fg The New-York Republican st.te Convention held at Syracuse last week. nominated Edward D Morgan for Governor, Robert Campbell for Lieuten- ant Governor, Hiram Gardner for Canal Commis- soner and Josiah K Everest for State Prison Inspec tor. MT. Morgan has long been prominent mer- chant in NewYork city, and is, we believe, native of Hartford Robert Campbell of lawyer at Bath. whom we have long known as radical democrat and very influential politician.
 The American Conyention, which was in ,session at Syracuse at the same time, nominated Lorenzo Burrows for Governor, Nathaniel S. Benton for It. Governor, James R. Thon pson for Canal Commis. sioner, and William A. Russell for State Prison h. spector.
 It was hoped, though hardly expected, that the two Conventions would have agreed on a Union Ticket, as ninetenhs of the antiAdministration e. lectors of New York desired but personal conside. rations prevented. We think the Republican ticket will nevertheless be elected; and hope the union which could not be effected on the State Ticket may be consummated in the Congressional nominations.

OUTRAGEOUS SwINDLE A NEW HAVEN GIRL.- The New York Times says that Henrietta Clinton a Scotch girl about 20 years od arrived in that city by the New Haven cars on her way to California; where she was goIng to live with some relations After leaving the cars, she inquired of two we'll dressed men the way to the California tcket-ofce, stating that she wished to buy ticket by the Mo- ses Taylor. The men ascertained that she had S111 and one of them said he would sell her ticket for sl10, which was $2O less than the present price, owing to an increase in the prices. While one de- tsined her in conversation, the ether went to get his ticket, which he represented as being in his boarding house near by He soon returned, and gave her pretended ticket, when she paid the s110, and they left. The girl says the money was the savings of three years work in New Haven. She made known the robbery at the Police Head- quarters, and Sergeant Lefferts dispatched some of fcers to look after the swindlers

MAIL CARRIER DROWNED AND TEAM LOST
"A rumor was prevalent ON Saturday, that
the mail sleigh which was to have arrived on
Friday, had sunk in the river (what rivera
on its way up, and was lost. We could trace
it to no reliable source, and concluded that
it was hoax.
P. S. Since the above was in type, we
learn from the driver Of the stage which ar
rived last night, that the rumor is really
true. The driver of the stage which preceded
him, was drowned, together with two horses
while attempting to cross the White Water
or Minnesota River, this side of Winona,-
no mail was lost, however.
That stream was swollen, and the ice
weakened by freshets. The driver of last
nights stage was compelled to wade over
waist deep, and the mail, was carried over by
two persons in a skift, at cost of $50. Two
tons of paper mail remained behind.

An Irish Legislator.

laughable incident occurred in the House
this morning, during the election of Chief
CLERK. The election is made by vioa uoct
vote, the clerk pro tenn. calling the roll and
each member answering the name of 1.-THE
person OF his choice as he is called When
the clerk reached Mr.. Hanrehan, of Milwau-
kee, gentleman of Milesian extraction, that
Scion responded "Here -
"Mr. Hanrehan," repeated the clerk.
Here again answered that gentleman.
The clerk then completed calling the roll,
when Col. Steever, of Milwaukee, arose and
asked that the name of his colleague might
be called again. COL S. had been in the
meantime illuminating the mind of his fellow
towsman and representative.
Clerk lin loud voice )-"Mr. Hanrehan.' -
MIR. Hanrehan Cooking very red)-"Here. y
Great laughter on the foor and in the gal
leries.
Speaker Lovell-"The gentleman will des-
lgnate the person he wishes elected Chief
CLERK, as his name is called. Mr.. Clerk. call
MIR. Hanrehan again"
Clerk-"Mr. Hanrehan
Mr.. Hanrehan, (much embarrassed. hut
smiling and redder than ever, )-"Lere."
The response was received with roars Of
laughter.
Mr.. Hanrehan is an uncompromisinr Dem.
ocrat, and will make his mark in the Assem-.
bly.-Madison Journal.
The Madison Journal, we are afraid is
disposed to sheer at the qualifications of the
son of the SCREEN isle" to frame laws for the
people. The Journal should reflect that the
Irish become miraculously qualified for office
by special patent from the Democratic par
ty and their own modesty.

terrible catastrophe at hastings.

Terrible Catastrophe at Hast1ngs.
We learn by gentleman from Hastings
that on Tuesday, the I'd inst. q terrible ACCT
dent occurred there, involving the loss Of
four lives. The rope ferry at that place had
been in operation nearly all winter, but was
interrupted for week or two recently by
the increased severity of the weather. The
thaw and rain, however, of the few days
back, induced the ferrymen to cut out the
ice in the way of the passage of their boat
across the river. This made a narrow chan
mel with ice on either hand. Between three
and four o'clock in the afternoon of the day
mentioned, the ferryman proceeded to take
over three passengers IN skiff; these were
Mr.. MCDONALD and his wife, who had house
and farm on the opposite bluff, and gentle
man from Prescott, name unknown. When
midway in the river, the wind forced the
skiff down against the edge of t be ice on the
lower side, when it is supposed the suction
OF the current suddenly capsi:sed the boat,
and before any of them could jamp upon the
ice to save themselves, the passengers, fer
ryman, boat and all, were drawn down, and
disappeared under the ice-to appear no
more. The ferryman's wife stood on the
bank and saw the sad accident which hurried
her husband from before her eyes to eternity.
Mr. and Mrs MCDONALD were old settlers
and leave large family of helpless children
behind them.

THE COOLEST DAY OF THE SEAsoN-Jack
Frost was about on Tuesday night. The
thermometer commenced sinking early in the
afternoon, and at dark il was "bitter cold."-
Almost no one was on the streets after that
hour, and all seemed to find superior attrac-
tons around warm stove, or in comfort
able parlor. The sidewalks cracked every
moment like pistols, and all night long, as
the mercury settled slowly down in the tube,
repeated expressions from steps, doors, porch
es, &C., we're heard in every house, caused by
the contracting power of the frost after such
a damp warm spell. Yesterday morning
the mercury marked II below zero.
During yesterday, however, it was quite
pleasant and the sun shone brightly.

An Unparalleled Honor.

A mark Of respect was shown yesterday
to the memory of General Havelock, which
was worth more than peerage. The flags
of the shipping in our harbor, and our pub.
lie buildings, were displayed at half-mast du-
ring the day, as token of grief for his loss.
1t was purely voluntary tribute paid to his
memory by a people to whom he was stran-
ger. who we're in no way interested in his Ca
reer, and to whom even his name was un-
known six months since. 1t was a tribute
of respect which even the Duke of Yelling
ton did not command, and which we believe
was never before paid to foreigner. But
some touch of nature makes the whole world
kind, and the bravery and manliness of this
true hero have touched the hearts of the peo-
pie Of this country, who have watched his
career with eager solicitude since the stirring
events of the East Indian revolt have render
ed his name as familiar here as it is in his
own country, and the intelligence of his
death has produced as deep a feeling Of re-
gret as though he had been a countryman Of
our OWN Y. Times.
