ELECTION DAY.-Yesterday was clustering
day. The wind howled piteously around the cor
ners of the buildings, resembling mid-winter more
than spring. No very great enthusiasm prevailed
during the day. Very little noise or confusion
was hearable or visible, but the voting was done
quietly, and in highly commendable manner.

SELLING LIQUOR TO THE INDIANs.-We fully en-
dorSe the following article from the st. Peters
Courier. The man who would sell whisky to the
Indians, knowing the efec. it has upon them,
would commit almost any c;rme. Such man de-
serves place in the Pcnientiary:
We learn from q reliable source. that some per-
son OF persons near Washington lake, are furnish
ing the Indians in that vicinity with liquor. 1t
is bad enough to sell liquor to a white man, but
the man who would, in violation of the law and
in opposition to the interests and good wishes of
all good citizens, sell whisky to the Indians, and
those too, who are living around the whites, in
the remote settlements, thereby endangering the
lives and property of the esettlers, is wretch, and
unworthy to be called man. If what we have
heard is truc.we hope the people will look into it,
and mctc out to the offending parties all they de-
serve.

FIRE AT MACKINAC-GUNNERY PRAcTICE.-The
Buffalo Democracy says that early IN January the
barracks at Fort Mackinac were destroyed by fire.
During the progress of the flames the officer in
command thought it would be good idea, as
water was not easily to be obtained, to fire can
non shot into the buildings in such way as to
cut off the communication Of the fire with the parts
not yet kindled. Accordingly, the field-pieces
were ranged on the parade, loaded with shot, and
the cannonadc was commenced. The shot all
told, and perhaps would have fulfilled the expecta-
tions of the ingenious officer, had not slight er
ror in the practice been discovered too late. TO
the great astonishment Of all beholders, the shot
exploded in the buildings, throwing the burning
fragments in every direction, and spreading the
disaster beyond the hope Of remedy. The guns
had been loaded with shells instead of solid shot
The result was most unfortunate, for the wooden
buildings in the garrison were chiefly destroyed.

HE LUCK OF THE FRENCH MINERS AT ST.
BAsrAPoL.-A correspondent of the Journal
du Loiret, at the seat of war, states that the
French engineers were employed in mining
certain portions of ground over which the for.
hheatons of one Of the faubourgs of Sevasta-
pei extend. The difficulties of the ground,
says the writer of the letter, are immense, but
the soldiers do not complain and they are at
times rewarded for their trouble by what they
find. 1t appears that the inhabitants fore.
seeing the reduction of the place, had buried
many articles Of value, which they hoped to
be able to dig up at future day, when the
army should have departed They, however,
didnot reckon upon tile works of the miners (;
and every day these men find something of
value, in the shape of silver and plated arti.

been tried on by all the men, has since been
hung up as an ornament, in one of their

SENATE.-The bill for increased compensa-
ton for Congressman and U. S. Judges was
taken up.
Mr.. Gillette, of Connecticut, said-If the
State Judges can get along with 1000 to ST.
500 year, why can not the U. S. Judges get
along with 1000 to $500. After the demon
stration of the last Congress upon the Ne
braska Kansas bill, think that the members
ought to lie satisfied that they already receive
enough, if not TOO much.
Mr.. Badgpr-I am surprised at the remarks
of the Senator from Connecticut. l hope
those who think the present per diem allow
ance Is sufficient compensation for their SER
vices, will, as honorable men, vote against the
bill. think my services are worth more, and
rate sSsSse ofother Senators as high as my own.
Mr., Clayton, of Delaware thought that the
compensation of the members of Congress was
inadequate He should not vote to increase
his own compensation, but should vote to in
crease that Of his successor, and of the Sena-
tors from other States.
Mr.. Toucey, of Connecticut differed from
his colleague. He thought it bad policy to
pay public servants too small wages,
The further consideration Of the subject was
postponed until tomorrow, at half past IL
o'clock.

SINGULAR ACcDENT.-One of the most sim
gular accidents, taking into consideration its
results, that has ever taken place in the his
tory Of railroads. occurred on Thursday morn
ing to the train from Blackstone, on the Bos-
ton and New York Central Railroad. When
the train was about eight miles from this city,
and going at the rate Of about twenty to TWEEN
ty. five miles an hour, the forward axle of the
tender broke, and singular to relate, a piece of
the axle, nearly four feet in length, and
weighing about two hundred pounds, passed
under the tender, and coming up through the
foor of the fore part of the forward car pass
ed over the heads Of all the passengers in that
part of the car, and landed safely beside the
stove in the middle of the car. The car was
full OF passengers but no one was injured
The escape was most wonderful The tender
being coupled to the engine did not fall upon
the ground, and the train was stopped after
having proceeded considerable distance
One of the detached wheels of the tender
passed under the train, and came up through
the floor of the passenger car, tearing a hole
IN the floor and SCATTERING seat, but doing
no other injury. The train was DELAYED about
an hour and a half by the accident Boston
