Merrill, or Murrill, the man who kid
mapped solomon Northup was arrested at
Sandy Hill, N. Y, last Friday. Our readers
are familiar with the particulars Of Northup's
case. He was free citizen of New York,
and being kidnapped, was held as a slave
twelve years. He recognizes Morrill, as his
kidnapper. The fellow had recently made his
appearance in that vicinity. He was armed
with pistols and bowie bnives, but the arrest
was so sudden and unexpected, that he had
not time to use them.

The ATTEMPT AT ARSON IN NEW York.
Further investigation makes itapparent that
the motive which led Charles A. Peverelly to
fire the store occupied by him in New Y ork, =,
was desire to conceal certain distractions of
goods, which had been committed to his care
for storage. Of one lot of 10 bales of cotton,
were missing another lot Of 56 bales was
all missing, as was also another lot of % bales.
Another firm stored SO hhds. of sugar, and
nearly one half of that is missing. Since the
arrest of Peverelly it has been ascertained
that he had been engaged in forging
The Courier says that Mr.. Charles Nagle,
tobacco broker, of Wall Street, was in this

which he had received from Mr.. Peverelly, to
the amount of $4,000, to which the signature
of Hovey & Co., Merchants Row, had
been counterfeited. Mr.. Nagle took the pa
per to several parties, in the hope of selling
it, and finally called upon Mr.. Hovey, who
pronounced the signature not genuine. Mr..
Nagle thereupon returned to Nav York, quite
chopfallen. Mr.. Peverelly's family is well

Sutton.

The celebration of our National Anniver-
sary, at Sutton, was an event long to be re-
membered in that town. 1t was the occasion
OF laying the corner stone of the NJ. E. church,
about to be erected by the young and inter-
esting Methodist Society in that place.
An eloquent and interesting address, ap-
propriate to the day, as well as the occasion,
was delivered by Rev. J. D. Bridge, of Will
braham, p, E. of this Conference The ad-
dress Of the Rev. gentleman was most happy
and popular one, abounding in wit, practi-
cability, and earnestness-in the course of
which President Pierce, Col. Douglas, and
other of the Nebraska agitatols, were elegantly
and graphically eulogi=ed. 1t claimed, as it
richly merited, the earnest attention of the
large and intelligent audience.
The ceremonies of laying the cornerstone
over, more brilliant and animated scene, but
not more interesting one, invited the atten-
ton of the people cougregated in the spacious
vestry of the Congregational Church, where
the ladies of the Methodist Society had been
kindly permitted to hold grand Festival, for
the noble purpose of aiding their society in
the erection of their church edifce, and we
are pleased to know that the proceeds will be
of substantial character.
We have not time nor space to describe, in
detail, the splendor of the festive scene-to
tell how tastefully the room was decorated
what elegant delicaces and tempting substan-
tials were beautifully displayed OH the tables
how excellent the music, under the direction
of A. ]. White, of Whitlnsville; how charm
ing and lovely were the ladies; how generous
were the gentlemen; and how happy were
everybody. Indeed, no description of ours
could equal the reality. 1t was one of those
brilliant, happy affairs, which the influence
and the hand of woman only can produce, and
for which the Sutton ladies are, in an eminent
degree, distinguished.
Able and appropriate addresses were made,
and sentiments exchanged, at the table, by S.
d. King, Esq, President of the day, Rev.
John Lee, of Sutton, Rev. Mr.. Chaplin, of this
city, Rev. Mr.. Andrews, of Hopkinton, and
others, whose names have escaped us. Mr..
George w. Putnam is deserving of much
credit, for his spirited and indefatigable exer-
tions in contributing to the getting up, and
success of the whole affair, as well as for his
efforts in building up this new society. Such
works, Heaven will own and bless.

The PEOPLES CoNvENTIoN.--A number cf
gentlemen met at the American House in tn S

appointed at meeting of the citizens Of Con-
cord. to consider the best means of obtaining
united political action at the North, on the
subject Of the aggression of the slave power
Several Wings and Democrats were present.
though a majority consisted of men belonging
to the Free Democratic organization. Among
those present were Samuel Hoar, Stephen G.

ton, Orison Underwood, Charles NJ. Ellis, J.
u. Goodrich, NJ. c., and Others
A free and friendly debate took place, the
feeling being unanimous with one or two
exceptions, that it was desirable that there
should be grand meeting Of the whole peo-
ple,in mass convention, or by delegates, with
out distinction of party, and that no other
mode Of political opposition would be of any
permanent benefit. There were differences of
opinion as to the best mode of holding Com
vention, whether by delegates or by a move
ment of the mass and also some disagree
ment as to the time. The result was, that
resolution was unanimously adopted, that in
much as call was already in circulation and
signed by numbers of people, calling a Con-
ventlon OF the people to meet at Worcester,
on the 10th inst, it was unnecessary to take
any further action on the subject
The matter is thus left with the people them
selves. We learn that the call for the meet
ing on the Goth, is already signed by large
numbers of people, of all parties. In some of
the business portions of this city, it has been
signed by nearly all the business men. In
the towns where it has been circulated it meets
with great favor. In other towns people have

SERIOUS ACcIDENT.-On Monday afternoon,
about five o'clock, as some of the children of
the Pleasant Street School, returning to their
homes, were opposite the store of II. Griffin
s; Co., Pleasant Street, one of their number,
a daughter of Amos ?. Albee, aged about
eight years, received a shot from loaded pis-
tol, in the hands of two boys, named James E.
Bliss and John B. Albee, with which they
were playing. The ball passed through the
child's bonnet, severing in its course piece
of stout cord in the lining, passed through the
scalp, grazed the scull, without penetrating
the bone, and lodged in the bonnet. DR..
Bates was Immediately called, and rendered
prompt assistance, and we are happy to learn
that the wound is not considered dangerous.

MoRE FRAUDs. Alexander Kyle, Jr., sec
retary of the Harlem railroad, at New York,
has made an ovcr-issue of $3.50, 900 Of the
stock of that road, being 6,l09 $50 shares.
He was apparently an accomplce, to a certain
extent with Mr.. Schuyler. The n. Y. Eve-
ming Post says they were in the habit Of
swopping with each other the several spu-
rious stocks of the New Haven and the Har-
lem companies, the joint Office of which, in
Hanover street, appears to have contained
quite a nest of swindlers. Further develop
ments are yet expected and it will be neces-
sary to call in for registration, in the case of
the Harlem as of the New Haven company,
all outstanding certificates. The books are
reported to be in very confused state.
An examination shows an oyer-issue Of 100
shares of the New Haven and Northampton
and Canal railroad. The depreciation in rail
road stocks and other securities, consequent
upon recent developments and the over-action
in business, has caused the failure of Blatch-
ford Rainsford, and VIM. Borrowe Son,
brokers Of New York, as well as that of VIII
lis Co., brokers Of Boston,--an old and re-
spectacle houses. Other failures are reported.
and bad crash is predicted in the dry goods

Congress.

SATURDAY, July 8.
In the House of Representatives, the bill
authorizing the Commissioner of Patents to
grant an extension patent to Samuel Colt for
seven years, from 25th of July next, for i'm
provement i'll fire arms, was taken up.
Mr.. Clingman Of North Carolina said, be-
fore the vote is taken on the Bill, there should
be call of the House. From the extraordi-
nary means resorted to, he had no doubt very
large sums of money had been offered to gem
tlemen to induce them either to vote for the
Bill or absent themselves. He had no reason
to suppose any gentleman would be influenced
by such considerations. The remarks of Mr..
Clingman led to a discussion, in which large
number of members participated. The Com
mittee finally rose without concluding the
subject, when Mr.. Letcher, OF Va, asked
leave to offer the following resolution: that
Committee of seven members be appointed to
inquire whether money has been offered to
members, or illegal and improper means used
to induce members to act in securing the pas
sage of the Bill to extend Colt patent for sew
en- years, also, whether money has been offered
to members or other illegal means used, di-
rectlyfor indirectly, to secure the passage of
any Bill through Congress, and the said COM
mittee shall have power to send for persons
and papers, with authority to examine Witness
es under oath.
Mr.. Walsh, of N. Y, objected, on the
ground that it would end in smoke.
