of building material in his hat

cTipt, has hauled down the Fillmore flag and
run up that of Fremont and Dayton.
VIVID IMAGISATIoN-after indulging freely
to get on ssall-fours'' and suppose you're GO

OvERDosEp-our ssdeviP' with laudanum.-
We call that stopping the diarrhea with a ven
geancei Stopped his locomotive powers also !
THE New Y ork, New-F oundland and London
Telegraph Company, have succeeded in recoy-

submarine cable, lost some time since.

son, New Jersey, Samuel Smith, Esq, Demo-
cratic Mayor of the city, and one of the pro-
prietors of the New Jersy Locomotive works,
presided.
COSTA RICA.--Thc war is at an end for the
present; the Costa Ricans have lost 700 men.
There ale not laborers enough TO harvest the
coffee crop, large portion of which will be
lost in consequence.
SINCE Mr.. Buchanan has been nominated
for President, at the Baltimore market and
other places, ten cent piece is called a ssJim-
my - it being the price for days labor that
be said would spread blessings and benefits
over the country.
CAN'T Go 1r.-The Pulaski Democrat, the
Democratic organ for Eastern Oswego county,
refuses to go the Buchanan ticket. Its edi-
tor Mr.. Hatch, was the Democratic candidate
for Senator last fall. He has resolved he cant
travel the s'downward road'' any farther.

provisions from New Orleans. The country is
under martial law, and no is permitted to
leave without pass from Walker. All cor

her husband. He had seen fit to 60 away with
q woman, but, becoming weary of her, had re-
turned to his first love. Mrs. A. received her

\ TERRIBLE TORNADO passed over Franklin
county, N. Y. on the Sth, sweeping down for
ests, scattering fences, destroying all manner
of buildings and other property and leaving
nothing but desolation on its track The vii
lage of Chateaugay is a complete desolation
not building escaped injury and some are
entirely destroyed. Riding along the road
from Burke to Chateaugay, one hundred and
| eighty-iye buildings can be counted either
unrooied, blown down or moved.
| Cor. FREMONT AND SLAvEnoLDISG.-Allud
/ ing to the statement that Col. Fremont is a
Shareholder, the editor of the Milwaukee Free
Democrat states, ''on the authority of John c.
| Fremont himself, that he never owned slave
and was always opposed to the practice o.
holding slaves, and resolved ,early in life, new.
er to be implicated in the business of buying
selling or holding men and women as chattels
| This we had from the lips of both John c. Ere
mont and his accomplished lady"
THE TRIAL of Preston S. Brooks, for his as
sault on Senator Sumner took place ir thC
Criminal Court at Washington on the 8th.-
After hearing the evidence, Judge Crawford
pronounced the judgment of Court, which wa
that Brooks pay fine of $500. This is tht
heaviest fine for assault and battery that VIZ
ever knew to be imposed, and shows in wha
| light the assault was regarded. The matter
has yet to undergo investigation in the House
of Representatives, where, if justice is meteC
out to him, he will still receive a severer rep
rimand by being expelled.
IS FIx.-The Democracy of JefTerson co
are in regular s'fx' just now. AT their coun
ty convention held on the End instant, they
declared that Hon. D. Barclay was their choic'
for Congress, and delegate to the State con
vention. Since then Mr.. Barclay has taken
step in favor of admitting Kansas as Free
State, which has caused the Locofoco paper
in the district to pour out their vias of wratl
upon him. How the Jefferson Democracy vii
get out of the scrape, remains to be seem
The Jeffersonian refuses 10 place his name
