DEMOCRATIC NoMINArIoN.--The Democratic
Convention for the Fifteenth Judicial District
assembled in Orovlle on Monday July 10Th
aud nominated Warren T. Sexton, ESD, as the
Democratic caad date for District Judge. The
Butte Record says:
I'VE wsuld congratulate the citizens of the
District upon this nomination. Mr.. Sexton will
40 upon the bench with no Interests to subServe
but those OF law aad justice. A quiet and uu0h
trusive citizen, a lawyer of tine legal attain
meats aud sound Judgment, - gentleman of IRE.
proachable character aud studiOns habit he
will carry to the beach mind we'll stored with
requisite knowledge for the prompt, faithful
impartial honorable and dignified d scharge OF
the duties apperianing 10 the important posi-.
tiea to which he has been nominated"
kSow-NoTHTNG ORGAN.-It has been conceded
pretty generally, that the K row Nothing party
was Is dead as the old Whig cl que; that # died
Of its inanltion, having no principle whatever
to feed on, except the hope of the epoils OF
efice. in which hope it d.d well for short
space. and improved its time aud chance IN the
spelling; but it seems that in this a. in every
thing else. it is almost impossible to convince
solne folks. and We find the Sacramento 1ge
openly taking the field an organ of the KaOw
Nothing party. Whence il hopes to receive
vitality is dieult to conjecture; but the editors
are far from being dsp rited. AID seem to in-
dulge ths fancy that their party will hold the
balance or power aud re-establish its fang OH
the public Offices. The Age will be- more re-
spected as an open foe THAI If it wore the mask
OF hypocrisy aad stabbrd. as many do, from
behind the cloak Of reIfstylod ind pendence.

LITERARY NOTICES.

The AMERICAN GENTLEMAN's GUTDE TO POLITE
NESS AND FASHION; or familiar letters to his
nephews, containing rules Of etiquette, directions
for the formation Of character, etc, by Henry
Lunettes. (For sale in Brattlcboro by j. Stcen
& Son.
Any work, the tendency Of which is to inculcate
principles of good breeding and common poiteness,
will be hailed by all admirers Of the practice Of
the behaviour characteristic of a gentleman. In
no country, whose people are reckoned among the
civilized and enlightened of the earth, is there
greater lack of the practice of the amenities and
courteses of social life than in the United States.
This deficiency has been made the basis of some of
the most caustic saires Of visitors from abroad 1t
is not occasioned by any want Of good, kind feel
ing. The claims of humanity are very generally
regarded and appreciated. Itseems rather to arise
from mistaken notions of personal independence,
and as mistaken jealousy in regard to an invasion
of ous prerogatiyes. Many of the suggestions in
the above work are timely, and due regard TO
their Importance cannot fail of being productive Of
good.
AMERICAN AGRIcULTUR1sT--Thi is one of the
very best agricultural periodicals of the country.

sale in Brattleh. no by j. Steen & Son.
The above is the title of a book that gives deep
insight into the peculiar domestic condition and
social relations of the Turks. 1t is from the pen
of native of that country, who is graduate Of
the University of New-York. All the incidents
narrated have an air of romance that invests them
with singular interest. The mysteries of the ha-
rem are more fully detailed than in any former ex-
position of that subject so sacred to the Turk II
will be read with much interest.

The railroad sIaughter in Canada.

The accident at the Des Jardine bridge, near
Hamilton, Canada, on Thursday last, was the most
appalling and destructive Of life Of any railroad
catastrophe that has ever occurred in this country.
More than twice as many lives were destroyed by
it as by the similar event at Eorwalk, Ct, and il
makes a less deep and general sensation only be-
cause It's victims do not embrace as did that many
persons Of public note. With the exception Of Mr.
Zimmerman, the rich railroad contractor, thesC
who persisted at the Des Jardine bridge, are known
and Iamented only in the narrow circle Of their
own families and acquaintance. To the latter,
however. the blow is none the less terrible on this
accent, ltnpPears that there we're over lQQper-

ANOTHER SURPIsE.--We learn that as Rev. j.
c. Foster, paster of the LIST Baptist Church and
Society in Beverly, was returning home from an
evening call with his wife, on Tuesday evening last,
and came in sight of their house, they perceived
unex Sected light in the parlor, and the shadows
of visitors on the curtains. They entered with
some perpiexity Of mind as to what occupants
were to be encountered at that rather late hour,
when they were heartily greeted by substantial
committee of the parish who had come from the
annual meeting held that evening, and we're await
ing their return, to inform them that considera-
BILE increase of the pastors salary had just been
voted, very cordially and quite voluntarily, as it
had not been asked for by the pastor. This was
very pleasant and satisfactory surprise.

The Mexicans have barometer Of the most sim

cy. 1t consists only Of long strip Of cedar, very
thin, about two anda half feet in length, about an
inch wide, cut with tho grain, and set in block.
or a foot This cedar strip is backed, or lined /,
with one of white pine, cut across the grain, and
the two are tightly glued together. To bend these
when dry is to snap them, but on the approach Of
bad weather the cedar ourls over until the top at
times touches the ground. This simple instrument
is the invention of Mexican guitar maker, and
such is its accuracy that It will indicate the COM
