How the Parson Got Excited,

The following story is told Of old Par
son P, who few years ago lived
and preached in the town of F., in
this State lie was nervous, near-sighted
and excitable. One day he had been in
the city with his horse and wagon, and
among his purchases was q barrel OF
-four, the head Of which was partly out
On the way home, the cid man WAS over
taken and passed by young man, driv-
ing horse and putting on many airs.
Now the parsons horse was usually a
quiet, ste.ldy-eoing animal enough, but
he could no; s;snj that sort Of thing, so
lie started of aaer him Of the first order
in good earnest
The ioliing Of the wagon a. length
Jared the bead completely off the barrel,
and the strong wind that was blowing
directly sfter the parsnn blew the -four
ali over him and the horse. At last the
fast Young man was len, and the village
was reached; but the speed Of his horse
was not checked.
In driving through street to reach
his house he came in contact with one Of
his deacons, who was naturally surprised
TO see the minister driving at such a
pace. and signalled him TO stop.
Why, Parson P said he, -'lwhat
on earth is the matter? You seem great
ly excited
Excited r yelled the old man, sex
cited who in hi wouldn't be excited
Snow storm in July Get up, Dobbin,7 r
The deacon smiled, but was silent.

lures, which il is estimated would have
received practically unanimous vote in
the House, and the approval of the coun-

promptly done, there would now be Si2,-

reduction that could have been thus Sc
cured was greater than the reduction
which will be accomplished by this bill.
The majority failed to seize the cppor-

ty. of the majority in the House TO pass
a revenue bill aud reduce taxation. This
iias been its almost unvarying experience
while in control Of the House.
The report states that from 1866 to
1855 the control OF the House has been
equally divided between the political par
ties, each having ii years. During the

WASHINGTON, February 2d-Colonel Tar

next week. He viii unite his efforts with
those of the local committee appointed to
endeavor to persuade the Democratic Ma
tional Commit to select San Francisco
as the place for holding the next Demo
cratic National Convention. The commit
tee will meet here on TIE 22d inst, and if
tlattering offers will induce them to go to a
point as remote from the Atlantic seaboard
as San Francisco, they will accept.
The committee says that $4,000 will be
raised to pay the expenses of the delegates
to and from all points in the United States
to California, and to pay their hotel bills
while the Convention is in session There
are about SOC delegates, and the item of
transportation alone is large one.
To secure the influence of the press, the
committee offers to transport to San Fran
cisco and return free of charge accredited
representatives of Eastern papers to report
the proceedings of the Convention. 1t is
said they will also guarantee excursion
tickets to San Francisco and return for $50,
SO that those who are not delegates will
not be prevented by the expense from at
tending the Convention.

ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
The Disastrous Attempt to ACCOMPLISH 1T
by Force-A Famous Retreat.

by Force-A Famous Retreat.
The present agitation concerning the re-
lations between Canada and the UniteI
States recalls the time when the annexa-
ton of that country was proposed to be
brought about by force of arms. The pro-
iect was intrusted to the brave General
Montgomery, assisted by the famous
patriots, Colonies Ethan Allen and Seth
Warner. While engaged So this invasion
Ethan Allen was taken prisoner by the
British and sent to England, where he ex-
perienced very harsh treatment
1t was Colonel Warner who twice con-
Quoted mis- men safely home, though the
march was constantly surrounded by dan
gers. Once Montgomery sent them home
because their time was out, and though
they were willing to continue in service
| they were without sufficient clothing, and
none could be had in that country,
| Colonel Warner had hardly arrived
| home before he heard that Montgomery
| had been killed, and the cause as well SIS
| the lives of the men were put in great
| Jeopardy. He collected his men again and
at once started for Canada to assist his
| countryplen in their extremity. But bis
efforts we're of no avail, and it was soon
found necessary to take up the line Of re-
treat.
1t was the dead of winter, and only ne
cesSity sanctioned moving the troops. The
terror of pursuit and the rigor of the sea-
son furnished sufficient cause for alarm
and haste. Colonel Warner remained with
the rear of the army, and aided them IN
many ways most eflectually, as he was 8
| man well posted in caring Tor the sick. and
this knowledge now came into excellent
use.
He must keep the army in motion, not {
day must be lost, and yet he was withou
any chest Of medicines. But he understood
the medicinal use Of roots and herbs, anC
of proper care at critical times, and witt
these allies he made an effectual tigh
against disease among his men.
When Ticonderoga was reached and thu
roll called thanks 10 Seth Warner, but few
vacancies in the ranks appeared.
Colonel Warner saved the lives of hun
dreds of men in this way, and he did
noble work, but it remained for his name
sake, II. H. Warner, head of Warmers SAT-
cure establishment, to give the same kint
of remedies then used 10 the people of to

Prospect of Trouble the Coming Summer
In Behring Sea.

OTTAWA, February 2d-Admiral Kenage,
who assumed command of the British fleet
in the Pacific has, in his report to the
British Government, drawn attention to the
inetf'ciency and weakness of the squadron
on the Pacific coast, and, as result, it is
reported here that the Imperial Govern
ment has decided to add several vessels TO
the Adnirars command. His orders for
the coming season are to keep a sharp
lookout TO see that the rights of British
sealing vessels in the Behring Sea are not
interfered with in the future.
When here the Admiral said that if he
had been in command of the station when
several Canadian schooners were seized by
the United States cutter Corwin last year,
he would have given the Yankee cruiser a
sample of what British justice was. The
Admiral is said to be a hot-headed old
sailor, and it will surprise no one here to
learn that he had got Great Britain in some
sort of a squabble before the summer is
