break into it, he jumped his horse from
a portco down, plunged into the Hud.
son, swan to the opposite shore and
rode through the wilds Of New Jersey to
the Delaware, opposite New Castle.
That river he crossed in a ferry boat
and his exhausted horse-whicb the
painting shows as he reached the Della
ware, bleeding at the nostrils and in the
tanks died on the shore. The por-
trait shows the old Col. TO have becu a
man ofdecislon and daring. His original
grant on the Manor was some II. 600
acres, of which Geo. w. Oldham still
owns 1900. We shall be pleased some

SUNDAY School EXHlglTIoN.-We
had time last week barely to mention
that an exhibition, which reflected credit
on those engaged in it, took place in the
Methodist church in this town on Christ
mas night. We were struck with the
delivery of tie opening address, by
Master Charles NJ. Ellis, a most inter-
sting lad Of dozen wears, as well as by
tie aGdc"S, Itself. It was a most appio-
PIRATE one, and the little on tor perform
ed his ra:t SO DIS to defy criticism. We
take from il the following extract which
show some Of the statistics of the school:
Ger school during the rost year, has
fully maintained its previous r"puta-
ton, and we believe its prosperity and
usefulness are on the increase. The
number of scholars remain about one
hundred. The number of teachers,
male and female, twenty; besides the
Superintendent and Librarian. The
number Of volumes in our Library is
about 1lo. The proceeds Of the last
Christmas celebration were appropria-
ted TO the increase Of the Library; and,
through the liberality of our kind teach
ers, recent additions have been made, of
valuable books Of instruction; by the use
of which, we are enabled to acquire
more accurate knowledge of the Bible,
and to study its sacred pages more I'M
derstandingly. Our Missionary Socie-
ty is still in successful operation. Last
year, up 10 the month OF April, from the
time Of its organization, being only
about six months, we raised and for
warded by our pastor to the parent So
ciety, forthe Oregon Mission the sum
of fifty doll"rs; and this year We hope to
do much better"
Nor can we forbear printing the fol-
lowing appeal:
"And now, kind parents and friends,
what shall |, what need | say to you, to
awaken in your breasts, substantial in
terest in behalf o! our School Can
words be necessarily Can appeals to
your feelings be required to stimulate
you to the support OF an institution
which has for its object the religious ed
ucation OF :, our children, in commu-
nlty where vice and immortality are
constantly spreading their nets TO en-
trap the unwary and to lead the young
astray. Far be it from me to speal;
harshly or unjustly of my own native
village. 1t will doubtless compare hon
oraby with others-but we connot close

INAw.-The rains of Tuesday night
and Wednesday, swept away nearly all
tn" snow, and made quite a freshet in
our mill streams, down which the heavy
zee was borne with fearful and, to some
'Ht"nt, destructive velocity. Mr.. Geo.
Ricketts, mill dam was partially swept
away, and we noticed that a vessel
which had been lying freighted with
shingles at iloward's lumber yard, was
carried down the river several hundred

A Curious Drop Game Settied-A man by the
of Enoch L. Nutter from New Hampshire,
at present board the bark Dolphin, for Aus
tralia saturday morning, walking the
pier foot cfvesey when picked up pocket
book by him, and asked him il 1t old belong to
him. and insisted upon his taking it. No had he
taken of the pocket book than two other
came up to him. and said he had stolen the book pre-
tending at the same time that they officers, and
would send him to the State prison. One OF these
however said that il Nutter paid him 500 tLey wonld
let him off, otherwise they must convey him to the po
ceCourt from whence he would be sent to the Tombs
Nutter, believing himself placed in very awkward po-
ttiop. paid the $50 the whom he thought
policemen. who released him from custody. After being
released Nuter did not feel exactly satisfied and
muDicated the operation to policeman Hambn, of the
Third ward to whom he gave description OF the men.
The description answered the appearance Of fellow
called Black Joen a noted pocket book dIopper Ac-
cordingy the policeman took Mr. Nutter before Justice
Bogart bis affidavit taken setting forth the facts
and warrant issued for the of the called
Black joe Previous to the arrest, curious proposition
made to the magistrate by friend DOUBT Of the
gny parties The proposition was to pay back the $50
to Nutter provided the prosecution be stopped This
offer the magistrate informed the negotiator could
be entertained but still the Court for the benefit OF the
complainant would receive the $50 with understand
ing that the complainant continues to prosecute The
$50 was ultimately paid and when Black Joe was
rested and brought bf fore the Court strange to say
Mr. Nutter unable to identity him one Of the
guilty party The payment Of the money evidently, in
great measure tended TO affect the recognition Of the
prisoner Nutter received back his $50 and Black Joe
was discharged from custody The whole matter is
very curious affair Cannot the police DO something to
prevent such acts of daring larceny!

4 GLORIOUS CLEANSING or THE CRY The glori-
GUS rain Of last Saturday light resulted in glorious
cleansing Of tie city. 1t appeared az if kind
Providence, taking pity upon the cries Of nearly
million of suffering people, ESQ long neglected in
dirt by our dirt loving Corporaton,) had opened the
windows Of heaven for the special washing of our
late horribly dirty streets. And a truly glorious
washing it was From FIVE o'clock till near mid
night, it rained like the rainy season at Panama
1t rained magni6cently. Imagine an immense els
tern, Of the cabre Of Lake Ontario, hung over the
city, full Of water, retained by false bottom the
real bottom being full Of holes Of two or three in
ches diameter, and less than half an inch apart
imagine IT, false bottom suddenly drawn out, like
the sliding top Of cigar box, and put this wide
spread waterfall in motion to the music Of regular
smashing southeaster, " blowing great guns,

ception Of Saturday nights most glorious storm
Of upwards Of six hours duration Never did
New York wake up before so thoroughly wash
ed for Sunday-so clean and respectable. The
streets for once were delightful to look at. Even
the lowest and most filthy localities, which had
been reekiDg with fermenting garbage all the sum-
mer, exhaliDg malaria and pestilencc night and day,
were washed out as they we're never washed out for
hundred years. Twenty five thousand lrishmen,
without stitch Of work for six months, set to the
duty Of cleaning the streets by the cart load, could
not have done the job so thoroughly in ten days

If there has been any doubt Of the sincerity Of the
Pittsburg nomination of John p. Hale, as the free
soil candidate for the Presidency and any doubt Of
his abiding, bona fde, by that nomination, those
doubts, we think, are removed by the grand ratif-
