Gg The re nomination of the present State Officers by the Convention at New Haven last week, was in conformity with the nearly unanimous wish of the electors throughout the State who are opposed to the Buchanan dem ocracy. Aside from the fact that Gov. Buckingham and the other gentlemen on the ticket have we'll discharged their duties, and are consequently deserving the appreciation which re- nomination implies it is bad policy to change these officers too frequently. The acticn of the Conven- tion last year in dropping Gov. Holley and his ciates, was deemed by the people generally in this section of the State unwise and unjust and we gratifed that the friends of Gov. have magnani- mousy and cheerfuly united in this re nomination of Gov Buckingham, and will give him, as they did last year, hearty support.

The amendment of Mr. Foster, providing that the road shall be constructed of American mate. rals, it is believed, will secure support for the measure in the Senate, where it had not been

It is argued that the large demand for American iron which the railroad construction will create under the op- eratlon of this amendment, will operate as a protection to the entire iron interest of the country and that this consideration will se- cure to the amended bill the States of Penn syvania, New Jersey and Missouri, and seve- ral other States heretofore looked upon as doubtful"

Ages not stated

It is remarkable fact that of the 40 persons who have died in this town the last year were between the ages of 60 and TO- and between 70 and 80, and of that number were farmers a fact that speaks we'll both for the heathfuness of agricultural pur- suits and the sobriety of farmers.
 Number of causes of deaths are 9, being less than 2 deaths to each disease. and yet z have died of consumption, and only of any other one cause, showing too plainly how many more die of consump- tion than any other disease.

 A resolution was offered appo inting Prof s. W. Johnson as Chemist to the Society, at salary to be fixed by the Executive Committee not to exceed $40O.
 Prof. Johnson said he should be glad to serve the Society and accept the appointment, but he could not afford to devote as much time as he had done in the past two years he had ex- pended $500 in the labor other than his own.
