Young .Men, Bescare !-Mr. Potter, of Yale College, in temperance address lately at New Haven, says: "My heart bleeds as I remember the fate o, three of my early companions who started in life with myself One of them possessed the fin est mathematical mind ever knew. He would take the Ledger and go up,with three columns at a time with perfect ease He was the first man in America that beat the Automaton Chess Player, and he told me that he had every move in his head before he entered the room. That man fills a drunkard's grave. Another, who was an excellent accountant, and could command almost any salary, met the same melancholy fate. Another, possess ing the same brilliant capacities, has gone down, not to the grave, perhaps, but he is sunk clear out of sight, amid the mire and filth of intemperance" "

ao-Henry A. Mitchell, Esq, formerly editor of the Hartford Times, but more recently of Stamford, has received an appointment i:l the Boston Custom House. The office to owhich he has been appointed is the one lately filled by MT. Holbrook, formerly of the Patriot and Eagle. The Stamford Advocate thus takes leave ot MT. Mitchell:
 Prouided fc1.-We are happy to learn, from the highest odthority, that our neighbor Henry A. Mitchell Esq. has finally been provided for by the i Democracy. He has devoted body and soul to the cause, and received nothing but an occasional crumb from the public crb--while he has shook the bush the greedy cormorants around him have snarped up all the fruit. Now, as he was just expiring with disappointment, relief has come. He is to be forthwith transplanted from our soil to the Custom House in Boston, where he Is to receive salary of $1 ,500 per annum. In this removal, ''the democ- racy of this region loses pet; the Fairfield Coun- ty Bar distinguished brother; and sce the grind stone upon which we sharpen our political editori- als. We wish him safe transition to his new berth, and hope he may enjoy until Polk is poked out of the Presidential Chair.

LsPhaIet A. Bufkley, fof East Haddam, to the office of Assistant School Fund Commissioner, made vacant by the resigna- tion of Francis Parsons, Esq. The selection Is creditable to the judgment of his Excelency. A lawyer of very high standing. practical business man and an experienced fnancier, and above all gentleman of the strictest integrity, the people of Connecticut have reason to rejoice that MT. B. has consented to serve them as one of the guardi- ans of their invaluable School Fund. The Middletown Constitution thus notices the appointment:
 We learn that the Governor in the performance of the duty assigned him by the resolution of the General Assembly, of filling the vacancy occasion ed by the resignation of Francis Parsons Esq, and its acceptance to take effect on the 1st of Juy has appointed Hon: Eliphalet A. Bulkley (now Presi- dent of the East Haddam Bank) Assistant Com missioner of the School Fund. Judge Bulkley IS extensively known through the State as gentle man of high integrity and unquestionea ability and discretion. He has repeatedly represented the town of East Haddam in the House of Representa- lives, and he has also represented the 18th District in the Senate of the State, of both which branches he was a conspicuous member. As sound and a. ble lawyer and discreet and prudent manager of the interests conded to his care, he has long been tavorably known in the county of Mddlesex, and we doubt not that by his fidelity in the discharge of the duties of the Office of Assistant Commissioner he will satisfy the expectations of the public, and justify the confidence reposed in him by the Gov ernor. r..s r-
