GTLETTER FROM MAYOR WooD.--May-
or Wood has replied to the Directors of our
City lndrmary in relation to the transpor
tation of foreign paupers to this city, in
which he states that those pauperS and
criminals are shipped directly to the inland
cities by the local authorities in the cities
from which they come. The principal
forwarding lines have agents in foreign cit
les, who sell through tickets to the interior
cities of this country so that it is not in
the power of the New York authorities to
stop them. He thinks the evil has now
become of sufficient magnitude to call for
the action of our national government.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Union
of this morning says that the dispatches
received al the State Department, by the
Pacific, confirm the assurances that there
is nothing whatever in the diplomatic re.
latlonS between Great Britain and the
United States, which need awaken mo-
mentS solitude on this side Of the water,
The Central American question has been
the subject of earnest discussion, and
very serious difference of opinion upon
some points, but that difference is mat
ter still belonging to neutrality-suspicious..
The Union also confirms the despatch
Of last night, and says the British fleet
was probably sent out in consequence of
alarm, produced DO the British ConsuPs
mistake relative to the barge Maury.-
The Union also gives a positive denial to
the statement the london Times, that
Mr.. Buchanan had expressed sympathy
with The English government.

knocked him down with piece of iron,
cutting iright'ul cash in bis head, about
togr inches long. Fearing he would kill
him. Mr.. Gaylord interlered, when Price
turned on him, with the fury OF mad

jumping through window. Price then
siruited through the mill, with a shovel
IN one hand, and piece of iron in the
other, swearing he would kill whoever

PHILANTHROPY IN BOSToN.-.In this day. when Massachusetts takes such an interest in the "poor slave" and the negro race in general when her white kid Senators, travelling over the land, are featuring to genteel ladies in New York theatres and Brooklyn churches on the cruel treatment and neglect of servants in the south--lt seems little sad that she should al- low an aged clergyman to die in her midst, from actual starvation. The Rev. Elijah Welles, aged |oy years, once man of talent and of mark, and once teacher of elocution, died at Deer island, the pauper establishment of Boston, He had been lodger in poor woman's house. and such was his physical exhaustion for want of food, that he was carried to the island with great difficulty, and died soon after he landed at the Almshouse.
 Mir. Wellcs was an "orthodox'' clergyman. His age and his Restitution were we'll known to the clergymen of Boston, where he had lived for several years. He applied for relief to his brethren ln the ministry, and that relief was withheld Had he been heathen in Bouoo boola Cha, woolen stockings and blankets would have been sent to him. Had he been fugitive neSro all Boston would have opened her doors to receive him. But he was only clergyman "a white one at that--so he died of want died because he had no bread to eat-died in an Almshouse while Massachusetts is preach ing up the crusade of philanthropy. It would have been we'll in this case, if charity had "be. gun at home."- J. Negs.

Vr We have seen some rough, and by no means very fattering pen and ink protraits of Henry A. Wise Governor elect of Virginia The following from the National Iutelligenccr, apolitical opponent presents him iu a more favorable point of view:
 "The whig party of Virginia always present bold front and battle manfully, but they have never achieved q success worthy of their noble cause and ill the present contest the fates were against the astroloScrs. The democracy had for Its champion, man who to an unblemished private character, united an unsurpassed if not matchless energy, ability in endurance as apub. llc speaker and of great power over the iudg ment and feelings of popular assembles-of power, III short pre- eminent for political can- Va's, and these powers he exerted with a con- Stancy and vehemcnce 50 lucessant and untiring as to be almost marvellous in one apparently sn fragile. What Abd-el Nader was in the field Henry A. Wise IS on the stump, and to his own personal and powerful cxertions is he greatly chiefly, indebted for his triumph"

MIRAGE ON LAKE FR1E.-The Buffalo Demo-

MIRAGE ON LAKE FR1E-The Buffalo Demo- cracy, describing this singular phenomenon on Lake Erie few days since says:
 " At an early hour some gentlemen, looking out upon the bay, discovered the top hamper and loftier sails of vessel apparently rising from the surface of the water, the hull and lower masts being entirely invisible. Soon an- other craft, similarly situated was pointed out and still the wonder grew. It could not be that both these vessels had foundered and settled down so c plonab as to rest upon the bottom on an even keel; yet there they were, as distinct as possible, sunk to their topmasts, the slassv surface of the water just reaching their lower mastheads. tug was firing up, and when ready, slowly steamed out into the lake. For a time there was nothing remarkable in her con- duct, but suddenly she too sunk. and there was her smoke-stack just emerging from the deep and plough'ng through 1t without a ripple. It was beautiful sight, rendered more so by the perfect placdity of the elements, the bright morning sun, and the soft balmy temperature The illusion grew out of heavy fog bank which lay upon the surface of the water, but did not obscure the objects upon land thus deceiv- Ing the eye as to the level of the lake,"

Important to Farmers.

We are informed by MT. Chamberlin of the City Mill, that the farmers of Vermont arc in the habit of heading the movements of the wee vii by d very simple process. The next season after 1t makes its appearance they go through their wheat fields about the time the wheat is heading, immediately after ( shower or while the dew is on it, and scatter newly slacked lime broadcast so that 1t will adhere to the stems of the grain. They use about bushel to the acre.
 Good lime should be secured, and slacked by sprinking little water over it, so as to retain all its strength. A paddle may be used in scat tering it. The remedy has, it is said been so ef- fectually tried as to leave no doubt of the re- suit.
 Strips in large wheat fields left untouched by the lime, for experiment., have been entirely destroyed by the weevll, while the grain on each side was all saved.
 Since this intelligence was received, Mir. J Jesse Allen of the Centre Mill, has received cor loboratng information from a Muskingum county farmer, who had seen the same results there.-Ah1On (OMo) Beacon.

 A child of mine, about five years old, has been troubled with worms about six months back: we could get nothing to relieve it until we came across Dr. MLane's Vermifuge, of which we gave but a small quantity The result, however was extraordN- nary. The child passed over three hundred worms,
