A bill has passed both branches Of the Legisla.
ture granting State aid TO the extent Of $500 900 TO
the proposed Albany and Binghamton Railroad.
This is most unfavorabls time for granting such
ad; Jet we are glad this help has been extended to
most needed and meritorous enterprise. This
embryo Railroad trayerses section of our State,
including Schoharie and Otsego Counties, which
has thus far contributed to enrich other sections,
but has itself been secluded and relatively damaged
by our Public Works. Thousands of its inhabt-
ants never ye. saw q train Of cars. We hope they
msy see them ere long, and without having to leave
home for the purpose.

The Assembly bill amending, or rather defining
the Charter of this city, eported to the Senate
last night. The Committee had altered it by strik-
ing out all regarding the Ams-House Governors
and the Sanitary Department-the latter being
embraced in special bill now before the Assem-
bly,. The other changes from the bill as passed by
the Assembly are, permitting the Common Council
by twothirds vote to alter bureaus and clerk
ships; giving them forty days to confirm or reject
bids for contracts; making the Mayor and Control
Ter the power to appoint Corporation Counsel,
Croton Board and Chamberlain; the Mayor alone
to appoint the other heads Of departments. We
do not exactly understand whether the obnoxious
extension of Busteed's term is retained. The
Democrats. led by Fernando Wood, were fllibus-
teriug in every possible way against the Charter
when our dispatches closed.

W. F. c., correspondent of the Nevada
Journal gives the following account of sad
occurrence:
On Thursday morning, Sept. 23-d, the
body of Robert Fl. Mock, formerly of Bur-
: lington, Iowa, and late resident of Orleans
Flat, Nevada county, Cal, was found in the
Truckee river, Utah Territory, three and II
half miles below the lower emigran; cross
ing, by Messrs Humes, Moore and Cum
mings, and from the appearance of the body
there is no doubt he was thrown from his
horse and drowned while attempting to tord
the river short distance above where the
channel was much deeper than usual, al
though it did not appear so from either
shore. Mr.. NJ left Orleans Flat on the End
of August, and in company with Charles Ii.
Humes and w. +. Cummings had established
small trading post at the lower crossing of
the Truckee, where they were trading in
groceries, &C., with the emigrants, and pur-
chasing stock. He had always herded the
cattle on a range some distance below the
camp, and on the morning of the 18th ult.
went down with them usual. At noon
he had not returned, but as he had frequently
remained at the range all day, his partners
were in no way uneasy. Night came and
still he was not to be seen or heard from,
and they, in company with others, started in
search of him, confident that something was
not right. AT the range they found all the
stock, except one of the cattle and The horse

ing. These were found early the next morn
ing the horse, saddled and bridled, was
feeding some distance below the range and
from his appearance had not been unsaddled
since the previous morning but no trace of
the missing man could be found, and although
the country was secured in every direction,
| for several days, it was not until the morn
| ing of the 23d that he was found, as before
stated, in the river. A close examination
of the body revealed no cuts, wounds or
marks of violence, and it was the opinion of
all present that he was accidentally drown

The atydraulie 2ress.

Mr. Editor,-I saw a communication in
your last number from Gen. Allen, wherein
he speaks ofmeeting two typos, vending their
way up the ridge determined to take large
contract on Weaver's ditch, if they could
get it. The Gen. was little premature in
this, as his information at the time did not
warrant so broad an assertion, but his en-
thusiasm is perhaps excusable, on account
of his exceeding anxiety to have the ditch
completed, that the bottom of his tail tiume
may be made to glitter with the precious
metal. But the insult offered to my horse
cannot forgive, and am inclined to think
he (the Gen. of course) must have had an
attack of the blind staggers that rendered him
little obliyious, and he could not tell a
horse from mule. But the horse himself
felt quite indignant at him and retaliated in
this WISE The Gen. borrowed the horse to
pack his dunnage from his cabin to the road,
in going to which quite steep hill had to
be raised. When the hill was reached the
horse became sulky and refused to go an
other step. The Gen. at first tried the vir-
tue of kind words, and coaxed and plead
with him to GO, but without effect. and at
last his patience failing, he picked up a
stick and beleaguered him until he was out
of breath, but still it was no go, the more
he was whipped the more he wouldn't go,
and the Gen. was compelled to take out his
dunnage and pack it on his own back up the
hill, aud then returned for the horse and
wagon, which moved up as though nothing
had happened. The Gen. consoled himself
with the remark, that the stubborn brute,
if he was horse, had the principles of a
mules father in him anyhow.
