On Wednesday of last week, in response
to the kind invitation Of Mr.. and Mrs Boyer
Of Wcissport, party o. fourteen Nornoitcs
partook ol the hospitality Of the genial Squire
and his cstinoble lady, in the shape Of an
excellent dinner. The party consisted of
Prof Rowland, a. J. Rowland and Miss
Smith Of Porryvillc; Misses Connor and
Mullen Of East Muuch Chunk, Misses TIauk,
Dollcnmnycr aud Rcbcr, Of Lehighton
Misses Rubcr aud Mertz, of Frankinj Miss
cs Nusbauin and Yundt, Of Wcisspprt, and
Misses Stiles and Brodhead Of Packerton.
The dinner was excellent in quality and
served in the best sty lie, attesting most nbund-
antly Mrs. Boycrs ability in the culinary
art. The zest and relish with which the en-
tire party partook Of the sumptuous repast
was not only an endorsement Of its excel
lence but proof rs we'll, Of the lallacy Of
that too prevalent notion that school marms
and schoolmasters are sickly and dyspcptic.
The service Of cdibles was supplemented by
a service Of song in the attractive family

presiding at The piano. While in the midst
Of these festivities the clarion tones Of the
familiar school bell rung the call to duty,
when the party retired to the school-room all

the regal manner in which they contrived
to entertain YE NoRMALITEs.

The foreign news this morning an.
uOnnccs that the Imperial faction have
agreed on Prince Jerome Bonaparte Us
the head fthe dynasty. This too, not
withstanding the will Of the late Prince,
which it seems devised the succession to
Prince Jerome's son, young Victor. This
declaration in favor Of the father rather
than the son was regarded as political
necessity, and while it was not only con.
cured in but advised by Rouher, the
managing man Of the Imperial faction,
Cwho was the head Of the late Emperor's
Cabinet, and one Of his most trusted ad.
viscrs,) yet it is personally 80 distastetul
to him that he chooses to retire from any
further active agency in the work Of re-
storing the Imperial dynasty to power.
The whole scheme really has very little
importance in the eyes Of France or Of the
world. The Republic is a fact not only
accomplished but established. Only yes

r'MEADJoURNMENT OF CONGRESS

The Complete Manner In which the De
mOcracy Have Been Put ON tie Re-
cord.
Both Houses Of Congress adjourned
SiRr die yesterday evening. The purpose
OF the Democrats was TO have rushed
through an adjournment on Monday, but
underthe rules this was impossible in case
Of objection being made to the joint reso-
luton, which objection compelled it to lie
over for one day. Had the Republican
Senators chosen to permit the final ad-
journmGnt resolution to have passed the
Senate OH Monday they would have been
volunteer parties, by waving rules, to an
aljournmenS without having exhausted
every means 20 secure the passage OF the
appropriation bills. The Democrats could
not pass the adjournment resolution, un-
less the Republicans waived the rules.
Mr.. Window, speaking for the Repubii.
cans, did not think it prudent party policy
10 do so. The result showed that his
judgment was justified. The Democrats
first had their attention called to the situa-
ton in the veto message. The President
then Immediately called the attention Of
Congress to the fact that Monday was the
last day OF the. .tiscal year; that no approp-
riations had been made for the Marshals;
that Justice would be obstructed without
the Marshals, and recommending that ap-
preparations be made. The Republicans
ehen in both houses presented bills max
tng appropriations for the Marshals with
ont tho political conditions. Mr.. Win
dom's bill indeed omitted from Its text all
provisions for special Deputy Election
Marshals, which gave an additional
reason why the Democrats should
have approved the bill, but the
Democrats, as party, voted down
the proposition Of the Republicans to ap-
propriate for the Marshals after they had
heard the Presidents second message, and
they rCsolutely announced that it was the
Democratic policy not to make any appro.
pria'ions whatever. More than that, in
the Senate they reattirmed their position
by voting upon the Window bill the re,
stricted features Of the vetoed bill. In the
House, so far as the rulel would allow, the
same thing was accomplished, except that
no opportunity was offered to vote on the
political features Of the vetoed bill.
The issue is thus made up. The Demo
Hrats, on the threshold Of the new fiscal
year, refused the necessary appropriations
by united party vote, and yesterday, b!
the same vote, forced q final adiournmen
Of Congress, leaving avery essential ap
preparation for the maintenance Of tn
Government unprovided for.
