GEN. TUTTLE.-we had barely time
last week to announce the death Of Gen.
URIsE Turtle, of TOrringfOrd, in this
county, which took place on Wednesday
morning last. He had just completed
a bargain for pair Ofhorses, and turned
to go about some other business. when
he fell-and almost instantly expired. The
immediate cause of his death was dropsy
Of the heart. Gen. T. was a prominent
and highly esteemed citizen, and was the
Liberty candidate for Congress in this
district two years ago. His age was 20.

FOREIGNERS IN CALIFORNIA.

There is prospect Of serious collis-
ions between American citizens in Cali
fornia, and the foreigners who are flock
ing there from Mexico and the shores of
the Pacific. The proclamation of Gen.
Smith, warning off all foreign trcspass-
ers on the public lands of the United
States, had frightened many. and would
probably induce some to abandon their
projected expeditions; but great num-
bers, as we learn from various accounts,
were preparing to invade the gold re.
gion. in spite Of the threatened opposi.
ton of Americans. A correspondent Of
the Baltimore Patriot, who dates from
on board the steamship California, of
San Bias. Mexico, February l4th, ls49
writes that of about 400 passengers on
board, 60 were South Americans. HI
says:
"We learned at San Bias that the &C
counts from California have not been ex
,aggerated. A number of persons there
have been to the mines, and obtained
large quantities of gold. Three ship.
have left San Bias within as many weeks
crowded with Mexioans for the mines.
There are two or three others up, which
will start in day or two. We found
thirty Americans there awaiting the stea.
mer. but the captain refused 70 take
them. They endeavored to get pas
sage on the vessels going up from there
but were refused. notwithstanding they
offered to pay more than double the pric,

Vote for Governor.

We now have the vote for Governor
from all the towns in the State which
gives the following result:
For Joseph Trumbull 27,49S
" Thomas H. Seymour 25,ls0 .
John NJ. Niles 1924
In some dozen towns the Abolition
vote Is not given, so that the official re-
turns will probably increase The vote Of
Mr.. Niles to $500.
Mr.. Trumbuil leads Mr.. Seymour
2318. Gov. Bissell led Mr.. Catlin
last Spring, 2l52-sO the Wing plurali-
ty is now 1875 larger than it was then.
Mr.. Trumbull will lack about 1900 votes
of an election by the people. The fall
ing off in the whole vote from last Spring
is about 5000.
The whole vote for Governor in le48,
was 81, s2ss; Of which Mr.. Bissell had
3o,s51; MIR. Catlin $4,000; Abolition
and Scattering 1878.
The whole number of votes cast for
President, last November, was so, 1896 !;
for Gen. Taylor, so,sl6; for Gen. Cass,
27,O47; for Mr.. Van Buren,, 5OO3.

EVIL SPEAKING

That you may not speak i'll OF any,
do not delight to hear i'll of them
Give no coUntenance to busy bodies,
who are running from house to house
and love to talk of Other mems faults
Those who deligh. to hear i'll Of 9th
ers, will soon fall into the habit OF
speaking III of them. When busy
bodies run out of matter of fact, they
will soon resort TO conjecture andidle
stories TO please those who are fond
of hearing others spoken against.
Such characters are common nui-
sances, often destroy good neighbor-
hoods and the fellowship Of old
friends. If we endeavor in good
earnest to mind ourselves, we shall
find work enough, and but very little
time 10 talk tO others.

Representatives in Middletown.

A friend in Middletown writes as fol-
lows: ..~s
1--WE are in omething Of a fix about
our Representatives. Edwin Stearns will
receive a certificate Of election on the
fist day, and Earl Cooley on the second.
The facts are these. On Monday, 25l2
ballots were in the box, Is of which had
but one name on, Stearns had $50. Tie
Chairman declared there was no choice.
but that when the meeting adjourned, it
would be until Z o'clock the next morn
ing, for the choice Of two Representa-
tives. Three hours after, when nearly
all the voters had left, he changed his
mind at the suggestion OF Noah A.
Phelps, and said Mr.. Stearns was elect
ed, and that the election next day would
be for only one Representative. We re-
monstrated, but without effect, and in
the morning they refused our votes with
two names, threw them on the floor, but
finally, on the second sober thought,
picked them up and put them in the box,
and the chairman said he would receive
them but would count those with one
name, and at the close Of the meeting
counted such as follows; Earl Cooley
SIS, Benjamin Douglass 40, L. D. Van
sands 8, J. G.. Baldwin 8, Austin Bald
win 4, then they concluded toScount the
others, and found that Douglass and Van
sands had 275, Douglass and J. G. Bald
win IA, Douglass and E. Cooley /, and
5 others.
Now we claim that there was no
choice on the first day, and that Cooley
and Douglass having the highest number
Of votes are elected on the second day."
