Watertown, June 26th, 1860.
IA At GAINESVILLE, on Wednesday last,
on the cars from Dolavan to this city, we were
joined by somewhat novel company. The
worthy Sheriff of Rock Co., R. 7, Lawton, Esq,
with deputy from Beloit, was on his way to
Waupun, having in charge eight convicts: Og-
den Barrett, for Assault with intent to kill, one
year; John Hayward, for Forgery, two years;
jeremiah Travis, for Poligamy, three years;
Jeremiah B. Trout, Burglary and Larceny, one
year; George Medervis, and Emma, his wife,
for keeping place OF questionable resort, six
months each; Chauncey Farriday, Larceny,
one yeur; James Whalen, Burglary, one year.
Associated with Temptation and Crime, Impris
onment and deeps of Suffering, this company
were surrounded by an atmosphere. like the
whole atmosphere of this imperfect WORLD only
little more dense and dark, and hence so much
the more calculated to excite sympathy.
BOYS BEWARE.-A little lad had mar
row escape from drowning, the other day, while
bathing in the river, back of the residence of
Mr.. Enos He was seized with cramping, and
it was with the utmost difficulty that be was
able to sustain himself above the water until
his associates came to his assistance. Aside
from the liability of youngsters to be drowned
while bathing in any other than shallow water,
they frequently do great damage to their health,
as do also children of a larger growth" by
going into the water when in a state CT perspi-
ration. In this way, diseases of one kind or
another are contracted, which, sooner or later,
end in death. An active intelligent, little boy,
the son of one of our prominent citizens, is now
troubled with O disease of one OF his limbs,
which our physicians attribute solely to this
cause.
Again, we say, boys, beware! We are hardly
prepared to endorse the wisdom OF the prudent
DANCES injunction to her son. q Johnny, be sure
you never so into the water till you have
learned to swim !''-but we would advise boys,
l. Not to go battle while in state of perspira-
ton 2. Not to venture into water beyond their
depth until they have learned to swim well ;
and, 3. Never to remain in the water more
than ten minutes during ono day.
F The Democrats Of this city burne d
little ''vilanous salt-peter" on Saturday
evening, upon the reception of the news OF
Douglas nomination. Some six or eight guns
were fred, but owing either to the bad quality
or small quantity of the powder used, but little
"noise,n and no " confusion" was created
Our opponents may have thought that it would
not look well to be exceedingly jubilant over
a nomination made under just such eircum-
stances If so, we award them due praise, not
only for their taste, but for the political oresgh.
displayed by them. On the occasion to which
we allude, there was no yelling in the streets.
no throwing up of caps, no flourish Of flags. nc
bonfres, no Examinations, no spread-eagle
speeches, no enthusiasm of any kind. All was
quiet, all orderly, all tame-ominously tame
It's we'll, doubtless What's the use in becoming
excited at the nomination of even q political
idol vxbila tbot nomination IL made under cir.
