A SHARP GAME.-The Journal says that
ManyPenny was killed of by a sharp game
on the part Of the Medill men. They got
The names Of all collectors and supeFintend-
ants of the canals, &c, (with the salary of
each attached) that were delegates, and
made a formidable list Of some thirty or for
ty. They then took in hand the green
delegates from the Northwest, &C., as they
arrived, showed them the list, and asked
them if they were prepared to endorse such
mOnstrous corruption as that list disclosed!
MaavPenny is one that appoints the collec-
tors, and they are here by his procurement!
The thing looked plausible, There was pri-
ma tucie, fraud and corruption. The green
delegates grew indignant. and swOre that
Manypenny shOuld Aat &c 10 if that was his
game. So they went for Me&ii, sGd he got

played q bold game, a strong game and a
s'shatp game" as a matter Of course. BY
getting him out Of the road, other individa-
ais bereabouts have a much better chance
for promotion.
A SAD BEREAvEMENT.-The little boy Of
Gen. Pierce, killed by the late railroad ac-
cident, was an only child, an elder brother
having died some ten years since. The
Boston Atlas says, "there Is not a person in
the Union who will not deeply sympatbize
with the President elect and his lady, in the
irreparable loss which has befalleh them
Their boy was about eleven years OF uge' a
bright little fellow, and Of course the darling
of his parents. We met them two years
since, on a journey, in Vermont. The lad
was the inseperable companion ofhis doting
mother, and no one could see them together,
without noticing and being affected by the
touching and affectionate attachment they
each manifested for the other. Poor moth
er! Thy lot is indeed a sad one, to see the
%throbbing of that youthful, guileless heart
&,to miss forever from thy side tina. trusting,
loving companion! The nation will hear with
grief of her bereavement, and sympathize

STAND FROM UNDER!-We learn from the
Seer, a Norman weekly oracle just estab
lished at Washington by Orson Pratt, an
accredited saint from "Deseret," that there
is a bad time coming for this sinful country.
Elder Pratt paints the "future of America"
as follows:
sThe cup of the ~iniquity Of this nation is
nearly full; and woe unto them, when the
time shall CONT that they are fully ripe in
their denominations, for they shall utterly
perish from off the face Of this choice land,
and the land shall be left empty and d~esolate
yea, their cities shall be destroyed, and
their houses shall be desolate."
"When the Gentiles have been used up,
the saints are to have the choice land all to
themsclves"-they andtheir many wives and
miscellaneous families.
A ComMESDABLE RuLE.-The Democrats
OF Philadelphia city aud county have adopt
ed a new set Of rules to govern their prima-
ny elections in June ncxt. and among them is
the following:
.If any candidate for any Office, by offers
or gifts Of meat, drink, money, or any yalua-
BILE thing, is found guilty. of attempting, d.
rectly or indirectly, to influence the vote Of
any Democratic citizen at the election on
the second Monday in June, or of any con-
fierce, his name is to be stricken from the
list OF candidates by the conference, aud any
votes cast for such candidate will not be
counted"
VICE PRESIDENT KING.-A letter from
Washington dated Jan. Essays that "the Hon
w. R. King cannot possibly recover. His
physician has sounded his lungs with the
stethescope, and declared that one of his
lungs is entirely gone and the other partly
SO. Col. KS. niece, Mrs. Ellis, is with
him." The writer further adds that he has
beena very humane master. He never sold
but one slave in his life and was compelled
to sell harm because he was a terror to the
neighbo rhood.
A Coon Cow.-A correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald, writing from Mayield,
says "that VIM. Ellsworth, of Mayfeld, Guy
ahoga, Co., Ohio, has a COW, a cross Of Dew
onshire and Durham, that gave fifty-two and
q halflbs ofmilk per day during twenty-one
successive days, and gave as high as three
lbs and four ounces of butter per day, her
feed being hay and eight lbs of bran per
day,
