8 have been discovered dead and q
have been brought to the city alive, by
the agents of the Board of Governors.
We heard at Morrisania sad tales of the
condition of some OF these children.
They are mostly foundIings, and large
majority are believed to have been taken
from New York. One woman declares
she has taken $50 in ten months. The
bodies which have been discovered, were
found in state of advanced decompo>
stion, so that identification or investipa-
ton is now quite impossible though it
is evident the age could in no instance
have been greater than last year.
Suspicion was first aroused on We'd
nesday last by the circumstance of la
borer named Riley questioning the work.
men at new depot erecting at MorrisS-
mia, regarding certain bodies which, ne
averred, were buried in the grounds ats
tacEed to the Asylum. This informa>
ton, 1t appeared, was derived from the
man by whom the bodies were buried.
The intelligence was news to the good
people Of Morrisania, who had before
suspected nothing.
On Wednesday the grounds were
probed, and the existence of collins sat-.
isfactorily demonstrated. All traces Of
the graves had been sedulously conceal
ed the depth Of each being very in
considerable, and the surface again made
perfectly level. Concealnsent was man.
ifestly aimed at. The neigh deter
mined to bring the matter before the
Grand Jurv, but that body had adjourn
ed; whereupon coroner's inquest was
summoned by Coroner Huntington. The
inquest was in session for considerable
time yesterday, but the results Of the in
vestlg alton were insufficient to justify
the direct lnculpation of Mrs. Shotwell.
We learn that the whole matter will
be brought before the Grand Jury of
Westminster County at its next sitting
early in October, when a thorough in
vestigation will be made. The Coro-
ner's Jury rendered the simple verdict
that seven of the children came to their
death by various diseases and one by
i, causes TO them unknown.
AN further investigation will therefore
be suspended, TO await the action of the
Grand Jury. There is certainly some-
thing remarkable at the bottom.-N. Y,

Still Another Robbery.

Another theft was committed at Yer
sennes, on Wednesday evening-the night
OF the Fair-at Everest's hotel. The ar
ticlcs stolen were, $50 in money, an over
coat, gold ring and breast pin, and pair
Of boots.
p. Son Saturday, one of The thieves
concerned in all the above transactions was
arrested in Cornwall, and most Of the
stolen money was found on him, viz, SOL
belonging 10 MIR. Hngar, and $3l 10 Mr..
Slearns, bunch Of keys belonging to Mr..
Lnrour, and ring, breast pin, &C., stolen
from Everest's ho'el, in Vergennes. He
is now in Jail al this place. The principal
villain is still at large, though we have
reason TO expect he will soon be taken
The thief arrested is only about 7 or is
years old, and lived with Mr.. lIagar for a
short time, year or two since. His state
ments respecting the robbery, we do moi
think ii best 10 repeat AT present.

The RUTLAND Rail RoAD.-The I'm
ion Whig has long article, showing that
tie present price of the stock of this road
is below its true value, and is kept down
by combinations of brokers. The Whig
contends that the receipts for August, de-
Quoting expenses, will amount 10 over nine
per cent per annum on the present value
of the stock, and draws glowing, but, we
think, just picture of its future prospects.
The Vermont Rail Roads are sure, not
only to be great public conveniences, but
TO pay their stockholders hsndsomely.-

II Editorial intelligence in England is any
thingbut cosmopolitan, and commits the most
udicrous blunders respecting men and things in
this country. The following specimen from
the Athenoum, one of the foremost Of English

ncighbor of the Tribune is certainly indebted to
the enlightened London critic for first rate
notice.
" Hint, Ttwdrds Ret@m-By Horace Gruby
Mr. Horace Gruby is name beginning to be
heard on this side the Atlantic. In his own
country he is well and honorably known as n
man of lctiers-the son-in law Of Bryant, and
editor Of high'class paper in New York.
The "Hints" now published consists of a num-
Der of lectures, essays aud orations, somewhat
in the manner OF his countrymen, but with few
CIR OF their faults. Organization of labor" il
we may take Mr. Gruby as sample of his or
der, is making progress in the United States
as, indeed, it is in our own country, faster than
they who do not infinitely watch the tenden-
cies Of opinion are at all aware On the whole,
we have read Mr.. Gruby's orations with pleas
ure. Their literary merits are unequal, but
there is always a mine Of good sense and wise
counsel in ihem."-N Y Courier g. Enquirer

RAILROAD ACCIDENT. The night train

About the same instant, we became conscious
of a considerable conclusion in the forward
car, where we sat, but the train was stopped
without the slightest injury to any person
The engine was partially thrown oil the
track by the shock, one wheel cast Off and
some slight damage done. One of the hor-
ses was crushed beneath the cars,-one foo
having been caught between the brake AM
one of the wheels by which ho was dragged
several rods, and literally torn in pieces
The other horse had sprung away just il
time, leaped over the fence, and disappear

and after an hour or two Of delay, anothe
engine came from Ferrisburgh, which tool
the train safely through. The escape wa
fortunate, as we were passing over an en-
bankment, from which an irregular desce'
would not have been particularly pleasant
The horses had jumped out of their pastnr

selves in this dangerous position.

GENESIS OF THE GERRYMANDER.-m
1911, when MIR. Gerry was Governor of
the Commonwealth, the Legislature made
a new division of the districts for the
elections Of Representatives to Congress.
Both branches had then Democratic
majority. For the purpose of securing
Democratic Representative, an absurd
and singular arrangement of towns in the
county of Essex was made to compose a
District. Russell took map of the coun-
~, and designated by particular color
ing the towns thus selected. He then
hung the map on the wall of his editorial
closet. One day, Gilbert Stuart, the eel
ebrated painter, looked at the map and
said the towns which Russell had thus
distinguished, formed picture resem.
bling some monstrous animal, He took
pencil. aud with few touches, added
what might be supposed to represent
claws. There" said Stuart, "that will
do for salamander. " Russell. who was
busy with his pen, looked up nj the hid
cous figure, aud exclaimed, "Salamander
call it Gerrymander." The word became
