 Dsafk ef ROfhschi1d. d.-We learn by this arri- val tiat Nathan Mayer Rothschild, the cele. brated London Banker, died on Thursday, July 18th, at Frankfort -on-the. Maine, at 5 o. clock in the afternoon. He was only sixty years of age. His visit to Frankfort was to be present at the marriage of his son. His illness continued for several weeks before it terminated in death. He was sensible to the last. It is said that he had a strong present. ment that he should not return to England but an impression prevails that his life might have been saved if better professional advice could have been procured than that found on the spot. MT. Rothschild was. emphatically speaking, a self-made man-the rise of his fortune was all within the present century.
 He came to England in 1900. where he acc ted as agent for his father in the purchase of goods for the continent. Shortly afterward, through the agency of his father and the Prince of Hesse Cassel, he had large sums of money placed at his disposal, which he em- Ployed with extraordinary judgment, and his means went on at a rapid rate of accumula- ton. 1t was not till the breaking out of the war with spain in 1908, that his extraordina-
 
 remittances for the English army in thai country, were developed to any extent, SO as to be known to the mercantile world general ly. He was one of ten children, eight of whom survive him-four brothers, two youn. ger and two older than himself and four sis terS.
 He married the daughter of MT. Cohen, a merchant in London, who is said so little to have anticipated the success in life of his fll- ture son-in-law, that he entertained some doubts about the prudence of the match-and Mir. Rothschild was accordingly desired to produce testimonials as to his worldly means. The whimsical answer was, that whatever number ofdaughters MT. Cohen possessed, he could not do better, so far as money and good character went, than to give them all to Ma than Mayer Rothschild.
 MT. Rothschild, like the rest of the brothers, holds patent of nobility with the title of Bar on, but he never assumed it, and was more justly proud of that name under which he had acquired distinction which no tile could convey.
 Inhuman.-On Sunday morning week, an infant of few days age, was found in the door yard of MT. Thomas H. Halsted, in Clin- ton: It was neatly dressed, and quietly re- posing in a new and handsome willow cra- dle. Care had been taken to protect it from the night air by an inner wrapper of blanket, and an outer wrapper spread over the cradle. In the cradle were found good frocks, 6 pet ticoats, 9 fine cambric shirts, neatly made, a slate colored merino, circassian mantle, lined with white silk and wadded, fine blue silk sash, a beautiful worked cap with double bor- der of thread lace, 2 Indian blankets, new and not hemmed, a blue silk hood, IA squares, and finally it was well stocked with every ne- cessary article of child's clothing. It is be- lieved that the infant was left there late on Saturday night as during the night the fam lily heard an infants vail, though at the time they supposed it was that of near neighbor, and as several of the neighbors heard the noise of carriage wheels that night, which ap- peared to have been driven moderately on going up and furiously in returning.
 The track of a one-horse wagon was dis tinctly visible, leading to the place where the child was left, where it turned and was dis tinctly traced to within short distance of this village, to the Crum Elbow Road. It is believed that the infant was left by some one from this village, and our informant was in possession of several facts to justify this be- tors in this scene will be discovered and ex- posed, whatever may be their present stand ing in society. Previous to this event, MT. Halsted had sold his possessions in this coun- ty, and was preparing to remove to the West. Having no children of his own, the wife of MT. H. has adopted the infant, which is said to be very handsome, and the family have now removed, taking it with them.

 The last of the Romans.-This was said of Madison at the time of his decease, but there is one other person who seems to have some c1ainoc n fhic h0n0rahlo distinction pa1nQ Wingate, of Stratham, New Hampshire, still survives. He was born in May, 1739 and was member of the old Continental Con- gress, and with John Langdon, represented his state in the first Senate in 1769, and be- lieved to be the only survivor of either house in the first Congress under our present Con- stitution. He received the honors of Har- yard University, Cambridge, in 1759, the year Wolf took Quebec. Judge Wingate, for some years, has been tue only one alive in his class and a number of classes succeed ing. For many years he was judge of the Superior Court of New Hampshire. In 1764 he married the sister of Timothy Pickering, three years younger than himself. They both, at the age of more than 97 and 94, are able to walk, and appear to enjoy life.
 A fortunate lnsarGnce Company.-On the first day of August last, the first policies is- sued by the Danvers MutwGl Fire Insurance Company for seven years expired, and it be- came necessary to balance the account of profit and loss for thatterm. The result was the whole premium paid. and twenty three and S5-1OOths per cent. on the same, was re- Company having met with one loss only, and that by lightning.-Salem Gaz.
