Horrible Death.

Mr.John IIockaday, of W~arrensburg,
a harness maker, early OF Sunday morn
ing, July a, went into his bedroom where
his wife lay, and in a hurried aud en-
barrassed manner, with his hand placed
upon his throat, ~endeavored to tell his
wife something with incoherent exclama=
tions, and in a moment hastily turned
round two or three times and quickly
passed into an adjoining o His
wife seeing he was in distress, immedi
ately sprang from the bed and followed
him, jnst in time to see him lie down
on the floor, and aftor one or two faint
efforts at breathing, die.
As too often with sudden deaths, his
death was attributed to disease of the
heart, but a post mortem examination
revealed the fact that the deceased had
choked to death. A piece of partially
chewed beef, of the size of half a large
hens egg, was found in the ~windpipe,
which the deceased had been chewing,
and probably upon some sudden start,
had been drawn through the larynx into
the windpipe, from whence its size pre-
vented its being elected by any means
in the sufferers control.-Glen Falls

The President and the Ohio Dem
ocratic State Convention.

The doings of the recent Democratic
State Convention, SO acceptable, as a
whole, to the party of which it was the
accredited organ, are a matter of evident
annoyance and disappointment to the
newspapers and politicians OF the Re-
publican party. 1t is apparent to the
most casual observer that I'll, se disin-
,erested patriots never harbored the
thought that Democrats, who in the
madness of the moment, made %extrava-
gant investments in the Douglas and
anti Lecompton movement ID few months
ago, could ever again act in harmony
with a convention that should express
it's full and unbounded confidence in
the integrity. patriotism, ability and
wisdom of a President who but recently
was charged as attempting to force a
constitution Cd the necks of an unwil-
ling people. This disappointment, how
ever, is only the beginning of what the
Republicans may as we'll become recon-
ciled to at once. It will be wise in
them to abandon the remotest hope that
the bad example of Douglas in Illinois
will be followed by his former friends
in Ohio. Although that bold and rest
less leader may persevere in hurting
from every stump in Illanois, his indig-
nant denunciations at the English bill.
here in Ohio, the Democratic voters
without reference to former ~variances OF
opinion, stand prepared to receive and
acquiesce in the passage of that bill as a
measure of peace. The action of the re-
cent Ohio convention was, therefore, not
in advance of the public mind, for it
seems now to be conceded on all hands,
that after the unfortunate twist into
which the Lecompton matter had been
involved by a few of our friends, the a.
doption of the English measure was the
wisest step that could be taken AS a
matter of course, all honest Democrats
who, in the phrenzy of their zeal, were
induced to allege or suspect that the
President was seeking to force a consti-
tuition down the threats of the people of
Kansas,-or to violate the Cincinnati
platform,-or to trample Democratic
principles in the dust, all such we say
are doubtless sincerely sorry that they
ever permitted thoughts so utterly un-
founded and unjust to enter their mind.
The Republican papers may, therefore,
safely take to themselves this assurance,
that the harmonious action of the State
Convention, and the unanimous with
drawal of all doubts and imputations
that had been uttered as regards the in
tegrity, ability, purity aud wisdom of
the President, is but a fair ref .ction Of
the feeling which pcrvades the entire
body of the Democracy of Onio.-Neao-

A Romance.

A paragraph is going the rounds Of
the papers relating how a man, named
Frazer, was recently arrested near Bal
timore, and committed to the Jail, near
Morristown, N. j., from whence he had
escaped when under confinement for
counterfeiting. The story is touched
with a little romano concerning a sister
of his, who is said to have struggled
hard for a livelihood in her younger days,
but who is now a great lady at the Court
of France-all of which is true.
This Frazer was once a resident of our
county. He came here with Lucien Mu-
rat-son of the illu trious Murat, and
the beautiful Pauline Bonaparte-neph-
ew of the old cousin of the present Empe-
ror. Lucien, assisted by this Frazer and
a French chap, whose name we cannot re
call, undertook to build '.city" on In
dian River, between Evans Mills and
Theresa. This was some twenty three
years ago. This trio were q precious
set. Horse racing and cock fighting
we're more industriously attended to
than legitimate business; still a grist
mill, a few shops and a store were put
up, but in the end, went Down under the
sherif's hammer. Thus began and end
ed the great city of Joachim" The
old mill is still standing as a monument
Of Lucien Murat's failures in this coun-
try. The wright who built the mill still
holds an expressive memento of Lucien
in the form of a "promise to pay" given
for eighteen hundred dollars worth of
labor performed.
After our Adventures left the coun-
ty, Frazer went to New York and got
rich-Murat went to Bordentown, New
Jersey, married Frazer's sister, remain
ed poor. His wife actually supported
him by teaching school. Meantime her
brother continued to wax fat ard fast.
He became noted as a gentlman of welth,
l%easure and pleasure, without giving a
thought, it is said, to his relatives, who
were then un err the frowns of fortune
TIE throw of the dice box of destiny
which gave France into the hands of
Louis Napoleon, also gave peace and
glory to Louis Murat aid his very
worthy and hard working wife. He is
now one of the high dignitarics Of the
Empire, and she 8 one of the frst ladies'
of the court. Thus, while the sister &C.
cupies the Elysee Bourbon, at Paris, the
brother is awaiting his sentence to serve
in a New Jersey State Priso:. So the
''play" goes on.

ZcmbIa joins the TOrrid



Some ten or eleven years ago, when the sue
cess of the Magnetic Telegraph was establish
ed by Prof. Morse, on the line between Balti-
more and Washington, the event was cele-
in the latter city, on which occasion B
FRENcH, Esq read a poem, from which a
friend sends US a few extracts. The prophecy
is almost fulfilled, and earlier, probably, than
the writer anticipated:
There Is one change in this, our living age,

One which, through all the years to come shall
stand
To crown the science of our glorious land. =

Old time is conquered distance is o'erthrown,
And Nova Zembla joins the Torrid Zone.

LAST OF THEIR RAcE.-The steam
slips Prince Albert, Arago, and Nova
Scotia, that are now scverAliy due at
this port and Quebec, may be regarded
80 far as regards the carrying of news
between the two coutinents-as the last
of their race. Their day is don. No
more SHALL we look with Intense anxiety
for the a. rival of the European steamer
bringing the latest news, and that may
have such tidings to communicate as the
fall of Sebastopol, the storming of Del
hi, a crash on the Paris Bourse or the
London exchange, orr the invasion of
Great Britain by the modern Gauls.-
The latest news that they will have had
from one continent will have been cover
ed up ia the dust of time when they
reach the shores of the other.
1t is within the recollection of those
who still are young how anxiously the
fast smiling packet between Now York
and Liverpool used to be watch d for,
and what excitement their arrival used
to create in this city. Their captains
used to be congratulated and feted for
the quick passage they made, and they
played a most important part in the
history of those days. But this era
passed away, and was succeeded by the
era of fast steamships aud the young
est of US know what a reputation the
Pacific and the Atlantic and the Baltic,
and the Vanderbilt and the. Persia bave
gained for their quick passages, and how
their gallant captains have gained un,
stinted honor aud praise for tae porfor-
mances of their fue ships.
Now the era of fast steamships has in
its turn given away to the telegraphic
era. The latest event in London or
Liverpool can be known in New York
owing to the difference in time-four
hours before the steamcr leaves her
moorings in the Merscy. Much, there
fore, of the interest that attended quick
passages across the ocean is d~issipated
suddenly, as with the stroke of an en-
chanter's wand and henceforth their
coming and going will awaken no more
interest han the sailing of a clipper
schooner to Baltimore or the arrival of
a Dutch built brig from Rotterdam, ex-
cept to those having friends or freight
on board. Thus quickly shifts the
scenes in the worlds drama. And now
with wondrous rapidity are presented
hour by hour the great spectacles of the
age to an assembly that comprises all
the civilized nations of the earth. The
Atlantic telegraph is the last of the
wonders.-N. Y. Herald.

How AMI WHrRE TIE ATLANTIC Ca
BILE IDEA ORIGINATED.-IS was in New
York city that the Ocean Telegraph had
its origin. Here the first Company was
formed. The great scheme was planned
in the dining room of Cyrus W. Field,
81 Gramercy park, one evening in the
early part of March, 1854, when. Cyrus
w. Field, his brother David Dudley
Field, Samuel +. b. Morse, Peter Coop
er, Moses Taylor, Marshall o. Roberts
aud Chandler White were present.
Maps were laid upon the table, and con-
v~crsation eisued upon the praeticability
of the enterprise aud the best route, and
there were formed an association for the
purpose Of establishing telegrapAic COM
muuication between America aud Eu-
rope, from which resulted The present sue
cess we have been chronicling for many
DAYS now.
The two Fields an Mr.. White went
to Newfoundland to ask for a charter
aud assistance. They arrived at S..
Johns iu March, 1874, and called upon
the Governor. who convoked the Execu,
tive Council the same day. The Gov
ernor gave a favorable answer in an hour
or two, and Immediately sent a special
message to the Legislature, then in sess-
ion, recommending them to pass an act
of Incorporation, with a guaranty of tie
Interest on the compauy's bonds to the
amount of G5OO,O 600, and a grant of
fifty square miles of land on the island
of Newfoundland, to be selected by the
company. These terms sore agreed
upon, and out of the agreement has re
suited that splendid success which has
astonishcd the would.

GOSHEN, Orange County, N. Y, Aug.
l4-Last night about half-past niue
o'clock our village was alarmed by the
murder had been committed at the house
of Charles Reeve, in Hamtonburg, about
2 miles from here on the Newburg road.
Some twenty Of our citizens immedi-
ately repaired to the scene where they
learned the following particulars:
Mr.. Reeve and his family were absent
from home leaving their house in charge
of three servants named VIM. Saunders,
Peter Shorech and Margaret Vrealy.-
1t seems that Peter and Margaret were
to be married next week and they had
been passing the evening together IN
the room of the latter. At about s
o'clock, just as he was leaving Margaret's
room, Peter was met at the door by
William who deliberately and Without
a word passing between either shot him
directly through the right nipple.-Pe-
ter turning back opened the door through
which he had just passed, and fell dead
across the threshold. The murderer
then rushing into the room over the
dead body of the first victim, shot Mar
garet through the left breast the ball
passing out behind and just below the
shoulder blade. She turned and jump
ing out of the open window to the ground
some twenty feet or more, managed to
crawl through the garden and orchard,
nearly a quarter of a mile, to the house
of MI. Case, who immediately gave the
al arm.

A St. Petersburg letter, of July 5,
says: "Fresh and narrowing details have
just been published of the casualties suf-
fered by the Russian army during the
war in the Crimea. 1t appears that, in
the affair of the Tchernaia alone, on
August l6, 1855, there were 5,o4s
wounded, among whom were GAG officers,
and Z generals. At Fort Nicholas,
where the first hospital for the wounded
was organized, as many as 200 amputa-
tions we're performed on a siugal day,
and one surgeon had often 500 patients
to attend to. Most of the men who
evacuated the Simpheropol hospital died
on the march ~homewards. These reve-
~lations, proving how defective the Rus
sian military administration is, have
made a great sensation in St. Peters

SINGULAR AND FArAL ACCIDENT.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT
While two sons of Chauncy Donaldson,
Is and 20 years of age, were hunting
ducks in the marsh in West Swanton,
VT, they rowed their canoe near a flock
and agreed that one should fire at the
ducks while on the water and the other
while on the wing. To do this, the
younger brother was to lower his head,
and the elder to fire over it but the
elder fired as the younger brother was
raising his head and some of the shot
passed through his neck and the uu-
fortunate inquired ''who was to blame,n
and died. A physician could find no
shot nor any traces of them in his head,
but attributed his immediate death to
conclusion of the brain, occasioned- by
his nearness- to the. muzzle of the gun,

method of killing rats. His own house
