ASSAULT AND BATTERY.-Yeste a young
man, while intoxicated, committed an assault
and battery on one of the officers on duty, and
was taken to the guard-house, and being near.
ly exhausted, he was allowed to remain in the
trial room. After he had recovered, he tried
to escape by jumping out the window, and had
succeeded in getting partly out, when one of
the Guards caught him by the arms and pulled
him back. 1t is likely if he had reached the
pavement he would have broken some of his
limbs, if not his neck. He was committed to
Jail by Justice Morsell.

ELECTION RuAoRs.-It was amusing, yester-
day, to hear the various rumors that were put
in circulation, by either party, to excite a
public feeling against their opponents, and to
prejudice that great power, 1.-the people," in
their own favor. The rumors were of the most
ridiculous nature imaginable, and although
silly enough to insure smile, are instances Of
feeling that is much to be deplored. Thus,
for example, we heard it grayely asserted
that the Know NothiDgs were going to burn
down every Catholics house, and even the
hour named-3, p. m.-when this piece Of
Protestant zeal would be exhibited. On the
other hand, we overheard very wise fellow
telling queer cock and. bull story, which re.
minded US of the celebrated meal-tub plot
and other similar affairs as narrated in the
History Of England. 1t was to the effect-and
the party telling it made such a long preamble
as TO the truthfulDess Of his narrative, that we
Immediately doubted its authenticity-tha a
young man of his acquaintance had been
asked by two Irishmen how he would vote !;
and finding that he was for Towers, they invited
him to take q walk /" when they were met
by two other Irishmen. The four took him to
come secret place on the Island, drew ont pis-
tolls, sword, &c, and, opening a book, made
him swear that he would vote for Maury. II
our space permitted, we could relate large
number Of these silly stories, which, however
they may cause the thoughtless to smile, can
not but make the judicious grieve.

Modern inpeniions.-A nong the patents
recently issued at the Patent Office, is one
TO Mr.. NArHANIEL DopoE, Oxford, n. II.
for new and useful Improvement in the
construction Of Tanning apparatus, or i'm
proved mechne for circulating the contents
of Tan Yats, patented June rs, 1854. We
have examined model of the machine, and
seen certificates of It's admirable operation,
by practical Tanners, who have introduced
II into their manufactures. Ii is at one sim
pie, cheap, and useful, aud evidently an in
vention of great value to those engaged ia
the manufacture of leather, and we doubt
not will be source of reasonable profit to
its worthy aud ingenious inventor, practi-
cal Tanner and Currier.
The machinery previously used for cireu-
lating liquor among hides or coloring them
previous to backing away in watts, has been
SO expensive and tanners have been required
to pay so large a sum for the right to use
them, that the majority have not adopted
their use. This new improvement comes at
the very time when many must abandon the
business unless they can have something to
save manual labor, shorten the time oftan-
ming, increase the heit of leather and at the
same time make il as good as was ever made
in any other way whatever.
We think these advantages are secured by
the use of this machinery (other things being
equaD as is apparent by the testimony oithose
who have us 1t, the summer past, by hand
as well as by water power SO far as we
know, it has given entire satisfaction, and IS
said to be the best machinery now IN use Tor
the same purpose.

cal tanner states that it " makes as hand

Orleans County Grammar School lands
We observe that the Repository attributes
the defea, in the Senate of the bill dividing
grammar school lands in Orleans county, to
the fact that the Glover school (which deslr~
ed share of the fund " was established by
Universalsts," while the schools row enjoy
ing the fund "are under the control Of par-
tialisls.' The Repository also charges that
Senator White dad not properly state the
facts. 1t seems to US this is a very narrow
view of the matter, and a very" partial" one
into the bargain; and we are assured that il
is entirely unjust TO Senator Whitehall he
did correctly and fairly state the facts, and
so also did the chairman Of the Senate COM
miltee. The truth Is that this question ad-
mts OF differences Of opinion, and has ellcl-
ted different opinions for long time.
