MIR. Herring's Birthday Speech

The Wing of the 9th contains report of
the birthday speech of Hon. Philander Her.
ring, OF Rockingham, in the Legislature, on
the 9th. The effect of the remarks of Mr.. Her
ring was shown in the unanimous passage OF
the bill introduced, to grant the privilege
OF changing the gauge of the Washington,
Cincinnati and St. Louis Narrow Gauge
Railroad to standard gauge. Mr.. Herring
is one OF the most popular and influential
members OF the Legislature, and withal,
modest and conscientious in everything he
says and does. Mr.. Giddings was not aware,
we presume, that the member from Rock
ingham is widower, or he would not have
put to him the hard question he did, and
which Mr.. Herring answered promptly and
without evasion,
"Mr. Speakers-I rise.to question: if not of
high privilege, yet one of high character. 1t
has always been usual upon the birthday of
great men to celebrate the event. 1t has been
usually the custom to have festival and gather
The old and young together; the children were
given holiday, and all old animosities were
cast aside and discords were settled We
celebrate the birthday of our Saviour. and set
day apart for that, and we celebrate the birth
day of many great men. This morning come
before this House on my own birthday, though
am not great man, and hope the House
will lay aside all differences they may have had
and all bitter feelings, though don't know that
we have had any for we have all gotten along
very well together say hope you will lay
1t all aside and you will come here and cele-
brate my birthday; and / will tell you how
you can do it: That is by suseending the ru,>,s
and taking up bill No. ISL to allow tba Wash
i!ngton Cincinnati and st, Louis road to chang,
Tvs guass rom narrow ttIo standard"
-, ar Herrlng's remarks provoked consider
aaie laughiSSr, and tickled the House so tina
ho' member on the floor made any objection
and the bill was ordered to its engrossment
Mr.. Giddings said the gentleman had faile
to state his age.
MIR. Herring replying, said 81 am three
score and four" Renewed laughter.

The Planets in ApriI

The astronomical editor of the Providence
Journal furnishes the following summary of
the planetary movements for April:
1.-The April moon fulls on the 4th, She holds
the most honorable position on the yearly list,
being the first full moon that occurs after the
vernal equinox and thus detern inlng the time
when Easter Sunday shall fall, and ruling con
5sequently the movable fasts and feast of the
church, The new moon of the 18th COM
mences her course with brilliant record. On
the 18th, one day after her change, she is in
conjunction with three planets-Ve Venus Saturn
and Neptune-on the same evening. 1t is DIFF
ficult to see so young moon, for the crescent
is but slender thread; but it is possible II
the evening be exceptionally clear, the crescent
will be found about two degrees north of Venus,
and three and half degrees north of Saturn,
! The most beautiful exhibition Of the month
and one that will be plainly visible, will occur
ON the 10th, when the two-days' old crescent
will be very near Jupiter, passing ferty min.
utes ola degree north Of MIN. Moon snG
planet Will be above the horizon till after nine
O'clock and the celestial picture will be fair te
/ see.
"A season Of planetary activity after lon
lull is commencing. Coninnctions of planet
with each other, with the sun and with tn
moon, will now be frequent on the dial plat
that marks the restless movements of the SUI
and his family of worlds. The moon rank
first among the actors on the April sky, for sh
pays her respects to three planets-Venu
Saturn and Neptune the same evening
and will charm every beholder as she hang
her bright crescent near the brighter Jupite
on another occasion. Venus commences he
charming role by passing near Saturn and NeI
tune. Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter cluste
, closely pear the sun, and six planets play tt
role Of evening stars. But the noteworth
feature of the month is the grand combinatio
Of planets IN the sign Taurus, for Jupiter, Sa
urn Neptune, Venus and the moon are all foun
, there together during portion of the mont
The meeting OF SO many celestial dignitari
E toreshadows events OF unusual interest, an
students of the heavens will not lack emp]o,
ment if they follow the track of these wande
ers among the stars"

PROHIBITION LAWS. = On Sunday night
last, Rev. VIM. E. Baker preached a strong
and forcible sermon, in the First Presbyterian
church, on the subject of legislation with ref
erence to the whskey traffic He eloquently
and ably advocated the adoption of prohlbito-
ry laws, and claimed that the practice of lcens-
ing saloon and liquor houses was wrong in
principle, in that it legalized crime, against
which the whole power of legal authority
should be directed. 1t was not to be supposed
that intemperance could be entirely eradicated
by legislation. The stringent laws against
robbery, arson, murder and other crimes, are
not sufficient to prevent them being commit
ted, but they do exercise a wholesome effect
upon rong-doers, and brand with the stigma
OF disgrace those who are guilty oftheir trans
erosion. The law, in theory, has no liberation
for common criminals and lift were proposed to
open primary schools for the education of
young rogues in the mysteries of their art every
good citizen would rise up in his wrath, and
no effort would be left unemployed to crush Out
the proposition at its very inception. And yet
under the sanction and solemn protection of the
law, liquor saloons infest every community o
the State, enticing the young by glttering attrac
tions and preparing them for adopts work IL
the worse class of Grim inal practice, for there
is no crime to which whiskey will not lead i'll
victims.
In reply to the objection to prohibition, on
the score of revenue the sneaker adduced sta.
tistics to prove that in Pennsylvania it had
Oeen accurately ascertalned that the cost OF
crime and pauperism resulting from the salt
of intoxicants was five times as great as the
amount of revenue received from taxation o.
spirituous liquors.
The sermon was an able and exhaustive
presentation of the wisdom and justice of tenn
perance, and riveted the profound attention o
the congregation throughout its delivery

The simultaneous celebration of the Jewish
Passover and the Christian Easter has given
occasion, as was feared, for renewed outrages
against the Hebrews IN Southern Russia and
Poland. Extraordinary precautions have been
taken to check the outbreaks, but the preiu-
dice of race and religion have broken ali bar
riers and atrocities which rival those of the pc
troleuses are again rousing the indignation Of
the civilized world. The Russian Government
cannot protect its highest officers from the
fanatical Nihilists, who are OF comparatively
limited numbers, and can scarcely be expected
to deal satisfactorily with the anti-Jewish ag-
ilation which enlists the bitterest prejudlces of
the entire dominant Slavonic element OF the
country. The reliefmeasures organized in Eng
land are already doing immense good. over
twelve hundred refugees were registered last
week on the frontier OF Austrian Galicia, whence
Mr. Lawrence Olirhant, the representative OF
the Mansion House committee, will start them
for Palestine, as permanent colonists. The
committee already has over three hundred
thousand dollars AT its disposal and the fund is
constantly growing. so that the extent OF its
charities Will be enormous.

A SUGGESTION TO ROAD SURvEYoRs.-Mr.
W II. Bailey, surveyor of the southern end of
the New Hope road, has adopted an easy and
excellent mode of repairing the damage done
to his road during the wet weather of the
winter The continued running of wheels in
the same track cut deep ruts. When the road
dried up. these ruts were SO deep that it was
almost impossible to get the wheels out OF
them, especially when the mud on the side
had baked hard. During the dry weather of
last week Mr.. Bailey put one or two hands on
the road, and, with picks, they filled the ruts
throughout his entire precinct, with the dry
mud which had been thrown up on the sides
In this way the road was leyeled with little
trouble, and in a very short time the vehicles
passed over the ruts without the slightest in
convenience. Every surveyor in the county
could well employ two or three hands in doing
this work. The outlay is small, and about the
most iudcious that could be made.

DEATH OF DR.. VIM. H. P1LsoN.-At his
home in New Hope, on Monday last, DIR, W.
Fl. Pilson died, after lingering illness Of con.
sumption, aged SS years, He was son OF
Matthew Pilson, Esq, and man of sterling
character, and talents of high order. As a
physician he greatly endeared himself to the
people ofhis community, not only by his skill
in the profession, but by his kindness of heart
and gentleness of disposition. He had built
up one of the largest medical practices In the
State, and the wide popularity be enioyed as
man, a pure christian, and exemplary citizen
was evidenced by the large concourse
which attended his funeral. Several wears
ago Dr., PilsSn married Miss Lucy H, Stout
daughter of the late Jas. NJ. Stout, ESQ His wifi,
and one little child survive him. The funera
took place from the Augusta Church ON Tues
day last, the following gentlemen acting a

A SINGULAR AND HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE
We understand that little son of Mr.. David
McFall, living in Mr.. Crawford, had his arm
terribly mutilated by hog on Saturday last.
He was playing with a companion near the
pen, and in thrustng stick between the
planks, ran his arm through almost to the ell
bow, where it became so wedged in and fasten-
ed that it was impossible for him to withdraw
it. His companion ran to the house for asss-
lance, and in the meantime the hogs COM
menced to lascerate the arm. Before the little
fellow was rescued the flesh and muscles had
been torn from the bone and consumed, Am
putation of the injured limb is said to be tbs
only hope of saving the boys life

SMALL POX The colored man Lying on
the Spring Hill road, whose sickness from
small pox we noticed last week, has since died.
1t was reported yesterday evening that two
of the dead mans children now have the dis
ease. The whole family were crowded to-
gether in little house supplied with no COM
forts, and the spread of the contagion was in
evitable. Had the father of the family, when
first attacked, been moved to some isolated
building, and received the attention of SIX i'll,
fui nurse, there would have been no danger Of
the disease spreading, This the county au-
thorities should have done at once, but we
suppose their want of promptness was due to
the fact that the supervisors reside in remote
sections Of the county, and could not be got
ten together easily. They have had ample
time for action now, and should act promptly
not only in furnishing skilful nurses to these
afflicted ones but in supplying them with every
comfort possible,
There is but one case Of small pox in the city
that of Miss Shields, who lives IN the western
outskirts.
The case Of Mr.. FUR, three miles east o
town is improving.
