steam Fire Engine.

The Indianapolis Atlas, states that Mr..
LArrAs' Steam Fire Engine.is on exhibition
at the Fair, being held in that city, and that
after showing off there, the machine viii be
taken to Evansville, which city "wil most
likely purchase it"
That the engine will be brought here, is
fact, but that our Council will buy it, is not
so certain.
Let us consider the matter. A few weeks
since, Mr. Latta came here and agreed to
bring this engine to Evansville, provided we
would pay expenses both here and back to
Cincinnati, in case we should not conclude
to purchase, and TO pay expenses to Ev-
ansville if we should buy. The.price was
to be $500. 1t was understood that the
engine was to be here during our Fair,
which was an object, rs it woald be the first
exhibition Of the kind in the State, and an
attraction likely to draw many who would
not otherwise come. 1t seems that Mr.. Latta
has availed himself of this agreement, to ex-
hibit his engine at other Fairs; we, of course,
paying all expense of transportation, which
for one, ! consider r sharp operation. II
Mr.. l.. chooses to perambulate the country
with his exhibition at bis own expense
taking US in his route, there can be no OBJ
lection to it. And if we do not buy him
out when here, we might perhaps be willing
to pay his freight homo. More than this
we ought not to do, in view of the course he
has adopted
Then, again, as to buying. see it stated
that Philadelphia built Fire Engine, with
power and capacity equal to the one
coming here, and probably of a lighter anC
more easily managed weight yet of equa
strength and durability, was lately tried a
Washington City, with the most satisfactor.
results. AS the price Of these Philadelphia
made machines is only some 50, 200, agains
Mr.. Lattas price OF So, 500, it will doubtless
be well to enquire little into this differ
ence, before closing for the engine coming
here. FAIR PLAY.

SUIcrDE.-During the session of the recent
Democratic Convention, Charles Snyder,
clerk in the Treasurer's Office, and collector
of the delinquent taxes, was arrested for
forgery and perjury. He gave the required
bail for his appearance, and was set at lib
erty. On Wednesday afternoon he called
at drug store and purchased four-ounce
phial of laudanum. On returning home, he
conversed freely with his wife concerning
his troubles, who advised him to sell off his
property and pay the claims against him
Such course, he said, would disgrace him,
and the gloomy prospect before him caused
him to weep bitterly. About three o'clock
in the morning his wife was awakened by
his heavy breathing, and attempted to
awaken him from his stupor, but in vain.
A physician was sent for, who--on seeing
the phial that was found under the misera-
BILE mans pillow-sent for stomach pump,
and resorted to all the other remedies usual
in such cases. Every effort, however,
proved fruitless, and the suicide expired at
6t o'clock.
The Cincinnati Times, which furnishes
these facts, says that Mr. s. was formerly q
member of the City Council from the Eley.
enth Ward, City Commissioner, q Deputy
Sheriff, and at the time of his death, wa:
clerk in the Treasurer's office-collector Of
the delinquent taxes-his accounts have beer
examined and found TO be correct. The de.
ceased was also an elder in Lutheran
church, member OF the Odd Fellows, anC
the American Protestant Association.

FERNANDO Woop.-The Utica Herald fur
nishes pen portraits of some of the Demo-
cratic celebrities at the Syracuse Conven-
ton. OF Fernando Wood, it says:
Fernando Wood is the Mephistopheles of
politicians He is the mildest hammered
man" that ever packed caucus or got up
a row. He is what boarding misses would
call "a love of a man." His form is slen-
der, but faultlessly proportioned, his tread
elastic to airyness, and his carriage graceful
to the last degree His forehead is broad
without being massive, and his features
regular, set strongly marked. The general
expression Of his face is that of eternal pla-
cidity. He might set for the portrait of
"Oily Cannon" in Ten Thousand a
Year and were it Motor that pitiless eye
and those closely compressed lips, you might
mistake him for a moral reformer or Home
Missionary Society Agent. The face of
Louis Napoleon is not more sphynx-like in
its expression. Without the apparent dull
ness of the latter, it has all its inscrutability
We watched it narrowly during that terrible
row at Syracuse, and except that it was a
shade paler, you could not have known that
human passion had ever stirred it. He
has, in an eminent degree, the elements Of a
successful modern politician. He is cool, in
trepid, shrewd, Inscriptions; n man who,
if his charac ter were equal to his brains
would stand head and shoulders above his
Democratic rivals in the State.

cay" At dinner given the 9th ult, by
the municipality of Turin, to the Milan dep
utation, the toast in honor Of Count Cavour
was worded as follows: "To him who, be-
ing called to the Ministerial chair in Pied
mont, was the first after ls49 to adopt re-
ally Italian policy; to him who, sending
the (Italian) tricolor to Taurida, caused it to
spread its lustre before the eyes of Europe !;
to him who, at the Congress of Monarchs at
Paris, stepped forward the first to uphold
the Italian cause to him who, in the silence
of the Cabinet, prepared all for third war
of Liberty, concluding new alliance with
the Sovereign of France; to him who,
though he has resigned his powers flor a
time ouly it is to be hoped), lives forever in
the hearts of whomsoever loves Italian indie
pendence to Camille Cavour, immortal hon.
or and glory.

B6- The Albany Standard, a Democratic
paper, gives the following pleasant account
of the gathering at Syracuse to deliberate
upon the interests of the party:
IA scene, very much like that which
many of our citizens remember as being
witnessed just before the State Convention
of 1853, ,was looked upon by many specta-
tors at tire Central Railroad depot in this
city, not only yesterday, but this morning.
A large gang of New York city rufians
and desperadoes- sweeping and scum of
the hells brothels, cock-pits and thieving-
dens of the great city-ticketed through to
Syracuse, as body-guard to the Tammany
politicians, in whose pay they are,-arrived
by the boat from New York, and were care
fully re-shipped for the Central City, by the
early c. R. r. train. Such set of scoun-
drelly fellows we never set eyes on before,
and hope never to look upon again"

eSLafiyette must be overrun with GRIM

cnre the location of the new State Prison
at that point, and failing in that, the Cour-
Ter comes out strongly for a new Jail. 1t says
the cost OF watching the present crazy old
jug, has become a serious burden upon the
county, and that every consideration of
economy-to say nothing of humanity
demands the erection of new prison.

pa. The Goshen Times, an ultra Repub-
lican paper, has concluded that it will be
impossible for the Republicans to elect the
next Speaker Of the House of Representa-
tives. 1t says the Speaker must come from
among the anti-Lecompton Democrats, and
it is decidedly for John @. Davis of Indi-
ana. It adds: "He is bold, fearless, and en-
ergetie-has sufficient capacity for the po-
sition, and could be relied on in the last
emergency. No man is more detested or
feard by the Pro-slsyery Democracy, and nc
man in the State can deal them heavier
blows in the hour of battle. A Republican
should be elected if possible, but the next
hest thing would be to place in the Speak
er's chair John G. Davis of Indiana.

IL Clothing trade of the West was comparatively
of small amount, and confined almost exclu-
siyely to retail business in the larger towns and

almost Indispensable part of the stock OF every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city to
the cross-road stand. Like all changes In trade,
however, this las not been produced except for
the best of reasons. Among these are the great
saving Of material by cutting large quantity Of
garments together-the superior work and speed OF
sewing machines in manufacturing-the great
ing of time in waiting for your ''turn' at the Tai
lor's-the uncertainty Of even then getting salts
factory ''ft and above all the saving of at least
oae-hal the cost of the garment in the price. For
a number Of years this has only been part Of our
general Dry Goods business, but baye made
arrangements 10 devote our whole house exclu-
sively to it alone with such lines Of Notions and
Furnishing Goods viii be necessary and desirable

the trade will be to sustain in this enterprise.

BG- Mr.. Mccormick reaper and mower
has recently achieved a splendid triumph in
France. A grand trial Of reapersand now
ers took place before the Emperor near his
palace at st. Cloud, on the the 10th, Goth,
and 2lst of July last. Forty-eight machines
were entered for the trial, Of which only
twenty-eight appeared on the ground, and
finally the contest was narrowed down to a
trial between seventeen of the machines.
They were divided into two classes, those of
foreign and of French manufacture. To
each class three prizes were offered, and a
large gold medal was to given to the in
contestibly best machine of them all. This
prize of honor, together with one thousand
francs for the best foreign machine, was
handed to Mr.. Mckenzie, a very worthy
American, who ran the Mccormick reaper,
sent over from London by the manufac-
turers, Messrs. Burgess Key.

of his opponent, Judge Ranney. The crowd
then called on the latter gentleman, who ex-
cused himself, saying he would reserve HIM
self until the afternoon. He concluded by
saying that Senator Pugh would:be introduc-
ed, who would entertain them for while.
He then retired, and Gen. Lahm introduced
Mr.. Pugh, who commenced by saying that
abe had not come there for the purpose of
making speech, but he had come for the
express purpose of seeing Mr.. Ranney thrash
the Black Republican candidate"
This insolence was insupportable; and
