A PORTRAIT or Mr.. BUCHANAN.

A writer of the New York Times, in making
up sketch Of the last Congress in its closing
hours, throws in the following exceedingly graph
ic sketch of the President, which will bear con-
veyance to our columns =
Everybody knows, in his own familiar bank,
some venerable old teller, connected with the
establishment from childhood, who, from the
constant habit Of Handling coin, has caught some
thing OF the quality of coin himself. His glance
is metallic and cold, his voice hard with ring
ing sound. lie looks, in fact, like the mind
made flesh. Although his teller's salary is only
81, 900 year, he is the stcrnest conservative of
property you will find. Natural callousness,
combined with the debt of routine, have woven
a sort of impcnctrable musty cobweb about his
heart, his greatest treat being the annual peru
sal Of the Report of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. The sound Of metal is the only music that
he knows. What such teller is to the fnan-
cial, Buchanan is to the political world Cold,
keen, cunning, he is an incarnate ballot box
His friendships are always measured by what
they are worth in votes.
Even his head looks as iii was always on the
look out for a shaky clector. He measures ev-
cry man by the proportion he holds to his plat
FORM He looks more like a corporation than
a man. and corporations We know have no souls.
He has neither love for music, for the drama,
or for art, which the hardest Northern Senators
delight in from cultivation and the toughest
Southerners from instinct. Even woman, di-
vinest of all human things, love of whom has
smoothed away the grossness from the vices Of
so many bad men, cannot soften his metallic
heart. His affections are calculated, and at a
reception he will pass by thousands Of the love-
Hest girls of his own land to fawn with mean
ftu ths. n,,f l..
strikes me as man with very large portion
of very little mind which is particularly active
To express it metaphorically, his intellectual
arsenal is crowded with very small sparrow
shot"

PoPIsH INToLERANcE.-A rebellion occurred
in the Eliot school, Boston, occasioned by the
refusal of some Irish children to join in reading
portion of scripture, as required by the school
regulations. Their refusal was based upon the
instructions of Roman Catholic priest named
Wight. The pupils who thus refused to comply
with the regulations were dismissed from school,
and from three to four hundred have then and
since left. On Wednesday about two hundred

LEATHER BELT1NG.-The Commercial Bullc-

will drive thirty-fve per cent more than flesh

rubber belts, one hundred and twenty-one per
cent more than gutta percha, and one hundred
and eighty-one per cent more than canvas

is to use it with grain side to drum or pulley,
and have the pulley covered with leather. The
next best pulley is said to be polished iron, es-
pecially for quick motions polished wood next,

PAINFUL BEREAvEMEHrs.-Two lads Of promise,
both Of them on tho confines Of that debaabe ground
which separates boyhood from manhood, died in this
village on Tuesday morning, and were both buried on
Wednesday, the two funerals being united in one.-
WILLIAM CABor SALISBURY, the eldest of the two,
and aged Ie WAS the second son Of Geo. H. Salisbury
of this village. A year ago he was bright, active
boy, and his quick step and prompt manner ms he de-
vered the newspapers every evening promised well
for his future The sudden manifestation Of a tumor
on one Of his legs which developed itself as an o'eo
sdrco'nd, rendered an nmpuaton of the limb neces-
sary as his only chance for life. The wound nearly
healed but the reeds of this fghtfu md usually fatal
disease remained in his system mud eventually caused
his death.
1t Is but few days since that Mt the close Of the
winter term Of our High School We noticed clear
eyed boy with nm ingenious appearance read with
marked excellence an article from "Dickcns' House
hald Words" His evident appreciation Of the subject
matter of his reading well as his clear and distinct
enuncation for one youthful prompted us to inquire
his name. We were informed that that boy was
TRowBRrDGE TYLER, the only son of the Rev. Geo,
Z. Tyler of this place. He sickened Of Inflammation
Of the bowels and lungs, and in few days he died
above at the age Of 10.
The early death Of such boys is a Bereavement that
Is by confined to the families Of which they
were respectively members although the ktenest point
OF grief may center there The neghborhood and
even the whole village share In the loss. Their SYM
pathy for the afflicted relatives partakes of the nature
