Great oyster Bed Discovered.

Last week, says the Tribune, a party of five
oystermen, while up Long Island Sound, acct
dentally discovered ali oyster bed off Eatons
Neck, Long Island, about opposite Norwalk,
Conn, which, upon examination, proved to be
at least three miles in length, by two in breadth
the bed being at least a foot thick, and compo-
sed of the largest East Rivers ever seen
in this market. The discoveries swore each
other to secrecy, and resolved to make their
fortunes but one of the party, going among
the oysterInen of City Island, basely betrayed
the secret for $500. The result has been that
over two hundred vessels have been at work
on the bank, fishing up the bivalves, and plant
ing them for market purposes. On Monday
last, a steam-tug went up, and in q few hours
landed over five hundred bushels at Rocky
Poiot, Long Island. which for quality and size,
are said to surpass anything that ever came
from Virginian waters.
The Norwalk Gazette of Sept. 9th, states
that the discovery has created intense excite
ment. On examination the oyster bed IS found
certainly to be one mile wide to about two
miles long. Other reports are three miles wide
and ten long! The bivalves are enormous in
size, and one vessel had taken up 200 bushels
in a single day. The bed is supposed to con-
tain many millions of bushels. worth, it is es-
timated, five millions of dollars. The bed is
in water from six to eight fathonls, and the
Gazette gives the following rather Jfshy des-
~cription of some of the bivalves fshed up -
:" We were shown samples of the oysters yes
terday as large as an ordinary garden spade,
the meats from which looked more like beef
tongues than the ordinary bivalve!"

Burning WE'LL

A few weeks since, in digging a well on the
farm of MIR. Peter White, in Cass township
about three miles aud a half southeast of the
village of Plymouth, after getting about thirty
feet in depth it became necessary to bore to
obtain water. In doing so, a vein of gas was
reached, and in taking out the auger, it rushed
out in a strong current. The two men in the
well were at once overpowered by it, and be-
came unconscious. After they had laid there
some time a man was at last found who would
go to their relief. and by having a rope fasten-
ed around his waist, he went down into the well
and succeeded in rescuing them, after one had
been in the well over two hours, and the other
three. Upon reaching fresh air, they were
soon restored to consciousness. The gas still
continues to rush out, Mr.. White threw down
some lighted shavings, when it at once ignited,
and ever since has burned steadily. The fame
is a couple of feet across, and is of exceeding
brilliancy and purity.-ManSfed Herald.

The TIurder of Rrcderick--Le& the
PeooIe Think.

There is cause to regret that there is ut
means of purging the u. 5. Senate at present
of one of the Representatives fron California
! Broderick-who, however useful he might BIZ
in some other calling, mistook his vocation as
sadly as did the Legislature which elected him
when he undertook the duties of StatesnaT
ship.-IN: Y. Journal Of Commerce.
Such was the language of the Journal Of
Commerce, on the day before the death ol
8roderick. Those of our readers who do not
| see the Journal of Commerce, may not under
| stand the significance of this paragraph. That
paper is the organ of what is called "%conscrv-
atisn." 1t is very decent, very moral, and
| very Union-loving. Of course it is very Dem
o~cratic, and very Pro-Slavery. 1t is the organ
of great bankers, like August Belmont-of
great politicians, like James Buchanan-of
great cotton planters, and great ship-owners.
In one word, it is the very quintessence of
sham Democracy. At the very time when the
murder of Broderick was contemplated, this
organ of law, order and sound morals, was
grooming inwardly, that 4" there is no meaaS Of
nurging the Senate of Broderick. 1t need
wall no ;r,aore the means were fonnd. The

the murderer. The deco % done. Do any Of
our readers think there is no connection be-
tween such a paragraph and such a result =
let them think, then, how great must have been
the bitterness with which Broderick was pur-
sued, when this staid and decent paper lets out
such a spiteful sentiment.
But why should it be important to get rid
of Broderick? There are worse men in the
Senate than he ever was. The impression was,
that Broderick was one Of the people, who had
won position by his ability and honesty
When Hammond, of South Carolina, iDsolent-
ly presented the contrast between the %aristoc-
racy, raised upon slave labor, and the mud sis
in other words, free laborers Of the Free
States, Broderick replied that he was one of
those mud sills, and civilIy, but plainly told
the vaporing Senator in what relation this la
boring class stood to the strength and prosper
ity of this country.
In the same manner, when one of the great
est frauds ever devised among an intelligent
people, was attempted to be carried ou,, in the
name of Democracy, Broderick denounced and
resisted it. He resisted Slavery and corrup-
ton, and had the ability TO resist them success
fully. This was the objectionable sin, and he
wos pursued to the death.
Let the people think, before it is too late,
whether the stability and morals of our coun-
try can long endure the corrupt Influences
which have been brought into the government
by the Sham Democracy-CiRc'nnGtl Gazette.

Changes in the House of H~epresenta-
tivess

The Hall Of the new House of Representa-
tives presents rather y singular spectacle in its
new arrangement Of seats for the members
The red-cushioned flagree-carved chairs and
desks which ornamented the floor last session.
costing, the chairs $50 and the desks $50
each9 have been spirited away, and their places
are to be supplied with rows Of benches, much
like in shape to the pews in Wesley Chapel
In place of desks, tables are TO be provided, in
the corner spaces each side of the Speakers
chair, whereupon members are expected to do
their writing. How the arrangement will
work, remains to be seen. A few of the pro-
posed benches have been made and placed in
the Hall for the inspection of Capt. Meigs,
who, it is said, does not particularly admire
them. Certainly they do not progresses one
very iavorably in point Of bezuty of form ;
but they are strong and durable-the ends and
centers being made of heavy cast iron, and the
remaining parts of woodland possess one ad-
vantage, as was remarked by a gentleman this
morning who was looking ut them If a fight
should by any possibility ever Oerar between
the members they will be deprived Of the lux
ury Of chairs to knock each other down with
mt two men being strong enough to lift the
lightest Of them.-WoShington Star.

Lowa.s AERIAL shin.

The merits Of Mr.. loves new aerial ship, in
which he intends TO cross the Atlantic, will be
tested in two or three weeks, at New York, at
which time he will ascend from Reservoir
Square. Every preeaution against accidents
will be taken.
While the balloon is driving along at the
rate of 100 miles an hour it is easy to see that
considerable difficulty would attend a debark-
alton. Apparatus has been devised which Mr..
l.. says, will so retard the balloon that it can
not progress at the rate of more than three or
four miles an hour. Should necessity require
the abandonment of the air ship, it could be
accomplished easily while going at this speed
Casualties by land have been equally provided
against, aud that he may not be carried BY his
accelerated velocity over the British Isles and
the Continent Of Europe into Asia, Mr.. l..
has provided himself with several anchosr.-
Two of them are comparatively light, weigh
ing about twenty pounds each. Another, ard
the sheet anchor of the trio, weighs sixty
pounds, aud is made Of spring steel. This
must stop the balloon when il reaches England,
OF take the Island along with it, Instruments
to determine the height of the air ship from the
water, and its velocity and direction, all Of
which will be available in the darkest night,
will be taken along.

Waking up the Wrong Passenger.

After Senator Hale, of New Hampshire.
had addressed a rousing Republican MEETING
at ST. Paul, Minnesota. a lot of Douglas Dem
ocrats who had listened to his speech, were de-
termined that the Hon. Tom Marshall, the
noted orator of Kentucky, who was at the
hotel in front of which Mr.. Hale spoke, should
reply. 1t is related that Mr.. Marshall serious
ly objected speaking, but was finally urged up
on the stand. Contrary to all expectation the
Kentuckian commenced a furious attack upon
Senator Douglas, comparing his repeal of the
Missouri Compromise to the incendiary who
destroyed the temple of Diana at Ephesns-
that the only way that i" little giants could
~perpetuate their names was by destroying the
work that big giants had performed. He
spoke favorably of the big giants who had
formed that compromise, who he lamented
were all dead-Adams was gone, and Calhoun,
and Clay and Wcbster-all gone-and he
wished The Almighty, when he took to HIM
self those great giants, had also seen fit, for the
good of this country, to have removed from
amongst us certain little giants" who al
ficted us. The assembled locofocos found it
difficult to decide where the laugh or the APP
plause came in.

A Cold Winter Predicted.

About ten days ago a tremendous drove OF
gray squirrels, numbering hundreds of thou
sands, suddenly made their appearance on the
Meramac, covering the trees and waters like a
pail. Thousands of them were afterwards
found dead in the river and on the ground
They crossed the Mississippi at that point, and
worked their way down the river, until on
Wednesday they reached Cape Garardeau,
crossing the river at that point in countless
myriads. The citizens turned out enmasse, and
killed them by hundreds. Every tree and
bush in that vicinity swarmed with them until
night, when they all disappeared, and have not
been heard of since. Their route was marked
as by a devastating storm. Trees were grid
led and fields destroyed. Old French settlers
predict a very severe winter, as it was noticed
in 1884 and 1852, that immense droves of
squirrels suddenly made their appearance, fol-
lowed by intensely severe weather.-St. Louis

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post writes
1T has been known here all summer that
Mr.. Douglas has not approved the course of
Mr.. Broderick in California. Mr.. Douglas is
after the Presidency and wants Cancellation,
not open rupture in the Democratic party
Broderick hated the slave Democracy, and
Douglas wished to be at peace with it. Upon
this point they separated, and had Mr.. Broder-
ick lived he could have never again joined
hands politically, with Mr., Douglas. He
would have soon drifted into the ranks of the
Republicans. His death is felt here by all per-
sons who oppose the administration to be a
great calamity, and many persons cling to the
belief that there was a deliberate intention on
the part of Gwin. Denver, Terry and others to
sacrifice him"

Struck by a Ra+tIesnake.

A week Or so since, a young child three OF
four years Of age, a daughter of DIR. j. Fl
Wayt, of Charlotte, N. G., while playing a.
bout the yard attached to Mrs. Jedd's resi-
dence, in Henry county, was struck in the foot
by a rattlesnake. Owing TO the presence OF
mind of a young lady, Miss G. Redd) the
child's life was saved. She set to work to
draw the poison from the wound by applying
her mouth to the bite and sucking out the vir-
us, which she persevered in until she was salts
fed that the poison had been eradicated. And
the child, with the exception of a swelling of
the foot aud leg, was well in a few days,

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN STATE!

AN 4&EE B41CA State!
Minnesota has just enrolled herself among
the Republican States. At the election which
came off on the 18th inst. the Republicans
swept everything before them, electing their
entire State ticket, both the Congressman, and
a large majority in both branches of the Leg
stature. This is a most important victory, as
it insures us Minnesota at the next Presiden-
tial election, and destroys the last hope of De
mocracy in the event of the election going in
to the House. 1t is also an equal extinguisher
of their hopes as regards the organization of
the House at the meeting of the next Con
gress. We gain, too, a U. s. Senator as the
Legislature just elected will choose a successor
to Gen. Shields. Huzzah for Minnesota !

Majority necessary to elect a President. 1874
The Free States have, when united, 80 votes
over what is necessary for an election. Which
of these States can the demoralizcd Democracy
reasonably hope to carry? Pennsylvania has
deserted their standard. The aggregate popu-
lar vote of Illinois, at the last election, indica-
ted the preponderance of Republican senti~
mPnt in that State. Indiana, California, aud
Oregon are the only States. then, TO which she
can look for support. They east, III the ae-
gregate, only 90 electoral rotes. This ADDED
to the 100 Of the South raises the number 10
l40-l4 short of an %clectitn n. But Indiana
may be saved TO the opposition. There are
fair prospects that such an end may be attain
sd. Oregon, t0n, is Of doubtful Democracy.
And what is moFc, eFen ihe South is not GER
tainiy a unit. Thc recent elections show that
some of the States arr ulm stall ably "sh XIV
50 much so that the Democracy cannot rely
upon them for sUccor.
No wonder. then, that the South. II at Slave
Democracy, is frightened. The party is split
into factions, each under the leadership of a
Presidential aspirant, who knows no compro-
mise. Upon whom are these demoralize1 fras.
ments ofthe party to unite? Can any Democrat
solve this problem? If any one can he is just
the man the Democracy are looking for. Thew
know not what TO do. 1t is darkness and
gloom on all sides. They feel very much as if
they were soon to be struck, but cannot deter
mine exactly from what direction the blow is
coming. Let them possess themselves in pa

probably. than they desire. 1t is cruel. with
out doubt, to strike a poor, dilapidated shell of

OF course Slavery a. peals to the Democra-
