Mr.. STEyENsoNs bill to provide for
the survey and disposal % nainor"l
lands of the United States was agreed
to by the house committee on mines
and mining. II simply restores the
common law with reference to location
OF mining claims. Under the present
law, when man locates claim he
can follow the lead or vein in whatever
direction 1t may run. The bill provides
that oil mining claims located after the
first day Of September, 1880, shall DO
bounded rs to surface by straight lines,
and all right to minerals contained
therein shall be confined within vertical
planes passing downward through
straight boundary lines. Such mining
claim shall not exceed n square Of 1870
feet on side. II may be any shape 30
that neither length nor breath shall ex-
coed fifteen hundred feet, nor the aegre-
gate area exceed that Of the square
above described. Another important
feature of the bill provides that all fl.
tre occupation, location, or purchase
of public mineral lands shall be govern
cd by laws of congress, to the exclusion
Of all local customs and regulations
and state or territorial laws. Other
portions of the bill relate to minutim in
regard to survey and location of min

tho Nihiists TO penetrate into the Win
ter Palace il the following: Gen.
Gourko, when Governor Of 81. Peters
burg, had the right of entering ut any
time into the Emperor'H room without
being announced. Once, however, the
doorkeeper, seeing something unusual
about his appearance, stopped him say
ing that IL would bo necessary to inform
the Emperor OF his arrival. The Cen
eral objected Mt first, but, finding that
the doorkeeper only grew more sus-
picious, ultimately agreed to his being
announced. The doorkeeper then told
the Emperor Of his doubts; upon which
the latter went to writing table in his
room, which WAS connected by tele-
graph with Gen. Gourko's residence,
and telegraphed, "Where Is Gourko2"
"At home," was the reply. This, of
course, settled tho point; the false
Gourko was Mt once arrested, and turn

ity, they are all symptoms caused by some
uterine disorder; and while they are thus
only able perhaps TO palhate for time,
they are ignorant Of the cause, and encour-
age their practice until large bills are
made, when the suffering patients are no
better in the end, but probably worse for
the delay, treatment, and other compiled

directed to the cause would have entirely
removed, thereby institutlng health and

The Teachers Institute held at Ravenna du-

| held in the County.
About one hundred and twenty teachers at

satisfied with the work done.
Snpt. Findley's work on PedagOgics was well
received. and we feel confident that those who
| attended have better methods of discipline
more teaching power, and greater love for the
work than ever before The zeal and enthusi-
asm which he manifests is fitting type for
every teacher.
W. ID. Henkle gave himself into the hands of

and the most intricate and complicated ques-
tions Of grammar. arithmetic. &c, were unrav-
eled and developed by him. He took pleasure
in being questioned, and always had All ans wer
ready.
A fine feature OF the Institute was the instruc-
tion i'll elOcuton and reading given by Miss
Jennie Greene, of Alfred. N. Y. Her exercises
in vocal gymnastics were something novel to a
majority of our teachers. and i'm pressed us with
the fact that we are behind the East in the cul-
tivatiOn OF that art.
She also had private class in reading. the
members of which expressed themselves as
well satisfied with the instruction, and their
co oldolence that 1t could not continue longer.
BY her faithful. earnest work and pleasant
manner, she has won the admiration OF q host

The Attraction that Wins.

The most attractive ladies, noted for
personal beauty, are those who have
charming, white, clear compilations,
skin soft as velvet, free from all un-
slightly blemishes, cheeks blooming
with the roseate hue of perfect health.
Every lady, young or old, can possess
all these desirable charms by applying
Duprce's "Oil of Beauty" which is
used everywhere by the elite of refined
society. 1t is not an injurious paint or
powder, neither all artificial "bloom"
or balm," to fill up the pores and dis
ease the skin, but n clear, fragrant
liquid, healthful as pure water, perma-
nently renewing sallowness, black
heads, tan, &c, preventing chapping,
and makes the skin supremely beauti-
fui. Sold by Seymour IL Go.

/ A TERRIBLE tragedy occurred on
Wednesday morning, near North BEN
ton. VIM. Wharton, an old and high
ly esteemed citizen, in fit of insanity,
il is supposed, attacked his daughie er-
in law with an AK, as she was bending
over the wash-tub, splitting her skull,
and giving her other gashes and bruis-
es about the head. The unfortunate
woman, at last accounts, was still alive,
but no hopes are entertained of her
recovery. Mr.. Wharton was at one
time q wealthy citizen of Benton, and
q wide awake business man. A few
years since he met with some heavy
financial losses, and the death of his
wife, some months ago, it is thought
has unsettled his mind. After the
death of Mrs. Wharton, his son moved
into the house, and the old gentleman
was residing with them. He will be
taken to the insane asylum, at New
burgh, as soon as the formula Of the
law can be complied with. II Alliance
