LAST WEEK, as Mr.. John R. Brown, of Hun

New York and Erie Railroad, at Jersey CITY,
his pocket was picked of S2,940. 1t is most
ly in $50 bills on the New Jersey lank.
THE Hudson Star SAYS decision has Just

gality of the practice of the Erie Railroad

cts when not obtained at the station office.

rem have selected Hon. C. B. Curtis as their
choice for Congress, and placed in nomination
G. W. Scofeld for Senator, s. P. johnson for

MANUFACTURES OF NosE.-A child was born
in Paris lately without any nose. NJ. Maison-
nouve, of Paris, took the little lady in hand
made her insensible of pain by means of
chloroform. cut such flaps SO skillfully from
the face, that when twisted into position and
perfectly healed they made very respectable
and good looking nose.
THE .Ai6aay Journal gives the following idea
of Southern logic: crust beats Mr.. .Greely, to
convince him that hsresolution ought to have
been adopted by the House; Herbert shootsa
waiter, to prove that he is entitled to break
fast after eleven O'Clock; Brooks pounds Mr..
Sumner on the head, to establish the fact that
his State is prosperous. and his uncle gen
tleman; keitt puts pistols in his pocket, to
satisfy the public that South Carolina had
more troops in the Revolution than Massachu-
sets; and Pate, with five assistants attacks
newspaper correspondent ri ct aru,i,. by way
of refutation of the charge that he is .sRuf-
fian'!;'
NIcARAGUA.-We learn that Gen. Walker
was inauguratcd President on the 18th ult.-
He received II 900 ont of total of 81 900
votes cast. Riyas still held possession of LIE.
on, and was gaining strength by the desertion
OF the natives from Walker. A league of the
Northern Central American States was bclicv-
ed to exist; and an invasion of NicaraCua
looked for at the close of the rainy season.
Walkers situation is evidently desperate, and
the worst feature of it is that the enthusiasm
IN his favor has very sensibly declined in the
United States. He needs both men and mo-
ney, but is not likely to have the want sup
piled by sympathizcrs in this country
ARRIsoS, the Torpedo man, has been tried
II
the third time at Cincinnati, for murder and
the jury brought in verdict for manslaugh-
ter! This is mere mockery of justice, and
is calculated to throw discredit upon trials bv
jury altogether. The jury in this case should
be furnished with diploma for stupidity II
Arrison was guilty of any crime. it was that
of murder. If he planned the scheme. and
sent the hellish instrument to his victims. he
was guilty of deliberate, malicious MURDER
If he did not, he was not guilty of manslaugh-
ter. We are glad to hear he is again to be put
on trial for his life for the murder of his other
victim, having only been tried for the murder
of one, which has produced this absurd YER
dict.-Pnts. Gazette.
