ABANDONED AT SEA.-The Italian
bark Pietrino from Smyrna, when ar
rived at New York Wednesday night,
reports that on February IL the scheon-
or Elwood Harlow, of New YORK, was
sighted with all sails furled and her
ensign union down at the masthead.
The Pietrino bore down on the schoon-
or, but saw no signs of life on her deck
and there was no answer to repeated
halls. The captain concluded that the
Harlow had been abandoned. The
schooner was half full of water and
had slight list to starboard, but was
not so badly waterlogged as to be un-
manageable. Her hull, rigging and
spars were intact, and the decks were
shipshape The ensign was not torn,
aud evidently had not long been ex-
posed to the wind. The Harlow is q
three-masted schooner of 1900 tons
net register. She was built at this city
iu 1852, and is owned in New York.
She sailed from Brunswick, Ga, on
February 4 bound for Perth Amboy.
She was commanded by Captain Ham
NETT. Seven large schooners-the
Robert Portner, James B. Ogden, Ell
wood Harlow, James Boyce, jr., Will
son & Hunting, VIM. S. Hart and Hen
ry S. Culver-were built here from 1876
to 1888. This is the third one Of the
fleet which has been ill-fated. The
Portner foundered somewhere in the
East Indies and the Hart was lost in a
storm

THE Ice IN THE RIvER.-The cooler
weather of the past twenty-four hours
has hardened the ice somewhat, though
channel in the river is still kept open
by the Norfolk and other boats passing
up and down the river. The United
States tug Triton has received huge
PROV with which to attack the ice, and
the tug Vulcan has left Baltimore for
Washington to help break up the
blockade. Tomorrow the Hercules,
on the way from New York, will join
the Vulcan. The tug Jupiter, of the
same fleet, which has been frozen up
in the Great Wicomico, has escaped
and gone to Norfolk. The Potomac,
of the Weems line, left Baltimore to-
day for the Potomac and will endeavor
to reach LeoDardtown. The Norfolk
steamer arrived here this morning only
about twenty minutes late, having
passed through the ice with compare
lively little difficulty. She reports
that she found the tug Vulcan near
Blackstone's Island last night stuck in
the ice and cut her out. The Vulcan
passed up the river at AS this evening.

ACouITTED.-The case against David
Petit, of Alexandria county, charged
with stealing pork from the wagon of
Matthew, Kell & Co., while it stood
abandoned on the Washington road on
the night of the 7th of February, dur
ing the terrible snow storm, was heard
before Justice Harris, colored, at the
county courthouse to-day, and resulted
in the discharge Of the accused. Dallas
Peyton, who was coming home from
Washington, testified that two men
passed him in one horse sleigh coming
towards Alexandria and afterwards re-
passed him going towards Washing
ton. One of them he took for Petit
by his voice. This was all the evidence
against Petit. Three witnesses testi-
fed that Petit was not out of his house
that day or night and was suffering so
from rheumatism that he was not able
to put his boots on. Commonwealth
Attorney Johnson appeared for the
State and Mr. Gardner Boothe for the
defendant.

FELL WHILE AsLEEp.-Mr. Wyatt F.

of the Episcopal High School near this
city, met with quite painful accident
about 7 o'clock this morning. While in
somnambulistic state he attempted to
descend from fourth story window of
that building and in doing SO fell to the
ground. 1t was at first thought that he
had been fatally injured but he soon
rallied when it was ascertained that he
was considerably shaken up and badly
bruised. No bones were broken and
no serious results are expected.

CONGRESS.

In the Senate yesterday there was a
lively debateupon the proposition ofthe
committee on appropriations to take
out of the Indian appropriation bill all
appropriations for sectarian schools.
The action of the committee was sus-
tanned by vote of 81 to 80. The Sem
ate would have completed the Indian
appropriation bill yesterday had not
the discussion arisen on the sectarian
school question. 1t brought outs wide
range OF debate on the separation of
church and State, in the course ofwhich
the expressions were general that the
government should entirely abandon
UNCONVENTIONAL schools. On the aye
and nay vote an exception was made
in the case of the Indian schools at
Hampton, Va, and Lincoln, Philadel-
phia, On the ground that they were
not strictly UNCONVENTIONAL. The Sec
tartan question was still under consid-
Grafton when the Senate adjourned. 1t
was arranged to hold night session,
but there was no quorum. During the
day two of the Senators. ELECT, ex- Gov
ernor Tillman, of South Carolina, and
Marion Butler, of North Carolina,
made their first appearance on the floor
of the Senate.
In the House after the bill appropri-
ating $500, 900 for the construction of a
cable to the Hawaiian Islands had been
defeated the bill was sent back to fur
Their conference. A short time was spent
in the consideration of the general
deficiency bill, the last of the appropri-
alton bills to be passed by the House.
Enlogies on the late Senator Stock
bridge, of Michigan, closed the day.
The House committee on Pacific rail-
roads has decided to report a new bill
based on the Reilly bill, but containing
important changes.

Rodes Camp Of Confederate Veterans, in
Lynchburg last night resolutions of respect to
the memory of the late General n. D. Corse
and of coincidence to the family were adopted.
The camp decided to take no part in the

ferred to committee for revisal providing
