RETURNED TO DTE.-Under this caption We re.
ferred, week or two since, to the circumstances
attending the death, at the abroad depot, OF MIR.
Isaac w. Lewis, a returned Californian, of this
place. Mr.. Lewis was accompanied on his jour
ney home by Mr.. George Bartlett, resident of
this place. who had been to California some three
years. Bartlett being mentally as well as phys.
cally incapacitated by paralytic stroke, was
kindly cared for by Mr.. Lewis on the returning
deprived of his protector by the sudden demise Of
Mr.. Lewis, greatly debiiitated in body and mind,
in the darkness Of the night, he set out for the resi-
dence of his father, near berkshire bridge. The
family were on the point OF retiring, when Mr..
Bartlett the elder was called to the door by some
one endeavoring to gain admttance. The signs
and broken words Of the stranger-for such disease
and suffering had rendered him-were understood
to express desire to remain in the house all night
Mr. Bartlett, having at home daughter seriously
ill, was compelled to refuse the applicant, and
parture, the invalid daughter, sister of the re-
turned son, who had overheard the interview. re-
marked to her father that the voice Of the stranger
reminded her of her absent brother, and requested
that he might be recalled. In compliance with her
request the father stepped to the door and called
to him by the christian name of his son, whom he
supposed to be in California. This was instantly
replied to; hope was rekindled; the wanderer was
brought back; a closer scrutiny confirmed the sus-
picons of the sister, and the unhappy son and bro
lher. testfying his joy by signs and looks, laid
ing in this case to hardly more than insinct-had
sustained the sufferer to the threshold of the paer
nal roof, when exhausted nature gave way, and
after short illness, death closed the scene. VeTi.

MECHANICAL PURPosEs.-The saving clause in
the liquor law, which allows town agents to sell
the "critter" for medicinal and mechanical pur-
poses, is sometimes, we opine, liable to be pretty
well stretched in fact, 90 much SO as to include
all the common ailments of body and every de-
partment of labor. The last instance which We
have heard Of the sale of liquor for mechanical
purposes is told of the city agent in Worcester,
who is very honest and upright dispenser of tine
contraband article Several young lads in that
city, anxious to obtain some brandy, dubbed to-
gether, and delegated particularly honest-look-
ing newsboy to obtain the liquor as best be might
giving him the funds. The boy entered the store,
laid down his money beside his honest looking
brown jug, and asked for a quart OF brandy The
purchaser looking SO simply honest, and calling
for the article in such regular, business sort of
way, the agent, without hesitation, put up the
brandy and deposited the money in the drawer.
The boy. started for the door,, when the agent
thought it might be well to inquire the destination
of the contraband goods, and he asked in an al
frmative manner, :" suppose you want that for
mechanical purposes?" "Yes, sir,'' said the boy,
80 promptly that the vigilant State agent be-
thought him to inquire what mechanical purpose.
The boy looked the agent steadily in the eye, and
placing his thumb to his nose, accompanying the
same with the usual digital gyratons, replied,

A FORTUNE IN SEARCH FOR ITS OwNER.-A late
number of the St. Louis MOI InteLligencer con-
,ains the following:
GA communication has been received by Mr..
Gamble, postmaster of this city, from Dublin, Ire
land asking information of one Herbert Baldwin
who was in this city in lS4l, since which time nc
tidings have been received from him. The COM
munication states that by the death of his father
he has fallen heir to an estate worth twenty thou
sand pounds"

The Union is very much incensed because
some WING paper has said that under our in
situations ''many men who are utterly desti-
tute of the requisite qualifications aspire, and
are often elevated, to political Office"
"The insolence Of such doctrine"-the
Union adds-"applied to our free institutions
might be excusabe in a European, but it dis
graces any man who pretends to be an Ameri-
can"
This is capital All the DEMOCRATIC jour
nails in the country protested thousand times
that General HARRISON was "utterly destitute
of the requisite qualifications" for the Presi-
dency. The people thought differently, and
elevated him to that high station. The De-
mocracy still insisted that General HARRISON
was utterly destitute" as aforesaid, and con.
tinue to say so to the present day.
All the DEMOCRATIC journals in like manner
protested that General TAYLOR was "utterly
destitute of the requisite qualifications for the
Presidency" They continue to maintain this
dogma There is not a DEMOCRATIC journal
that will not maintain stoutly that Genera
hiLOh "oo uteSiiJ oSo'soso oA Oil tho 10
quisite qualifications for the Presidency"
So they all insist that General Soorr is
"utterly destitute" in the same manner and
form as they insist in regard to General HAIR.
R1soN and General TAYLOR. So when Gen
eral Scorr is elected President, as he certainly
will be, they will continue to aver that he is
utterly destitute of all the requisite quaifca
tons for the post.
We have entire confidence in the good sens,
and gratitude of the American People to secure
the election of General SCoTr, and we confid,
in his prudence, judgment, experience, an,
liberal information, as the guaranty Of his wis,
and successful administration of affairs wher
he is placed at the head Of the Government
1t cannot be that our people will forget hi
illustrious services of half century, or fail t.
| testify their continued confidence in his unsul
lied honor and elevated integrity.
