SENATOR FRENCH.

The last Sentinel contains very foolish
attack upon Mr.. French, our candidate for
Senator. 1t Is copied from that vcracious
and careful print, the Montpelier Patriot
The substance Of the thing is that Mr.. French
was awiully used up, nothing but grease
spot left Of him, by Mr.. Bartlett of Calcdo-
MA on the "NIctory contested election case.
Now, the unlucky part of this attack is, that
tits totaiiytaisc. Mr.. Bartlett did not speak
at any length, after Mr. French had spoken
upon the question. The ingenious speech
of MIR. Bartlett upon that question was be-
gun in the afternoon of one day and concln-
dcd IN the forenoon Of the next lie was
replied 10 by Mr., Dana of Rutland in an able
speech, aud after Mc>srs. Dana, Bartlett,
Dillinghamand others had spoken Mr.. French
addressed the Senate on the question, Mr..
Bartlett dttcrwardS said in a few words that
he deemed triumphant reply might be
made to the arguments of Mr. French, and
that he did not think hIs own arguments and
those of Mr. Dillingham; had been relued by
Mr.. +. but that as the Senate seemed impa-
tent to take the vote, he wouid not go into
a reply. This is all there is, of the awful
using up referred 10 by the mendacious Pat
riot. Mr.. Bartlett Is a gentleman, and man
of talents, undoubtedly, and we will warrant
he would be the last TO sanction SO empty
and false brag in his favor.
The suprcmcIyil at and stale comment OF
the Sentinel upon this "Patriot"-ic falSehood
is altogether too small for notice.

ter in the Boston Transcript.

ter in the Boston Transcript.
4 circumstance occurred here dav before
yesterday, quite extraordinary, and is there
fore the lion Of conversation. 4 horse was
seen from an elevation between the Clifton
House and the road leading to the Burning
Spring, swimming from Navy Island on the
Canada side, toward III, opposite shore.
Strange and impossible as it may seem, be-
ing powerful animal ii is supposed, he sue
cepdcd in reaching Grass Island, more than
two thirds the way across the Niagara rtv-
cr. This was accomplished b. having start
cd high up-So that diagonal line enabled
the bold adycnturor to plant his hooiS on that
iutle patch OF terra Iirma, Green Island, a
narrow strip of grass that peeps out of tie
water but short distance above Goat ISL
and.
After feeding awhile and therefore attract
ing a still larger number of wonder struck
spectators, he seemed to survey the mighty
exhibition Of fury around, and again plun ed
into the ressteSS currrnt-eihcr intending
to return or touch upon the American side
for horses think, aye, and reason too, but
the rushing waters, like an army of hungry
tigers, whirled the poor beast hiher and
thiher, and onward too, SO that Just as he
reached the first rapid, nothing but his head
could be now and then observed above the
angiy pillows. Before conf q to the mag
niGcent cataract, toward the middle of the
descent, i, was quite certain life was extinct
| Over went the carcase, which was soon dis
covered by those below at the ferry, where

MIR VAN BUREN'S VISIT TO THE HERMITAGE.
The friends Of the venerable patriot OF the Hermit
age cannot but rejoice that he has lived to have OF
the frs, wishes OF his heart of welcoming
his friend and coaborer in the tolls of his admi

has repeatedly expressed the pleasure he anticipated
from this long promised visit; and glad 10 learn
from Nj. Van Ruren's letter, which publish in our
columns, that he has found his faculties unmpaired by
age and his health in condition to enable him to ex-
tend all the rights of hospitality, which we have no
doubt, was TO him the highest enjoyment.
General Jackson, it from the Wing papers, at
tended Mr. Van Buren, 10 Nashville From private let
ers, we learn that the fatigue to which he submitted,
buoyed up by excitement, almost proved too much for
his strength He was overcome BY fainting feeling,
which detained him few days at Nashville, and gave
rise to rumor that he was seriously ndisposed We
are happy to hear however, that he sufficiently re-
covered TO return 10 the Hermitage,
