The House, having under consideration the ease of Elector Hoggs, of Pennsylvania, by n vote of 133 to 116 voted that the evidence in the casu should be"read.

When the decision of the tribuna' in the case nf South Carolina came up, an effort was made to introduce the evidence in the case.

The resolution was adopted. THE JOIST CONVENTION. When the joint convention reassembled, the decision of the tribunal Riving the vote of Oregon to Hayes and Wheeler was announced, rhe presiding officer asked whether there were objections to the decision. Senator Kelly (Denu). of Oregon, objected to Ihe decision, giving his reasons. The two houses then separated. The action of eac'.i house on the objection to the derision iu the case of Oregon having been read, the presiding ollicer announced tlie two houses again met in joint convention. The certificate from the State of Pennsylvania, giving twenty-eight votes for Hayes and Wheeler, having been read, and the presiding oflicer having asked whether there was any objection to the vote, Mr. Stengcr (Pem.), of Pennsylvania, rose and objected to the counting of the vote of Henry A. Boggs, of Pennsylvania, on the ground that the electors had no ri^ht to appoint him in place of Daniel T. Morreil. who was rendered ineligible because an oQiceholder. Attached to the objections are a copy of the President's commission to Mr. Morreil, certified bv the secretary of State, and the testimony taken with reference to this case before the committee on the powers, privileges and duties of the House. When the reading was finished (there being no further objections to the vote of Pennsylvania) the Senate retired. The joint convention having reassembled, Senator Allison, one of the tellers, announced that the State of Pennsylvania had given twentv-niue votes for Hayes and Wheeler. The certificates from Rhode Island were then read, showing four votes for Haves and Wheeler. Objection was made to the vote of Elector Slater, it being set forth in the second section of.snch objection, as follows: That George A. Corliss, according to the decision of the Electoral commission, if said decision bv law rendered, in the count of the vote of J. W. Watts as elector of the State of Oregon, was duly appointed elector by the State of Rhode Island ; and the substitution for him of said Slater was illegal and unconstitutional. The question having been referred to the two houses m separate session, and decided in favor of Slater, the senators re-entered the chamber, and the vote of Rhode Island was, after the oh siTV&nee of tho usual formality, announced as four for Hayes and 'Wheeler. < The next certificate opened was that from South Carolina authenticated by Governor Chamberlain, showing seven votes for Hayes and Wheeler. It was followed by another certificate showing seven Votes for Tilden and Hendricks, with a. statement of the electors explaining the absence of the governor's authentication. The objection to the Republican certificate was presented by Representative Cochrane, of Pennsylvania : and tho objection to the Democratic one was presented by Senator Patterson, of South Carolina. The South Carolina electors were counted for Haves?the House voting against them. The convention reassembled. Tennessee and Texas were -next counted for Tilden and Hendricks. Vermont was then reached, and became the subject of a struggle in the joint convention. Not only was one of the Vermont electors objected to, but Mr. Springer insisted that there were tvro certificates from that State, and that the case must go before tho Electoral eomiriission. The president of the Senate refused to entertain this proposition, and the two houses again separated. The two houses met again at eleven o'clock Thursday night. The action of each house on the objections having been read, the presiding officer announced that the two houses not concurring otherwise, the five electoral votes of Vermont would i.e counted tor naves ana Wheeler. The certificate of Virginia was read, aud the eleven votes of that State were counted for Tilden and Hendricks. The five votes of West Virginia were counted for Tilden and Hendricks. The certificate from Wisconsin having been read, Mr. Lyude (Dem.)> of Wisconsin, presented objections to counting the vote of Daniel W. Downs, one of the electors for the State, he having held the office of pension surgeon and examining surgeou for the |tension officer prior to and on November 7. 1H7G, the day of the Presidential election, and on December 6, 1876, on which day he assumed to cast his vote as an elector. The two houses separated and at 4:08 a.m. Friday morning reassembled, and when a 1 the members were seated, the action of the respective houses on the Wisconsin question was read, and the ten votes of Wisconsin were announced for Hayes and Wheeler. The presiding* officer said this concluded the count of the thirty-eight I'tates of the Union. The tellers will now ascertain and deliver the result of the votes to the presiding officer. At 4:in A. M. uie i rcfsiut lit ui uiu ouuui? unnouuced that Rutherford 15. Hayes had received j 185 votes for Fresident and William A. Wheeler | 185 voteB for Vice-President, and that they I were therefore respectively elected. One solitary hiss was* heard. With tills ; exception the announcement was made in the midst of the most profound silence. The i Senate <hon withdrew, and the House ac? jourued for the first timo in a month.

Aii Indian l)iu>l. A citizeu of Sioux City, says the i Omaha Herald, who has spent much j time among the agencies of the up-river Indians, Hays it is amusing, as well as , touching, to hear an Indian sing his ; | death sung. Our informant was at Standing Rock a ; I few months since, and one day he ob- j i served an unusual stir among the In- ' i dians. . Soon two bucks came forth from i different lodges, each with a gun in his hand. They walked out some little dis i tance from the rest of the Indians and I took posts, distant from each other about | fifty yards. At a given signal they turn- ! ; ed, raised their rifles to their faces, and j fired. Both fell, wounded, one fiitally. j They were immediately surrounded by , 1 friends, who made no particular effort to ! bind their wounds, but simply stood j around talking um< ?ng themselves and gesticulating, while the wounded In- j dians, as s-oon as they fell, begun the death song. There was little music in it. It wi ft-sorb of deep down, unnatural tone of voice, kept up for half a . | minute or so at a time, when it would ' cease, and the sufferers would in th? in-. , terim make a confession of all the evil deeds they had ever done. They would i tell of the massacres in which they had ' , been engaged; how many scalps they , | had lifted from the heads of white peo- , : pie; the number of }>onies they had stolen: together with all corts of impor' taut and unimportant evil doings in 1 their lifetime. This accomplished, they ' were ready to give up the ghost. I ~ ~ How She Threads n Needle. The Baltimore Sum says i Among the large number of patients who sought !

Ireland and America. The president of tlie Amateur Rifle Club of New York has received the following letter, suggesting a return match on Irish soil to that which occurred at Cr^edmoor immediately after the international match of last summer?being the third of the series. A meeting of the club will be at once called, when the matter will be discussed: Mr Dear Sir: I have pleasure in submitting to you the following resolution passed at a council meeting of tho Irish Rifle Association, held at the Mansion House', Dublin, Jan. 22, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair: Resolved, That an invitation be addressed to the Amateur Rifle Club of New York to send a team to Ireland in the present year, to shoot a match on same conditions as Irish-American matches of 1874, 1875 and 187G. I have peculiar pleasure in forwarding this resolution, and I hope it will lead to another of those friendly contests which have in the liiat three years been productive of much good feeling and honorable rivalry between two nationalities connected otherwise by many agreeable associations.

A clergyman in a Western town has had to leave his parish owing to a little domestic difficulty with his wife, on which his people got divided. The female in this case was the disturbing element. She declined to discharge the duties of her household, and finally kicked out of the traces altogether. She wouldn't cOok and she wouldn't wash. Tne poor clergyman bore his afflictions like a saint, and at hist took to washing the family clothes himself, and doing the cooking as'well as he could. Oue of his female friends, in espousing his cause, remarked to a sister on the opposite side that she thought it waa a peculiarly hard case for the minister. "Well." replied the sister, " there may b<. borne truth on your side; but the facc is, he was awfully provoking. His washing was so miserable, and nobody could eat his cooking." Raiding an Indian Village. A correspondent writing from the Black Hills region says: I have another victory to report, such as it is. Lieut. Cummiugs, with Company C of the ; Third Cavalry, dropped in uninvited upon an Indian village of ten lodges on Crow creek, near the old Custer trail. ; Ar a nurprise party it was a success. The Indians lit ont with a discreet promptness, leaving their lodges, household gear, sixteen ponies, 600 head of sheep, and a herd of cattle in the hands of the troops. After nightfall they rallied and attacked the camp, yelling like 60 many stockbrokers. The affair was lively while it lasted, but it was soon over, the Indians not meaning business, and being easily driven off. One Indian was killed; no casualties on our side. The country is fairly swarming with redskins. They have just driven a party from this camp into the Hills. People who have a preference for a quiet life had better wait a while before comingon here to m^dte their fortunes. Wrestling with Wrong. A man resident on Fever river, 111., had long suffered and supported chills and fever. Strict adherence to allopathic, them homoeopathic, then eclectic, and finally qnackick prescriptions, deprived him of the use of liis legs and laid him out to die. In this condition, the medicos having given him up, the clericos took him in hand. " Have you j -.c ) > ! ever tuuuf^uii %jl jruiu. mtuci cuu * one. "Did you ever reflect on your final day ?" " Well, I haven't much ; j I've been too busy with my liver." " You should, my dear friend, for I think yon cannot remain -with hb long," said the ghostly adviser. "You must wrestle with the evil one, and wrestle strong." "Rassle, is it?" replied the sufferer, putting out from under the bod clothes a leg emaciated to the last degree. "Rassle, is it? You see that leg ? Why, he'd snake me into his dominions in less 'n a minute." Reducing the Ariny. In the United States House of Representatives Mr. Atkins (Dem.), of Tennessee, from the appropriation committee, reported the Army Appropriation bill. It reduces the number of cavalry regiments to eight, of artillery to fotfr, and of infantry to sixteen. It. contains a proviso prohibiting any of the money appropriated by the bill from being applied for the pay, transportation or subsistence of troops to be employed in support of the claim of either Nieholls or Fackaril as governor ot JLouisinna, or in support of the rival Legislatures in that State ; ami it prohibits the employment of any part of the army in support of the olaiifl8 of any State government or any officer of the State until duly recognized hy Congress. It was ordered to be printed. A party of vegetarians who were boarding at a water cur(\ establishment, while taking a walk in the fields, were attacked by a lmll, which chased them furiously out of his pasture. " That's yonr gratitude, is it, you great, hateful thing !" exclaimed one of the ladies, panting with fright and fatigue, "After this I'll eat beef three times a day."

Wonders of Modern Science. The perfect accuracy with which scientist? are enabled to deduce the most minate particulars in their several departments, appears almost miraculous if we view it in the light of the early ages. Take for example, the electromagnetic telegraph?the greatest invention of the age. Is it not* marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly a fruntnrp in * miKmorino noorlv three thousand miles long? Our venerable i" clerk of tho weather" has become so thor| oughly familiar with those most wayward elements of natnre that he can accurately predict their movements. He can sit in Washington I and foretell what the. weather will be to-mori row in Flordia and Now York, as well as if several 1 hnndred miles did not intervene between l him and the places named. And so in all de! partmcnts of modern science, what is required i is the knowledge of certain signs. From these j the scientists deduce accurate concluriona regardless of distance. A few fossils sent to the | expert, geologist enaoie nim to accurately determine the rock formation from which they were taken. He cau describe it to you as peri fectly a? if a cleft of it wore lying on his table. I Ho also the chemiHt can determine the constitu| tion of the sun an accurately as if that lumin| ary were not ninety-five milhon miles from hia I laboratory. The sun sends certain sign* oyer the "infinitnde of space" and the chemist I classifies them by passing them through tho | spectroscope. Only the presence of certain I substances conld produce these solar signs. 80 I also, in medical science, diseases have certain unmistakable signs, or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, Dr. fierce, of the World's Dispensary, has been enabled to originate and perfect a system of determining, with tho greatest accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases without seeing and personally examining liis patients. He has spared neither pains nor ! expense to associate with himself, as tho faculty of the World's Dispensary, a largo number of medical gentlemen of raro attainments and skill?graduates from some of the moat famous medical colleges and universities of both Europe and America. By aid of Dr. Tierce's system of diagnosis, these physicians and surgeons annually treat, with the most gratifying Buccess, many thousands of invalids without ever seeing them in person. In recognizing diseases without a personal examination of tho patient they claim to possess no ; miraculous powers. xnoy auain uieir Jinowij edge of tho patient's disease by the practical | application of ivell established principles of | modern science to the practice of medicine. ! And it is to the accuracy with which this system has endowed tljpm that they owe their almost world wide reputation for tho skillful treatment of all lingering or chronic affections. ThiB KTrttem of practice aujl the marvelous success which has been attained through it, demonstrate the fact that diseases display certain phenomena, which being subjected to scientific analyniH or ayntheius, fnrniHh abundant and I unmistakable data to guide the judgment of I the skillful practitioner aright in determining the nature of diseased conditions. The ' amplest resources for treating lingering or | chronic diseases, and the greatest skill, aro j thus placed within tho easy reach of every in| valid, however distant ho or she may reside | from the physicians making the treatment of such affections a specialty.

The Cincinnati Gazette tells this story: Abraham Johnson, a merchant of Kokoj mo, IncL, left his home on foot to see a i Mr. Hnnt, living three miles from Young | America in a direction south of west He I held a claim against Mr. Hunt, and his j object was to get a new note. He arrived : at Hunt's just as the family were going ! to dinner, and he took dinner with them. ; Afterward, near Blind own, Mr. Johnson ; started for home. There are several i angles in the road, so, being afoot, he : crossed some fields to shorten the distance. As he came upon the road, a mile or thereabout west of Young AmeriI ca, ho met three men who were driving | a pair of horses to a spring wagon in I which there was but one seat. They spoke i to him, having stopped the horses, and j learning who lie was, remarked he was the mun they wanted to see, as they had an improvement in machinery they desirea i to show him. It was now the dusk of the evening. One of the men took a box , ont of the wagon, another acted as if he i were examining a wheel, while Mr. John; son putn himself in a position to look at ! the box about to be opened. He knows !no more about it. TJiirtv hours after i that time lie becamo conscious and found himself in the darkness, wedged in a I close place, jib close as if he were in a ' grave. By degrees he released himself, dragging his body along, pushing chunks of wood out of his way, and by-and-bye ' emerged from a hollow log. Looking about him in great bewilderment he saw ' a dim light in the distance, and naturally took that direction. He arrived at the lirman oml mrub-nno/1 flio faniilv TTpro he fonnd out that he was less than three miles from Delphi and from thirteen to ! fifteen milea from home; that it was jnst : past midnight of Thursday night, and ! that it was thirty hours later than when | he had met the three men. The truth now broke in on him. The bruise and lump on the back of hifl head helped him to comprehend the situation. He had been knocked down, hanled more than a j dozen miles and concealed in the log for dead. He oidy had twenty-five dollars about him and that was gone, but it was ; lenown in the neighborhood that he had ' engaged to make a purchase on which : 8500 were to have been paid on Wednes day evening. He was served with re1 fresliments at the house of the strangers and was urged to remaiu until morning, but he got the best directions he could and started at once to go home. It seems almost a staggering thought that he | would be the balance of that night and I all the next day gettting over the twelve or fifteen miles between him and his j home. Bnt it must be understood that in his condition there were chances for , great bewilderment, and that he did not, by any moans, pursue a straight direcI tion. Besides, through that part of the country, he lind no acquaintances. East and south of Ids home he knew nearly every person, and all knew him, but west he knew no one beyond the immediate neighborhood of his home. - f . ?. I i A Cure for Diphtheria. Dr. Ohenery, of Boston, has lately the Specific remedy against diphtheria? i that 'so mnch dreaded ailment, which of j late years has carried off many valuable : lives. He reports a very large number [ of cases (158 within his own practice) ! saved by the use of this remedy. The ! dose of the hyposulphite is from five to I fifteen grains or more in syrup, every two to four hours, according to age and circumstances. It can do no harm; but ! if too mnch is given it will purge ; as (much as the patient can bear without 'purging is a good rule in the severer icases. The solntion or mixture can bo mod in doacs of five drops to half .a i drachm i:i milk. The amount for thori ourIi stimulation is greater than can be taken in water. The doctor usually (rives it in such doses ns can be easily taken in milk, using milk besides as a . food for small children. One fact, however, needs to be borne in mind, namely, f i l- i.i.? n l: iqc uypoaujpiutti pruveuKJ w luntonuu of milk and it should be given in le is than an hour after taking the medicine, i They may be used alternately, however, -without interference, in sufficiently fre; quent doses.
