Mr.. Andrew Stevens, which were to make
"Rome how'll have at last been published in
the Police Gazette. On Thursday they appear
ed in the columns of that paper. We have not
heard of the effect of this brochure in Rome"
but in this goodly city there was no particular
excitement created by the appearance Of the
communication of MIR. Andrew Stevens. In
this letter he partially confesses that he was one
of the causes of the disaster at Astor Place, for
which he is very sorry-says that Forrest didn't
pay up as freely as he should have done when
the work was completed-and insinuates that
he was wanted to commit perjury on the late di
vorce trial, sc. SC. All is mere vague asser-
tion, backed by no sort of proof, and indeed
hardly amounting to a positive charge of any
kind against anybody
*x* We see that our friend, D. C. More
head, M. D., announces through the columns of
the Herald new and wonderful medicine, which
he calls /" Morehedd'S MAGNETIC Plaster" This
he offers to the dear public at the low price of
two shillings box-cheap, considering the man
fold virtues it is said to possess. We suppose
Bennett does the advertising of this nostrum in
consideration of DR.. Morehead's services in the
Aztec war. Why don't the Doctor advertise
his Galvanic Rings, Bracelets, Carriers and
Necklaces We have lost sight, for some time,
of these wonderful inventions of the celebrated
Doctor CWisty. Doctor Morehead, being the
real, genuine successor of that celebrated M D.,
should let us know what has been done with the
Galvanic branch of tho business.
#x* A good story is told of recent bur-
glary in Louisville, Ky. A fellow secreted him
self in the bedroom of lady, and when she
came in to retire for the night, ssw, from his
hiding place, the lady place her jewelry in a
nice little box. After she went to sleep, he Sc
cured what he supposed to be the valuabes, but
it so happened that the box containing her jew
ry, and that containing her rouge, were just
alike, and the thief took the wrong box. The
only annoyance that resulted to the fair one was
that she was compelled to appear at the break
fast table the next morning rather paler than
| usual. The thief returned the rouge the next
| day, with his compliments.
~ The politicians are becoming quite
excited on the question of who shall be the next
| President-more so than is usual so far in ad-
vance of the time. Scott and Cass seem to be in
| the ascendant just now, but where they may turn
up when the respective Conventions assemble, it
is of course impossible to predict-and even when
the Conventions have settled the question Of
candidates, all must remain a mystery till after
| the people have expressed their opinion OF ths
| ballOC boxes The discussions, however, which
precede these events, do some good in the way
of giving old foges who have nothing else to do
something to talk about.
*x* The Erie Railroad appears to be a,
unpopular in the Quaker City as it is with ou
good friends of Buffalo. One of the Philadel
phia papers assures its readers that the Life In
surance Companies, now insert in all their poll
cies, clause setting forth that the company will
not be responsible for lives lost on the Erie Rail
road, unless the party insured pays an extra pc
centage, as travelling on that road is considere,
"extra hazardous" and is therefore subject t.
special rates. Some of the people go so far as t
say that it is now common thing for person
about to take trip over this road as far as Dun
kirk, to make their wills before they set out.
#*x We learn from the proceedings O
the Young Mems Whig Committee, that Col
lector Maxwell recently stated in reply to
Committee from that body that mo man shoul
get his breat from the Custom House, VIII
would not support Mr.. Fillmore While W
have the greatest respect for the talents and pa
triotism of the President, we must say that W
should not like to hold Office on any such terms
= Still, every one has a right to agree with sue
terms, or not, rs suits his individual fancy.
