ted,
A communication was received from

HANDS ON YOUR Pocket Books
From the large daily arrival Of strangers,
in our city, it is natural to be supposed
that there are among the number many
"light-fngered" gentry, and we would
say to one and all, Glands on your pocket
books" Also keep an eye on your
places of business and residences, for the
foul work of incendiarism has already
commenced in our midst. Tt is the duty
of all good citizens to aid one another
in this good cause, and should the city
authorities refuse to appoint an additional
police, our business men would do well
to move in the matter themselves, in order
that their property and lives may not be
endangered Pick-pockets and incendia-
ries are capable of anything but a good
act. Look to it, one and all.

JUDGE wILMOT's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE

In another column will be found q letter
from Judge WILMOT, accepting the nomination
for Governor. 1t is an able, manly and ear.
nest document, such as might have been ex-
pected from the author, asserting iC eloquent
language the Rights of Free Labor. The po-
sitions assumed appeal directly to the hearts
and consciences and interests of the toing
millions of the country to all of which Sla.
very and Slave Labor is so Numerically OPP
posed. The man must be bigotted indeed, or
wifully stubborn, who can read this letter
without feeling that its statements are correct,
aud that its author is only seeking to stay the
growing power Of that mighty Aristocracy,
which has no sympathies in common with the
Free Laboring Man, but would degrade him
to level with their human chattels We shall
be greatly mistaken if the people of Pennsyl-
vana do not, at the ballot-box, express their
appreciation of the views and principles express
ed in this letter, and their appreciation of the
high purposes and consistent course of the
author

ROMAN CArHoLICs.-We learn from the
Binghamton Republic of the 28th ult, that the
mission of the Redemptorists is still in progress
at the Roman Catholic Chapel of that village.
The following was the programme Oh Tuesday
evening last:
This evening the ceremony of renewing the
baptismal VOW is to take place, and a sermon
preached explaining and vindicating the true
doctrines of the Catholic Church, to which
Protestants are invited to listen. This even
ing every member of the church is to take q
sperm candle, which is to be left after the SER
vices for the use of the ltar.
To prevent any mistakes in the candles, and
to insure uniformity in them, the congregation
were informed that several boxes of candles
would be at the door OF the church. where
they could be procured from men in attendance
at eight cents piece. Sperm will be in de-
mand this evening and must rise in market
The congregation were also informed, for the
next three doys seven priests would be in at
tendance at the church to receive confessions,
all would have an opportunity to confess and
were eXorted to avail themselves of the priv
lege. This mission is undoubtedly very effec-
tua in reviying the church, and may be called
the ''protracted meeting" of the Catholics.

DEPLoRABLE CAsUALrY.-In the former part
of last week, boy named George MColum,
aged about l3 years, resident of East Buffaloe
township, Union County, came to his death in
the following manner. 1t appears thathe had
quantity of gunpowier in his pocket, and hay
ing laid down upon a pile of straw, he fell
asleep While in this situation, (and matches
it is supposed, in his pocket, the powder ignit-
ed, set fire to his clothing and the straw, burn
ing him terribly. Medical aid was brought
into requisition, and poultices applied to ease
the pain, and, if possible to save his life. He
fingered in intense agony until Friday MORN

REPUBLICAN VIcToRIEs.-The recent elec-
tions in the West have shown that the Repub-
lican fires are burning brightly The majori-
ty for Republican Judges of the Supreme
Court in Wisconsin will be 10000, and, per-
haps, more. Michigan has again rebuked Gen.
CAss and the doughfaces by giving her Re
publican Supreme Judges nearly $4,000 ma
jority and electing six of the eight Circuit
Judges, the Democrats having but one, and a
union of all other parties having defeated the
Republican candidate in one other district
The Republicans have likewise carried the
eight University Regents. In Iowa, the cleo
ton for Judges, Treasurer, and the local Off
GERS was not warmly contested, the vote hav-
ing been very light, and the result doubtful.

\ MANIAC IN a SrAGE.-A strange affair,

took place about two miles from Eddyville,

RSr The Canandaigua and Elmira Road
(from Jefferson to Canandaigua) was sold
last week under foreclosure of the third mort
gage 1t brought $50, 900, and the rolling
stock, &c, $4,000. The road is subject to
two prior mortgages, in the aggregate $780,
600, and to about SIS, 900 due the operatives
on the road. The third mortgage bond hold
ers will receive about 10c. in the dollar. The
stock and fourth mortgage are wiped out
The road was purchased by parties in Emira,
Penn-Yan and Providence, r. l., and will be
put in good running order at once. A similar
sale of the Canandaigua and Niagara Falls
Railroad will take place shortly, when it is
thought that the two roads will fall into the
hands OF one company and be consolidated.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

The Convention of School Directors held at
this place on Monday last, was not very fully
attended, owing to the storm, which prevented
many from reaching town. Prof. CHARLES
r. CoBURN was elected County Superintend-
ent, with a salary of $1,000
We had looked with much confidence to q
full Convention, and We learn from every
quarter of the County that arrangements had
been made for general attendance of the Di-
rectors-but the severity of the storm on Mon
day was such as to keep at home many who
had calculated upon being present. Our re-
gret, however, is diminished by the fact, that
but two names were presented to the Conven-
tion as candidates-those of Prof CoBURN and
ED. GEO. LANDoN-both of whom are univer
sally admitted to combine all those qualities of
education, and experience and skill necessary
for an efficient discharge of the duties of the
Office. In the hands of either, the Common
School cause was safe and the Office oil Coun-
ty Superintendent would have fair trial
Mr.. CoBURN having been elected we bespeak
for him the confidence and cooperation of the
friends Of education throughout the County.
He enter upon the duties of the office under
many and unusual disadvantages with wide
spread prejudice against the Office itself, on
the part of the public, coupled with but
faint hope that it may be made useful. He
will devote his whole time to the welfare of
the Common Schools, entering into the work
CON 0nlore, bringing to it the experience of
many years, and heartfelt devotion to their
interests.
The liberal spirit manifested by the conven-
tion was worthy of remark, and praise. As
unfavorable as has been the experience of the
prat three years, there was a general dsposi-
tion to give the Office fair trial, and for that
purpose liberal salary was cheerfuy voted
In answer to many inquiries we would state
that the term of Office of the Superintendent
will commence on the first Monday IN June
nert, being the first day of that month

A MERIToRIoUs AcT-On last Sabbath
morning, JAMES EDWARD, a son of Mr.. Achen-
BACH of Berwick, a lad eight years, was rid
ing a horse to the river to water, in company
with his elder brother, who was also riding one
and leading two others. While at the falls
the place where they were accustomed to water
them-the horses became unmanageable, and
the one which James was riding gave sudden
leap from the slope wall directly into the river,
precipitating the boy over his head some twen-
ty feet from shore. The water being very
high and the current swift, the boy was carried
down the stream at rapid rate. just at this
moment WIN. b. AVERY, son of the Rev. j
r. AVERY, Pastor of the Congregational
Church, in the town of Franklin, Connecti-
cut, was standing on the bank of the river
witnessing the awful struggle the little fellow
was making to save his lite From the nature
of the falls at this place-the steepnesS of the
slope wall and the stage of the water, to jump
in to the boys rescue, was almost certain death
to both yet, as the little fellows head ap.
peared above the water for the last time, with
his little hands stretched heavenward, as il
impIoring help, Mr. AVERY, without making
any preparation whatever, plunged into the
rapids to his aid, and as he was going down,
encircled his arms around the boys waist
and with great difficulty reached the shore
and saved James Edward from watery grave
No man, but at the peril of losing his own life
could have saved this drowning boy. The ex,
ample of Mr.. AVERY, a stranger as he is, and
knowing not whose son he was rescuing from
the water, is worthy of imitation, and justly
deserves the admiration of the world-BlOOms

come the purchaser, the price is to be $9,00O.-
