LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

CouRrEovs.-The Empire Boys of Lynn, whose
visit to Brattleboro last autumn has not been for
gotten, sent box of fine fresh fish to the two en-
ginc companies in this village rs token Of their
remembrance Of the pleasant hours spent in their
company here The Hydropaths passed their por
ton of the gift over to Perry of the Brattleboro
House, who served up delicious chowder therefrom
on Wednesday evening. As the company was gath
cred around the table discussing the merits of the
fish they forgot not the donors. Toast after toast
in honor of the Lynn boys was drank with all the
honors while the heartincss of the cheering attest
ed how fully they reciprocatcd the kind feelings
that prompted the gift. The presence of the do
nors alone was wanting to complete the festival and
crown it with enduring remembrances.

ga DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE. Under this caption
the argus makes mention Of the dedication Of a
democratic hall at Bellows Falls. Among the Of
fcers we find the names of "Br's" James Keen
man and Patrick Diggins and among the names
of those who responded to the resolutions the Ar
gus mentions Atkins and the said Diggins. The
Argus says the cheers "were anything but pleas
ant TO the ears Of the wolles'' From such gath
ering we presume that they were not very pleasant
to any but those who made the noise. This is not
the first time 1.-THE night has been made hdeous"
by extra human noises.

AccIDENT.-A little son Of Osborn Baker, aged
10 years, while attempting to catch fish in Whet-
stone Brook in Frosts meadow, on Wednesday,
fell into the stream. lie was seen to fall and the
alarm was Immediately given, which led to his res
cue, although when taken from the water he was
apparently lfeless By great exertons he was
suscitated and is now doing well. A delay of not
more than few minutes would have deprived af-
fec,ionate parents of lovely child.

4 Santa Fee correspondent of the \.
7. Herald gives graphic account of the
hardships attending the journey of Cap
tain Marcy from Fort Bridgcr, the head
quarters of tha army Of Utah across the
mountains, to New Mexico. The party
numbering forty three Ill tod, left the
Fort on the 18th of November, and reach
cd Santa Fee about the 10Th of January.
The route thoy passed over had never be-
fore been traversed in mid winter. In
the mountains they encountered snow
storms Of great severity-storms such as
the intrepid Fremont wss compelled to
turn his back upon In one stretch of
two hundred and fifty miles the party
waded through snow from two TO Eve feet
In depth. For eleven days they subsisted
on mule and horse meat, without bread,
or 50 much as a pinch of salt. 1t is a
marvel that, notwithstanding these hard
ships, but one of the men died on the
route, though many Of them were badly
frost bitten. The animals of the expcdi-
ton suffered severly. Forty out Of sixty
of them died out Of cold and starvation.
Capt. Marcy was sent to New Mexico to
purchase animals for the army, and was
to return to Fort Bridgcr as soon as his
arrangements were completed, escorted
by force competent to protect him from
the atteks oi the Mormon guerrillas.

Of all animate or inanimate things-all
intelligent or dumb creatures, who have a
holy, soul-freezing, blood-conseallns hair
standing horror of Bank, our neighbor OF
the Bugle reaches the climax. His very soul
is fed and bloated with the awful doings of
the Banks, and the men who conduct them
his brain is a storehouse of the memories
Of their destructive acts; his dramatic mag
nation conjures up scenes of such tragic
interest that "speculator" might well
shrink and cover before them, whilst his
disordered fancy, clothes every banker in
the robes of highwayman. Banks and
bankers, Seats" wild and tame, make his
waking moments terrible, soul-shaking,
patriot-bleeding reality-his sleeping mo-
ments horrid dream. Around the flesh of
his body the "Varmints" gather as to
stately banquet, and drink his blood out of
his skull. Our ncighbor endures all of
this out of mere love for the "dear people,"
who know no better than to believe that
Banks of issue in this State are a commercial
necessity. The warning words, "beware,"
are ever on his lips, and the accommodating
horrors of his soul, engendered by the Banks,
find ven: in the wild and passionate edito-
rails of the Buqle. Vive Ia fanfaronade!

Yesterday 6 the Masons were 1I1rching
down street. with music playing, Danns1s
flying, and gorgeous array, spansof oxsn
attached to = lumber wagon, who were not
initiated into the secrets 81 the order and
therefore could not understand Whist all The
fuss was about, took the ida into their
heads that it was an evil design on their
personal safety, and incontinently took to
their heels With horns down, tails erect, and
eyes rolling like a poet in fine frenzy
ssClear the track" was the word as they
numbered and dashed BY in zigzag style
amongst the dense crowd, and such scat
terment you never did zee as was made by
that now famous pair Of oxen in their on
ward course. Main street was not wide
enough for them, nor did they regard even
the rights of the Masons. With q loud snort
of defiance they charged their ranks, broke
them, and made pitch at a grocery store
opposite the Globe building, but the valiant
occupants made Q grand charge at them with
uplifted brooms and repulsed them. They
then turned tails and breaking through
again, with stern aspect charged one of the
Marshals ridinga noble horse who was com
ing up with dignity and noble bearing. There
was no resource for him but to turn tail
and fly, which he didin considerable of a
hurry. Horns were freely offered to all the
crowd free of expense, but every body
seemed to be afraid that they might get high
ON them, and preferred running to the rear,
and contented themselves with looking on the
cooked tails behind. Altogether it was a
rich scene, and although there seemed to be
imminent danger Of some one being run
over in the dense crowd, yet the sense Of
that gave way to the ludicrous, and shouts
of laughter resounded as they pitched on
ward. The oxen were finally brought up all
safe. We have to state that the oxen wear
the horns in triumph, as they beat everything
on the track-Dubuque Express.

The company who own the Great Levia-
than, are as much in quandary as the man
who drew the elephant at il rattle. For a
long time, while it clung to the stocks, the
question was, what to do with it; and the
one of immediate interest just now is, where
is the money to come from to finish up the
immense skeleton of the marine monster?-
The sum required for the purpose is said to
be ST, 100000, which is to be raised by the
issue of II 900 annuities to subscribers of
500 each. The chance of obtaining sub
scriptions to this amount, would not be very
promising if shrewd capitalists alone were
relied on; but it is thought that those who
have already become proprietors may ven-
ture more, in the hope of eventually max
ing the enterprise payable one. The cal
culatlon is, that by seven voyages year,
she may realize net profit of S6OS, $50 per
annum. 1t is now arranged that she will
make her first voyage to Portland early in
the spring of 1859.

The Crops in Nebraska.

The finest crops Of oats, corn, wheat and
potatoes We have seen during the last four
weeks between Nebraska City and Detroit
are unqualiGedly in the vicinity of our City;
and they are doubtless only an average Of
the crops throughout Nebraska. Our crops
are comparatively free from any evil effects
of the heavy rains which have subjected the
crops in Illinois to an irreparable injury
While our soil is full as rich as that of Hi
nois and as well adapted to the growth Of
corn or wheat, it will always be free from
the lniuriuos effects of such heavy rains as
have been experienced throughout the coun-
try this season. Our land being rolling
prairie, the rains at once run off, and yet it
is capable of withstanding drought to a
remarkable degree, and is of marvellous
depth of fertility. Our farmers may well
be proud of their crops.-Nebraska City

We are sorry to be compelled to record
an accident that occurred on last Saturday,
the Sd, by which young and interesting
child of Mr.. & Mrs. Griffith, of this place,
has been deprived of life, and the hearts of
fond parents shrouded in mourning.
1t seems that Mrs. G. was Washing on that
day, and placed tub filed with hot water,
on chair. She then stepped out of the
house to get some cold water, leaving the
child, about eighteen months old, playing
on the floor. During her absence, which
was but n few moments, the child went to
the tub, and by some means upset it, throw
ing the whole contents over its body. Its
cries attracted the attention of the mother,
who fastened to ascertain the cause of it's
distress, and found it suffering the most ex-
eru,iatins pain, being scalded from head to
foot. The worst injuries were received
about the head and upper part of the body.
Medical aid was at once called in, and every
effort used to alleviate the pain, and save the
life of the little sufferer but in vain. 1t
fingered on in agony until Sunday evening,
when death kindly put an end to its suffer
ing by severing the vital chord that bound
its spirit to earth.-Forence Courier.

Elijah Sells.


We fully and unequivocally endorse the
sentiments of the Dubuque Times relative to
this gentleman, /. .. ale has ever been :
prudent, conscientious and faithful officer,
constantly at his post, d'schargins the null
tifarious duties Of his cfice, with SO much
impartiality, courtesy and attention to the
interests of the people, as to win the esteem
and appreciation of every one with whom he
came in contact. Hispopularityis evidence
ed by the fact, that there was scarcely any
opposition to his denomination, and that he
was nominated upon the first ballo: by a
large majority. His life during his long
public service, has been SO pure and upright
that our political opponents, bitter and IN
scrupulous as they are, have not found one
act Of his upon which to bring charge
against him. We are glad to enter upon
our State campaign with leader so firm in
the good wishes and esteem of the people,
as is ELIJAH SELLS"

The "NatioHalism"o of Democracy.

We have precious specimen below
The Montgomery Ala. Daily Mail, lead
ing organ of the Slave Democracy in that
region, speaking of the late outrages in the
Gulf, thus frees its mind:
"lt is hardly less than treason to the South
to court war with Old England. 1t is
seldom that her ships damage our section.
1t is the Yankee Navy, misnamed the United
States Navy, which captures our Southern
steamers and prevents our Southern pro-
gress. Let them search! and if they come
across Paulding, let them not only search
but sink. The South would be no loser il
not stripe waved over the Gulf"
There's patriotism for you! Sweep the
Southern Seas of every striped and spangled
banner, and they will rejoice!

"He Is Such a Funny Boy"

If he meets with no serious drawbacks in
the course Of a century, more or less, the
above term may possibly be applied to Capt.
WV. NJ. HILL, editor of the Harrison Coun-
ty Flag. fthe above soubriquet is not be-
slowed upon him, on or before the expira-
ton of the time mentioned, it will surely be
no fault of his-for he will have labored
hard enough to merit it. We adduce the
following as evidence of the d'sree of
excellence he has already arrived ut in the
"funny" business.
PERsoNAL.-Wm. Maynard, editor of the
Nonpdreil, and Mr.. Bowen, of the firm of
Mcbride Il Bowen, Council Bluffs, visited
our place few days since. They express
ed themselves highly pleased with our town
and county-it being the first time they were
this high up on the Missouri. We spent a
few very pleasant hours with these Potta-
wattamies. We understand that Maynard
palmed himself off on one of our worthy
citizens as Gen. Jim Lane, just from Kan
sas, which has created great excitement
in our county. We are interrogated every
day by persons, who wished to know if the
General had not been in Magnolia, what
Hotel he stopped at, where he was going
and when he would return. To prevent 9TH
ers from being deceived, we will describe
Maynard: He is nice looking man, (if a
fellow did not care what he said) is about
four and half feet long by one and a half
thick, wears long red hair and whiskers,
has mouth like unto frogs, IL foot like
