The Purchase of Nev lMer;co. = III

The Purchase Of Neso Merico. - The

show that the territories OF New Mex

and the indemnity paid for the territory
acquired. Besides which we have the
following statistics of the loss of human
life in the war - The number Of deaths
returned by the officers of the army IS
IL, SIS; $40 were discharged for
disability. of whom half have died, say
4,874; 1920 men were mustered into
service during the war, and 50,573
were mustered out of the residue,
amounting to 22,6s7--2o. O72 were re-
turned as dead, discharged or deserted.
and the difference 26l5, are supposed to
be dead; of those mustered out of SER
vice it is estimated that 10 per cent, or
5,l14, have since died thus making
in the aggregate, loss Of 25,4sl

The Maniac and Locomotive.

"When they came to it they found a
man trying to rebuild the FIRE. and the
water and cinders splashing over him
and the engine. 1t seems that crazy
men, hailing from New Hope. Pa, had
come here from Bordentown on Monday
evening and had returned in the same
train. Some time during the night, or
early in the morning, this mailman had
gone to the engine, kindled fire. put
on one Of the pumps which had been
taken off, and not finding the oil, had
melted tallow, with which he CREASED all
the apparatus, and putting onthe steam.

creased lightning The engine had
been managed very well. as it was not at
all injured but it is supposed he did
not know how TO back it when it got in
the switches here, which were locked. L.
We understand he must have passed
one or two switches before reaching this
station. He said he took the engine to
see how fast it might be made TO GO
He was taken back to Bordentown,
and thence sent TO his friends. His es-
cape from destruction was very lucky
for him."

NeAmong the rumors from Washing

Collier, late member of Congress, and
Comptroller of the State of New York,
will receive foreign appointment from

is the following. One day lie went to

commenced with a view of acquiring
more Save territory. and thereby to rem

RE- The Albany Evening Journal IN
derstands that the Directors Of the CT.
State Prison have unanimously rendered
the appointment of Warden Of that In
stitution to Capt Pillsbury. the Super
intendent Of the Penitentiary at that
place. When such a report is officially
annouaced. we shall believe it, but not
5efore, The Journal is of tho opinion
that he can't be sp ,red from the post he
now occupies. We think the Albanians
sho,@d keep him by all means but i
they must give him up. they may coma
