suoSERs-It being nearly eighty years dnee
the close Of the War Of the Revolution, Il
becomes matter Of interest and curiosity
TO know the names Of the surviving relicts
of that great struggle, whose lives have
been prolonged to such an unusual and ex-
traordinary length. Through the polite
pess of Captain Joel Green, tie United States
Pension Agent in this city, we are enabled
20 give the names of those who draw pen
ton in his district, which comprises about
Kenton and Compbell. in Kentucky, and
two adjacent counties in Indiana. In this
large area Of territory, comprising full one
and half millions Of people, there are but
three Revolutionary pensioners. The fol-
lowing are the names Of these remnants Of
the days Of l77S
Jonas Frame, of Hamilton county.
John Strait. Of Gallia county
William Jones, Of Clermont county.
Each Of these veterans must be nearly
one hundred years old. As an instance Of
how near at hand is the utter and total ex-
tinction in the United States Of the last one
of the Revolutionary vcterans-who, only q
few years ago. were comparatively quite
numerous-we may mention that, in 1858
when Mr.. Green was appointed Pension
Agent, there were twenty four Revolution
airy veterans upon his list. All but three
have since deceased. Soon, very soon there
will not be in this Union one single surviv
or of the war thst ended in the establish
ment OF our observation-disclosures En-

T desperate and fatal fight occurred
at Dsrsville, Indiana, last Saturday, be-
tween desperate named Clifford, who was
accused of burning barn, and three men.
respectively named Nose Keany, Frank
Harper and Kelly, who sought to arrest
him. The sheriff had failed to make the ar
rest, and employed Keeny to do it. He en-
tered Clifford's house by the back door, &C
companied by his aids. while Clifford was
engaged in bui ding fire. and Immediately
siezed him. Clifford drew knife and stab
bed Keeny. The latter held on and called
Harper to assist. Harper responded. when
Clifford plunged the knife into his body up
to the hit. The former staggered out OF
the house and fell in the yard. Clifford's
vie and daughter meantime pitched in
with shovels, and ratified them upon Kee-
ny and Kelly with Amazonian vigor Kel-
ly finally seized the wife and threw her
sprawling upon the breakfast table among
the dishes. while Keeny struggled with
Clifford. After placing the madame hors
du combat, Kelly went back and finally en-
abled keeny to master Clifford, whom they
bound and afterwards took to Jail. Har-
per was found ten rods distant from the
house, but died five days after.-Cin Com.

BARBARous SuPERsTInoN.-We have Just
learned of very barbarous piece of super
stition which has just occurred near Glenns
Falls-some two hours ride from Albany
1t appears that a man of the name Of Adams,
formerly of Cohoes, died about seventeen
months apo-lesvlng wiz 4, uaQ,rn Mo
loss. Iue widow removed TO the w est and
remained there until short time since,
when she returned. Upon her return
she found he deceased husbands brother
dying with consumption, and declared that
he could be cured only in the following
manner, which she said was practiced
where she had been living. The body OF
her husband should be taken up, the heart
dissected, and if any blood was found in the
heart. it should be burned and the sick man
would recover! This mons.rous proposition
was acted upon-the dead body disinterred
"a physician (?) called, who took out the
heart and lungs, but not enough blood
being found to answer the purpose-the
body having lain too long-the further
prosecution Of the infamous project was
abandoned. We should like to have the
name of that physician. Will some friend
at Glenns Falls please forward it.-Alban,

A SINGULAR MALADy.-A disease is preva-
lent among the horse kind intithis section
this spring, which resembles nothing We
ever before heard of or saw laid down in
the farrier book. 1t is called by our citizens
the "stiff" The manner in which it effects
the animal is as follows:
The bones of the animals legs appear to
become diseased and rotten, so that they
break upon the slightest occasion. And
what is more singular, while this process is
going on, no symptoms of it can be discoy.

The Illinois State convention on Wednes-
day.

There was a split in the Illinois
Democratic State Convention, which
met on Wednesday at Springfield, as
We anticipated.
The State was fully represented in
both wings of the convention and
both strongly approved Of, and rcsolv-
ed to stand by the Cincinnati platform.
The Buchanan convention was organ
lied by the appointment of Hon. ohm
Dougherty as President with five Vice
Presidents.
A number of speeches we're made
and the resolutions passed in relation
to Kansas, are identical with those pas
sed by the Cook county Convention,
sustaining the administration fully in
its course upon the Lecompton ques-
ton.
By resolution adopted, the nomina-
tons for State Officers were postponed
until the eighth of June next, to be
then made by the State committee at
Springfield. The committee consists
Of nine persons, chosen, one, from each
district. The convention then ad-
journcd and met in mass meeting the
same evening when speeches were
made and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed.
The Douglas convention organized
by the appointment Of Hon. John
Moore President with Vice Presidents
The course of Mr.. Douglas was ap-
proved bv resolution of the conven-
ton.
The nominations made were as fol-
lows:
For State Treasurer, W. B. FONDA,
For Supt. Of Public Instruction, Elk
Gov. FRENCH.
Unless some compromise is effected
between the two conventions before
final adjournment the result cannot
but be q most disastrous defeat in their
coming election.
We trust that something of the kind
will be done.

The Daily State Reporter, a paper
calling itself Democratic, published at

of Monday, advocates a disorganizatiou

principle Of Popular Sovereignty but
to forsake all the other time honored
doctrines of Observation-Disclosures
which have stood the test of time :
doctrines consecrated by the names Of
Jefferson and Observation-Disclosures hal.
lowed by the memories Of the fathers
Of the party.
All these are to be abandoned-if
the Reporter should have its way-and
the party to 60 seeking after strange
Gods.
But what are we to gain by this ex-
changel What are we to receive for
