.DEsrR UcTroH OF A CALrroRNrAK.-The
Westchester IN. W Ns'cs, ofthe 18th, gives
the particulars ofthe self.destruction off. C..
Gray, late of California, who threw himself
upon the track of the railroad, near Rochelle,
as the train was approaching on that day, and
without any known cause. He was sged
about forty-fve years, wealthy merchant Of
San Francisco; was Alderman for two years;
and highly respected. He had an income of
$4,000 year, which he received regularl y
in monthly remittances of $4,000. He resi-
ded lately in Washington. where he married
a young, beautiful and highly accomplished
lady. He recently purchased house in New
York, in the Fifth avenue. for their occupancy
which he fitted up in most magnificent style,
afterwards sold the furniture, at sacrifice
Of $4,000, and then left, seemingly laboring
under great depression of mind.

A Coon SHor.-The Brownstown Ia(
Democrat says that Mr.. VIM. Robertson, Of
that Jackson) county, seeing flock of par.
tridges alight on 4 fence near him, took his
rifle and at single shot took the heads of of
six, and wounded twelve! We suppose Mr..
Robertson was either raised or educated in
Kentucky.
We suppose the twelve that were wounded
only had their heads bumped together by the
conclusion, but it amt much of story after
oil. There is bird hunter living "down
East" who made far better shot than the
above, and displayed t.oice as much ingenuity
he saw flock of four dozen partridpes
sitting upon limb on the opposite bank Of a
creek, and being unable to get them in range
ne could only hope to kill one; but setting his
Yankee wits to work, he hit upon the follow.
ing admirable pan. He leveled his rife a,
the centre Of the limb which he split with his
bullet, and caught the entire four dozen bv
the toes. This man was neither raised nor
educated in Kentucky.

CRIME IN CIxcrxSArr.-The prevalence OF
crime in Cincinnati may be inferred from the
following headings Of articles in the Gazette
of Monday morning: "Man murdered Satur-
day Night" Officers Attacked;" Pockets
Picked" "Bold Robbery" "Stabbing AZ
frsy;" "Another Dissrsceful Fight at Mt.
Auburn" "Cruel Assault" Outrage" ain
human Assault" to which add, that q young
man, stranger in the city, attending church
at the Cathedral on Sunday morning, had
his watch picked from his vest pocket, leaving
the guard chain hanging around his neck.
II certainly seems to US that the extensive
police machinery of that city,if managed by
men Of the right character, might afford a
greater degree of security to life, limb and
property than seems to prevail at present.
There must be connivance and corruption
somewhere.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-A few years since,
q Frenchman by the name of Lafav Cor so
pronounced,) who lived alone in cabin on
the banks Of the Wsbash, about three miles
below this place, on the illinois side, was found
dead in his yard, being shot tn rough the head
with rifle. He kept wood yard. aud il was
generally supposed that he had large
amount Of money about the house. No clue
to the murderer, or how much money was got,
has ever been discovered. About a yeay
since, brother of the murdered man came
on from France and took possession of his
property, and has been living in the same
house entirely alone in like manner. A few
days since some person went to the house and
found him at the front door dead, and the
body bearing the appearance of having lain
so several days. A coroner's jury examined
the body, and found the mark Of buck shot
Immediately below the eye, which had ranged
down into the throat and caused his death.
No trace of the murderer has yet been discov.

This administration Organ has jus! an.
nounced the astonishing discovery that the
N. Y. Evening Post and Buffalo Republic are
abolition papers, sailing under Democratic
colors. The National Democrat thinks it is
taxing the credibility of even the rruaI dis
trict politicians, amost too much to ask them
to believe that they have but just now made
the discovery. The Union and the President
are both quite simultaneous in their discover
les and denunciations of the political pro-
clevitics Of certain newspapers and individ-
uals, who but a few weeks since were advo-
eating the claims of the very man upon whom
the president bestowed some of his very fat.
test appointments. These papers were no,
asubject of complaint while advocating the
claims of Abolitionists and Freesoilers to of.
fce-until more than three fourths of the
choicest patronage in the gift of the power.
at Washington, had been dispensed to men o.
the Buffalo kidney. Is it for moment pre-
sumable that the Union did not alscays kno a
the precise character of these papers! o.
character of his appointees! And that the!
were made Understandings by the president
and endorsed by the Union, until the Nation
nj Democracy would no longer remain quiet
The significant contempt with which man,
of the presidents appointments were treated
by the New York Democracy caused bot
the president and the Union to turn snothe
face, nd they now plead ignorance, and asl
pardon.

boast the prcttiest wharf and city front on
