John C. Breckinridge Of Kentucky.

Among the distinguished men of
the eou ntry, no one of his age occu-
pies prouder position in the eye Of
the nation, than the gallant Kentucky
statesman who has been nominated
for the Office of Vice President of the
United States. From his first en-
trance into the congressional arena,
as the Representative of the home
district Of the immortal Henry Clay,
be has won the highest encomiums
that a generous people can bestow
upon true greatness. He was elected
at an early age to the Kentucky Leg
islature, where he had troops of friends
and admirers. When war against
Mexico was declared, he enrolled
himself as volunteer in the brave
Kentucky regiment, and was elected
Major. In ali that glorious strug-.
gle he eyinced a noble courage and
daring that stamped him the hero.
In whatever situation he has been
placed, he, has discharged his duties
with ability and honor. Higher re-
sponsibilities await him; the American
people appreciate his rare excellence,
and will give tangible evidence Of the
fact at the coming election in Noyem-
Der next.

A CURIoslTY.--The Baltimore
Patriot says: "There was recently
brought to this country from the
island of Java, on board the United
States steam frigate Macedonia, and
has since been brought to this city,
a curiosity known as the Mouse
Deer, the first we have ever seen
and probably the first which has
ever been seen here. When full
grown they are about the size of the
ordinary rabbit of our forests, and
shaped like the American deer.
The limbs are very delicate, and the
boof which is cloven. is almost trans
parent. In color they are reddish
brownwith white breast and stomach.
From the nose and extending back
to the ear is tan colored stripe on
each side, and the lower jaw white
stripe, forming trident. They are
easily -domesiicated. The eye is
large and projecting, but the ears
are short and oblong. They are
said ebe very swift, and their ap-
pearance would indicate it, as they
are formed precisely like the red
deer of this country.

How They now Talk.

The know nothing papers after
asserting for months past that the
democrats could carry no northern
State, now assert that the election in
Pennsylvania, was carried by improp-
er influences. Old line whig, and
democratic speakers, Preston and
Clay of Kentucky, and Toombs and
Cobb Of Georgia have, they say, been
making speeches in Pennsylvania
for weeks that are past. And are
these papers afraid Of Southern men?
A host Of abolitionists from the north,
led on by N. P. Banks, have also
thoroughly canvassed Pennsylvania,
but they say nothing against this
it was in aid Of their own cause
Can the people fail tosee that there
are really but two parties in this
contest. The thing is plain enough.

A Sporting Fish.

! A DEAD SHOT. An interesting
account is given in the eleventh
'inomber of the Elinbnrg Philosoph
ical Journal, of the calculator fish
Of Java, by a gentleman who bad
an opportunity of examining some
specimens of it in the possession oI
a chief. The fish were placed in a
small circular pond, from the center
Of which projected a pole upwards
Of two feet in height. At the top
of this pole we're inserted several
small pieces Of wood, sharpened at
the points, on each of which were
tanstixed some insects of the beetle
tribe. When all had become quiet
after the beetles had been secured,
the fish, which retired during the
operation, came out of their hiding
places, and began to circle round
the pond. One, Of them at length
rose to the surface of the water and
after steadily fixing its eyes for some
time upon an insect, discharged from
its mouth small quantity Of water
like fluid, with such force and precis-
ion as to drive the beetle off the
twig into the water where it was in
stantly swallowed. After this anoth-
er fish came and performed the same
feat, end was followed by the rest
till all the insects had been devoured
The writer observed, that if a fish
failed in bringing down its prey at
the first shot, it SWAN round the
pond untilit came opposite the same
object and fired again. In one In
stance, he remarked one Of the fish
:hree times to the attack
befere it secured its prey; but in
general they seem to be expert shots,
bring down the game at the very
first discharge. The jaculator, in
1 state of nature, frequents the banks
of rivers in search Of food. When
t spies fly settling on the plants
hat grow in shallow water, it swims |
IN the distance of from five to six
eet from them, ,and then, with surpris-
ng dexterity, elects from its tubular
mouth a single drop Of fluid, which rare
y fails to strike the Fly into the water,
Vhere it is Immediately sallOwed.

Two STORIES MIxED.-We once
heard a fellow, famous all over the
country for his tough yarns, tell the
following. He was speaking of the
heavy wheat he had seen in New
York State:
My father said he, sonce had a
field of wheat, the heads Of which
were so thick, that a flock Of wild
turkeys, when they came to eat it,
could walk around on it anywhere.
We suggested that the turkeys
must have been small ones.

And strewsd the fields with flowers;
The thirsty land for moisture waits,
And 10! the gracious showers!

A solaoe at her breast.

James Buchanan Of Pennsylvania

4 This distinguished statesman was
born in Franklin county, Pennsyl.
vania, and is emphatically a selfmade
man. He has risen by worth and
merit alone, and not by wealth or
family influence. In 1914 he was
elected to the State Legislature. In
1920 he was elected Representative
to Congress. In 1881, after retiring
from Congress, he received the unso-
licited appointment from Gen. jack
son of Minister to Russia; on his re-
turn from that mission, he was elected
to the United States Senate. He
remained in that body until 1S45;
having been twice reelected, when he
resigned, and accepted the Office of
Secretary of Safe under President
Polk. In 1S49 he returned to his
home in Pennsylvania, where he re-
NAMED until called upon to accept |
the important office Of Minister to
England by President Pierce. In
each and all these highly important
positions, he discharged his duties
with signal ability and to the admi.
'ation of candid men of every polit-
cal party. His life is without stain
his whole record is free from blem-
sh. He is destined to be the next
President of the United States as
as bis life shall be spared
Until the fourth of March, 1857. He

Snow and Cold Weather.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Of the

day of October a strong resemblance

Va. 1t was succeeded by severe
frosts, which killed the buckwheat

A Musket Ball Lodging in The Blad.
der, and Removed by IncisioR.

Peter Hoffman, soldier in the
Mexican War, under General Scott,
received before Chapultepee a mus.
ket ball in his left groin, and was dis
abled from further service in eonse-
quence. He was confined for some-
time, but recovered, though the ball
had not been extracted. His recove-
ry, however, did net last long; bat
symptoms Of disease Of the bladder,
which, previous to the receipt of the
injury, he never had felt, became
more AID more apparent, disabling
him from following his occupation as
a shoemaker. Some months back,
his suiferings having became aggra-
waited, he placed himself under the
care Of DR.. Walter, of New York,
who, after an examination Of his case,
discovered stone in his bladder,
which, after having been removed by
incision, and broke open, contained
the bullet, which, entering the groin
had passed into bis bladder, and be-
came encrusted with calculus mat
ter. The patient made rapid re-
covery; his su1erings having ceased
with'the removal Of the bullet which
had become a stone.

democrats were beaten by the black
republicans. The democrats, how.
ever, made important gains over the
previous election. Who feels sure

The Nashville Union says: GAS
nobody made any calculation that
the democrats would carry Ohio, the
result in favor Of black republican
ism has excited no remark. In the
present Congress the democrats have
not a single member from Ohio. We
have now elected FIVE, which is a net
gain Of five. We gain also four in
Indiana and eight or nine in Penn
sylvania. This insures a democratic
majority in the next House of Rep
resentatives. The Senate is strong
ly democratic. So that Buchanan
is sure to enter upon the Presiden-
cy with both branches of Congress
on his side"
We suppose Mr.. Banks, the pres
eDt abolition know nothing Speaker
Of the House, will be succeeded by
some decent patriotic man. This,
for which the people will be indebted
to the democratic party, will be Of
great service to the country.
