Seven Maniac Brothers.

Seven brothers, all raving manisos, en-
route for the Jacksonville, H., Asylum,
passed through St. Louis on Monday.
The commissioner in charge of the luna
tics states that prior to the war a wealthy
farmer, by the name of Arson Arnold,
settled in Hickory county, NO., with a
large family. The requirement of money
seemed to be their highest aim in life
and the whole family of seven sons and
five daughters deprived themselves of
the necessities of life In order to gain il.
About three years ago a stranger Wis
tied their home and after convincing
them that they could in a short time
largely increase their wealth induced

4 Terrible Mine disaster

A terrible explosion occurred last
Thursday morning in one of the
Orrell Coal Company's mines at New
burg, w. Va. Thirty-nine men who
were at work in the mine were instantly
killed. Many of them were prominent
citizens of New5urg. At about 3 O'Clock
rent with a tremendous explosion, the
force of which knocked men down in
the street half a mile away, shattered
windows and doors all over town, and
even crushed the stout sides of frame
houses for long distance around the
mouth of the mines. From the deep
shaft of the colliery dense clouds of
smoke and vapOr rose 200 feet in the
air. A rush was at once made for the
mouth Of the mine, and in moment
hundreds of citizens had congregated
about the shaft.
The theory advanced rs to the cause
of the explosion was that the tire-damp
had accumulated I'm one of the rooms
and was accidentally ignited by min
er's lamp. Foul air so choked the air.
shaft that it was some time before the
mine could be entered. Miners from
Cumberland and Clarksburg soon ar
rived. however. and the work of recov-
ering the mutilated bodies was begun.
The bodies of all of the miners have
been recovered. The female relatives
of the dead men are suffering untold
fortunes, and several are losing their
minds. Mrs. John Byers, whose hus-
band, u son-in-law and three other rela-
tives are among the dead, is insane. and
others are likely to soon be In her sad
condition. The ladies of the town are
divided up into committees, and are do
ing all in their power to comfort the
afflicted, while the male portion of the
inhabitants are laborng about the mine.
The Presbyterian Church has been
thrown open TO these latter AS head
quarters. Many of the families are in
destitute circumstances, aud need mon
ey and the necessaries of life. Many
contributions are being sent in.

WASHINGTON, January 70, 1856.
Editors Register.-The President Was
present last evening at the charity ball
in Baltimore, given in the Academy of
Music. He certainly met there galaxy
of beauty and fashion nowhere to he ex-
celled, and not everywhere equaled.
Doubtless, in due course, Mr.. Cleveland
will find i'm our more Southern cline
and its society much that will engage
his esteem, aud tend To narrow some-
what the distance that has seemed hith-
erto to separate our people from his So
cial regards. He is said to have been
delighted with the cordiality he met OIL
all hands.
The "bone and sinew" represented
by the working classes are much pleased
with the Presidents expressed determi-
nation that the eight hour law, so much
evaded and lodged by "bosses" and
minor officials, of late years, shall be
faithfully executed.
The Omitted States" of Ohio, as she
was wont to be called, is revealing in
the enjoyment Of two State SeEates,
with trimmings to match. IL the war
ring legislators like the sort Of thing
that is going on, it would be thousand
pities to abrldge their qualification. But
Mr.. Sherman will look on and not care
either, so that he comes out uppermost.
We are ali anxIously waiting to see if
Senator Edmunds really intends war on
the President touching the latter's &C
ton in the matter of appointments and
removals. The Democratic Senators
will sustain him in maintaining his full
executive powers under the cOnstitu-
ton, which should not be curtailed by
any mere Congressional enaetments
formed by the Republicans when in
power, so us TO hamper and embarrass
Democratic administration and keep
their own set in the offices, no matter
who is President. Nothing can beat Mr..
Edmunds for ruthless partisanship.
1t is reported that no charges, as al
legged, have been formulated against
Senator Payne in reference to the cir
cumstanoes of his election ia Ohio.
Our latest Dakota news is to the effect
that the huge fuss about admitting that
frigid territory into the Union as State,
grew out of the powerful desire Of
Judge Moody to get into the United
States Senate.
Congress seems disposed to press bill
for the erection of suitable library for
the vast number of books that cucumber
The present Congressional library. Also,
the bridge across the Potomac just above
Georgetown, for which the Senate has
passed bill; and further, for new
city postoffice.
Dorman B. Eaton has taken u second
leave of the Civil Service business. No
body weeps about it.
1t is said that the Pope is greatly dis
pleased with Queen Victoria's late
speech, because she did not advocate a
separate Legislature for Ireland. Per-
haps she thought that Home Rule would
be too nearly Rome Rule.
Greece seems "spoiling for fight"
and a slice of Turkey. The "pOwers"
say, No, and are getting their fleets in
motion.

In short editorial last week in regard
to the question of making the Commits
sioner Of Agriculture Cabinet officer
we INDUCED in some sarcasm which
was intended for the Commissioner but
not for agriculture. We do not under
estimate the Importance and dignity of
agriculture, but we do think the way the
subject is handled in Washington is
more or less of farce. 1t makes our
solid and practical Old farmers laugh
except when they remember the money
squandered-to see the Commissioner
experiments in beet sugar, sorghum
seed, and various other fanciful delu-
sions, to say nothing of the seeds sent
out by the government that never come
up. We doubt IL the Commissioner, or
any of his predecessors, can tell the diff
ference between turnip and cabbage.
THAT enterprising and indefatigable
snowman, P. L. Barnum, has written to
Prof. Baird, inclosing proposition to
establish geological gardens, on the re-
claimed flats of the Potomac, In Wash.
ington, il Congress will grant thirty
acres for that purpose. He offers to
spend SOC, 900 in the project, and to use
the garden as winter quarters for his
menagerie. We believe that this propo-
sition of Barnum's should be thought
fully considered. With the exception
of few Congressman, and half dozen
snakes and an Egyptian mummy at the
Smithsonian, and cockatoo at tie Boz
tanical Gardens, there are no wild
animals in Washington, and conse-
quently no chance to study natural his
tory. A first-class geological garden,
which would naturally grow into an
affair of national importance, would
prove popular not only in Washington,
bnt In the whole country.
