John Prather, Of that place, IN attempting
to1hross the SciOt6.ln buggy, few pays
Sgo, came near losing his life. When pear
ne middle Of the liver, the horse refused

deep water. Mr.P. sprang frOm the buS-
gy, and swan ashore, though in an ex-
hausted condition.
SENATOR CLARK, of New Hampshire, has
rolled in the mud for nothing, as the man
said when he was mistaken for the Preach
er. The Legislature has left him out In
the cold and tucked up Mr.. Patterson In
Clarkss bedclothes. Clark has done the
,dirtlest work of his .party-7as IN the
Stockton ease-and is now deservedlyi dis
missed to contemplate his subseryiency
at leisure. Good bye, Clark; there are
worse men than you in the world, but not
a more intense party demagogue. DO 'arli,'

sation "A great art gift enterprise, "the
most prineely and sublime inl history Is
projected. The drawing is to''take place
next October, and the first prize on the list
is Grosby's Opera House, Three hundred
paintings, works Of sculpture and engraY-
.ings, are the other gifts in the prospectus
and, according to the. Chicago Times, the
scheme, "if royal In Its dimensions, Is no
less voluminous In the possession OF probi-
ty." Tickets, live dollars, and the drawer
of the Opera House will not be compelled
to run 1t. This is lOvely.1u 90 af1wod y

made of himself In the Old School Rresby-
terrain General Assembly, nor his speech
last Saturday before the Radical Gonyen-
rtion Of Franklin couHty,in which he claimed
that his party was the party Of CHRIsrtAN7
1rY, served to make him Delegate to the
Abolition State Convention which meets
3 to-day, or to secure for him the nomination
for Congress In this District, in place of
Shellabarger. 'The political Radieals'claim
that Galloway is ~played OUT and that he
cannot again play the Radical role with
sufficient vim and venom ia, resuscltate
himselfrin politics---whatever he may be
able to do among bloodthirsty eCclesiastics!
d The Portsmouth Times says, that on Sun
dav last German named William Wiget
b was attacked by two young men named
Charles Blankehshlp and Henry Fisher, In
Washing gton township Scioto county, about
two miles below the city, on the road be-
tween Portsmouth and Turkey Greek, and
knocked down and robbed. Hiscost, about
ten dollars in money, and several other ar
bticles, were taken. The robbers were ar
rested at the Grant House, Portsmouth, and
committed to jail. 4, They had an examlna-,
tion before the Mayor on Tuesday, and be-
ing unable to give the bail required ($6OO
each), were sent up for trial at the next
term of the Common Pleas Court. .r... ~,
WIN. p. SMITH has resigned his position
as Master OF Transportation on the Balti-
more &c Ohio railroad, and Mr.. John u
Wilson has been elected in his place. The
metropolitan branch of this road from
Point of Rocks to Washington is being
built as rapidly as practicable, and Con-
gress is being asked by the Company for
authority to enter and pass the line through
the requisite portion Of the District OF
% Columbia To give renewed assurance on
the subject the Board adopted resolution
authorizing the President to state that the
policy Of the Company is to build the met
ropolitan branch, and that the work there
on shall bevIgorously prosecuted, provided
that the construction of no additional or
parallel line or lines be authorized by Con-
gress. rIi t.0ga1 oi ho.',Iny inl eaW 90
REvEREYD DocroR BULLOCK, Of an Old.
School Presbyterian Church at Baltimore,
announces that he will withdraw from the
General Assembly on account Of the recent
action at st. Louis. A meeting Of the Con-
gregation is to be held to decide whether
the flock shall follow him; and 1t is belieV-
ed that the decision will be in favor of go-
ing with the Pastor. There will be many
other Pastors and Churches inclined to do
the same thing but we would respectfully
suggest, that nothing is to be gained by
that course just now, 1t is what the Ma
lignants of the GALLOWAY STRIPE desire.--
By Withdrawals, expulsions, and shutting
the doors against Southern Churches, the
shabby set of canting, puritanical, hypo-
critical, political demago F." hope to per-
petuate their acknowledgements power.
A little more patience and perseverance
will bring everything right again, in both
Church and State. ....r. ......., ....., ,,....
