who was in our State Legislature during
the last term but one. He is gentle
man of much intelligence, well informed
in science and politics, and has an aquain-
tance with several of the leading men of
our county, with whom he became known
during the preparation of the Swamp
Land Bill, in committee, OF whom he was
chairman.
In politics our Canadian neighbors are
largely in sympathy with the South, on
the principle, | suppose, that the weaker
party is entitled to com miseration, as in
the case OF a dog fight, or big bully at

We were witnesses of most pleasing
occurrence, one that serves to feed and
strengthen the nobler impulses of the
heart, on the morning after our arrival at
Buffalo: The Twenty-Eighth Connecticut,
just on its return from Port Hudson, were
feasted by the liberality of the citizens of
that city in manner worthy of true phi
lauthropy and patriotism. The tables
were spread in the N. Y. Central depot
and abundantly furnished with hot coffee
and the attendant substantials and luxu-
ries of life. The brave volunteers truly
appreciated the kindness, as the rousing
threo times three cheers for the remem-
brance resounding through the vast edi-
fee clearly evidenced. And the angel
ministration to the sick and wounded, by
the kind promptings of woman's heart,
conveying to each cordials and the rarest
delicacies, gave fresh tokens of true sym
pathy for the ills Of those who have
braved all dangers and hardships for our
country. l viewed the scene intcntly,
and thought better, the while, of human
nature.
We made short call at Syracuse and
found the draft in course of progress there,
quietly, and with but little excitement to
the public mind. Great satisfaction is be-
ing manifested by the good citizens here,
on hearing that the draft, now in progress
in New York City, is progressing without
disturbance.

shot through his tongue, and, after re-
naming there near five months after

) The wound in his toungc could not be
healed up. Last week he felt hard sub
stance in it, which upon examination
proved to be large double tooth, which
: had been driven into it by the ball. DR.
Walker was called upon and enlaged tho
wound by cutting so that Mr.. Farr was
enabled TO take il out with his fingers
This tooth had been in the tongue some
seven months, without its presence there
having been suspected. 1t is not at al
, surprising that Mr.. Farr was unable tC
