James 1 Btkuuett, of Pitts burgh, has been appointed by Oovernor Hartranft to fill the vacancy on the Su preme llenrh of the State caused by the death of Judge Williams. Hayes and Wheeler. The electoral count was completed on Friday morning at about 5 o'clock, and Hayes was declared President for four ' years from the 6th of March. The officers were sworn in at 12 o'clock on Sunday and the regular Inauguration ceremonies take place on Monday. An extra session of the Senate has been called and is now in session. , Made Insane by Hair Dye. The New Milford Hay of t.'onn.,ays that Mrs. Miranda ltuby,a crazy woman who has lived in that village many years, and whose insanity was mani fested by always wearing a letter enve lope on her bonnet or tied to herpanisol, or in some other harmless way, doubts if any one would be likely to surmise the cause of her insanity. A few days ngoherson visited New Milford, and took Mrs. ltu by to see a physician in New Haven for ndvlce. The physician said that her difficulty was softening of the brain ; that it was absolutely Incura ble, and that it was caused entirely by the use of hair dye. Not Willing to Divide. James L. Winfrey, on returning to his home in De Witt, Mo., after an nlv sence of several years, found that his wife had replaced him with Mayo Hall. Winfrey did not care to recover his wife, but he did want his furniture, and went with a wagon to remove it. Hall ar gued that if he retained the woman he must also have the furniture, and, he threatened to shoot whoever attempted ts take it away. Thereupon Winfrey killed him and was "exonerated" by a Justice of the Peace. g" There was great excitcmentaround the den of bears on tho 1st of February at the Jardin desPlantes, Paris. A nurse held a boy of five years on the railing that he might see the animals, and ac cidentally let him drop. The spectators all thought that the bears would have at tacked the child, but they refrained. It was necessary that one should descend into the pit to withdraw him, but only one man volunteered. He was lowered by a rope under the armpits and with drew the boy without molestation. His courage was rewarded by profuse felicita tions, but he escaped without giving his name " ' - m- - Diaz Elected President of Mexico. . City of Mexico, February, is, via. Havana, February 2G.

The other day Sir Hichard Walla, the well-known philanthropist in Paris, wub obliged t bring an action against one of his tenants on the Boulevard de Italleus to have a number of Hons re moved. Now he has served a notice upon the same eccentric occupant that he must carry ofr, within twenty-four hours, a family of crocodiles which have been Installed there, to the Inconveni ence, and even terror, of the rest of the tenants. -B Uonton, February 20.

Washington, D. C, Feb. S3th, 1877. I suppose there is little doubt in the minds of tlie people concerning tbe Presi dency. Hayes is everywhere spoken of as tbe President-elect, tbe Cabinet slate hav ing been several times reraodled for him, but he himself is silent on the subject. His ideas, and those of bis family, how ever, ore quite manifest from tbe f'uet tbat Mrs. Hayes is now in Cincinnati having her inaugural costume prepared by the lending firm of tbat city. Your lady read ers will, of course, be interested iu the de tails of that preparation and for their ben efit, I give it us no extract from to-dtty's (Yitic. "Tbe iuatigural dress will be of elegant black silk, cut ' princeRse' iu style, and will be high iu tbe throat with long sleeves, and, of course, full train. It will ' be trimmed with black velvet, blue satin and Valen ciennes luce, nnd, although rich and ele gant, is pronounced very plain. It costs $500. Tbe evening or reception dress, will he of quaker gray, with corsage waist, square neck, dcmi-sleeves and full train. It is to be trimmed with Valenciennes lace, fringe and flowers, and will cost $300. The morning dress will be of blue cash mere, handsomely trimmed with silk of same shade, with fringe to match, with demi-train and 'princesse polonaise. The duty of taking cbargo of the removal of tbe Governor's lamily to Washington has been assigned to Colonel Lou Wier, of Cincinnati, a member of the Governor's stuff, who is now busily engaged la com pleting the arrangements." Much has been written and said about the accommodations of the four men, Wells, Anderson, Casenave aud Keuner, members of the Louisiana Returning Board, who me spending this mouth in t he custod v of the ftergeant-at-arras of the House of itepresentatives at the Capitol. They mny be seen any afternoon now about five o'clock, when tbe Congressmen have pnno home to dinner, sitting quietly mound one of tho restaurant tables in the Hotme wing basement of tho Ciipitol, dis cussing, with apparent iclisli, ns good and well-prepared dinner as can bo found at any hotel. Three of them are very or dinary looking men might pass for butchers or bakers or candlestick makers, but the other, Anderson, is a tall, fine looking man of the military type. He aud Wells occupy a room with nicely carpeted floor, containing two black walnut bed steads, tables, chairs, aud writing couve nionreR, and although neither as light as the Senate Chamber nor ns airy as the dome, is far from being an uncomfortable lodging. Tbe restraint upon them all is very alight aud they are allowed to ride out whenever they choose to do so. Lent doeB not appear to do away with all festivities in Washington, though the "Gay Season" proper, came, to a close a foitni(iht ago. Last week people were very pleasantly entertained by an "Au thor's Carnival" given at Masonic Temple ou four successive evenings. The principal representations were Burn's Cottage, the inmates ef which were all in Highluud costume ; Whittier's "Snow Bound" home Btid "Maud Mullor ; " Moore's "Lalla Hookh" with the veiled prophet aud perl ; Tennyson's "Dream of Fair Women" and "May Queen ; " Peggottv's boat from Dickens' ""David Coppe: field ;" Shakes pcaro ; Alladin's Cave and Fairy Grotto. But tbe most attractive of all was tho most real. A sculptor's studio wherein sat Viu nie Beam, modeling portrait busts iu clay. Chief Justice Waite sat to her the first evening and her deft little hands molded his striking features into recognizable shape in two or three hours. She will doubtless finish the bust aud have it put into marble. On Wednesday last a very distinguished company attended a reception given by Professor and Mrs. Henry of tbe Smith sonian Institude. Their companies aro always most agreeable, and among the gusts on Wednesday wore Mrs. and Miss Fish, Secretary and Mrs. Chandler, Lady Thornton, General Sherman, Professor ttaird, General and Mrs. Hunter and a young lady relative of theirs, Miss Rush of Philadelphia. She is the daughter of Dr. Richard Rush, who was sent to England to receive the rich - legacy of Smithsou with which the institution named for him was founded. (Mara Louise Kellogg sings in Opera bore four evenings this week and our musical world is wild over the prospect of so lioU a treat. . Co the first evening she appears in Star of tbe North," second, " Tbe Flyiug Dutchman," third, "Faust," and fourth, " II Travatore." . M. M. W. Hiscellniieoua News Items. CST A woman is very much like a kettle, if you come to think of it. She sings away so pleasantly theu she stops and, when you least expect it, she boils over. IW Mr. Charles Worth, of Conemangh, fell down stairs a few days since nnd hurt himself so bndly that he died from the injuries. HP A Hartford boy was thrown from a double-ripMr recently, and bis hip broken, but he didn't say auything about it for a week, aud now he will be a cripplo for life. t3f A nineteen year old girl was whipped by a schoolmaster at Allamakee, Iowa, and she thereupon sued him for breach of Iiromise, alleging that they had for a year eon matrimonially engaged. t9" A bag containing tbe body of an infant was fished out of the river at Pitts burgh, recently. The child had evidently been alive when born, and was undoubtedly drowned. Pieces of Iron had been placed in tho bag to sink it. (y Rice powder, which is much used by ladies upon their faces, is said to often contain lead, which renders it very injuri ous. If a little iodide of potash is drop ped upon the powder the presence of lead will be revealed by its turning yellow. tW A man 1n the top story of a Chicago hotel attracted a crowd of pedestrians a hundred feet below by waiving a pillow case and shouting. " Some of you fellows go to the office and tell them to send me up a cocktail." His bell was broken. t3J Policemnn E. W. Freeman shot and mortally wounded Edward Rice at a house on Walkor avenue, Charleston, Mass., recently. Tbe officer was endeavoring to arrest a noted thief and garrotnr named Donovan, when he was set upon by tbe occupants of tbe room, eight in number, and finally compelled to use his revolver. Efforts were made on Wednesday at Newport to ari-est Rev. Charles Thorpe, an Episcopal minister, of lierry, province of Quebec, who eloped last Saturday with a young lady of respectable family, leaving his wife and three children. As Thorpe could not be held, he left for Utica, N. Y., tbe girl going to Lowell and refusing to return home. tW At Harrow, Lancashire, England, a porter saved and bought real estate. His wife, who drank secretly pawned his coat, in the pocket of which were the title deeds. Tbe pawnbroker refused to restore tbem unless the advance was paid. The Court of Chancery has restrained him from parting with them pending the hearing of au aotion. tW New evidence confirms the suspic ious that Anderson, the freight conductor on the PeuiiBylvania Railroad, whose multilated body was found on the track near Harrisburg, was thrown there by some of the gang of counterfeiters with whom he had been connected, as be bad ex pressed a determination to expose tbe gang after bis own arrest for passing their bogus money. EiyTlie London Musical World has the following: "A celebrated vocalist, whose demeanor and acting were as awk ward and ungainly as his voice was beauti ful, said one day to Charles Bannister : 4 Do you know what made my voico so melodious?' No,' replied Bannister. ' Why, theu, wheu I was fifteen I swallow ed by accident some train oil.' 'I don't think,' rejoined Bannister, 'it would have done you any harm, if, at the same time, you had swallowed a dancing master.1 " ZW A blast of thirteen holes was ex- Jiloded a few days ago at tho bottom of the jocbiel stone quarries, near Harrisburg, through the agency of dynamite, with astonishing results. The bulk of stone heaved up is estimated at 500 perches, some pieces being of astonishing dimen sions. Three pieces were measured and found to be sixteen feet long, seven feet wide nnd four feet thick, or sufficient to build about 108 feet of ordinary stone fence. (3? The law of Missouri requires that wheu a man is to bo arrested, tbe warrant shall be read to bitn. While Deputy Mar shall Hughes of Jackson county was read ing a warrant to Frank Miller and Richard Green, whom he found while they were chopping wood in the Little Blue bottom, Green shot him through the heart, killing him instantly, lioth men fled, but were captured last week in Lafayetto couuty. An odd case of " prospecting a legacy" came under notice at the Bury County Court iu England the other day. Tbe defendant, in answer to a question put to him as to a sum of '500 loft to him by his mother stated that it had "gone where it was owing." It then came out that he had paid it into the hands of an innkeeper uudor an agreement drawn out by a lawyer that the legacy, little or much, should, when it became tangible be given to the innkeeper, who was to keep the defondant until ho died, and then bury him respectably. It is uot an unusual cus tom in some parts of Englaud for persons who have au unexpected windfall in the shapo of a small legacy to pay tbe amount thus received to a neighboring publican, and then "drink it out." OP" Not long after the stealing of Charley Ross, a little sou of Henry Doch mueler of St. Louis, was stolon. The father had but little property, aud was un able to pay the expenses of an extensive search ; but he shiewdly bit upon a plan for accomplishing tho ohjoct effectually. He read the newspapeis carefully, aud whenever he saw au account of the finding of a supiosed Charley Ross he sent to learn if the boy was uot bis lost one. 'At length, two years after the kidnapping, ho saw au account of a stray boy in Illinois, aud, on going tliere, he found what he had been so long in search ' of.. The child's bair bad been dyed, and he bad changed much through sickness and deprivatiou, but there was no doubt as to the identity. He bad been stolen by wandering beggars, who bad made his pretty face profitable in exciting sympathy. The father is now prosecuting the supposed kidnappers. ...... . .

They give satisfaction In every case and I can cheerfully recommend them to tbe public." Dyspepsia Dyspepsia Dyspepsia, Dyspepsia Is the most perplexing of all hu man ailments. Its symptoms are almost in finite in their variety, and the forlorn and despondent victims of the disease often fancy themselves the prey, In turn of every known malady. This Is due, In part to the close smypathy which exists between the stomach and the brain, and in part also to the fact that any disturbance of the digestive function necessarily disorders the llvcrf the bowels and the nervous system, and effects to some ex tent, the quality of tbe blood. E. F. Runnel's Bitter Wine of Iron Is a suro cure. This is not a new preparation, to be tried and found wanting, It has been prescribed dally for many years In the practice of emi nent physicians with unparalleled success ) It is not expected or intended to cure all the diseases to which tho human family is sub ject, but Is warranted to cure Dyspepsia In Its most obstinate form.
