a happy mar
