A horrible tragedy occurred on Mul

day "last. Kichard Hill, a farmer, had
in his employ as farm hands two young
men aged sixteen and eighteen respect
ively, named Joseph Forbish and 11
liam Chenowerth. They formed a plan
to rob the house, aud in order to carry
out their scheme, after eating their din
ner, as usual, J-orbisli went out to cliop
some wood. While doing so a little lour
years old girl came out. Presently he
picked up the child and started off with
her toward the creek, where he was soon
joined by Chenoweth, and after proceed
ing some mstanee lrom tne nouse uiey
cruelly murdered her, and threw the
bodj" into the deep pool of the creek.
When the child was missed by its par
ents, the father and neighbors commenc
ed a diligent search. It was at this time
that the murderers expected to rob the
house, while all the family were absent,
but Mrs. Hill remained at home. After
searching all night, the body of the mur
dered child was found in the creek with
the neck broken, and the body horribly
mutilated. Suspicion at once fell upon
Forbish and Chenoweth, and they were
arrested, when they made a full confes

were both killed in- the guard.

uiilisui. This may, perhaps, arise from
an inability to appreciate and fellow the
subtle chain of reasoning by which the
writer reaches his conclusions, but more
probably springs from somewhat natural
doubts as to the "candid and truthful
statements" contained in it. The article
is long occupying over three columns
but the results at which it arrives can lie
summed tip in a few words. According
to the yiews of the writer, any test to
which a medium Is subjected and which
incoutrovertibly proves the manifesta
tion to bea fraud aud trick, must be ac
cepted as positive proof that the phenom
ena are from a spiritual source And the
logic is as peculiar as the deduction.
Because, in a certain seance, it is impos

At the opening of Congress, there was
the usual crowding ot galleries of both
Senate and House. Members and Sena
tors were early in their seats and there
was a general greetingamongold friends.
The call of the roll showed that more
than a quorum of Members was present
The Senate was also full. The usual
committees to wait on the President, and
inform him that Congress was in session
and ready to receive any communication
he had to make, were appointed iu both
Houses. Jir. Dawes ottered the motion
iu the House. A recess was then taken
so as to allow the committee time to re-
jiort. The Speaker soon after called the
roll and announced the standing com
mittees of the House for the. present ses

or she does perform them, therefore it
innst be admitted that they arc perform
ed by spirits. To illustrate more fully,
we subjoin the following account of a
"circle," taken from the article in ques
tion: When the committee met they "were
placed, as usual, on two sides and one end
of a long table, with their hands all joined
together, so that no break in the circle
could occur, without at. least two persons
being cognizant of it. Mrs. Chamberlain
was seated in a chair at the other end of
the table, with her dress tacked to the
floor, whilst both the hands of each of the
persons sitting next to her ( Mr. Colby be
ing one of them and an equally reliable
person the other) were formed alter the
usual manner in a pack, with one of the
hands of each of the persons w ho sat next
them between, lie lore taking his seat in
the circle Mr. Colby stepped out of the
room and brought in a pair of drum-sticks,
the handles of which he had iimknovrii to
the medium and most or all of the others
present) previously blackened with print
ter's ink; and also several other instru
ments of music, hells, &c which lie had
also striped nml dotted at appropriate
places (severally) with red. blue and
jtreen ink. These 'were laid in a place be
yond the possible reach of the medium,
and Mr. ('., having taken his place, the
light was turned off. as is usual on such
occasions, bolh Mrs. Chamberlain's hands
were constantly engaged in manipulating
with gentle touches the pack of hands on
either side of her, in order ( as the theory
1s) to draw magnetic1 power from the whole
circle (linked together as before describ
ed). The company being of "one accord"'
and harmonious, the manifestations were
good, accompanied with the usual beating
oftlie big drum and the performance in the
air (as they sailed overhead around the
room) of the bells anil lesser instruments
of music. When the seance closed, a
committee of ladies was appointed to ex
amine the medium and learn whether any
marksf otiierthnn those already perceived p
were made by the coloring matter on her
person. They reported that, besides the
stains of printer's ink on her hands visible
to all as were also sundry marks on the
neck that other spots and lines of red,
blue and green (corresponding to those on
the instruments) were found on different
parts or her person.
Now to ordinary minds, such acts
would be conclusive proof of trickery,
and the mere inability to detect the hw
ilus operandi, would not lie taken as evi
dence of supernatural influence. But
the writer declares these things to be the
strongest proof of the spiritual origin of
the drumming and bell-ringing, and,
with clear, conducive logic reasons it all
out, as follows :

On Tuesday the Fish and Catacazy cor
respondence was sent to tne Senate. It
is quite voluminous. The letter of Fish
to Minister Curtin, dated Nov
states that on his arrival
Catacazy gave promise of being a useful
and very acceptable minister, and made
an agreeable impression. Soon, howev
er, he began to make himself very offi
cious, interfering in questions not ap
propriately connected with his legation,
and in those pending before Congress
importuning Senators and Representa
tives, and resorting to personal inter
views aud solicitations unusual on the
part of representatives of other powers
accredited to this government, distaste
ful and annoying to the legislators thus
indecorously approached, and tending
to em harass the tree course ot legislation
on subjects with respect to w hich his in
terference was directed. Jle did
hesitate to use tlie newspapers of
country to influence public opinion upon
questions lMMidmg before tne govern
ment, and indulged iu much license in
his denunciations ot measures and md
viduals. in ins conversation lie was
even more severe and unrestrained, anil
employed abusive and vituperative lan
guage toward very many persons, in
cluding several in public positions and
enjoying the respect aud confidence of
the community. 1 he impropriety of a
lorcign minister t'jus attempting to in
lluence and misdirect the public opinion
of the country must be admitted as suffi
cient ground for his ceasing to be a pro)
er agent between the government
which he represents anil that to which
he was accredited. The correspondence
contains proofs showing the truth of the
statements ot the Secretary, and othc
matters of public interest.

France.
The appointment of Jules Kerry as
Minister to the United States, is ofiicial
ly promulgated.
The Figaro newspaper says that orders
have been sent to Cherbourg and Brest,
to have vessels prepared lor cruising
about the coasts of France. The Figaro
represents that these naval precautions
are taken to prevent what it calls "anoth
er return from Elba,"
President Thiers ha3 demanded the
Holy See, at the request of Bismark, to
recall Prince DeChigialbant, Papal Nun
cio to Paris.
The message of Thiers has been receiv
ed in the Assembly aud read. It announc
es that the British government has been
notified of the intention of France to
abrogate the treaty of commerce at. the
stipulated time, but that France will not
discontinue the negotiations for a re
arrangement of her commercial relations
with Kngland. The deputies are warned
never to forget to what depths the
wretchedness of the Empire had led the
country. France should now look for
complete recognizatioii to God and to
time. It was her policy to endure her
dignified peace. Should a war occur,
despite her determination to remain at
peace, it should not be her deed. France
must resume the position to which she
was entitled, not only for her own good,
but in the interest of all nations.
France sympathizes with the people in
the maintenance of his spiritual inde
pendence and will in case of need give
the Holy Father a vigorous supjwrt.
The utmost cordiality is manifested to
ward Austria, for whose prosperity fer
vent hope is expressed. The relations
of France with Itussia, says the Presi
dent, are those of reciprocal interests.
Thiers deplores the indebtedness of the
country, but says it is due to the machi
nations of the Emperor Napoleon. The
President advocates the establishment; of
general compulsory military service in
war lime, and purposes the limitation of
tho annual contingent to thirty thousand
men in time of peace. The message
concludes with an expression of confi
dence in tlie patriotism of the Assembly.
The National Assembly adopted, by a
vote of 80 to 277, the recommendation
from the committee having in charge
the subject, for alienation to the store of
the crown jewels.
The weather is intensely cold, and the
mercury in the thermometer on Wednes
day indicated 21 1 j degrees below zero,
centigrade. The river Seine is tightly
frozen over, and a heavy fall of snow
impedes railroad trarlic.
In the Assembly a motion was made
by M. Duehatel for removal of the As
sembly and scat of government to Paris.
The motion gave rise to an animated de
bate, which promised to he a protracted
one, although there is little doubt that
the proposal has a majority of the Cham
ber in its favor.
The appeals of the Coniniunist-s con
victed of the murder of licnerals lx'--Compte
and Thomas, aud sentenced to
sutler death, have been rejected by tho
Commission of Pardons. There is no hope
that Thiers will Interpose to remove this
final decision.
A special despatch from Paris says tin;
situation in France is grave. The Oi
lcans Princes are pushing things. Ou
Tuesday they sought the advice of Theirs
a I Knit taking their scats, but ho assured
them that their presence in the Assembly
would arouse many animosities, that, the
moment was inopportune aud that the
Bomipartist, Bed Jtcpuhlicuii and Legiti
mate journals would clamor that, the
ttcpublie was menaced. The Prince
answered that they would not act with
out further consideration. There was
no misunderstanding but Thiers showed
extreme anxiety to prevent the Princes
from taking their scuts. Tin' same night
the Commission 011 Abrogation of the
Ln w of Kxile met, and should they ab
rogate that law the Princes will undoubt
edly, cnler the Chamber. Theirs, re
garding this a menace to Ihu Bcpublic,
