Next MONDAY A WEEK

The Coun,y Convention is TO be held in this
place, and on Saturday preceding the delegates
ore 10 be chosen in the respective lwps. The
whole aim IN the nominations ought TO be the
fitness Of men for The place they seek and
this fitness ought 10 include every element o.
character. In this country (or more espe
cially in the Northern States) me6 seem Ia
act little loo much as if craftsmanship aad
knowledge OF political economy came by
instinct or intuition. In the Southern States
there may not be so much general nfoIma.
tion, but only the very best men are kept in
places Of public trust, and man must lave
unquestonable capacity before he can aspire
10 honors. The campaign this fall will be
an important one, as Congressman, Senator
andtwo Representatives are TO be elected {;
and for the success of the auhole ticket every
part Of it ought to be strong, and each of The
counties in our clumsy district must exhib
a spirit OF harmony and union. Our county
has character for steadfasl and soHnd po-
lilical faith for which we may we'll be proud,
and nothing but foolish divisions in our party
can defeat any one oi the nominations. True
we have few men still seeking Office who
did the dirty work for The Know NolhInes in
1854, and aided the Opposition in defeating
Democratic nominations before, but they are
so few, and mostly so penient, that we ap-
prehend no danger 10 the ticket from them.
The Convention will not be so wild as TO
nominate any such person, and there are on
ly two Of them, we believe, on the list OF
candidates.
This county has been exceedingly fortu-
nate in its public officers. 1t has sought FOR
men Of sound common-sense views rather
than for dashing or magnificent men, and its
affairs have been managed with as much
safoty, prudence and economy as those O!
any sister county. With the exceptions Of
single defalcalon, by which the public lost
nothing and few unconecled errors Of the
late Treasurer, the whole business has been
we'll done and exhibits clear aud crcdl,able
record.
None but me.impertnent or ignorant ad-
venturer who may have been snubbed in
some "smau" project of leeching will ever
complain. The lax paying citizens of The
county have reason 10 be well pleased and
while there are many objects (some merilo-
riousI desiring arserl appropriation of the
public money, the toiing yeomcn Of the
county who pay The taxes feel that these are
already heavy enough. as is evident from The
difficulty OF collecting them.

A FAST YoUNa' MAN.-The barkeeper Of
of the Howard Hotel. who has been living
like prince for the last seven years, was
brought before Justice Walsh, a. the lower
police court, Rev York, on Monday, on
charge Of embezzling from time 10 time some
$50, 900 from his employer. The accused
kept fast company and fas, horses. all of
S25 ger month and found. Mr.. Lamb, the
proprietor, wondered much at this, but could
not bring himself 20 believe That his bartender
was playing him false. At length, he EN-.
ployed person TO remain one day in the
bar-room, and keep record of The number
of glasses sold. The result was, that dis.
crepaEcy of $50 was discovered between the
number OF drinks sold and the receipts ac,
counted for. Ex.police officer Farley was
then sent TO watch Adams, and soon ascer.
tanned that he associated with sporting men
and fast women, and that he frequently speni
al houses of ill.resorl more than his months

AN IMMENSE ORGAN.--The great organ pla-
ced in the Tower Hall al Liverpool, is one oi
the marvels of musical mechanism. Ii con
sists OF four rows of keys, siyty-three notes
and two octavoes and haf Of pedals, thirty
notes. There are los stops and 5000 pipes,
varying in length from thity-two feet 10 three
eighls Of an inch, len oclavoes apart. The
grand source of wind is from two immense
bellows, each having three feeders, placed
in the vault below the floor of the hall. These
are blown by steam engine, consisting Of a
pair of oscllating cylinders. There are beside
twelve other bellows or reservoirs, each Civ
ing it's own appropriate pressure of air to
those stops or pipes which it supplies. The
pneumatic lever is applied 10 each of The
manuals distinctly or separately 10 manual
couplers. To the pedal organ there is doub'
le sci of pneumatic levers but the most elab'
orate use Of the power is found in its applica
tion TO the combination OF slops-t beiGe
exhibited in a compound form TO each orgar

where by one operation the player is enabled
10 produce combination Of stops upon the
entire instrument at once.

Bernard, tue Pfesi dent, presented an interest
ing paper relating 10 The amount OF donations,

~ The Coordination Saw.Mill," is

W The "Combination Saw-Nill," is an
ingenious machine of IFS class, composed of
o single frame, the timbers of which are
about eighteen inches square, either of oak
or other hard wood, securely fastened to-
gether by strong iron bolts. The framework
is described as seven feet long, seven feet
deep below the bed pieces, and five feet
wide. The main shaft is three and one-hali
inches in diameter, and the driving-pulley
twenty-five inches in diameter and nine inch
face. The pitman wheel is of solid iron,
and is three feet in diameter; the pitman is
of iron, four feet long, and is connected with
the saw by an oscillating cross-head This
arrangement of the slides and cross-head is
new, and enables the saw TO play up and
down with the desired rapidity, without gra-
ling and heating. 1t also secures uniform
bearing on all parts, without regard TO the
position of the saw. -.-.. .s..-
