-A A Boston mechanic named McGowan,
has contracted with the Russian government
for the removal of the ships Of war which
were sunk in the harbor Of Scpastopol, for
the defence of the town. The vessels were
made air tight and were supplied with orif-
ces to attach hose to pump them out. On
attempting to raise them in this manner the
seams were found tc have started to such a
degree as to render it impossible. They
will now be raised by chains and large scows
made for the purpose, applied to tho ships by
men in submarine armor. There are l2l
vessels in all and the price to be paid is
said to be in the vicinity of $500. 1000.
- According to the New York Times,
in the event of there being no choice of a
President by the people, the Democrats have
concocted plan to prevent Mr.. Fillmores s
name from going before the House Of Rep
rcsentatives, and thus to force choice be-
tween buchanan aud Fremont 1t is to be
accomplished in this way. The Couslitu-
ton provides that the names of only the
three highest candidates voted for Ill the
electoral college are to 60 to the House OF
Representatives. The Buchanan men arc
to divide their votes in the clectorial college,
one-half voting for Mr.. Buchanan, the other
for Governor Wise or any chosen name, so
as to give to 10th 4 hi igher vote than Fill
more and thus exclude him from the House.
- The Democrats are called "Bucha-
nicrs," in dcrision by their opponents. 1t
is meant for pun upon Mr.. Drchanan's
name, and also as signifyng the buchanier-
ing character, as they represent it, of the
Ostend circular. But the democrats have
given this cpithct happy turn against their
opponents, as follows: "But what means
our new title of Buchanicr? At loss to
solve this query, We have consulted Web
stcr's Unabridged Dictionary, and find that
the primary Specification to the word is, cone
whose business is to hunt wild cattle and
swine Quite appropriate, truly We are
quite rcconcilcd to The title. We are hunt
ing just that sort of game, and We like to
hear them below and squcal in response to
our discharges. ."-Inion.
"A young man named William Haush-
ton, employed in Wright's dry good store,
was taken to DR.. Freeman's Office ycrterday
in state of great suffering, caused by spi-
der's bite near the abdomen, received few
hours before. The case was treated by DR.:
Freeman two or three other physicians were
called in during the afternoon but as the
patient was very low, and they belong to Il
different school from Dr. Freeman, they did
not act in the matter. The suffcriugs of Mr..
II. continued to increase until late in the af-
tcrnoon, when he died, apparently from the
effects of the bite. The case has already
excited considerable attention in the medical
profession, and our physicians, of long prac
ticc, state that it is the only affair Of the
kind Which has ever come within their knowl-
