One day last week the smaller of the
two elephants lately exhibited in this
city, made his escape and swan across
the Delaware, landing near the Brandy
wine. The appearance Of so unsual an
animal at first caused much alarm. He
was however, finally secured by build
ing fence around him, having previ-
ously resisted all attempts to drive him
to stable.-Bah. Amer.

Pork. little enquiry begins
to be made amongst the farmers as to
the probable price of Pork at the ap-
preaching season. We have now and then
heard of offers of four dollars per humid
red. The price finally agreed on will
doubtless depend on the course to be
adopted by the banks in relation to an
early resumption Of specie payments.

THE MURDER IN RoCHEsTER.--O Bar
ron, one ofthe young men accused OF the
murder of Mr.. Lyman, has had an exam
inatiou, which resulted in his commttal
for trial. The Democrat says, the tes-
timony adduced clearly warranted his
commitment. The examination Of T..
Bennett, p. Fluett, and ]. Pagan, arres-
ted on the same charge, was postponed
iorafew days. According to the Demo
crat the facts adduced are perfectly as
founding. A more remarkable train of
circumstaces-harmoniously linked to-
gether, and so rapidly brought to light
were perhaps never before presented.
The young men arrested, were known
frequenters of those bests of cities and
communities, Gambling Hells." The
citizens of Rochester are aroused on the
subject Of abating the muisances in that
city. A cleansing process is much nee
ded in all our commercial towns. These
"hells" are the hot-beds which nurture
much of the crime newspaper annalists
are daily called on to record. The heart
sickens at the fearful increase the past
summer. Self preservation demands
that community should take decisive
steps to suppress and root out these dens
of infamy and vice. The laws must be
vigorously enforced. A small beginning
was made at the late session of the Court
of Common Pleas in this city.--One per-
son was fined for keeping roulette an
other forfeited his recognizance. Let
the officers of justice be vigilant--the
friends of good order will sustain them

Many of the steamboats, upon the lake are
laying up. Business is becoming dull, and

The Emperor of Russia by an I'M
perial decree has made levee of a.
bout 1000 young women on the ancient
provinces of Poland to be sent to the
Russian camp, to serve as cooks and
wash women to the soldiers. The .ex-
aspcration of the parents of the drafted
victims, is, as may well be believed, raj
sed to high pitch, as they cannot but
foresee the inevitable destruction of their
innocent children.

MAUMEE EXPRESS.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1887.
To Alpheus S. Greene, Esq. Postmaster Of
IYnterio,pn NJ Y


Sir:-You being the proprietor of the "Ea-
gle and Standard which paper has attemp-
ted a "by authority" answer to charge made
by us against you on the 7th ult., you will ex-
cuse us from taking any notice of the misera-
Bile toad eater, who has demeaned himself to
become your shadow on that occasion, and
rather than to the tool that has degraded him
self to do your dirty work. And now sir, had
we followed the advice of the honest hearts
and sound heads" of those who know you " in
Maunee," we should have refrained from ta-
king any further notice of you, Or of your pro-
ceedings but feeling that man who has the
control of the columns of public journal, is
endued with Fictitious consequence in the
minds of the public, to which, in your case at
least, his own character as man does not
entitle him, we have concluded to follow our
suggestions, believing, as we do, that the pitch
of mental degradation to which delinquent
has arrived, is no criterion for the need OF
public Justice to which he is entitled.
We charged you with embezzling our pa
pers, and neglecting to deliver them to those
to whom they were directed, when they were
called for. You do not deny it, but endeavor
to screen yourself under the declaration, that
we /" have no regular subscribers who receive
their papers at the post Office in that village.
This is not true, and evenifit were, you have
no official act to perform, as based upon such
a state of facts, even if it were within youl
knowledge. Your duty is to deliver our pa
pers to those to whom they are directed, OF
to apprze us if they are refused. For youl
information, however, we would inform you
that we have sent no papers to Watertown
which have not been ordered, and that we
have sent package to the post Office, direct
ed +" Watertown, Jefferson County, N. "
eyery week since this paper has been estab
lished. In your remarks, we can see no rea
son to withdraw our charge, on the contrary
we believe they contain evidence of its truth
They contain proof of an obhquity OF mora
vision, which is too nearly allied 10 Sq"""WS
to be tolerated in public officer. Recollect
sir. that YOU are post master, and not a cen
sor of the press Or at least, OF no press pu
that of the Eagle and Standard. You have
neither the talents nor the power to become
iudcious corrector of tine public morals. lie
collect that it is sinful and dishonest to purloll
newspaper, and recollect, that you nov
stand in the situation of a man charged witt
an offence which he dare not deny, nor ans
wcr in any way, other than to heap abuse up
on the accuser. RecoIect, too, that it il
yourself that is charged, and not the democ
racv. mthe administration, republican princi
ples. the constitution, nor the laws"

SENATOR BATEs.-It appears from state
ment in the, Tifin Gazette, that Mr.. Bates
cannot be entitled to seat in the Senate, be-
ing Ineligible, from the fact, that he has not
resided in this district for two years preceding
his election, according to the provisions ol
the Constitution.
The Gazette says,
"For several years previous and on the
18th OF October 1885, Mr. Bates was
not resident in his now Senatorial Dis
trict, but lived in the county OF Seneca
and was a candidate for county office
in said county at the general election
held on the 18th Of October 1885, ne re-
mainedin Seneca County, until the Can
vass Of said election; and some weeks
thereafter moved out of said county, In
the district where he now resides, and
where on The 10th of October 1887, he
was candidate for the Senate"

SnK.-The New York Gazette thus
notices some specimens exhibited at
the late Fair of the American Institute.
We were shown a collection of silks
from the Hartford Silk Company,
consisting of specimens in that most val
liable and interesting culture and manu-
facture which interested US very much.
We here see the whole process, from
the mulberry leaf TO the finest fabric
This silk has been made from the leaves
of the Brus a mulberry brought by
Charles Rhine Esq. from Turkey. The
trees are four years old and have lived
through the last winter along side Of the
moruS multlcauliS, &c. which all died
from the effects of the weather. The
cocoons and the raw silk and the man.
ufacturers from it are magnificent, apd
fully prove the practibility of this inn
portant branch Of industry. The silk
made by this company is not only the
very strongest texture, but it is pure,
free from the artificial weight given to it
by preparation in colorng.
The Hartford Company is interesting
on other account. The state Of Connec-
ticut Incorporated it, and granted 49,
600 dollars towards its objects, upon
condition that $4,000, more should be
raised by the company. The project
was likely to fall through, and would
have done so but for the patriotic exer-
tions Of Christopher Colt, Esq. who act
ually took all the 1900 shares but 4s
We most heartily wish success to the
enterprise, and we believe, indeed, that
it is secured.
A Quaker Weaver from Spitalfelds,
London, who has come to this country
for the purpose of establishing his beau
tiful manufacture, exhibits some speci-
cimens of silk weaving that excel any
thing of the kind we ever saw, land among
the rest, some figured webs, represent.
ing Penn's treaty with the Indians, and
the "Judgment of Brutus." Nothing
can be more rich than some OF these spe
cimens, or more ingenious in the fabri-
cation--all done by machinery of his
own invention. He has other beautiful
articles, but, we have no time to partic-
ularize. His name is John ShoN, and he
richly deserves encouragement.
