whom, after n while, these men began to go
over in squads-and failed to return-their
views were somewhat changed. Can the
leaders Of the New York Democracy relate
any similar experience
In an election yesterday, for Bishop Of tho
new diocese of Western Pennsylvania, in the
Episcopal Convention at Pittsburg, Rev. J.
B. Kerfoot, President of Trinity College,
Hartford, Conn, received nineteen votes,
and Rev +. d. Huntington, Of Boston, had

A coTEMPoRARY says, " the reception in
tended for Gen. Grant, at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, Monday evening, is intended to be
something magnificent, without regard to
expense. The rockets and fireworks, with
devices and emblems, are intended to amuse
the outside $50, 900, while 500 enjoy them
selves within" Thus II appears that In
reference to Gen. Grant, New York is paved
with good intentions.

of the renowned Artemus we have not yet
seen in print 1t is said that A. W. being
at one of the New York churches recently,
edited the audience by his unexpected reply
to the preachers text, which was as follows:
"How are the mighty fallen'" "How are the
mighty fallen" Artemus, lsboring under
the impression that the reverend gentleman
was asking the congregation conundrum,
replied, meekly, ~, for one, give 1t up"

CAPE HAYrIEN adsices report that com
pact of some kind had been entered into b,
the captain of the Bulldog and President
Gefrard, the understanding being that tn,
Bulldog should be supported in obtaining
redress for firing into the steamer Jamaica
Packet by the rebel steamer Valdrogue. The
Bulldog ordered the Valdrogue to desist
when Salnane forcibly removed all the Hay,
tien refugees from the British Consulate
The Bulldog entered Cape Haytien closely
followed by the Haytien steamers. She
stored toward the Valdroguo, but unfortun,
ately she grounded. Her guns were, how.
ever, ranged on the Valdrogue, which was
sunk in three minutes. She then opened FIRE
on the shore arsenal, which was blown up,
and all the forts were quickly dismantled. !.
being impossible to get the Bulldog of, she
was abandoned and blown up. Troops were
stationed at all points ON the island, and the
rebellion was deemed at an end. Salnane,
the rebel leader, was among the killed at
Cape Haytien by the Bulldogs shots.
