rms Freemans Journal, the leading Or
gan of the Catholics in the United States,
has come out in terrible article against
| the Charleston Convention, charging upon
it all manner of injustice and fraud.
| REFUSES ITS SUPPoRT.-The Athens ga. J
| Waterman, an opposition paper, and long
an organ of the American party, declines
for the present." to place the names of Bell
and Everett at the head of its columns.
THE Hon. Silas NJ. Burroughs, a Repub-
lican member ofCongress from the Niagara
Orleans District, New York, died on Sunday
ut his residence in Medina. He was about
| so years old, and has been prominent man
in Western New York many years.
THE plan of lighting the streets of a
town with red headed girls originated very
appropriately in the city Of Auburn, N. Y,
| but failed through the propensity the watch
men are reported TO have of hugging the
| lamp-posts.
THE Chicago Press says: " The proba-
bilities are that no Bell and Everett electo-
raj ticket will be run in this State; and
that nine out of every ten of the Fillmore
men of 1859 will come up heartily, earnest
| ly, honestly and periodically to the support
of Lincoln and Hamlin."
ANOTHER LIE NAILED.-A reliable cor
respondent at Washington writes us as fol-
| lows:
"The Chicago Times is guilty of gross
| falsehood in charging that Mr.. Lincoln had
several pairs of boots charged to his station
cry account, while member of Congress-
There is no such charge on the books of the
House of Representatives" - CHICAGO Jour-
MILLEDGEvILLE, Ga, June 6th.-The Ma
-
night, Judge Warner presiding. Resolu-
tions were adopted re-affirming the Cincin-
natl platform, declaring that property exists
in the slave. and favoring the bred Scott
decision. The Convention also nominated
a full delegation to Baltimore.
A BosToN paper says: " We hear that a
grand combination of the heretofore hostile
and pugnacous rubber interests-both Day
and Goodyear-is about to take place. A
company, or association, with the command
of large sum of money, will buy out all
the interest, and combine in themselves the
manufacture of the various phases of rubber
goods throughout the United States. 1t
will probably prove to be one of the largest
operations upon this continent.
A New IDEA.-Mr. f. E. Bailey brought
US in a delicious apple the other day, sam
| pie of keg full which he caused to be
securely headed up and sank to the bottom
of his mill pond last November, where it
had lain undisturbed through the winter
and until about the 18th of this month
On bringing his cache of fruit to the surface
and opening it, every apple was found to be
! free from specks or rot, and as fair and I'M
wrinkled as on tie day when taken from
the tree Czaremont { N. ~ EagIe.
BEER IN ST. LoUIs.-The St Louis Re
publican contains detailed statement show
ing the names of all the brewing establish
ments in that city, with the amount manu-
featured at each during the last year. The
| figures sum up as follows: Manufactured in
| ls59-60-lager beer, 122, 400 barrels; COM
mon beer, Sc, 500 barrels ale, 4, 400 barrels.
In the year previous the manufacture of the
same article was Lager beer, Ito, 800 bar
relS; common beer, 74,4OO barrels; ale,
| 1920 barrels. The Republican estimates
that capital of 81, l24, 400 is invested in
the business.
SAD ACCIDENT.-As the evening express
.rain of the T. H. & r. Railroad was near
| ing this place, and west of Woods Mill Sta
ton on Tuesday night, the train ran over
man lying upon the track, killing him in
stantly. From a scrap of paper found near
| the body, and from conversations bad with
| ed that he was insane, and that his name
was Alexander Ferguson. He was seen an
hour or two previous to the passing of the
train, and from his conversation was evil
| IDENTIFY insane. He spoke of being wealthy,
and owning property south of Vincennes,
and from information received since his
death, it is thought he has friends and rel
atives in New Harmony, Indiana Terre
Haute Express.
BayThe Odd Fellows of this city are
making arrangements TO have public in
stallation of the officers of the several
lodges, at Metropolitan Hail. on Monday
evening, the second day Of July next. The
ceremonies are to be conducted by the r.
| W. Grand officers of the Grand Lodge of
the State and the NJ. w. Grand Sire of the
United States, Samuel Craighead, of Dayton,
! has been invited to deliver an address on the
occasion. This is the first opportunity ever
offered to outside barbarians to witness any
| of the internal work of this Order, and we
have no doubt the friends of the Order, as
well as the skepticaI and curious, will avail
| themselves of the privilege to witness the
ceremonies. A good time may be antici-
pated.-State Sent
RGF@ Last week we paid flying visit to
the city of Evansville. Since our last visit
to that city, some three years ago, it has i'm
proved in business and appearances I'M
mensely. 1t has now population of at
least 5000. We called on the editors Of
the Journal and Enquirer, and found them
engaged at their ceaseless labors. The edit
or of the Journal kindly escorted US over
the city, and from all we had witnessed, we
1 predict that Evansville, ere long, must be,
! if it is not already, the commercial empori-
! um of the great State of Indiana.
! We most respectfully tender our grateful
Acknowledgements to the officers of the
/ Dunbar, one and all, for their courteous and
1 hospitable conduct towards US while we were
/ aboard their boat. A boat Differed by such
/ gentlemen cannot be too literally patron
/ led oLcondd Herald.

shape of vessels before the Institute Of
