/ RELIGIOUS COSvENTIoN.-At a recent re-
ligious convention at Buffalo, numerously at
tended by clergymen and distinguished laymen,
the due observance of Sunday was prominent
topic. Addresses were made by Rev. Dr.
Edwards and others. 1t was made known to
the convention that, in accordance with the
wishes of persons residing on that loute, the
Postmaster General had consented TO discontinue
the Sunday nails between Albany and Buffalo
And, it is understood that Sunday cars on that
( line will cease to run.
! No Sunday mail, it is believed, is now carri-
ed in any part Of New England. A large
number have, within a few years, been dis.
continued in other states, embracing lines
amounting in all, ii is said, to upward of eighty
thousand miles.
At this convention the following resolutions
were passed -
"Rcsolred, That we recognize with great

as well as duty, of keeping the Sabbath holy

Union heads the par graph making these i'm

We notice these stories of the Union, not be
cause there is one of our readers who does moi
know that they are wholly false, but TO show
how much dependence is to be placed in the
statements of Mr.. Folks organ. The same
paper contains political intelligence from other
parts of the Union, which is doubtless entitled
to Just as little confidence as the ridiculous false
hoods To which we have adverted. People in
other States believe them, and for people here
other stories equally false are manufactured,
and located in some distant part of the country.
These paragraphs are duly copied by the Loco
ioco papers, each selecting those which are
best calculated for its own meridian. No

DEATH BY DRowNING.-At Cape May, on

surf, having repaired to Cape May to promote
his recovery from a recent illness. lie was
bathing in company with his sister-n-law
Mrs. Wade. Mrs. w. being an excellent
swimmer, and somewhat daring, they yentur-
ed out too far, when the strength of the under
current lifted them off their feet. They be-
came alarmed and tried to 60 back, but finding
that they could not reach bottom with their
feet, they, by mutual consent, released their
hold of hands. MIS-. W., with admirable
presence of mind, threw herself upon her back
and foated with ease, but Mr.. p. being weak
and reduced from sickness, and being some
what alarmed, was unable to sustain himself.
lie was swept out by the current and soon
lost. Mrs. Wade hoatcd out some distance
before the surf boats could be got out to her
rescue, as everything on the beach was thrown
into an uproar and confusion by the scene.-
She was at length picked up by a surf boat,
although in an insensible state, notwithstanding
she was still floating. Mr.. Pearse's body was
not recovered
Another account says that Mr.. Pearse was
alarmed by seeing Mrs. Wade apparently in
danger, and was swimming 10 her aid when he
became exhausted and went down. Mr.
