The Hartfort Post makes the following
inquiry: "Is there little boy in town
by the name of 'Uli Danger ?" We
hear very loud calls for him occasionally
from the newsboys who frequent our
alley. We judge from the earnestness
of the cries, that the good little newsboys
are impatient for his appearance. If Uli'
will only appear SO that the good little
boys won't have to call him so often, we
shall feel relieved"

place where was deposited ninety thou.
sand dollars, the proceeds of one of his
many robberies. His sister visited him
some days before he was hanged, and
tried to induce him to tell where this
hoard was concealed, but he refused, tell
ing her that if he could not live to enjoy it.,
no one else should. The Secret died
with him.
In time of much religious excitement
and consequent discussion, an honest
Dutch farmer on the Mohawk was asked
his opinion as to which denomination of
Christians were on the right way TO hea.

An Early Convention.

With few exceptions, as we have frequently
written, the Republican press of the State
now favor an early meeting Of a convention
to nominate candidate for Governor. In
conversation with a distinguished State Sen
ator, a day or two since, be reduced the pro-
position for an early convention to means Of
accommodating the delegates and members Of
the Legislature in very practical manner.
The great majority of those who usually at
tend such conventions are men who generally

ipate in the changes OF new administration.
Members of the Legislature of the party
identify with the President in9ugerated, also
desire to be present during such ceremonies.
1t is proposed 10 hold a Republican State
Convention on the % of March. If this is
done, the delegates in that body can leave
Harrisburg Tor from wherever the Conven-
tion assembles) on the Sd and be in full time
on the 4th of March, in the city Of Wash
ington. From present appearances, we
Judge that the Democratic State Convention
will be held on the 4th of March. II this
be so, one adjournment of the Legislature
will serve to accommodate both parties with
time to attend their conventions. The Sen
ator in question takes this practical view of
the subject, and We agree with HIM as to its
utility and the accommodation it will afford
all concerned. There is no denying the ne
cessity of holding an early convention -

A LEGAL "PLAcER ExHAUsTED.-
The Hartford Post says the ease of the
British government against the Sharpe
Rife Company Of that city, which has
been before the courts for twelve years,
has at last been decided by the supreme
court in favor of the British government
In 1856, the British government made
q contract for arms for the Crimean cam
paign with the Sharpe company. To
secure the fuliilment Of this contract, the
British government took a mortgage of
certain lands near Sharpe factory. The
government claims non fuliillment of
the contract, and asks for a foreclos
ure of the mortgage, in order to sell the
lands; and that is what they have at
last got The whole amount in contro-
versey is about 100000, and the lawyers
concerned have had by far the best Of
the thing.
The British government has kept a
colonel of the army on full pay, $4,000
a year in gold, in New York all the time,
to manage the case, but all he has had to
do has been to pay the counsel for the
Crown their $50 per diem in gold, when
engaged on the case, ana to sign his
nrme occasionally, while he boarded at
the first class hotels. The lawyers
nal urally enough, regret the " death of
tho old goose"
