Adam Sheckler, Esq, of Buffalo, for Coun-
~ Commissioner.
For Sheriff. MeSsrs. Bogar of New Berlin,
Kessler of Mlddlecreek. Aurand of Middleburg.

For Assembly, DR., Hover of Freeburg, and
Esq. Barbin of Center Tp., are named bu,

Mai. Sharon declines being a candidate for re-
election. and it is thought Hon. Jno. Beale will
be presented By the Wings of Juniata.
The proposition 10 have County Officers
voted for directly, we hope may prevail, and
are sure il will be satisfactory 10 many who
have become disIleased with the management
of County Conventions. Ii has worked well
wherever tried, and no doubt comes nearer to
a true expression Of the wishes Of the people
,nan any other plan which has been carried

Terrible Steamboat Disaster.

The Steamer Henry Cay was burnt on
the North River, between New York and
Albany, on Thursday week. She contain
ed some three hundred passengers, EIGHTY
Of whom perished by drowning and other
wise. The particulars furnish the most
melancholy picture of loss of life and pro-
Perty that We have ever read.
When the occurrence took place, the
Henry Uay was racing with the armenia,
and had the steam up to the highest point,
The passengers demonstrated, but were told
that there was no danger. The whole
blame is credited to the Captain and crew,
and properly. The gallows is too good a
place for such men, and the survivors of
them should be dealt with in the severest
manner.
Among those lost are Stephen Allen,
aged 81, once Mayor of New York Abra-
ham Christ, an eminent Lawyer of Brook
lyn; Mr.. Downing, the distinguished
horticulturist; j. j. Speed, proposed as
the Wing candidate for Governor of Ma
ryland; the wife of Mr.. Bancroft, Of the
firm of Bancroft g. Beaver, Philad. wife
Of John L. Thompson, Esq, of Lancaster,
aud some 20 or 50 others, many of them
deseryedly beloved in their own circle, and
whose loss is deeply felt i'll many commu-
mites.

The Fishery Question.

BosToN, July 24.-By. the steamer Ad
miral We have St. John New Brunswick }
papers to the 23d July.
The New Brunswicker of the 22d says
that the United States Government will
make an attempt to obtain a modification
of the strict letter of the Fishery Treaty,
but failing in that, they will then offer as
an equivalent, reciprocity Uncertain articles
of domestic growth The New Bruins
wicker thinks that the American govern
ment will make great noise about the
rigid enforcement of the Fishery Treaty,
but they feel confident it will not frighten
John Bull out Of his present position.
The St. Johns Morning News says that
serious troubles between the two govern
ments are anticipated, consequent upon
the strict Interpretation of the fishing
treaty, by Earl Derby's government. 1t
is not at all improbable, the News thinks,
that the determination of the British Min
istry to enforce the treaty has been con-
ceived with view to the success of the
negotiation for reciprocal Free Trade.

GHOST SToRIEs.-There is foolish
and pernicious practice with some people,
of relating stories to young children to
excite alarm aud terror If it was only
foolish, or unreasonable, it might not
justly call forth strong expressions of Gen.
sure. Yet even in such case, the practice
had better be discontinued, and condemned
as quite improper. Stories to arouse Gu
riosity and excite inquiry, if the subject
tend to utility, are certainly proper and
commendable But the common tales of
Blue Beard and Giants, of spectres and
ghosts, are extremely injurious in their
influence and effects. Unfounded and
absurd notions are received, that serve
only to terr;fy, and which even by correct
knowledge afterwards received, can not be
entirely suhdued OF eradicated.
Let children be taught, that the great
Creator has impressed lawson all thugs,
which operate uniformly; and that they
are in safety, when they conduct them
selves well aud have a reverence for that
great and good being. They should be
taught that ghosts and apparitions are
wholly fanciful that all the spectres they
need guard against are guilty fears; and
if they are yirtuous, these will never
haunt them, nor ever exist.
