CoNvIcTED OF MANsLAUGHTER. We learn
from the Ellsworth Herald that Jefferson Fra
zier was tried at Ellsworth last week on the
charge of manslaughter, in causing the death
of Almra Townsend in August last, by run
ming against her in reckless driving. The
cause was heard before his Honor Judge APP
pleton. Hon. Arno Wiswell, County Attor-
ney, appeared for the State, and Hon. Thomas
Robinson for the prisoner. He was convicted,
and sentenced to six months. Imprisonment in
is sufficient perhaps TO teach the fast drivers
that human beings are more valuable than
hore-fesh.

BETTING ON ELECTIONS. The Cincinnati
Commercial says that gentleman residing in
that city, and possessed Of property to the
amount of ten thousand dollars, is said to have
lost his all by the result of the late election
He also borrowed several hundred dollars from
his friends, which he s,aked upon the issue of
the contest. Betting in this reckless manner
is decidedly censurable, and we hope the prac-
tice may one day be discontinued. The per-
son in question, by depending upon chance,

tEF Is it at all surprising that irreligion

our country, when ministers of the gospel SO far
loose sight of their calling to enter the arena

to Franklin Pierce? We trow not and yet

1t is a sort of mournful consolation to us
that in the signal defeat the wings of this city
and county have sustained. we are not alone.
The tempest which has involved US in the re-
verse we deplore, has been almost universal in
its fierce ravages, and has scarcely left YES
tiGe of our party to remind US of its wonted
strength ard glory. Chagrined and mortified
as we are. we have yet the satisfaction of
knowing that the candidates elected by our
opponents, are gentlemen Of unexceptionable
reputation, and will do no dishonor to the sta
tons they have been delegated to occupy.

THE UNKlNDEsT Cur OF ALL. The great

or be he whig,' was accosred with--'Buy a
Salt River Ticket, sir railroad, steamboat

this salu,alion good naiuredly, purchased n

Louis Napoleon in New York.

The Brooklyn Daily Advertiser, moraliz-
ing upon the rapid ascent of Louis Napole.
on up the ladder Of ambition, from positive
poverty to superative grandeur and power,
recalls some "reminiscences Of his sojourn in
New York many years ago. The editor
says:
Strange events have occurred within a
few years in reference TO that man! We
knew him whilst he was residing in New
York, at IA lodging house in Reade Street,
then kept by gentleman who now occupies
a high official position under the French
government. AT that time he was very poor
and very dissipnted. VIGOROUSLY profigale
in his habits, and without The pecuniary abil-
ity to indulge TO the full bent of his inclna-
lion the culpable propensiries which clIarac-
llZed him, he was frequently expelled from
certain places in which he obtruded himself,
and more than dozen times was the occu-
pant ola cell al the old Jail fn the Park, long
since torn down.
Not long prior to his leaving the. United
States he was arrested for misdemeunor
committed by him at the disreputable house
of woman whose establishment he often
visited, and The writer of this article was
employed professionally by him to save him
from the threatened consequence of his reck-
! essness and indiscrelon. We little sup

A RIVAL FOR THE DAGUERREoTYPE.-
learn from the Scientific American that instan-
taneons portraits can now be taken on collod-
on by very ingenious invention. The person
whose portrait is TO be taken is placed at
some distance off, in front of the lens, and the
operator, while conversing with him, pulls a
trigger. By so doing newly invented cap
(oJturdteur) turns on its own axis, and in its
rotary movement allows the light and the image
of the sitter to pass through hole twice the
diameter Of the lens. The portrait is obtained
in the fraction of a second, and for quickness
can only be compared to electricity. 1t is bnt
justice to the inventor of the collodion (Mr.
Bertsch) to state that the rapidi,y is owing to
its extreme sensitiveness, which rendered it
necessary to use the above instrument. BY the
ordinary method the collodion would be spoiled
by the light, however skilful the manipulation,
before the portrait could be taken.

addition TO the vast quantity of valuables found
in the Crystal Palace, in London, by the police,
large number of gold, silver, and copper
coins, purses, gold and silver headed canes,
rings, lockets, etc., have been found by the
workmen who took down the ediice and as
the contractors gave them permission to keep
what they found, some of the men have made
out tolerably well. One of the purses picked
up contained between seven and eight pounds
sterling. These articles slipped down between

cept when the boards were removed.

ESCAPE FROM JAIL. Two prisoners, named
Robert Backet and John Vance, made their es-
cape, says the Ellsworth Herald, from the
Hancock county Jail, under the following cir
cumstances, on the eve of the 9Th lust. They
kird,ed fire in the window of their cell for
the purpose of making large opening by
which to get out. The smoke filled the Jail
and caused an alarm to be given, when the
jailor and others rushing TO the apartments of
these men, found them nearly suffocated, and
dragged them out into the open air, where they
speedily recovered, and in the confusion walked
off. They were great rogues, and the officers
are after them.
