The Two DEsPIRATr BURGLARs.-Chas. Murphy,
the daring burglar who was 80 fdghtfully injured on
Saturday night by leaping from ve-etory building
to the roof Of another, and rolling from, there TO tho
ground 10 lying at the Hospital comfortably -
could be expected. His right thigh sustained COM
pound fracture, his left leg was broken below tho
knee and his face and head were seriously bruised
While d. Hull was dressing bis wounds and seriously
contemplating the smputation Of the right leg, tho
wounded burglar coolly asked him if she thought he
"would be lame" The man at present is quite COM
Portable but is thought that when both the wounds
begin TO suppurate the tax his system will be 40
great as TO gradually wear him out.
1t will be recollected that Murphys confederate was
Pole, who surrendered quietly and was taken 70 u"
station house. where he gave the name OF Louis Der
nowski. 1t is now thought that he is the man i's
whom the detective officers have been looking Tor sew

rived in this country few months ago from Poland,
he having spent five years here before On his arrival
he proceeded to PHILADELPHIA where he engaged TO
work for an architect named Samuel Sloan. While IN
Mr.. Sloan's employ he passed under the name of By

forged his employers name to drafts amounting to up
ward of $780, on which he raised the money. Com
ing TO New York, he assumed the name OF Scrmovin-
ski and took board at private house in Murray

we found the "London Stone" which Jack

the music they furnished, has always been
considered one of the fine sights of Lon
don. This year, in consequence of the
attentions going on in the church, the
gathering was held at the Crystal Palace,
and doubt whether more beautiful
sight had been seen there than this. The
orchestra was completely filed

We satisfied ourselves in handling the
tools ofthe tinker, and the massive buckles
he had once worn on his shoes; saw his
various portraits, including one, IL rare one,
and a copy of John Bunyau in his thinkers
dress and in what was called Mr.. Ofor's
workshop, Il small room adjoining, the
whole series of Bunyan's works, and every
edition. We understand Mr.. Otfor is now
ut work bringing them out four volumes.
In the library we were shown Iymd"lEs
New Testament Illustrations, the original
most beautifully done at the age of Is,
and now SO perfect in color itseems to
have been lust done. We saw there the
oil portrait of Tyndall. also, Coverdnle's
Bibles and other old Bibles, once chained
| in the churches and kept from the people
bv the prelntes of old. Four immense old
volumes in heavy leather bindings having
rests of metal of Grcgort"n Cha"ts, the
oldest music cxtant, formerly kept in a
chest in n monastery on the ContIneht,
were opened and VIC saw the quaint old
musical characters and the Latin words
used in those far-oR ages. One small
book. "The Hours - splendidly bound
in crimson and silver velvet mountings
in vellum, with illuminated letter-press-"
right royal book, was put into our hands.
That Onnint, beautiful book-could be-

Queen of Navarro by King Henry VIII, at

bonnd book in Illuminated letter-press, the
work of the nuns, and for which Lord -
had offered 800 guineas in vainl But
time fails me TO enumerate tithe of the
rarest and costlicst antiques here collected.
Mr. Offor has himself, patiently and quietly
gathered these treasures from far and near,
in this and foreign lands, and often made,
with his own hands, a perfect fac -simtle OF
some rare work he could not otherwise
obtain, risinga at four O'clock in the morn

to these antiquarian pursuits: In his
drawihg-room is u small collection OF rare

What q gigantic museum in and of itself,
this old city is, couldnot help thinking, as
with n few friends, we went on invitation,
on Monday last, to visit the Bunyan relics
and antiquarian library of gentleman
residing in Hackney, East End. We had
not been aware of the existancc of any
such treasure, and set out in the early part
of the dny, with u Very vague ideW of what
we were going to see. We were n snug
party of four under the guidance of onr
friend MIR. Northrop, whose introduction to
Mr.. OfTor had procured for US the rare
pleasure of seeing his famous "Bunyan
relics, and ON exchanging our Brompton
'bus' at the Bank, for one that should take
us to Hackney, We passed through the
Royal Exchange, the house of the money
changers, by Lloyds of world wide re-
nOwn. Only few persons were travers-
ing the open court orsitting on the benches
against the inner walls-for it was not
then the "hour on CHANGE" So we passed
on and were after q little. while. saGalss, dc,
the old church of Hackney. To the old
mansion on the corner of Grove Street,
we directed our steps, and on being usher
ed in. found, to our great disappointment,
that Mr.. Offor was ut his bnsnes in the
CITY; however, after little parley with his
wife, she kindly offered to show .us some
thing if we would follow her into the Iii
brary. We noticed in passing many GU
rious pictures and objects scattered about
on the walls and tables, and to which we
could only glance. But the Li6Tary-Ohl

its appointments, three sides covered with
shelves crammed with musty looking books,
and having an old fashioned low windows
looking out into n yard of shruhbery and
flowers. The first thing our hostess did
west to lay before US n long fiat box, with
n cover of ancient bark carved in bas re-
lief In this box they kept the old jack
knife; the smaller pen-knite; the self-made
box of scales and weights-the old brass
weights having on them the heads Of the
rcigning sovercigns;-the tin pen case as
Bunyan left it filed with ink-stained
ouilis, which doubtless had served to pen
the immortal dream, and lastly tie old
family Bible on almost every page of which
were family references. One reads,

considerable vim under the circumstances.
These two blows, however, ended the
difficulty, as the crowd prevented any
further demonstrations, and you will see
by your Baltimore exchanges that Randall

ing desi.s that the fracas should end as
they had left 1T. Up to this morning no
one is able to give any clenr idea of what

Demonstrations.

From every quarter, we learn by our
exchanges, that the nomination of
Honest old Abe, was received with the
utmost enthusiasm, Guns were fired,
bonfres kindled, buildings illuminated,
and other joyful demonstrations were
had, which speaks more than volumes
for the grand victory which awaits US.
Never since the days Of 40 has the
nominations of any party given such
universal satisfaction.
In this village, when the nominations
became known, our Republican friends
were wild with delight. The old gun
was brought forth and got in readiness,
and in the evening the arrival of the
first train from Chicago since the re-
ceipt of the news, was hailed by the
firing of cannon, a huge bonfire, and
three rousing cheers for the man who
thirty years ago split rails on the banks
of the Sangamon River. en.2
In Kalamazoo, Marshal, Jackson,
Ann Arbor, Detroit, and in short in
every portion of the State like demon
STATIONS were had, and the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed. Lincoln's NOM
nation rings the doom of the Demo
cratic parties, and the Little Giant. He
will sweep the North like wildfire, and
eradicate every vestige of Democracy.
Trot out the Little Giant and give Old
Abe chance at him."

The Republican Platform.

We hope that every reader of the
Republican, and especially every Re-
publican, will give the Platform, which
we publish on our first page, a careful
perusal, and we think that every one
must agree with US, that never since
the United States has had name and
place among the nations of the earth,
has nobler political creed been put
forth. The principles enunciated by
it, will commend themselves to all true
American citizens. They are the prin-
ciples of the Republic, from its earliest
day-the principles upon which the
Republic has been reared and made
strong, and by the abandonment of
which. it would fall from its high es-
tate, and be unworthy of the worlds re-
spect or of freeman's pride and con-
fidence. o,5y lHae 4adI -9f
Every Republican in the land-eve-
ry lover of liberty-every true friend
of the country's political and material
prosperity, will hail this noble Platform
of Principles with delight, and regard
it as an augury of a better day to come
for the American Nation.
This Platform, with the true and faith
fal standard-bearer upon it, lnsures the
triumph of the Republican party in the
coming contest. 1t is a foundation of
granite and is sound in its every part.
It's planks are timbers of hickory-its
spirit, the heart-throbbing Of a free
people. f or a2f' 1Hf"f {1t.nl

The most destructive tornado ever
known passed over Southern Ohio, on
the afternoon of the 22d inst, doing
immense damage. The storm came

with fearful rapidity. 1t was accom-

torrents of rain. 49, .,

An Indication.

The Buffalo Commercial Adoerti-
ser, the home organ of Willard Fill
more, and always heretofore hostile to
the Republican organization, has raised
the names of Lincoln and Hamlin at its
editorial head. The .Aduertiser repre-
sents class of politicians that have a
keen scent for success, and its acces-
sion to the Republican cause is in that
respect significant. The Bell and
