The OFFICES. We are sorry that we were
so rash as prenaturely to suggest to our
Democratic brethren of Hartford, that there
were certain vacancies to be filled. we
understand that there is likely to be some
difficulty in regard to the number OF
candidates for each station. We would
nave kept silent, had we known It would
have excited so much grediness, The only
trouble with some Of our everlasting great
Democrats is to decide what Office to take
IL is reported that one man is hesitating be-
tween seat in the Cabinet, and foreign
mission; another does not know whether to
take the Collrctorship or Survey yorship OF the
port, and so it goes on through all the inter-
mediate grades. One thing is settled-fhe

Az ECCENTRIC CHARAcTER.-The Bos-

ton to the particulars already published, re-
la,ine to John Cro'ts Cotleld, who died in
that city on the 2sth ult., supposed to he
worth 100000:
For the last thirty years this eccentric
man has not laid in bed,cNcept when ravel-
ing, he being too miscrly to indulge in such
'.cxtravagapcc," as he termed it. He has
made his lodgings on trunks and boards, and
finally dicd, lying upon large trunk. Three
days proceeding his death, he purchased a
burial lot in Mount Auburn. lie lived, il
living it could be called, in small shop off
from the street. lie lived bachelor, not
being willing to marry on account OF the ex-
penses incident upon married life, and
dragged out his existance as solitary as an
oyster. His meals cost him on an average
six and quarter cents, and in payment ne
generally rendered crossed fourpence.-
He had not probably taken off his clothes
for year. Avarice shone from his cold
CLASSY eye: he loved no one. and no one
probably loved him. The late DR.. Parkman
was his friend, and was selected as his exc
cutor.

WHAT WAS IT CUT WITH!-A party Of
friends had assembled one evening, and al-
ter discussing the varous topics of the day
one OF them remarked:
"Wcll boys, suppose you've heard of
Dave Duncomb's marriages."
Some of them had heard of it, and some
had not.
"Well," continued the speaker, che is
married, and was a, the wedding. A right
merry time we had oft, too, assure you;
but there was one thing that surprised me
very much, and that was the manner in
which they cut the wedding cake; | can't
hclp thinking about il. Nv what do you
suppose they cut it wi,h?"
! "The wedding ring" said one.
"No," answered the first speaker, 'yon
must guess ngain."
"a string" said one.
"No."
"a stick whitfield to an edge" suggested
third.
"No"
"a piece Of TIM" venturod the fourth,
thinking he had hit il.
"No."
"Well, what was it," exclaimed they al
in one breath, alter guessing every immag'
inable article they could think Of except the
right one, that could either possibly or impos
sibly be put through such cake.
"Why," said the quiz, "they cut il with
knife, to be sure"

STEAMBOAT ExPLosIoN.-The explosion
upon the steamer Buckeye Belle, near Bev-
erly, was one of the most fatal of all these
terrible misfortunes, considering the number
of persons on board II is said that it was
caused by the gross carelessness of the en-
gineers. From fifteen TO twenty persons. it
is supposed. were killed, and an equal num-
Der scalded and wounded. Senator Covey
was among the latter. The boat was blown
nearly to atoms. Only about forty passen-
gers were on board.
The GAINESVILLE Courier received this even
ing, says that about thirty lives were lost.
1t adds further:
"Of the cause of the explosion, there are
number of rumors in circulation, which, ii
true, will fasten on to the engineer, Daniels
who was on duty, the most damning charge
of recklessness, and misconduct, by which
he caused the loss of the boat and the lives
of thirty or more persons, AS this affair
will probably be investigated, we will say
nothing more at this time, only that we hope
the matter will be made the subject of the
most thorough investigation, and if any one
has been guilty of this horrible crime, le
the axe fall and justice be done"

SUDDEN DEATH On Friday last, Mrs.
Elizabeth Richardson residing nine miles hack
of Covington, came to her death very suddenly
as follows: Some of her children went into
the house, and told her that they had found a
hens nest in a hollow stump, but were not
able to reach the eggs, when she went out and
got them.
On reaching down, she felt something prick
her hand, which at the time she thought was a
splinter, but, shortly after, her hand commence
ed swelling, and soon her whole body was so
swollen as to cause her death in few hours
after-she was poisoned. TWAS supposed that
she had been bitten by snake.
