THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Preparations to ascertain The Result
We understand says the Boston
Traueler that the Associated Press of
the United States are making the
most extensive and thorough prepare
tons to collect from all parts Of the
Union, this side of the Rocky Noun
tains, the result of the Presidential
Election on the fourth day of next
month. In the State of Pennsylvania,
for instance, there is very large ex-
tent of territory, with, 10 many places,
bad roads In that State alone, sever
al thousand dollars will be expended,
and if there is 10 failure of agents a
decisive indication Of the result, there
will, at an early hour the next morn
ing, be obtained. The same may be
said of the great State of New York.
AS soon, therefore, as the polls close
on the fourth day of November next,
in all parts of the Union the work will
begin. Horses, locomotives and the
electric telegraph will collect and car
ny to common centre the returns of
the various States, where they will be
put into shape and again transmitted
to every State ard city of the Union,
traversed by the telegraphic wire.

Harrison Circuit Court, the grand jury
found about seventy indictments. of
these, one was against Horace Greeley
for circulating in Harrison county his

IL The Boston Post, is SO fond Of
Jokes, that it il hard to tell when the
editor is Ia sound and sober earnest.
Death is grave subject TO joke about,
however; hence we take the following
as a solemn fact
Mr.. Abner Hogg, who died in New
Boston, N. H., few days ago, at the
age Of ninty seven years, was a ssd'er
Of the Revolution, and fought m Bun.
ker Hill and on several other fields.
He felt deep interest in the result of
the present contest, and "Stand by
the Union" were among the last words
he uttered.
Among tho last words " The
Post should have said "tbe last" be-
cause il is this, that gives them value,
and it is no harm to take poetic
license, for the sake Of poetry. II
they we're the last, aud Mr.. Hogg
said nothing more, before giving up
the ghost certainly he could have
said nothing after, and his name might
be added to the list Of great men--
made great by their last words.

THE AUToMAT1oN CLAR1oNBT PLAY,

speaks of a curious automation now on
exhibition in that city: 1t represents
very large tloubadour, and, if il
were not for certain death-ike ex-
preston in and about the eyes, would
pass very well for living figure
The motions are perfectly natural and
very graceful. We have examlney the
machinery inside of this model musi
clan, and can but express our wonder
at lis elaborateness and elegant finish
1t was invs nted apd made upon the
Island of Java. The visitor can at
once comprehend it method. The
action is similar to that of a self-actin2
barre organ. The notes are legitim.
ately produced through the clari-
onet held by the figure, and by the
fingers, precisely as they would be by
a living player. The airs produced
are numerous-some of them very
difficult. The fingers are worked by
steel limitations of the natural musca1
and tendons of the arms and hands
We have seen several automations Of
rare and marvellous construction, but
none to equal this. Everybody should
90 to see it. The exhibitor will allow
you to examine the mechanism while
it is in operation.

Sr. PAuL.-A correspondent, wri

ST.. PAuL.-A correspondent, writ
ing from this place, says:
| can now tell you something about
st. Paul and vicinity as they arc. The
census was finished this week. Min
nesota Territory has a population of
10000; st. Paul has 10000 In
1e49 it numbered about 500 persons.
A great many new buildings are now
going up, and everything is lively. If
a man wants to come out here to To-
cate he can't miss it but what pnzzels
me and other new corners is, there are
SO many good places it is hard to
choose. Good carpenters get 81 80
to SO so per day; masons the same !;
girls at house work, 50, So, and 81 a
week in hotels and boarding houses,
81.
St. Anthony and Minneapolis are
smart places, with population of 4 :
600; but, in my opinion, St. Paul
will always keep ahead, as it is the
head of navigation for large steam
boats on the Mississippi, and the de
pot for the supply of a vast region OF
the finest soil in the United States.

FLETCHER WEBSTER, (SoN OF DAN
TEL WEBsrEh) Every now end then,
something appears in an Old Line
Wing or New Line Democrat paper
with the above head FLETCHER Web
ster, Son of Danl. Webster" This is
the verriest bosh aud nonsense. Has
not the idea been long exploded, thatno
son inherits the right to reap profit
from the acts of his father Do men
in the present century, and in the
United States of America, claim that
they are entitled to the buried honors
Of ancestry or is it not rather expect
ed, that each and every man shall be
The architect of bis own moral and in
telIectual structure Does it follow
that because Mr.. Clay was a great
Statesman that all Of Mr.. Clay's pro-
geny to the fourth and fifth generation,
must per force be great Statesmen :
Not at all, the idea is an exploded one.
Each man IN the nation is expected to
carve out bis own way to fame and
fortune, the road being open alike to
all. Providence is not partial in the
distribution of her intellectual favors,
and we often meet man IN the coun
try hut or the city attic, who poor as
he may seem TO the eye, is rich in the
treasures of God-like mind.
Tell us gentlemen, what Mr.. Fletch
err Webster--or Fletcher any body
else has to say on his own account and
not as the iuhertor of mere name,
and we will give his opinion weight
according to It's worth. Fletcher WEB
ster is made of no better stuff, than
Fletcher Fudge. Sometime ego, we
noticed that an immense to do, was
made over the fact that son of Mr.
Clay was on the stump for Mr.. Blu

other son Of Mr. Clay is (if we are no
mistaken1 is an inmate Of an insane asy

We regret TO learn (says the Washing

the illness Of Senator Clayton, is of SO
serious nature as to preclude the hope
Of permanent restoration to his ac-
custemed vigorous health. The Dele
ware State Reporter, of Tuesday last,
says:
Mr.. Clayton, we understand, has
been confined to bis room, ut the resi-
dence of Mr.. Gomegys, in this town,
for two or three weeks past. Of the
particular nature of his complaint we
have not been informed, but bis physl-

ever entirely recover. On Saturday
last he joined the Presbyterian Church
and took the sacrement in his apart
ment at Mr.. Comegy's.'
