Mr.. j. f. TAYLOR has been prosecuted fol-
refusing to accept the office of alderman OF
New York-Ensland, of course. He must pay
fine of $3.50 if he remains obstinate. In our
New York the citizens are more patriotic and
public spirited. There are no doubt to be
found individuals In the latter city who would
pay $3.50 to get the position and make splen-
did speculation of it at that. -

lead mob to tear down every English Lega-

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE.-A Pittsburg paper

on large scale. Bank and business men

HARD BUT TRUE.-The London Times says
in the following extract from recent editori-
al what may well alarm the business men of
the country. 1t is speaking of the financial
management of the Erie railroad:
Nothing is more sensitive than capital to
symptoms of dishonesty, and the financing of
the Erie railway during the present year is Pc
culiarly of nature to scare daody foreign capt.
tai tohich might oera0ise hare found its sody to
AD,ericd. No country could lose more by con-
duct having such a result than the United
States, for no country can employ capital
to greater profit. The impunily of the
Erie directors affects the credit of
more than that single railway. It
It has arisen from the unwillingness or
the ineapaeity of American public opinion,
iudicatures, and legislatures to chastise, or
even check, convicted roguery. Unless, there
fore, an example be made thoroughly and
speedily of these particular offenders, Europe
IN naoney-nldrkets aoiH feel no adequate security
| egainst other American companies under SIM
lar terrorism to that of which the Erie COM
| p,ny is now the victim.

INGENIOUS INsTRUMENT.-We were shown
at Lowell and senter's ION Exchange street
yesterday morning, an ingenious little instru-
ment entitled, Pocket Sheet Metal Gauge,
for the use of paper makers, jewellers, &c. By
this contrivance the thickness of bank bill
is accurately measured and it is found that it
will take $50 of them to make an inch in thick
ness. Surprising then you had million dol
lars in one dollar notes and it took two
hundred and fifty of them to make an inch in
height the whole million would make a pile
333 feet high.

THE CIRcUMLoouTIoN OFFICE.-The New
York Herald thus details the process of cir
cumlocution existing in that city. When a
horse drops dead in the street it is the duty OF
the policeman ON the beat to examine the car
cass. If he finds life extinct he is required to
report the same to the roundsman as soon as
be encounters him. The roundsman, having
convinced himself of the truth of the
statement, reports to the sergeant on duty
when he returns to the station. The sergeant
on duty enters the fact on the blotter. The
captain copies it from the blotter and reports
to the superintendent. The superintendent,
through the inspector, refers the case to the
Board of Health. The Board of Health,
through their secretary, communicate the in
telligence to the Sanitary Committee. The
Sanitary Committee refer the matter to the
Bureau of Vital Statistics. The Bureau
OF Vital Statistics thereupon issue instructions
to a contractor. who keeps a windlass, two
men and dead-horse truck. and the contract
or thereupon proceeds at his leisure to remove
the body.

by the Press to the counsel of Samuel Hill
1t will be seen by reference to the remarks of
Judge Howard made upon the occasion OF
Hills sentence, that il any injustice was done
to the counsel it was done by that gentleman,
since he distinctly repeated several times that
there were no furher proceedings in Hills
behalf because he had no money. We never
dreamed however, of holding his counsel to
an account for notfurnishing the funds neces-
sary for the defene of criminals in Cumber-

EPIDEMIC. There appears to be the same
epidemic prevailing in this city at the present
time which we have been informed by our ex.
changes, and by correspondents, has been ex.
listing in Lewiston and elsewhere. 1t seems to
be different from the usual influenza, inasmucb
as it affects the liver as well as the mucous
membrane of the nostrils and threat. 1t usu-
ally commences with vomiting, the head feels
very much swollen, and the liver is more or
less congested. The patient has chills and is
nquite high fever, and in some of the cases
sore throat accompanies the other symptoms.
Itlasts about week, but leaves the GONZALES
cent very weak and with sensation of fullness
about the head that only wears off with time.
A great many of our citizens have been, and
are now, afflicted, and we hear that in one
school in this city forty out OF fifty scholars
have been down with il.
