DEAR JERE.-I notice in the Spirit of

ship that has, in their estimation, won it,
and we will throw up our hats and give
three cheers for the successful township.
But we wish the Committee to remember
that the contract was to take into consid-
Grafton all the circumstances, and we wish
them to know that we entered the field
against an opposition, thirty eight our
superiors in number, and vigilant, skill
ful and experienced enemy and that we
succeeded in taking captive one hundred
and eleven of their men. If we do not
get the banner, we will find enough of
consolation in knowing that most glo-
rious victory has been achieved by the
National Democracy, and also by the re-
Election that we had in Calais, the largest
and best Mass Meeting of the Democracy
that was in the county, and that we re-
ceived from our own fair population a
good banner. While we claim the ban

friend William the appellation of being

Cornesl's Biographies,

We have taken some pains to examine
the series Of Biographies by S. S Cornell,
and are prepared to pronounce them de-
eidedly superior to any which have ever
fallen under our notice. That there was
ample room for improvement in this de-
partment is abundantly proven by the fact
that this science is so imperfeetly under
stood, even by scholars. There is per-
haps no branch of education Of so much
practical Importance which is not more
thoroughly mastered, Notwithstanding the
attention which is paid to it, and the i'm
portant position which it occupies in our
schools ii The deficiency is evidently not
in the teacher, but in the author. Until
very recently, Notwithstanding the multi
plicity of Hauthors, the old fashioned and
inadequate system has been adhered to.
Several authors with new systems appear
ed nearly. simultaneously during the last
year, but in our opinion Cornell has been
most successful. Tue following are some
of its. peculiarities and advantages:
lst 1t is arranged on the true Undue
tive system, commencing with elementary
principles, and proceeding step by step
until the whole ground is covered.
2uda 1t facilitates the teachers task
by neither requiring reference to tables
nor asking questions which the learner
cannot answer without aid.

miah Henderson, of Wilmington, North
Carolina, suffered for seven years and five
and three on his arms, which defied every
kind of treatment, although he used some
of the most noted remedies for the cure
of the same, both internal and external,
it was without avail. At last, he had re-
course to Holloway's Ointment and Pills,
which quickly caused the wounds to have
an improved appearance, and by continu-
ing with these remedies for ten weeks, he
was completely cured, and has ever since
enjoyed the best of health.

OBITUARY. Samuel Swartwout, best
known to the present generation in con-
nection with his enormous defalcation to
the government of the United States, died
in New York, on Friday last, aged 73
years. He was appointed collector of the
port of New York, by President Jackson,
and continued by President Van Buren.
during whose term, by engaging in land
speculations in Texas, he became a de-
faulter to the tune of one million dollars.
Those acquainted with him are charitable
enough to suppose he was led into the
wrong by others, and that he himself was
an honorable man. In its day, Swart-
wout's defalcation was number one, but
the Galphin's, Gardner's, and Schuyler's
have since completely eclipsed his little
affair.

The Storm on Friday,

The terrific gale which swept over this
region on Friday last extended not only
throughout the State, north and south,
but, it seems, from the furthest verge OF
the frozen coasts of Lake Superior to the
far off islands of the Gulf of Mexico;
whistIing and driving and roaring onward
between the peaks and pinnacles of the
Rocky Mountains on the west and the AL
leghenies on the east. Our exchanges come
to US filled with paragraphs ehronicling
disasters.
In Chicago the Democratic Press emu
merates no less than seven five story brick
buildings blowed to the ground. while in
many more walls were sprung, roofs start
ed, and windows taken out. One man
lost his life. The disasters on the lakes
are NEST certainly very serious.
In Cincinnati houses were unroofed,
chimneys blown down, and dismay and
CONSERVATION pervaded the city. Many
persons were injured more or less severe
ly .and probably several lives were lost.
At Louisville, at Evansville, at Cairo,
and at points higher and lower on the
Mississippi, steamers were torn from their
moorings, twisted, wrenched racked from
stem to stern, and in many instances all
but wrecked. Flat boats, coal boats,
barges wharf boats, almost innumerable,
from Pittsburgh to New Orleans, and from
the sources of the Mississippi and Missou-
ri to the mouth of the Ohio, suffered more
than the steuter steamers, and many of
them are sunk and are total losses

PosSpcnement OF the State Convention
We notice that the Democratic press
throughout the State with great unanimity
favor the .postponemcnt of the State con-
vention. We published last week, arti.
cles from the Plain Dealer, Enquirer and
Salesman, which, in our opinion, gave
reasons that should satisfy every one OF
the propriety of the postponement, though
there are other equally as strong reasons
as those given; but as there appears to be
but one opinion prevailing, they need not
be urged. -
We have eoayersed with many Demo
Gratis here, and find them alt in favor of
postponement.

fancee of Senator Douglas, making some
statements which are incorrect, thought
that you would, as is you usual practice,
set your contemporary right.
James Madison Cults, the father of the
lady about to become Mrs. Douglas, has
never been in the State Department, as
stated, but has for many years been in the
Second Comptroller's bureau. He is a
nephew of the celebrated Mrs. Madison,
and was named for her distinguished hus-
band, at her request. Young Cults resi-
ded for many years with his uncle and
aunt, and was great favorite with both.
Miss Ada Cults resemb.ed very much
in her manners and tone her aunt; and
those who remember Mrs NJ in her more
youthful days. say there is great person
al resemblance Miss c. has been dis
tingulshed belle here for several years, and
is now twenty -four yenrs Of age. She is
tall, with full form--graceful in move
ment, and Amiable in disposition. Her
face is remarkably beautiful, and her ed
ucation has developed well balanced and
subtle intellect. She has more good
strong common sense than any belle l ever
knew. In religion she is Catholic, hav-
ing been educated at Georgetown Nunne-
