Locofoco Mass MeetiRS.-The Locofocos
of "Old Fairfeld' had n grand rally, or as
If turned out, grand fizzle in our city to-
day. About three hundred strangers present.
At ] past II o'clock grand procession,
consisting Of TEN VOTERS and Seoenty-t'cO''cGn-
ds.s,,ekcrs, ''marched down Main and up Jail
streets, and thence to the Hickory Pole,
where they treated the little hopefuls to beer
and cendy. Itis said that the identical boy,
20 whom Gen. Pierce gave the cent to buy
candy, was present to testify to the Generals
hospitality. The leaders were evidently
much disappointed; and when we consider
the pains they took in distributing 'doublc-
pOstcrs,n and the "two-column" appeal
which has appeared in the Eagle for the past
three weeks, TO call out the crank and file,' :
it is matter of no wonder. The fact is
gentlemen, you went little too far, whcl
you raised your Tag against the old herr
who has for forty years successfully main
tained the honor of his country and carric'
her flag in triumph through many har'
fought battle, to gain the appreciation OF tn
American people.
The speeches were made up Of old, stall
stuff, giving not word of promise, nor
reason for hope, to the Laboring Millions
no friendly and cheering assurance to tn
cause Of Home Manufactures, Internal lm
provcments, the American Farmer an
Home Markets. All was the other way.

NORTON PETERS, of Missouri, recently
made a handsome speculation by driving
sheep over land to Cal fornia. He started
with 2,5OO sheep, and at Salt Lake he shear
ed them and sold the wool for $4,000. On
reaching California with 1000 ofthem in
good condition, he was offered eighteen dol
lars head for the lot, which he refused, be-
ing sure Of a higher price

AN ITEM.-The Wing State Convention
which met at Concord New Hampshire, last
week, adopted the following among other
resolutions:
Resolved, That we believe it to have been
the design of the founders of the Govern
ment, to make America the asylum of the
oppressed, but never to the subversion of its
distinctive character-thati it be the refuge
alike from religious and political oppression,
and that within its limits civil privileges
should DC unabridged by religious opinions:-
THEREFORE, WE, THE WHIGS OF
NEW.HAMPSHIRE, ARE AS WE AL
WAYS HAVE BEEN, DECIDEDLY IN
FAVOR OF BLOTTING THE RELIC
IOUS TEST FROM OUR STATE
CONSTITUTION.

SINGULAR CoMPANloNsHIP.-The Buffalo
Commercial relates u curious fact il natural
history developed at the American Hotel in
that city. family, having rooms in that
hotel, lately left town for n few weeks. On
their return they found that mouse was in
the habit Of constantly visiting the cage OF a
canary bird which had remained in the room
during their absence, having taken the OPP
portunity offormng the acquaintance during
the unusual stiffness of the apartment. To
the surprise of the family it was found that
the mouse had been taking lessons in sing
ing of its musical friend, and would constant
y give forth notes in exact imitation of the
canary's tones, but low and sweet. The lit
tie creature now visits the cage nightly
cats of the seed, and cndeavors by singing
to excite the attention and call forth the
notes of tho bird.

PUKcTUALITY.-Ah, that's the word-
punctuality! Did you ever see a man who
was punctual who did not prosper in the
long run! We don't care who or what he
was-high or low, black or white, ignorant
or learned, savage or civilized-who know
thatifhe did as he agreed and was punctual
in all his engagements, he prospered.

Germans, which met at Wheclins OH the

ChippaOa ClEb.-Last evening William
P. CREED, Esq, addressed the Club in an
able and eloquent speech. He handled the
Veto question in mastery manner, clearly
showing, to every unpreiudiced mind, how
dangerous and anti-republican was its un-
limited use and unless restricted in the hands
of the Executive the inevitable certainty Of
its converting our Republic into an Elective
Monarchy. He said it had been made the
instrument by which partizan Presidents
whenever an act of the Representatives OF
thePeope did not coincide with their personal
views, to Illustrate the advancement OF meas
ures which were National in their character
and benefited the DohoLe people; and that
Gen. Pierce, If elected, was pledged to Veto
every appropriation that Congress might
deem proper to make for the advancement o.
our Western States in the way of lnterna
Improvements. He spoke from TIE book, ant
challenged a successful contradiction; bu
no Locofoco present was fool-hardy enougl
to deny the truth of his assertions. He clear
ly demonstrated the absolute necessity Of th
National Government carrying on Internu
improvements where they were general 0
national in character, as the only means G
developing the latent and pparentresource
Of every portion of our country. His Who'll
speech was one of the most manly, digniie
and eloquent appeals we have ever lstene
to. The audience was cnchaincd, delighted
electrified.

HALE's ACcEPTANcE.-John p. Hale has
accepted the nomination of the Free Democ-
racy, in formal letter. He accounts for
his refusal to accept the Pittsburg Conven-
ton nomination in anticipation, on the
ground that his "wife and children"were op-
posed to it. He refuses to make any pledg-
es as to his conduct, and ct the close gives a
mortal click back" at John VanBuren. He
says:
81 could hardly hope to come up to the
standard of those made by men prominent
in our ranks four years ago, but which have
been since forgotten and trampled upon by
those who made them, in their hot haste to
enroll themselves under banner upon
which are inscribed sentiments and princi-
pies seven fold more odious and abomnable
than those against which they have rcvol-
ted"
6TEdward Stanley, of N. c., seems tc
have been as entire stranger TO Frank
Pierce as Tom Marshall who recently re.
marked:
"They tell me Mr.. Pierce was member
OF Congress when was. 1t may be, but il
he was never knew it."
In a late spcech at Trenton, N. j., Mr.. S
said he had been in Congress for four years
with Pierce, and although he had a pretty
extensive acquaintance, he never knew such
man as Pierce! The services of Gen
Pierce, said he, like a parenthess in sen
tence, may be left out Of the history Of this
country without injuring the sense.
New York AND THE Pork TRApE.-Thc
extent to which the pork trade is carried on
in Cincinnati, and the enormous sums that
have been realized by it, has frequently
been made the subject of comment. Lat.
tcrally an idea has been gaining ground with
some New Workers, that this trade, or al
least a portion of it, might be transferred
to that city Already, the firm of Var
Brunt g. Watrous have erected large pack.
ing establishment near the foot of 18th
street, on the North river, at an expense o
about $4,000. The arrangements will ad.
nit of the slaughter of 1000 hogs daily
The buildings cover eight lots, and work.
men broke ground on Tuesday for the ercc'
ton of an additional one, to be go by 80 feet
and four stories high. The grounds include
20 lots, and are principally covered by pens
capable of holding 10000 hogs. When in
full operation, the present works employ
60 men. A large number of hogs have al
ready been sent forward by Western drorers
to be killed and packed there.

MONEY PAID TO INprANs.--At recent
meeting of the American Board of Missions
it was stated that since 1889 the United
States had paid to the Indians in money $685.
274,S77; in lands $7l,04l,723, making an
aggregate of SlO6, 900, 1000; SO that the whites
have not, as is generally charged, robbed
them of their lands, and driven them from
their homes, without some equivalent.

ATTEMpT TO AssAssINATE LOUIS Ma
PoLEoN.-The New York Commercial has
been favored with the following extract from
letter receivedby the Africa, from mcr-
camille American gentleman, resident in
Paris:
"An attempt was made some three days
ago to assassinnte Louis Napoleon, on his
way from st. Cloud. An individual fired q
nusket shot at him from trench or the
route, and the ball grazed his left shoulder.
Seeing that he failed in his attempt, the
assassin Immediately blew out his own
brains. The journals have been prohibited
from speaking of the matter"
A PUNcTUAL MAN.--The editor of the
Marlboro (Md) Gazette, in noticing the
death Of Mr.. William Wells, Of George, al
old citizen orthat county, says:
eve could not better illustrate his char
ncter for punctuality that by stating the fact
that for fifteen gears he paid for his Gazette
in adUdnce--and although he lived four miles
from town, his paper was never known, in
all that time, to remain in the Office an hour
beyond the day Of its publication"
