New YORK MAYoR.-Among the very remarka-
BILE things Of this remarkable age, is the election
Of Mayor Wood of New York city, and the extra
ordinary, yet most commendable course of his adj
mnstration of the city government. There had
for years previous to his election, been great
deal of talk about the corruption of the city Off
GERS and the neg elect, and worse than neglect, of
municipal affairs. Reform measures were propo-
scd, and reform men elected to ofice-yet no
great improvements effected. At the last
city election, among all the candidates. none re-
ceivcd moro hearty condemnation in advance than
Fernando Wood. lie was spoken of mere
pot-house politcian--as reckless, shameless, and
unworthy of the countenance Of any of the de-
cent part of the community. The impression
abroad against him that he was the worst man
ever named for the pl &C. But he was elected,
and to the surprise of pany-he has reformed the
entire city government us far as he had the pow
or and he has won most cnviable reputation as
being a man of high integrity, great courage, in
domitablc energy and perseverancc-a lover of
justice and moral purity, and worthy of any po-
Siton in which the people mil ht place him. He
is a model to all Mayors, Governors and Prcsi-
dents. One of the latest things told of him,
which is characteristic of the man, is the follow
ing from the New York Times:
"Yesterday, rcbelious infraction of an ordi-
nance was reported to his Honor. With his ac-
custonei GOODNESS he observed, that he should be
very sorry to oppose the resignation. of any mem
Der of the Police Department between whom and
himself there might unfortunately exist any dis
crepancy of opinion to the severity of this Or
der. The only alternatives were strict obedience
or resignation-nott to his will in the matter-but
eviction of the ofice.''

:: to oppose The resignation" of refractory po-
liceman, shows that he is keen wit as we'll as

and destined to run between those two places,
was launched last Friday. 1t is to receive the APP
prOpriate and beautiful name 'sNorth STAR
The machinery has arrived, and VIC suppose will

MAN DROwNED.--A stranger was drowned in
the Mississippi, near the head of Nicollet Islam l.
last Saturday. lie was attempting to cross the
rivrr in with young Mr.. aionOc: the ca
noe was upset Mr.. n. was able to swim, but
when he reached the shore. he could discover no
trace of the stranger. He had several hundred
dollars about his person, probably much of it in
specie, which helped to sink him to watery
grave. These are the facts as we hear them.
ASSAULT AND BArTERY.-Kellogg, keeper of the
Cataract Saloon, was recently brought before JUS
tice Bostwick of this CITY, charge Of an assault
committed on one of his customers, by the name
of Clark, and fined $35. Clark is still suffering
from bruises. and we believe, intends to bring an
action for damages occasioned by the loss of time.

occurred at the Cataract Saloon, in which a man
By the name of Chase, attempted to wrcst knife
from Kellogg, the saloon Keeper, and had his
hand very badly cut. Chase says Kellogg threat

plainly the cash of knife. A legal investiga-
ton will probably settle the question whether a
knife or plank did the business. What shall he
the end Of these things.
BARBARoUs.-Wc arc informed that a man of
incorporate habits, and afflicted with the prevail
ing bowel complaint, was turned away from the
St. Anthony House, some time near the end of
last week. He wandered around for dav or so
without food, and was found by Capt. Taper w.
ing beside fence on the island in a suffering and
almost helpless state. Mr.. Taper committed
him to j. P. Wilson, the ovcrseer of the poor for
this county, and Mr.. Wilson took him back to the
St. Anthony House, from which he was heartless-
ly dragged out to the stable, where he Law for a
day or two, and then died. He was decently
dressed, but without the means to paw for the at
tentions he needed, and he was left to die like
dog. Such revolving inhospitality and cruelty are
adisgrace to humanity; and the guilty parties, be
they who they may, should be dealt with as having
committed a high crime. The retribution would
be just, should they yet be left to perish among
strangers, and on a dung-hill.
p. 5. medical inquest held upon the body of
the aforementioned stranger, decided that his
death was FASTENED BY the use of LIQUOR, which
probably induced cholera.

ANOTHER Nkw TERRIroRY.-A letter from New
Mexico to the New Orleans Picayune, states that
the Legislature of that Territory have some
thoughts of memoralizing Congress to erect new
territory out of the southern portion of New Mex
leo. The present territory is eight hundred miles
long, six hundred and fifty broad, and is inhabit-
ed by one hundred thousand people. The tract of
country newly acquired from Mexico has given it
comparatively large population in its southern
part, aud that section is now so far removed from
Santa Fe, the Seat of Government, ard the coun-
try is so dangerous and difficult for travellers, that
communication is for all ordinary purposes i'm
practicable. The proposed territory is to be call.
ed Pimeria; it is said to possess vast agricultural
and mineral resources, and to be capable of sup
porting vast population. The letter to the Fl
cayune, states that it already contains larger
population that either Oregon, Washington, Min
nesota, Kansas or Nebraska contained when they
were erected into territories.
