It will be seen by the procoedtnfs In the legislature yesterday, as published elsewhere in this issue, that the bill in regard to the State Guard was laid upon the table on its second reading. If this means that the bill has been finally killed it will prove one of the most im wise of tho many nnwiso things done by this legislature. It is generally sup posed that legislation is made in tb ieterest of the people and not at tho caprice of tho legig-lative body but in this we are sometimes mistaken It is not only in the interost of the people but at their express request that this legislation was desired. The petition sent from this city represented threo tifths of .the taxable property of the p'aco and thero was not one instan of a refusal to sign. Petitions were also sent forward from other points, ail in favor of' the proposed legislation-andi not one in Opposition to it, and yet the measure is refused by bur. wiso law- 1 W.1 maiccrs. jrinat out is not latten upJi from the tabic there will bo trouble ; in the camp. ; Vo are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. M.

The number is a brilliant one, and is wor thy of the reputation the magazine is creating for itself.

The body was met here by a special car in which it was conveyed the balance of the way. -Mr. Packer died of: con sumption and had gone to Florida hoping for relief. He was a very prominent Democrat and' always gave liberally of his very extensive means to aid the party in Pennsylvania. ! In ad dition to other resources the income ot his share ot his father's estate was 2.000.000 a year. Under such circum- stance death must have been inexpres sibly hideous.

VVhat river was it that Muse wanted to cross? Vhat tribe of men forcibly obtained waves by stealing the women who were dancing at a least? What did Aaron's rod do when each prince of the twelve tribes wrote his name on a rod and laid them all up to gether for the night, to see who should be high priest? Who revolted, and attempted to declare himself king in opposition to Solomon at the time of David's decrepitude? What did Neb uchadnezzar see in his second dream, the destruction of which was command ed by a holy one from heaven ? What was the seventh plague upon Egypt? In what wilderness was exile Ilagar. when an angel, seeing her distress, showed her a well of water? From what place did the 600.000 Israelites start when called forth from Egypt? Who was the father of Jezebel? Who called his wife his sister and wou d have had her taken from him to become the wife of a king.had not Gad told the king in a dream sh e was the man's wife? What did Moses call the place where quails were sent to the Israelites. : An other man called his wife his sister be cause she was so beautiful that he feared envious persecution, and deceiv ed the same king - Who was it? . From what place did Moses view the-prom-ised land? i To whom was Kaanian's leprosy -transferred? ; Tbe initials of the answers to the above -will give a prevalent da of tha present day. . - NEW AD VERTISEIENTS.
