REMARKABLE SuIcIDE.-A boy named John
Durk hanged himself in st. Louis ON Fridap, il
is supposed, because he was not allowed to
serve at mass. 1t appears that after the boys
had dressed in the room adjoining the chapel
tor tNc purpose of serving at mass, it was found
that hr would not be required. The Others re-
paired to the chapel and left him there
When they returned, to their horror they found
him hanging dead. He had, in the interim,
hanged himself by means of a rope fastened to
a stepladder.

Death by EydrOphObia nj Orange ID. y
The third victim of this terrible, and. it
might seem incurable, malady at Orange du-
ring the present season, died on Saturday
evening. In the third case a little girl had
been bitten in the EeeI. She was the daugh-
tr of Mr.. John Earle, who resides on thetOP
of the mountain, toward Mortified. The
child, only eight years old, was in the road
picking blackberries, when the dog attacked
her and bit her on the instep and heel, as she
was barefooted. Medical aid was called in,
and the wound thoroughly canterized, but not
until after the lapse of several hours. Mr..
Earle, not feeling satisfied with this treatment,
proceeded Immediately to BlOOmingdaie, in
this city, and paid $40 for a remedy prepared
by a certain Reeves, said to be an infalliblc
cure and preventative, which was given to the
child according to directions. She confined
in good health until Wednesday, Sept. Z,
when she was taken with a severe pain in the
thigh of the leg that had been bitten, and
sight spaSnls followed.
Most of the medical faculty of Orange and
the surrounding neighborhood were called in,
and a course of treatment with yapor baths
and strong alcoholic spirits was prescribed and
Flowed, but the fearful disease lad become too
deeply rooted in the system, and after intense
/ suffering, which wds undoubtedly relieved by
the treatment, the child died on Saturday the
10th inst, three days after the first symptoms,
which occurred Just four weeks after she was
bitten. In the three cases that resulted so ia
tally in Orange, there was no attempt made
by the sufferers to bite or injure those who at

was bitten about the same time, an elder
ly man, at South Orange, who has lone moth
ing as a preventative, and says he has no fear
of suffering from the disease his case may be
an exception to the general rule.

W. OF FRAUD,

Republican voters should, as far as possible,
use such tickets only as come from a reliable
source, and should especially guard against
spurious of fraudulent ballots. We do not
know that any such will be in circulation
but we do know that it has been in contempla-
ton to get them up. Nor do we know that
tricks or fraudulent devices of any kind will
be resorted to-but such things have been
done, and may be again, and nothing is lost
by caution and watchfulness. In another col
umn we give a communication from a reliable
gentleman in Radnor, confirming what had al
ready been ascertained from other quarters of
a proposed movement which may or may not
have been consummated. We omit the name of
the person who visited Radnor on that mission,
for the reason that we believe he has no real
sympathy with the bogus Democracy, should
act with the Republicans, and if he heeds the
honest pomptings of his heart, will yet recon
slider and vote our ticket. Another plan of
operations is to start reports that certain gen.
tlemen are candidates-in illustration of which
We are credibly informed that the report is
current in Thompson and other Western town
ships that Col. Dustin, of Berkshire, is a can
didate for Representative. This is not true,
as all who know Col. D. need not be informed;
and all similar reports, however OF wherever
started, and to whatever candidates they may
apply, may be safely branded as equally false.
All Republican voters have to do, to be IN the
true line Of duty. is to be sure to secure a Re
publican ticket and be doubly sure that it is safe
" deposited in the ballot boz. Let this be done
and no Republican need fear being imposed
upon by fraudulent ballots or otherwise.

The Canal Bridge at Albion broke DOWN
the afternoon of September 2sth, with shout
one thousand people and several horses and
wagons upon it. The accident occurred OF Is
minutes after five, and up to ten o clock eigh-
teen bodies had been taken out, and it waS
supposed as many more remained. A large
number were injured more or less severely
The County Fair was being held about half q
mile from the scene of the disaster, which cali
ed a great many people to the vicinity. In
the list of killed are Adelbert Wilcox, West
Kendall Mr.. Stillson, Mr.. Cornell, South
Barre Jane L. Avery, Lydia Harris, ThOs.
Cady, Albion Sarah Thomas, Augusta Mar
tin, Mr.. Henry, Rawson Murdoch, Carlton :
Ann Viele, Barre Thomas Handy Yates (;
Perry Cole, Benton Corners and Sophia
Pratt, Toledo, at Albion on q visit.
1t appears that the catastrophe was occa-
stoned by a gathering on the bridge to witness
the miserable feat of rope walking. The Roch-
ester Democrat says:
From Mr.. Alonzo Grant, Of the city, who
came down from Albion on the 8:3J train, we
get some particulars that may be of interest,"
A Young man from Brockport had caused o
rope to be stretched from the roof. of the Man
sion House, on the north side of the canal to
building on the south side, and announced that
he would walk across on it. The rope was
about two rods west of Main street bridge an
iron structure like most Of the canal bridges,
which of course offered an eligible stand point
from which to view the performance. 1t, was
accordingly crowded with people and teams
The rope walker had got part way across the
canal, when the bridge broke in two at the cen
tire, precipitating all who were upon it into the
middle of the canal. Men, women, children,
horses and wagons, were all piled in an indis-
criminate mass. The West half of the bridge
went down first, and of course many Of those
who stood near the break, were pitched OF in
such a way, that when the east half of the
bridge came down, which it lid Immediately, it
fell upon and covered them up. Mr.. Grant in
forms us that a pair of horses and a carriage
full Of people we're crushed in this way so COM
pletely that nothing had been found Of them
when he left-two hours after the accident
He thinks that the Dumber killed must be
greater than reported by telegraph. Accord
ing to his account the name of DR.. Randall,
one of the most prominent citizens OF Albion,
should appear in the list of killed, but we hope
it will prove that he was misinformed. What
became of the rope walker nobody appeared to
know. He was not seen to cross the canal or
to return to the side from which he started. 30
far as Mr.. Grant could learn. He may have
been startled by the crash so that he fell OF
his rope into the canal and swan ashore.

HE The New Haven Palladium of Thursday has an editorial under the caption of A Judicial Out rage," in which Judge Seymour of the Superior Court is charged with Haerant conduct, worthy of Kane or a Jctfreys, in his imprisonment of Miss Antionette Turner, who was summoned to answer writ of habeas corpus issued for the discovery of q child of one Managhan, which was last seen in her possession Miss T. refused, several weeks sncc to answer question put by the attorney for the father as to whom she sent the child. and the Court hay ing decided that the question proper one which she must answer, committed her for contempt as he manifestly had right to do. The Palladium ale ges theSmpiasonment to have been illegal unjust aud tyrannical,' and says the Judge was actuated by prejudice and partisan and personal bias. From what we can learn of the case, we must think our friend Baboock has been Jed into an unjust and li- beous attack, for which, after more careful invcs- tgation of the facs he will make the anede honor able. It is not always safe to take the opinion of an excited attorney in relation to case in controversy as the basis of editorial comments on judicial pro- ceedings. @
 P.S. We learn that Miss Turner was at liberty before the publication of the attack in the Paladi 0m, having been released by the Judge on Thurs day morning.

1W-The Legislature will convene at Hartford on Wednesday next.

With these editorial aids, the sion will doubtless be short one. The Courant. we notice. is to have the printing g-provided the Le gislature do not abolish the office of State Printer which we prefer. If however, the appointment is to be ade the Courant is fairly entitled to it for its efficiency and steadfast adherence to genuine Re publicanism, in the late election, and its faithful repudiation of Ezra Clarkism. The Courant has an occasional hit at radical rcpubcanism which is not in exactly good taste or consistent with its ed itorials on the slavery issue. but we have doubt of it's unqualified advocacy of a radical Republican of the sraightest sect for the Presidency in 1860 though it may have doubts of the only safe course for the Republicans to pursue in selecting their can didatc.
 By the way, the Courant comes to us in new and beautiful dress, evincing continued prosperity It has ever been of the very best conducted papers in the country.
