The following 10 a curiosity in the way
Of congressional bill. 1t Was introduced
in the house of representatives on the 18th
inst, by Delegate Downey, Of Wyoming:
A bill providing for certain paintings on the
walls Of the national capitol.
WHEREAS the people ofthe United States
are q christian people and firmly believe in
God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven
and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only
Son our Lord; who was conceived BY the
Holy Ghost born of the Virgin Mary !; suf.
fered under Pontius Pilate, wa cruci6ed,
dead and buried he descended into hell,
the third day he rose from the dead he q.
cended into heaven, and sitteth on the right
hand of God the Father Almighty ; from
thence he shall come to judge the quick and
dead and believe in the Holy Ghost, the
holy Catholic church, the communion Of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrec.
ton of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen: Therefore
Be It eaacted By the Senate and House Of
Representatives efthe United States Of Amer-
tea in Congress assembled. That the sum of
five hundred thousand dollars, or % much
thereof % may be necessary. be, and the

Gazing in of Tunnel.

New York, July 21.-At 5 o'clock this
morning caisson leading to the en-
trance Of the Hudson river tunnel con-
structing at 9th street, Jersey, City,
caved in and carrying with it an i'm
mense quantity Of earth. Twenty-one
men were buried. Seven men were soon
after taken out, bruised but not seriously
and rescuers were laboring hard to reach
the remaining fourteen. Meanwhile wa
ter from the river flowed in rapidly and a
steam fire engine was set to work to
save those who might still be alive
from drowning. The workmen resided at
the vicinity Of the tunnel, and a very
large and excited crowd of persons soon
congregated. Most OF the men were en-
ployed at the bottom shaft. About one
third of the gang was engaged on the
brick wall of the arch twenty-five feet
higher. It was the latter squad, all brick
layers, that escaped except two. The
main arch of the tunnel runs out from
the shaft a distance of about thirty feet,
when it opens into two distinct arches
that are to form the tunnel. Through
some negligence of the men it is suppos-
ed the air lock was not properly adjusted
when the process Of shifting commenced,
and the brick wall connecting the two
arches gave way and the water rushed
into the cave. A later dispatch says that
twenty-five out of the thirty men at work
in the tunnel were killed.

up RIVER ITEMS.

A gentleman recently from the Hills,
and who was a passenger on the Fon-
tenelle from Pierre, furnished the Sioux
City Journal with the following items of
news:
Quite o number of parties who have
been freighting between Pierre and
Deadwood with mule teams were passen-
freight is down to $1.75 and OK freight
have to pay for grain there is no margin
left.
A large number of teams were at
supplied from the eareoes Of % the Fon. NJ
tenelle, Meade, Peninah and Niobrara.
Geo. Harris residence ut Fort Pierre
was entered by burglars on fourth of
July night, but George sleeps with one
near gathering them in.
It Is nothing unusual to hear from
twenty to fifty pistol shots each evening
at Fort Pierre. The prospect now is
that squad of soldiers will be sent
there to preserve peace. It is said that
great deal of whisky is brought over
AOAAA tAO OVnCA 6AuO VI Ullo I1NcI, ulu
much drunkenness prevails.
Gov. Ordway and Maj. Sharpe and
party left Fort Pierre on Saturday last
at 10 a. M, for Fort Meade and Dead
wood.
A heavy rain has visited the country
between the foothills and Mitchell creek
and all the streams are flowing with
fresh water, and the heart Of the
freighter is consequently happy.
The irish surveying party of the
Northwestern railroad are in camp at
Medicine creek, fifteen miles below Fort
Pierre, awaiting orders.
The Deadwood market is said to be
overstocked with butter and eggs from
the states. It is estimated that $4,000
pounds of butter and 1900 cases of eggs
are in store there, and prices are ruling
exceedingly low.
By the misappropriation of the funds
of the Black Hills placer mining COM
pany by one West, the superintendent,
four hundred men are thrown, Temporal
rily at least, out of their pay, which will
cause much distress. The purchase of
too much finery for lewd women, is said
to be the princi pal cause of the shortage.
