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

New York and Erie Railroad, at Jersey CITY.
his pocket was picked of $3.50. 1t is most

TnE Hudson Star says decision has just

Company Of charging an extra price for tick

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
Judge, Thomas Struthers for Assembly and E..

MANUFACTURE OF a NosE.-A child was born
in Paris lately without any nose. NJ. Maisou-
nouvc, Of Paris, took the little lady in hand
when she was seven months old and having
made her insensiblc of pain by means Of
chloroform, cut such flaps so skllfully from
the face, that when twisted into position and
perfectly healed they made very respectable
and good looking nose.
THE .RibGng Journal gives the following idea
Of Southern logic Crust beats Mr. .Greely, to
convince him that hsrcsoution ought to have
been adopted by the House; Herbert shoots
waiter, to prove that he is entitled to break
fast after eleven o'clock Books pounds Mr.
Sumner on the head, to establish the fact that
his State is prosperous, and his uncle a gem
tlcman Kett 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 eft ernais by way
of refutation of the charge that he is .sRuf-
fan! -
NIcARAGUA.-We learn that Gen Walker
was inaugurated President on the 18th ult-
lie received 1000 out of total of q 900
votes cast, sRiEas still held possession of Lc-
on, and was sgaining strength by the descrtion
OF the natives from Walker. i league of the
Northern Central American States was beliey-
ed to exist and an invasion of Nicaragua
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.
ARRIsoy, the Torpedo man, has been tried
the third time at Cincinnati, for murder, and
the jury brought in a verdict for manslaugh-
ter! This is 4 mere mockery of justice, and
is calculated to throw discredit upon trials By
jury altogether. The jury in this case should
be furnished with diploma for stupidity. II
Arrison was guilt 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.-PMis. Gacete.
MARRIED-0n the 3Ist July, by the Rev. A.
Crowen, Mr.. HENRY NEFF to Miss MELCENA
HrRLY, all of Cambria county.
