A Boundary Dispute.

The question of the boundary between
New York and Connecticut is again urged
upon the attention of the New York Legisla-
ture. The disputed district, consisting Of a
strip of land which runs north and south for
a distance of about fifty miles, and which at
it's widest part is forty-two rods wide, con
,ains about twen,y-six hundred acres: Most
of this district is mountainous and Of no
great value but at one point portion of
Village of two or three hundred inhabitants
is included in the disputed territory. Resi-
dents near the border know not to what laws
they are subject, nor in which State they
should vote. while officers of justice and OF
revenue hesitate to exercise their authority.
Consequently the laws are not obeyed ana
the taxes are not collected.

THIS Manchester Guardian thinks Lord
BrOughom's mind and body seem to bid
equal defiance to the torpid advances of
great ages. lie is verging on eighty, and
yet his physical and mental vigor show no
symptoms of decay. The last three or
four years have brought about quite a
change in his Autumnal amuscments.-
Formerly he left England soon after parlia-
ment broke up, for France, when we first
heard of his appearing at the Institute of
Paris, under the mgis of Arago, and then
hobnobbing with the occupant of the
ruilerics, whether Louis Philippe or Louis
N"polconi and, finally, he was announced
rs departing for country seat he had at
Cannes, in the South of France" He was
there when Rachel died, and it is known
lie was very attentive and kind to her in
her fatal illness. Since then he seems to
have renounced France and the French,
md to have dedicated his learned leisure
20 the edi6c"tion of provincial audiences,
which yield him splendid return ofjour-
nalistic rcnown.

at which the followingresolution was pas
sed, among others:
ResoEred, That in Gen. Simon Cameron
VIC recognize the man who, by his long
and untiring devotion to Pennsylvania
interests and the best interests ofthe coun-
try, can carry Pennsylvania triumphantly

for nomination as the Republican candidate

and that our delegates to the State Con-
yention are hereby instructed to vote for
such measures in that body as will best
tend to secure his nomination by the Ma
tional Convention.

ing:
On Sabbath last, Benjamin Franklin,
y(whitc) and Lewis Lane, (colored) whoare
prisoners in our Jail were detected by the
jailcr, James Greer, in an attempt to effect
their escape. By some means they had
been furnished with an auger and other
tools. They had commenced operation in
one of the upper cells and had succeeded in
boring one row of holes through the ceiling
when they were discovered. They were
politely informed by the jniler that they
need not trouble themselves in the least
ms he had no idea of loosing their company
until after Court.

OUR exchanges furnish us with the cor
respondence which took place between the
sheriff of Cameron county, Texas, and the
commandante of Mntamoras, and between
thelrtterannth the Governor of Tamaulipas at
thebeginning of the troubles at Brownsville
at the solicitation of the sheriff, the com
mandante promptly sent troops to his aid
and the Governor fully sanctioned the step.
These troops have since taken part in nm
action against Cortinas upon our soil, and
some of them have been killed.
We have been told that we ought to
seize upon some of these Mexican States,
because they are in such frightful state
of disorder that the strong hand of our
authority is needed to preserve the inter
ests of society, and here we see Mexican
soldiers coming over into Texas to do in
kindness what our authorities had failed to
do-put down lawless company of scouu-
drels who were raYaging one of our towns.
According to the reasoning of our greedy
friends, Texas ought to be annexed to Mex
leo because we arc not able to take care of
it. We hope the generous conduct of our
Mexican noighbors will not be forgotten
by our government. It deserves hearty
recognition. But it does not particularly
diminish the feeling of humiliation with
which we remember that bandit could so
long carry on his work of insolcnce and
destruction, unchecked either by Texas or
by United States troops. We hope that
before we talk much more about taking
care of Mexico, we shall see to it that we
do not have to appeal to her to help take
care of us.

TaE Postmaster General appears to have
made sincere and vigorous attempt to
arrest the abuses of the Thanking privilege.
The practice ofvicarious franking has been
forbidden, and although we think that the
law is not so definite rs might be ON that
point, and that it wonld have looked better
if the Postmaster General had administer
ed first to his own friends the rebukc for
an abuse that had long been permitted TO
both parties, still we arc glad that so great
an evil has been stopped. The ranking
privilege was never intended to cover par
tisan documents; and although, even under
the strictcst ruling that the department
can make, this abuse will still be practiced
yet considerable part of it has been ar
rested by the decision that the frank shall
be written by the man whose name is
employed.
The Postmaster General has written
.etter upon the abuse of giving away
franks, 1t seems that officials in Wash
ington, not entitled to the fraking privf-
lege, have been in tie habit of sending
whole packages of envelopes to be ranked
and of distributing them among their
friends; aud it has been regarded as dis
courtesy to refuse the favor. All this
shows, moro and more, that there is but
one way of reaching the evil, and that is
by striking at the root of it, by abolishing
altogether tue privilege that is susceptible
of 50 great direct abuses, and of the indf-
rect abuse, greater than all of them to-
gether, the cost of printing enormous edi-
tons Of very worthless books.

a CORRESPONDENT of Troy paper says {:
"In Frankfort-on-the-Main and in Munich
are dead houses to which bodies are sent
previous to burial, where they arc kept for
some two or three days, for the purpose of
Nscertaining whether life has become cx-
tinct or not. On the fingers of the corpses
are placed thimblcs which are attached to
cord communicating with bell. The
slightest movement of finger rings the
bell, and thus, in case of suspended ami
nation, efforts are made to restore the
body, instead of burying it alive, as, no
doubt, often happens in this conntry.n
