A correspondent of the Mobile Register,

A wire ballot box has been exhibited in
New Y ork. 1t is made of 10. II network
wire. The top is heavy double cross tin,
with an aperture in the center for the depos-
it of ballot, and forms lid to the box,
with lock TO fasten it down. The corners
are bound with heavy tin similar to the lid,
to give the whole requisite strength. This
will bear a pressure on the top of five hun
dred pounds. 1t will be seen that the box
is capable of being looked through, and pre-
cludes the possibility of "stuffing." The
inventor has taken out patent.
A singular wager, says the Salut Public,
of Lyons, has just been decided here. One
of the best swimmers Of the city made
bet that he would cross the Rhone on his
back, carrying on his stomach small table,
on which should be placed two bottles full
of wine, six eggs on plate, and four
glasses. The fall of any one of these objects
would involve the loss of the wager The
swimmer, however, crossed the river with

Doctor Robbins, of Rochester, while en-
gagged in cleaning some vessels, drank from
a graduated measure quantity of strych-
nine in solution, probably mistaking it for
something else. Finding from his symp-
toms that he had taken poison, he at once
drove to the office of fellow practitioner,
DR.. Dolley, who administered camphor,
sweet oil, tincture Of gelseminum, and
finally chlorofom, with good effect. The
Doctor must be very young one, not to
know better than to take his own "doctor
stuff"

A Surrcnder..Given Up.

The editor of the State Journal says
We have been shown a letter from a
high source in New York, which says there
is clear evidence of coalition in that State
between the X. Ms and the Democrats
for the benefit of the American ticket.
We look upon this fact as furnishing
unmistakable evidence of surrender of
all hope by the slave Democracy of elect
ing by the people. The object is by car
rying the State of New York for Fillmore
to throw the election into the House of
Representatives, where they can have an
other shuttle of the political cards, and
where such adopts as Herbert and Brooks
can be allowed TO take hand.

hour last night. The county was we'll rep
rescntcd--an unusual number of able men
being Delegates The proceedings of the
convention were characterized by harmony.
| enthusiasm and the best of feeling. The
claims of every man were discussed eandidly
and impartially. and every measure treated on
its own merits--a marked characteristic of this
convention was the independent spirit ID nanifes-
ted by 1t. There WAS nothing like intrigue
or COLLISION The business was not managed
by secret wire pullers as is too often the case,
but it was evident that the people were doing
their own business in their own way
The action of the convention. SO firm, so de-
cided, SO unsel6sh. will have the best effect in
strengthening our organization. drawing it's
bonds of union closer. and rendering it ire
sistible. After the judicious course taken,
we are really at loss to conceive what dodge

position that will be deserving moments no.

Presidency they do not care--they can make
nothing, out of that; but every nerve must
be strained ir order to defeat the democratic
county ticket, SO that they may secure ma
Jority in the next Legislature. With all
their efforts it will cost them great many
dollars to carry Cambria county.

the Democracy of Cambria rebuked the i'm

control the Delegate elections in some districts
out did not meet with any success he has
however, learned lesson which may be use

can no longer control the politics of Cambria

The employees. under the supervision Of
Mr. Calohan, to their honor be it said eyer
clsed the plainest rights of Democrats. Thew
or at least large portion of them, paid no
attention to the edct of the Superintend.nt
but voted as they thought best. We are Gu
rlous to see whether he will carry out his ,t-
tempt to rule by discharging these men, who
had Independence enough to choose for them
