RUNAwAY.-On Saturday evening last as the
children of Mr.. James Harkin were riding home
in the team belonging to their Father, they mar
rowiy escaped serious injury, if not loss of life.
1t appears that a two horse team which had been
standing at the door of store had become fright
ened and were dashing off at full speed-tbey
soon came up with the wagon on which the chill
dren were sitting, and the horses in their endea-
yors to pass one on each side OF the wagon, ran
upon the wagon and pushed the load upon the
children, and i'll the general melee one hose
was piled upon the wagon, and the other horse
was thrown upon the ground, and the wagon on
the top of him. Wonderful to tell, the children
escaped with slight bruising and some fright.
while the horses received only few cuts on the
skin. Horses had better be tied.

our city calls for new paper. This will be is

u Some of the easy-virtued democrats who
think it is perfectly consistent for lovers of free
dom to support Pierce and King, pretend that
they can throw away the platform which Pierce
says commands the appreciation of his judg-

not passed fairly, but were struggled through
after the most of the delegates had left the hall
The fact is, according to the record, the dele

six to eight years of age, they advance to the
Throne, each with a baske, of flowers upon her
arm and young lady takes each basket in turn,
repeating cosplet for each one, and strews the
floor about the throne with the flowers. The
Queen then rises and delivers an address to the
company, which contains the moral of the whole
festival, and needs only to be heard, to be ad-
mred. Then follows three appropriate songs
which closes the Festival. 1t will be seen thro'-
out the whole, that Purity and Innocence, are
the leading virtues, which is the subject of the
closing hymn:
"Oh how purely, oh how surely
Live the innocent in heart,
Ever lightly, ever brightly,
Every hour doth JOY lmpart

nothing more than the distributive share of
those counties through which their road
would pass, and even that amount, in small
annual payments, subject to variety Of
charges, commissioners fees &c.
Our Bodcau friends have evidently acted
hastily and without due consideration, and
their resolutions place them in position
which we cannot believe they intended to
occupy,-that of hostility'to measures, cal
culated to promote internal improvement in
our State. The whole proceedings evince
a spirit of rivalry; a feeling of distrust and
prejudice which smack strongly of opposition
to the Central, without in any manner ad-
vancing or promoting the prospects of the
Southern Route.

The Nominees.

We, to-day, place at the head of our col
umns, the names of the nominees of the
Wing National Convention, for President
and Vice President of the United States.
From trio of noble and gallant Wings,
the Convention has selected GENERAL VIM
FIELD ScoTT for the highest Office in the
Nation. n.-that he is fully qualified to admin
lister the Government satisfactorily to the
people, and honorably to his own well earn
ed fame, no one acquainted with his histo-
ry will pretend to doubt. Although Gen.
ScoTT was not our first choice for the re-
sponsible station to which he has been nomi-
mated, we have always admired him for his
patriotism, and devotion to his country, and
have ever entertained full confidence in his
fidelity and capacity. We have however
been deeply impressed with the justice Of
rewarding the services Of Millard Fillmore,
because he stood firm and unwavering when
our country was distracted by internal COM
motion, and remained to the end, the unfal-
tering friend of the constitutional rights Of
the South In making this sacrifice of our
personal preference, we are compensated
by the firm and unquestionable patriotism
of the illustrious soldier and patriot in whose
favor it is made.
We have contended that the nominee of
the Whig National Convention should be a
firm and unwavering friend Of the compro-
mise as fnality. The adoption of the fol-
lowing platform by the Convention,-to
achach GEN. Scorr has declared his aohe-
siou-has settled this question to our entire
satisfaction, and we shall give him our most
cordial support.
The Wing nominee, for Vice President is
not unknown. WILLIAM A. GRAHAM,- -
the favorite son of North Carolina, possesses
every qualification to fill with credit the sta
tion in which the Whig party desire to place
him. He has for number of years served
his State in various honorable public capaci-
ties,-and as Secretary Of the Navy, which
station he now occupies, his course has given
general satisfaction With ScoTT and GRA-
HAM as the standard bearers of the Wing
party to carry out the sentiments expressed
in the annexed platform, we enter the con-
test with the brightest prospects Of success

and party. and go to the enemy, feel confident
that you will sustain and vote for me as the NOM
nee of the State Democratic Convention, and as
the only candidate for the office Of Governor who ac-
kmo,cledges and submits to democratic principles"
This is right down cool and candid, we
must confess Then be it known unto all
Democrats, that General Conway says, if
you do not vote for him, you are enemies of
the party. He wants you to bear in mind
that he is the nominee of the Democratic
party. How many democratic votes have
we in this county? About 60O How
many were they at the Convention that was
held in this county to appoint delegates to
the State Convention? Something like
15!! Can it be possible that the whole
democratic party Of this county are bound
by the proceedings of an irresponsible meet
ing. There is nothing binding upon the
action Of a mere popular Convention upon
those not present. If there were, then 10 or
20men could bind Hampstead county to do,
or not to do anything that those 10 or 20 men
might suggest. No man IS bound by u
proceeding TO ac1sich lie as not q party.-
How cool is it then in General Conway to
talk about men being enemies to the party
merely because they may happen to believe
that he would not make a good Governor
Is that portion Of his circular not down.
right insult to the democratic party Of the
State.
We again repeat, that personally we have
nothing to say against General Conway,
but really we cannot see anything good in
his policy, but on the contrary, much that
is Objectionable, and we cannot but think
that there are men in the Democratic party
who entertain more liberal views and are
better calculated to carry out a more en-
lightcned Safe policy.

A Relic OF a Bye.Gone Age.

On Thursday last powerful blast was
made in the rock at Meeting House Hill in
Dorchester, few rods south of Rev Mr.
Halls meeting house. This blast threw
out an immense amount of rocks, some of the
pieces weighing several tons, and scattered
small fragments in all directions. Amonc
them was picked up metallic vessel in two
parts, rent asunder by the explosion. On
putting the two parts together it formed n
bell-Shapcd vessel; ID inches bjob G ID
at the base, l 2 inches at the ton. and
about an Is of an inch in thickness. The
body of this vessel resembles link in color
or composition metal, in which there is a
considerable portion of silver. In the ton
there IS hole for 4 handle and in the bot
tom opposite larger hole is filled with lead,
soldered up close. The inside is consdera.
bly, coroded, but the outside is smooth and
free from rust On the sidei there are six
figures of flower, or boquet beautifully
inlaid with pure silver. The chasing cary
ing and inlaying is exquisitely done by the
art of some unerring workman, and when
new, must have been beautiful. This curl
Gus and unknown vessel was blown out of
the solid pudding stone, fifteen feet below
the surface How it came there, or for
what use it was made, no one can imagine.
1t is now in the possession Of Mr.. John
kettell, at his mansion-house. opposite the
ledge from which it was blown. II has
been examined by nearly three hundred
persons, many Of whom were scientific men,
but no one has yet been able TO say what it
could have been made for DIR. j. V. G..
Smith, who has recently Travelled in the
East, and examined hundreds of curious do
mestic utensils, and has drawings of them,
has never seen anything resembling this
He has taken q drawing and accurate dimen-
slons Of it, to be submitted to the scientific.
There is no doubt but that this curiosity was
blown out of the rock as above stated but
will Professor Agassiz or some other scien-
tific man please to tell us how it came therc2
The matter is verify of investigation, as
there is 10 deception in the case As Pope
says Of the fly in amber;

HoRTTCULTURkL EXHIBITION Uou-
detW Pla1a.-The New York Horticul
tural Society, recently organized, is now
holding its first exhibition at Metropolitan
Hall. There are about 5000 different
plants on exhibition, besides multitude of
out flowers and specimens of fruits and veg
etables.
The most remarkable plant is tropical
water lily, indigenous to South America,
called the Victoria Rcgia, from Caleb
Cope, Esq, of Philadelphia, Two enor-
nous leaves of this plant-the largest about
six feet three inches in diameter, and nine
teen in circumference, floats in large tank,
placed in the centre Of the apartment
One of them is in an inverted position, to
display the frame work and fbres, which
are very prominent also, huge, snaky-look-
ing stem or foot stalk, seven or eight feet
long, and an inch or two in diameter. The
leaf in its natural position, has an upturned
border, which excludes water, and forms of
the whole kind of raft sufficiently buoy
ant to support weight of sixty pounds
The plant blossomed for the first time in
August last, and has since averaged about
two blossoms weekly. One of them was
exhibited yesterday, fully opened 1t is
about a foot III diameter, with white petals
and pistils. 1t is highly fragrant The
plant was found in 1887, on one of the riv-
ers in British Guiana, by Sir Robert Schom-
burg, and taken to England Mr. Cope
brought it thence to this country, the Exhi-
bition has been in progress since Wednes-
day.

A recent divorce case, in Indiana, is thus
described by the Varseilles Whig:- -"Josiah
Squires was divorced from his wife, Fred
erica Squires. The cause of the divorce
was, that reconciliation was hopeless
and his wife had abandoned him from the
fact, as she states, that he did not furnish
her as much liquor as he agreed to, and
that they had been married very nearly
two years, and he had only purchased her
one keg of beer"
