SHOCKING DEATH.-A boy nine years of age,
sou of Mr. Charles Frosdck, Of llenfeld, NJ ",
met with horrible death ut that place last
week. MIR. Frosdick had an interest in:a thrash-
ing machine which was in operation at the barn
Of one of his neighbors. His little son was there
and sattempted to go into grannery by a door
opening from the barn floor where the thrashing
machine was 10 operation. The door was of tie
hinges and fell upon the child when he attempted
to open IT, The weight of the door carried the
boy upon the revolving iron shaft connecting the
machine with the horse-pOwr his clothing
caught and he was instantly whrled about the
shaft with great velocity.
The shaft was about two feet above the barn
floor against which the head of the poor little
fellow was thrown more than hundred times a
minute. The first blow dashed out his brains
and ere the horses could be stopped he wa,
literally torn to pieces, presenting to the by
ISLANDERS a horrd spectacle to look upon.

NONSENSE.

The Phiadelphians, few days ago, came
across gentleman by the name of Carter, who
halls from Tennessee, and possesses the negative
virtue of being loyal citizen of the United
States =; and they ut once made the tallest
kind of fuss" with him. They serenade him ;
they illuminate the house in which he stops ;
they hurrah at him they speechiiy to him, and
as a sensible, well-bred Southron he speechihes
back again, and before be is aware of it he is n
city Lion dressed up in I" all tue pomp and cir
cumstauce" of unexpected Importance. This
kind of ton-foolery seems to be running into
great excess at the North and goes to show
how utterly ridiculous men can make themselves
when laboring under little undue excitement
There are not a few persons of the opinion that
feasting, toasting, toddying, serenadipg and
haranguing are the all-healing and sufficient
remedies for the calamities of the war which is
now upon the country.

THE ELEoTloss.-The election in Philadelphia
on Tuesday was such .iumblsd-up affair that it
will take day or two yet to tell how it result
ed, with certainty. Pennsylvania, is, we believe,
the only State in the Union that has committed
the stupendous blunder of permitting her troops
to vote in their camps However much we may
be surprised at this act Of folly on the part ol
Pennsylvania, we marvel still more at the fact
of its being permitted by the officers in command
at Washington. We are told that politicians
with bags of tickets visited the camps on election
day, aud influenced the voting of the soldiers.
What could be more demoralizing to our volun-
teers
la Baltimore, on Wednesday the election for
members of the City Councils, passed of quietly.
The rebels made no opposition. The total vote
polled was 95S7, and the whole Union ticket was
elected without opposition, save few scattered
votes. The vote exceeds by S3s the rebel vote
of last April, by which the members ofthe Legs-
lature, now in Fort Lafayette, claimed their
seats.
In Iowa, the election has resulted in the
triumph ofthe Republicans.
MoRE PRIzEs.-We learn from the Baltimore
I'arot OF Monday that the U. S. revenue
steamer Tiger, Lieut.. Commanding Jno. Nj.

d Virginia vessels, taken iu Pocomoke Sound, two
Of them laken with sweet potatoes, the third
