without change Of rates.
There was . very active movement In the stock
market this morning, and the commission brokers
appeared TO be very busy with orders. New York
Central was freely taken for cash and on time !;
the price advanced per cent. 1t Is reported that
the Albany party, who are aware Of the exact con-
dition Of the business on the line, are heavy buy
ers. There was also large business done 10 ell
the Western shares, with general advance In
prices. The most buoyaut stocks Of the day were

County Commissioner.

Last year there was secret organization
set on foot in this County to defeat the tenn
perance candidate for County Commissioner,
and on the ground Of personal objections.
This year more open scheme has been
started for the same purpose, but having its
origin with the same men, and though under
different, yet we doubt not, an equally n.y.
pocritical pretence, which is that Mr.. Bell,
the temperance nominee, is not democrat
What it he is not democrat! Cannot a
man of some other political proclivities be
equally as good and as safe County Com
missioner, as democrat Indeed, we never
before heard this question raised ir the mat
ter of temperance, and the pretence is too
shallow to be seriously discussed. 1t is only
new phase of opposition to the temperance
cause, and We wish simply to advertise it
thus to the friends of temperance in Caledo-
MIA County, and ask them to bestir themselves
that it may meet, as it deserves, an ignoble
defeat. 1t is scheme to open the County
to free dispensation, by the manufacturers
of and dealers in, adulterated liquors. And
for this reason every friend Of good order,
of good health and sobriety, should use his
influence for the election of Mr. Bell.

Relic of Barbarism.

An examination has been going on before
the legislative committee on prisons in Mas
sachusetts, relative to charges against Mr.
Adams, of the East Cambridge House Of
Correction, for improper and cruel treatment
of prisoners. The testimony shows mos,
disgusting and shameful state of things
The building was most imperfecty warmed
and the prisoners were fed on the most dis
gushing food, and some of them half frozen
and nearly starved. The fish was often filled
with worms, and the beef smelt so badly
that some of the prisoners were made sick
by it. One witness testified that the food
was so disgusting that twenty-five or thirty
of the prisoners would refuse it, and some OF
them would pick fragments of brown bread
from the swill barrel, and gnaw the bones
which has once contained undecayed meat,
particularly to appease their hunger. An
other says that the fish was often putrid and
full Of worms, which were cooked with the
fish, and the white bread was sour and made
of bad flour. Maggots an inch long had
been seen in the beet, and the prisoners pun
ished for finding fault with their food. by be-
ing confined in cold room, one having had
his feet frozen, and one, according to the
testimony, having been nearly frozen and
then taken out and thawed, and actually died
from having been frozen and thawed so many
times. The persons employed in the insti-
tuition were even discharged because they
demonstrated with the keeper upon his bar
barity. 1t does not seem possible that such
shameless wretch as the keeper of this
East Cambridge House of Correction should
live in the nineteenth century.

The Steamship Hungarian Wrecked of
Cape Sable, n. S.--PrObable Loss of all
on board.
The steamship Hungarian, from Liverpool
via Queenstown the 9th, for Portland, went
ashore at Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, Sunday
night, and lies perfect wreck. All on board,
but now many is not known, are probably
lost. The night was thick and the weather
stormy, so that the pilot had got out of reck-
oEing without the means of discovering his
true position. The steamers lights were
seen by passing vessel to Halifax at four
o'clock, Monday morning, and at daylight
she was ashore. The sea was so rough that
boats could not reach her. At 10 O'Clock
Monday forenoon the sea had broken her up,
and only small portion of the hull is now
visible.
Unless the passengers left the steamship
IN boats, before daylight, land this is not
probable) all are lost. A vessel has started
out from Darlington, N. S., however, to make
search for any boats. A small portion of the
mail has been recovered in damaged state,
and one passenger ticket bearing the name
of Ellen Shelhan.
Inc American consul has gone up to Cape
Sable, and several reporters have also been
dispatched, but from the inaccessibility of
the point of disaster it has been impossible
as yet to obtain further particulars.
