Ex COLLECTOR BRoNsoS.-ft is positively
stated in several New York .papers'that 6Sr.
Bronson has finally consented to accepted the
nomination Of his political friends for govern
or; and it IS equally as positively stated that
a fusion is to take place between his snppor-
ters and the new order of KNOWN othings.
Misfortunes, we know, make strange fellows !;
and while admitting the force Of tie old
4alaaey ne are nevertheless inclined to doubt
the correctness of this last statement. A
Baltimore paper tells Us Of native Araefi-
can who was drowned through the obstinacy
of his one-idea belief -preferrins to perish
rather than accept the saving hand of an
Irishman. We rathersuspeet that the Know
.Nothings Of New York would sooner dissolve
in the elements Of their own weakness than
be galvanized into fitting vitality by the aid
of any portion Of the democratic party.

Nearly all the Democratic papel take 'n0

reasonable and unholy combinations, which
are pregnant with danger to, and at variance
with the spirit and genius Of our liberal IN

be the next victims, nor to what extent the.

Death of a!Miserly Woman.

A female named Jeanne De Lux died in
New York few days ago from injureis re-
ceived BY being run over by an omnibus
She was slxty-five years of age, and the
Journal of Commerce thus speaks of her:
"The assessors of the city tolls always en-
countered IN her most reluctant taxpayer,
and piteous appeals were made to their c!em-
ency; for, to all appearances, she was in great
pecuniary distress, living in a secluded apart
ment in an upper story, with a scanty supply
of antique wearing apparel and rickety fur
niture, denying herself the ordinary comforts
of life. In consideration Of her extreme poy-
erty and oath, she was lest year assessed for
only $4,000, though the house she occu-
pied and owned was well worth $25, ,O00.-
The bureau Of the Public Administrator now
shows that she owned bonds to the value of
Sso.u00, making her entire property at least
SIUU,OO0. She is not known to have had
any relatives in this country, except a nephew
residing in Cincinnati When inquired of as
to what disposition she intended to make of
her property, she said she meant to build
splendid hospital. After all she died with
out leavinga will, though often urged to pre-
pare one"
