The bill reported by Mr.. Coffroth, o.

a pension to George'W. Teter is accompa.
MED by report as follows:
George W. Teter was enrolled as pri

West Virginia Volunteers, on the 9th day
Of March, 1854, having enlisted In said
organization on 25th OF February pre-
ceding, and was honorably discharged

red to the Tenth Regiment West Virginia
Volunteers.
Teter alleges that in February, 1865,
while in line OF duty, procuring wood for
the command, he was ruptured, and now
is disabled by reason OF hernia, he having
been perfectly sound when enlisted. To
support his claim he adduces the testimo-
ny OF DR.. Ramsey and four OF his neigh.
bors, who state that prior 10 his military
service he was a sound man, and that
since his return from the army he has
been disabled and complains OF hernia.
SApts " bs OS6tGl CGl ttuCo blht ITO Cutl-

longed, and he further states that Teter
was an excellent soldier, and was on the
9th February, ruptured while in line OF
duty, procuring wood for the command,
and was sent TO convalescent camp by
order Of the surgeon OF the regiment.
L. F. Pegatt, second lieutenant OF claim

Teter was injured in some way while on

seen in Australia with Tail 20 Degrees
In Length, bat n Faint Aueleus.
From the Melbourne Angus.
The comet mentioned in last summary
as having been seen for the first time on
February g has passed out Of view Ito the
naked eye). During the time the tail was
at It's brightest stage the evening sky was
usually hazy, owing to the prevalence Of
southeast winds, which, in the latitude OF
Melbourne, are accompanied by haze at
this time Of the year. While, therefore,
the tail Of the comet, which formed an
angle Of 50 degrees with the horizon,
could be distinctly seen, the nucleus was
always hidden behind q low cloud.bank,
DR.. Bone, an amateur observer at Castle
maine, where the air was clearer, was able
to FIX the place OF the nucleus some days
before any data could be obtained at the
Melbourne Observatory. When first seen
the tail OF the comet appeared as bright
streak, twenty-five degrees in length.
Each succeeding night the tail grew long
or, but at the same tune fainter, until in
about ten days II faded out OF sight.
Measures were taken Of the nucleus oil
the OH, 10th, and 18th, at the 0bserya-
tory, from which the following notes have
been received: approximate positions:
February 0, P. M.-Right ascension, %
hours ii minutes l4.5 seconds; declina-
ton, SO hours 43 minutes 50 seconds south.
February 10, 9P. M.-Rlght ascension, 20
hours 5S minutes2S seconds; declination,
SO hours Al minutes IS seconds south.
February IA, 8 P. M.-Right ascension, l
hour 9 minutes Is 8 seconds; declination,
SO hours 81 minutes Z seconds south.
These observations, combined with those
secured the week before, afforded the
means Of deducing a rough approxima-
ton OF It's apparent motion, and there 10
no doubt now that 1t has passed its peri.
helion and Is rapidly receding from US.
The nucleus on the 10Th was exceedingly
faint; still with good telescope the tail
could be traced for some distance from 1t,
On the 18th It was still fainter, and even
with the great telescope the tail could
only be seen as q thin wisp extending
eastward from the head for a couple Of
degrees. Tho head itself appeared simply
as faint nebulous mass, with q slight
central condensation. 1t is impossible TO
say whether this comet is new one OF
one which has been seen at former peri
helion passage until the elements Of itt
orbits have been computed, and for that
purpose further measures OF It's position
are necessary"

Tho Nail Mills Agree to Stop Two
Weeks More.
1t will be seen by telegram elsewhere
that the Nail Association met at Pittsburgh
yesterday and agreed to continue the sus.
pension ofthe mills two weeks longer, and
keep the card as before at S. 25 rates.
There was a large attendance at the
meeting, and the feeling was, after com.
pairing notes, that it WIS the part OF wis.
dom for the manufacturers to adhere 10
the policy begun month ago. The be.
lief prevails that to put down the card and
start the mills would precipitate a de-
moralizalion upon the market, mas.
much as there is no such demand
yet indicated Us would carry of the nails
as fast as made. The stocks in the hands
of the large trade are yet considerable,
and the small trade are buying sparingly,
under tho apprehension oil decline.
Only a further suspension Of produc.
ton will give them coniidencein anything
like firmness in the market this spring.
As soon as they understand that the mills
are not stocked up with nails, and not ne
ccssitated 10 work up their raw material
on hand, they will begin to buy. 1t will
be singular season, especially after two
such prosperous years as they have had
in the West, ii large amount OF nails arc
not wanted. The demand is bound to
come, and it will come all the sooner and
more vigorously on account Of the policy
Of stopping.

that the style Of worship adopted recently

"the partial use of the English hymns
