The election Of Matthias II. Nichols, re-
publican, in the 4th district Of this State,
Is at last certain. The 20 votes returned
for William Ellis in one OF the townships
Of Shelby county, were at FIRST supposed TO
honestly belong to William Allen, the dem
ocratic candidate, ard being counted on his
side gave him IA majority. 1t turns ont,
however, that William Ellis is bona fide
citizen Of that township, m anti-Lecomp-
ton democrat, aud that the votes Of his
neighbors were intended for him to execute
n threat which he had made to drfeat AL.
len, because Allen, in being questioned by
him in one Of his speeches about LecomP-
ton, openly and grossly insulted him aud
dared him to do his worst Ellis has had
his reyeuge, and Allen is defeated by l6
votes This change makes the delegation
stand l6 republicans to 5 democrats.

TRACT Soc1ETY.-Ths society seems to be
reapng the legitimate fruits Of its persistent in
fidelity TO duty. The society in asserting tacit-
", that slavery has no moral evils which it, as
great moral and religious organization labor
ing for the publication and conversion OF the
world, is bound to notice, finds that the sinews
Of lis operations are failing. Its executive com
nittee have recently Issued an appeal for sup
port, in which they set forth that the deficiency
of contributions in the first five months of the
eurnent year, as compared with that OF last year,
amounts to $4,000. A purely pro-slavery gos-
pei does not appear to commend itself to gene
raj liberality There is a serious foreboding
that in a merely dollar and cent point ef view,
this policy is not going to pay. 1t should not
be surprising irthe recreancy involved in the pos
ton of the society, should lOp Of much greater
proportion ofits recepts,a the northern church
es and ecclesiastical bodies are one after another,
making record of their repuguance to such
anti christian views, as have governed the action
Of the society.
The Presbyterian and Congregational con
vention of Wisconsin, at its recent sitting at Ii
Cross, recommended to the churches Of thai
state to withhold their contributions from the
society at New York, ard contribute TO the
Boston society.
This convention also passed vote respect
fully urging upon the American Board of Com
missioners for Foreign Missions to adopt 0
course similar to that of the American Home
Missionary Society, and refuse to s1stain mis-
sionares in laboring with churches where slave
ry still continues.

The THIRTIETH STREET TRAGEDY-C CoNDI.
rIoN OF THE WouNDED-BURIAL OF THE ST.
ICIDE.-The body Of the young man was
taken away from the house on Wednesday
night, and carried to the undertaker's in
Eigth avenue on Thursday October 2Sth.-
The body was placed in plain coffin, car
red to Greenwood Cemetery, and buried in
the family lot. The impression has been
made by some reports that have been cireu-
lated that Frank has been leading disso-
lutte life for several years, but such is not the
case. He was always an cratic and some
what singular boy, but in no way dissipated
till within the last six months. Since he left
the store in Platt street, he has fallen into
bad company, and has been ont very late at
nights. There is no evidence to show that
he was in the habit of drinking.
Mr.. GoULDY was still Llive last night, but
! there is scarcely any hoJe of his recovery.
His wounds were dressed yesterday, and APP
peared very WELL He has at times lucid
intervals, when he recognizes his friends
and seems to he conscious of his situation !;
he appears to be perfectly resigned, aud
talks of "going home to his Savor."-
These intervals are, however, very short /;
his mind sooa wan3ers, and he becomes un-
conscious.
Mrs. GoULDY is doing very well, aud, un-
less some new difficulties should arise, the
chances are that she will recover.
MATTE, the Oldest boy, is very low in
deed ; the physicians consider his case the
most hopeless of the four at the house.
His skull is very badly cut and broken ill.,
and it is almost impossible that he can re
cover. He talks a great deal, is very
cheerful, and bears oil his suffering mos
heroically While the surgeons were saw
ing out piece Of his skull, Matte neVel
hinched, but kept cheering aud encourag
ing his mother. who sat by in great distress
CHARLES case grows more serious in
stead of better, he appears dull and stupid
and almost unconscious. He has a very
severe cut in the side of his head, breaking
in the skull in such a way that the sur
geons cannot well examine it. Thougl
there is hope, there is scarcely any expeC
taton that he will recover.
JOHANNA MURPHY, who is at the Hospita
is alive, but probably will not live man
hours. She is much deranged all the while

GooD NEws.-A reduction in the prices OF
Sewing Machines is announced 10 our adyertis-
ing columns. The opinion has been expressed
that the prices of this invention have been too
high-so high as to place them beyond the
reach of mary whom they would most benefit.
Their utility is established beyond question,
and at the present prices we see no reason why
they shonld not be found, as they ought to be,
10 every household Several varieties are man
ufactured adapted to various purposes. So far
as public opinion hDs been formed and uttered,
the preference is emphatically accorded to the
Wheeler and Wilson machine for family use,
and for manufactures in the same range Of pur-
pose aud material. During the present autumn
the trials have been numerous, and all the pa.
tents Of any pretension have been brought fair
ly into competition. In every case, the Wheel
er and Wilson machine has won the highest
premium. We may instance the state fairs o
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ken
lucky, Illinois, Wisconsin and California, anC
the fairs Of the Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago
and st. Louis Institutes, already held. At tn,
fair Of the st. Louis Mechanical Assoeiatior
