shortly after the opening the market

result was an advance all along the

In the case Of Jersey Central, Consoli-

The next extract of interest is an ac-
count of Mr. Henshaw's visit to his
mother in her last sickness. The jour-
ney from Middletown to leicester,
Worcester county, Mass, the home Of
his parents, occupied several days.
There is nothing of special mention in
the journey except perhaps where he
says did not stop in Sommers, where
they were raising liberty pole"
Arrived at Brother Joseph's, where
we drank coffee with uncle and aunt,
Cousin Joshua and his wife, Sister Sal
ly and our own company; then went to

1t is rather nice, too, to have some
thing occur occasionally to wake up
old sleepy congress. There was more
enthusiasm manifest in the White
House this month than any other
time before since the days of Lincoln.
President Cleveland appears to be
the central figure, but he is backed
to man by every Republican in the
house and senate. He sent in his
vigorous Venezuelan message to CON
gress and the Republican members
were the first to take steps to voice
his sentiments. The house immedi-
ately passed a resolution giving the
president authority to appoint an
Investigating committee to find out
the true boundary of Venezuela and
appropriating 100000 to defray the
expenses of the commission. On Fri
day the senate concurred in the
house resolutions, and Saturday after
noon the president signed it, making
it law. A bill was also introduced
in the house and senate appropriating
$100,O00,O00 to be expended in
strengthening our coast defenses,
which we are sorry to say, is sadly in
need in some places. The attitude of
congress is very warlike, to say the
least, and the only way it can be
averted is for England to completely
back down.
