INvENToR.--We regret to learn, by telegraphic |
despatch received by the family, that Mr.. Obed |
Hussey, OF this city, well known as the inventor of
tie reaping machine, met his death on Saturday.
He fell from railroad train at Exeter, whilst on
his way from Boston to Portland, Maine, and was |
instantly killed. Mr.. Hussey was on a business
visit to the East at the time, and accompanied
by his wife and child. Hussey's reaper was the
pioneer of all the harvesting machines that have |
been brought into of late years. The makers of
every pattern have been paying its inventor GER
tain sum on each machine made for the use of the
"guard" of the cutting knives, the most
important part of the machine
TIE ELEcrroNs.-It is believed that the cleo |
ton in North Carolina has resulted in the re.
election of ohm W. Ellis, Democrat, for Governor,
by about 5000 majority, reduction of S,235 on his
majority in 1858. In twenty counties the Oppose
ton gain five members of the Legislature. Besides
Arkansas and Missouri, Kentucky voted Yesterday. |
The election was for Clerk of the Court of APP |
peals; the candidates being General Leslie Coombs, |
Opposition, Clinton McCIarty, Democrat, |
and h. II. Boiling, irregular Democratic nomi- |
nee. BY the latest kilograms received last night
there were strong indications that Coombs would |
be elected-he leading the other candidate
some 5000 votes. The Democrats carried
Kentucky last year by 5000 majority.
THE PAYMENT BANK CHECKs.-The Boston pa
pers state that within year, some ten or twelve |
thousand dollars have been drawn from the banks |

of tho late supnnsqfn1 ha Saf
ty Fund and Exchange Banks, by which some thir-
ty-sx hundred dollars obtained the Boston
banks have concluded to adopt stringent resolu-
ton in regard to the payment of checks. Upon the
recommendation of the Clearing House, all the |
banks have instructed their tellers in no case to
pay check unless it shall be presented by some |
one known to the teller other officer of the bank
or the production of satisfactory evidence by the |
bearer of his right to draw the same.
