LEcruREs.-Geo B.. Kellogg, Esq, delivered a
Lecture on Tuesday evening upon the Distinctions
and Fashions of New England Society. He stated
and illustrated the proposition that more attention
is paid and encouragement shown to young men
engaged in the professions and mercantile pur-
suits, by those who pretend TO constitute "our best
society,"" than is awarded to even more meri,ori-
Gus and worthy men engaged in mechanical and
industrial pursuits. The purse and dress are the
keys which unlock the doors and open wide the
gates of fashion. The operation Of this rule has
led brainless young men to enter upon a profess
ional life which they have neither the mind to adorn
nor skill to make profitable. The imperieus de-
mands of fashion and her inexorable edicts were
commented upon with much vigor and business.
Too large a portion of the world when deciding up
on a course Of action do not stop to inquire what is
right or listen to the claims Of duty. They simply
ask "What will Mrs. Grundy say ;"
REV. EPHRAIa MUTE of Lawrence, Kansas Ter
ritory, delivered a Lecture in this village on We'd
nesday evening, upon the Past, Present and Fu-
ture of Kansas. He detailed his experience acquir-
ed during a three years residence in that distracted
Territory. He confirmed in the fallest manner the
reports of the outrages of border rufianism which
have from time to time been laid before our read
ers.

REMARKABLE CASE OF SUIcIDE.-A laboring
man residing in the lower part of the city,
has for several years past been the happy
possessor of a dog, whose attachment to his
master has only been equaled by his bravery
fidelity and sagaeity. Long association had
made the two inseparable, and wherever the
master went there also was the faithful Tray.
following meekly in the footsteps of his illus
trious predecessor. Some time since. the
master unfortunately was thrown out of en-
ployment, and Tray began to miss the choice
bits with which he was wont to appease his
appetite; his friends seemed to desert him.
and he grew SO melancholy dog over it that
even his old crony, the butcher, began to re-
gard him unfavorably, as a sort of canine
vagabond. Matters progressed thus f, some
time, until poor Tray, instead of being petted
as formerly, became the recipient of more
kicks than bones and kind words, except from
his master, were "like angels visits" to him
Ills altered condition seemed to prey uron
his spirits until he finally concluded to termi-
nate his useless and unhappy existence. Ac.
eordlngly, on Saturday last he accompanied
his master to Folsom street wharf to witness
the departure of the Oregon steamer. In n
most unhappy frame Of mind, he crept after
his master, his tail between his legs, appar-
emily feeling that he had become useless
incumbrance upon him instead of the iollv
companion ofprosperous days. The boat off,
they returned slowly up the wharf, Tray oc-
casionally glancing oninously at the water
over the string-pece, until they arrived at
the western end where workmen were enga.
ged in filling in with sand. Here, with a
farewell look at his beloved master, the erea
ture walked deliberately down the bank and
put his nose under the water. His master
called, and he responded by wagging his tail
more and more family until his object was
accomplished. He turned over on his side
and the poor dog was dead? This is no fancy
sketch, but a case of apparently premeditated
suicide, that can be vouched for by a number

Thar COMMITTEE Express of yester-
day, announced that "the reg,dG Democratic
County Committee were requested to meet at
the office of S. c. Tompkins, on Monday eve
ming next" and, (for fear we presume, that
the regular Democratic Committee might re-
spondD. added that the names Of the Commit
tee would be seen at the head of its editorial
columns, which names were John 5. Love
James c. Wilson, 5. c. Tompkins, John Rule,
Jasper Rand, Wm IL. Graham, and a. Cross
1t was, on the part of the Express a very
necessary precaution; for everybody would
have naturally supposed that what was meant
by the irregular committed was the commit
tee appointed, of course, by the regular De
mocratic County Convention. Instead of that,
the Express meant the pretentious and self
inflated Bogus Committee, appointed by what
was VIGOROUSLY boiling bogus convention,
and found it necessary to state what it did
mean As the painter, who had delineated
n horrible caricature with four legs on his
canvas, thought it necessary to write under
1t, This Isl horse" so the Express deemed
it expedient to say, "this is the regular De
mocratic County Committee"
Now, what is the use of any such humbug-
geryP Why not say, at once that this is the
Lecompton County Committee, and that it
has no claim whatever to any sort of regu-
larity or authority, since it is notorious that
the regular organization of the Democratic
Party in this county is a separate and distinct
thing, and recognizes the legitimacy of no
such committee2 Why cali it the "reg'dar
Democratic County Committee" when every
body knows that it is not the regular com
mittee, by any manner of means
That Committee speaks for the Boilers, and
whatever it does, it does it for the Boilers
Is it call convention none but Boilers can
respond to it. If it pass any resolutions, they
bind nobody but open and notorious Boilers,
because no Democrat who respects party
rules and regulations, or the binding authori-
ty of legitimate and regular conventions, can
pay any sort of respect to the proceedings Of
such a committee In Boiling was it coneeiv-
ed and in Bolting brought forth. Bolter is
stamped upon its every lineament, as Bolter
will it be everywhere recognized as Boter
will it die, and "Bolter" will be inscribed in
its epitaph.

The WALKER RIVER MINEs.-A correspon-

from Murphy's says that pack train passed
through the latter place on ID November

able to return by that route. They reported
that there are seventy men at work upon the

average of 81 900 in dust, the result of si'
months work over and above all expenses

DENIES It's. Oaks denies that he gave
Old Simon (the aged negro who died short
time ago in Nevada) Croton oil in his liquor,
which. as was charged, was the cause of his
death. He handed the Nevada Democrat
the following letter for publication
Mr. EDIToR:-An item appeared in tbo
Nevada Democrat of Nov. 3D. in which the
reputation of the undersigned sustains an in.
jury relative to the death of Simon Wilson n
negro over 100 years of age: as to riving
him croton oil in liquor, which is said to be
the cause of his death, this | strenuouslv

candor Whoever he may be that commu.
nicated the news to the Democrat, | pro-
nounce him liar and dastardly coward
and unqualified to live in the society of the

The Nevada Democrat, in commenting
on the denial, says;
In addition to the above, Mr.. Oaks informs
us that he never saw a particle of croton oil
IN his life, and has no idea what il looks like.
A number of persons who saw Simon during
MS last sickness were of the opinion that he
had been poisoned, and Dr. r. M. Hunt, who
was called to see him as a physician, informs
US that he had drank something which took
the SKIN OIL his mouth, and that croton oil
would nave similar effect. The report that
the drug was given him by Mr.. Oaks was
quite current in this place, but we cannot
trace II 10 any responsible source.

and two at dark. The first was occasioned
by the burning of some paper, near pile Of

The third was caused by burning brush
