Company of Emigrants under the auspices of
the Emigrant Aid Co., will, on Tuesday, the
18th inst, leave Boston for Kanzas. Reliable
advices received from the Agents of the Com

fords most desirable location for all who are
willing, by hard work and little money, to
secure noble homesteads for themselves and
children. Some persons whose Imaginative
ignorance induced them to suppose that they
should find there an Ell Dorado, where they
could acquire easy and sudden wealth,
have come home disappointed, but the men of
nerve and courage, who looked clearly through
the matter, are there hard at work, gaining a
competence for themselves, and laying the
foundation of the future free state of Kanzas.

TOUCHING INcIDENT.--The following touch
ing incident is related as having occurred at
the last Commencement ofthe Rochester Uni
yersity:
One member of the graduating class, Mr..
r. C. Fem, Of Rochester, is totally blind
When his theme was announced, President
Anderson remarked to the audience that Mr..
Fem, at the close Of his Junior year, in per-
forming some chemical experiments in pri-
vate, lost his oversight entirely, by the effects
of an explosion; but that from unfagging
energy, and by the aid of devoted brother,
and attached class mates, he had been able to
complete the studies Of the course with hon.
or to himself and satisfaction to his teachers.
lie was then led forward by his brother, while
there was scarcely fearless eye in all that
vast assemblege of near two thousand souls
His subject was the Lost Senses, tho object of
which was to demonstrate the disposition that
blindness is preferable to deafness. 1t was
discussed in an agreeable and earnest manner,
after which Mr. Fem retired amid the pro-
longed applause Of the audience.

A terrible tragedy occurred at Greene.

A terrible tragedy occurred at Greene,
Chenango county, on Friday last. 1t appears
that returned Californian, named Davis. had
Misunderstanding with his wife, which led
to separation. Davis met his brother-in-
ia"' with whom his wife resided, and drew a
revolver and shot his relative in the back
killing him instantly. He then proceeded in
search of his wife, whom he also shot. and
she expired in a short time. AS fitting eli
max to this scene Of horror, the wretched man
turned the weapon on his own breast, and slew
himself
The N. Y. Shipping List states, as an
illustration Of the depressed condition of the
carrying trade, that merchant extensively
engaged in the shipping business has just had
first class ship offered to him for a twelve
months voyage gratis-nothing being requir-
ed by The owner but guarantee that the YES
sol shonld be returned to him in as good COLI
dition as when she was taken.

HUMoRs OF PoLITIcs.-The N. York Times
has given full accounts of the proce edings
of the Know Nothing Convention, which was
convened in that city on Thursday and Fri
day last The Times of Saturday published a
report of the nominations made the day previ-
Gus. and gave what was doubtless an accurate
description of the whole affair. In the edito-
rial columns, however, reference was made to
the meeting, and the following refreshingly
cool observations volunteered in the case:
All these proceedings. of course, are to be
kept profoundly secret. No one outside the
organization will know anything of the ar
rangement, nor will the names of the candi-
dates to be supported by the Order be allowed
to transI ire until after they have been count
ed at the polls. The profound secrecy of their
operations is considered the main element of
their success; and no pains will be spared to
preserve it inviolate.
