st. Lawrence County, y. w. as
everybody hcreabout knows, was the home
of Silas Wright, aud the strongest demo-
cratic county in the State, in his day.
The revolution which has taken place trcre
is indicated by the result Of the recent
town elections, at which the democrats
elected |at ont of fquv. Even this they
are thankful 0.r and the uat tDcmN
thus ndu'ses
We give "a far as we have heard the
result Of the election on Tuesday last. To
the Democrats the result is certainly most
cheering. Our Republican nciehbors
made their brags before election, that this
year, there would not be Democrat in
the board. But their negro-shrieking did
not 60 down; that election capital is about
played out. The republican papers try to
make excuses for this humiliatng result,
by saying that the voters were not all out;
but the fact is, they never will come out
again, in support of that party. They
have made tho same whining excuse. af.
ter every election since 1855 still their
vote has greatly diminished and the DEM
ocratic vote has steadily increased, and it
will continue to increaso until It shall
again stand foremost in the lisf Of Demo-
cratic counties,
SHOCKING AND PAINFUL AccrDEYT.-
Yesterday morning Martin Flanagan
lad Ii years old, who was employed about
the Planning Machine of Mr.. Barnes, in
the Pioneer Machine Shop, incautiously
got his hand within the reach Of the blades
that surround the planning cylinder, and
was drawn in till his arm, to the elbow,
was terribly cut and mangled. The blades
as we should Judge by the appearance Of
these shocking cuts are placed around the
cylinder in screw form, some two iuche.
or more apart, and the poor boys arm,
bone and ligament, was completely cut
thrOugh at these short intervals A more
shocking mutilation we never expect to
see.-The machine was stopped as soon
as possible, and the sufferer released only
by ungearing the machinery. He was
taken to his boarding house, where DR..
Carpenter was soon called, but the patient
was so completely exhausted by the loss
Of blood that it was not deemed advisable
to attempt the immediate arnputat;on Of
the arm.
Restoratives was administered, and
some four hours after the accident, the
amputation, about SIX inches from the ar.
ticulation Of the shoulder joint, was per-
formed by DR.. Carpenter, Of the Medical
Faculty, in presence o. a large number of
Medical Students, who are in town to at.
tend the Course Of Lectures in the Med.
ical College, which commence tomorrow.
The patient was under the mercilu in
fluence Of ether, and, it is almost needless
to add, the operation, wdich occupied the
experienced Surgeon not LANCER than half
a minute, was performed with scientific
accuracy and skill. Scarcely any blood
was lost in the amputation. The boy was
quite comfortable, last evening; il he sur
vived the previous waste Of blood, during
the night, his recovery may be regarded
as certain.-BuriiHgton Daily Times

ARREsT.-On THURSDAY last United
States Marshal Partridge brou n. TO this
village ono Albert NJ. Batchclder, whom
he had arrested the day before, at Chelsea,
on charge of breaking open and robbing
letters. l3atchellor was clerk of the Post
Office Of Orange, and from some cause
suspicious became excited that he tam.
pered with the mail matter that passed
through his hands. Accordingly decoy
package was made at Burlington, with
registered letter directed to Orange, Mass,
but the outside wrapper, directed to
Orange, Vt.-Tho P. NJ. at Washington,
which is the next Office to Orange, was
let into the secret, as was also tho mail
carrier, by which means the letter was
traced directly to the Orange Office. 1t
there remained over one mail, and when
it made lis appearance again had been
broken open and tho money distracted.
1t contained Sl0, all but 81, Of which
was counterfeit, and the money was traced
directly to Batchelder, who put it in cir
culution. When first arrested he stoutly
denied his guilt, but upon learning how
clearly the crime was fastened upon him
made clean breast of it. On Saturday
he was brought before United States
Commissioner Tyler, who ordered him to
find bail in the sum of $4,000, in default
of which he was committed to Chelsea
jail BeIlotes Falls Argus,
Among the unmarked graves in the
cemetry at Camden, Ark, is that of
brother Of the illustrious Henry Clay-his
only monument is an oak tree. with the
initials of his name rudely carved in its
rough bark, He is said to have been an
humble and devoted minister Of the Gospel.
"A New York letter says when our
juries try people for high crimes, they
manage to do it with becoming comfort to
themselves. A murder case affords the
highest scope. For example. the Board
of Supervisors have had presented them
bill for refreshments furnished the Jurors
in the last Cancemi trial, which amounted
to $3.50 Among the items are $50 for
cigars and S93 so for brandy" The qua
