Tvs BRsr JOKE or THE SEASON. Senator
Wade has been long known for his bold and
incorporating hostility to the entertainments
of the slave power, bu, few Of his admirers ev-
or suspected him of being wae. lie has late
ly perpetrated joke that is worth recording.
The correspondent Of the New York Times
writes:
''Senator Wade Of Ohio, met the detection of
Douglas and Stuart with the declaration that il uas
The first Stare insurrsction he erer sdio "A sugges-
ton which excited not little morriment among
those who heard it,
Hale Of New Hampshire must look TO his

uTAH.-lfthe President had intended TO write
the condemnation Of not only his own policy,
but that of his predecessor also, in reference 10
Utah, he could hardly have done II in more apt
words than in the following paragraph in his
message:
"This il the first rebellion which has existed in
our Territories, and humanity itself requires that
we should put it down in such a manner that il
shall be tho last. To trifs with it would be 10 en-
courage it and render it formidable. We ought to
go there wih such imposing force as to convince
these deluded people that resistance would be vain.
and thus spare the efiusion of blood'
1t is unfortunate that Mr.. Buchanan had no,
thought Of this last summer, when he ordered
colonel's command to Utah, while thousan ds
of troops were retained in Kansas to uphold an
odlous usurpaiion. His convictions as contain
ed in this portion of his message do not at all
conform with his practice.

SAD ACCIDENT IN AsuUkLor.-A very sad affair
happened in Ashuelot, N. H., on Saturday morn
ing last. A little son of Silas Priest, about six
years ofage, went into the Pail Factory Of Mr. Ball,
and attempted to kindle fire in one of the stoves
in an upper room. He had seen the workmen use
turpentine in the operation so he took up dish 4
that article, which happened to stand near him,
containing two quarts ofthat combustible fluid, and
poured some Of it upon the fire which still remain
ed in the stove. The flames communicated with
the turpentine in the dish, which the boy in his
fright swung back and forth covering himself with
the burning liquid. With great eIertion the flames
were extngushed but not in season to preserve the
life Of the boy, who died the following evening.
REaovAL AND APPoIEraENT.-We learn that
Leonard Disco, who has been Clerk Of the Cheshire
County Court for fifteen years, has been removed,
and Edward Farrar, ESQ.,, of Keene, has been ap-
pointed in his place.

san FRAscrsco Sept. 49, 1857.
Gentlemen The election held in this State on the
"a of September, resulted in brilliant victory for
the Democracy. all that an unscrupulous party and
corrupt press could do was done to defeat the eec
tion of John B. Weller but he was sustained by the
people of the State triumphantly sustained, for his
msiority over both his opponents ia 10000. Black
Repuolicanism is dead in this State, and trust will
never revive.
Mr.. Stanly has disappeared from public view, and
is now permitted to enjoy that repose which he 60
