It's with pleasure, rs well as pride
that we call the attention of the citizens
Of the Second District 10 the distin-
guishcd Representative, Hon. M. &.
Kerr, though weary and exhausted with
the severe labors OF his successful can
vass in this District, yielded to ihc solic-
itations OF the Democracy of New Jer-
sey and New Y ork. and is doing valiant
service in the contests now going on i'm
those STATES. lie is meeting ( he lion in
his den, discussing the tariff within the
sound of the manufactures whose
we llthy masters have procured the oner-
Gus weight of oppression in the tariff
scheme Of the present Congress. He is
canvassing the Newark Distric. OF New
Jersey, and we see by the telegraph re-
ports that he was one of the CHIEF speak
ers in the great demonstration tSat took
place at Tammany Hall, in New York,
last night. Mr.. Kerr's reputation is not
confined within his own State, and his
abilities as an able statesman have
met with distinguished recognition in
all parts Of the country.-N. A. Ledger.

Bully for West Virginia!

The Democracy everywhere are jubi-
liant over the result of the election in
West Virginia, and begin TO feel as If
day was dawning, after long and wea-
ry night. A majority of 5000 for the
Democratic State ticket, a gain of two
Congressmen, and a majority in the Le-
gislature, which will elect a U. S. Sena-
tor in place Of Wiley, whose term en-
pires-all in a State which was consid-
cred certain for the Kadicals by both
parties, is enough to make us rejoice.

new way of relating horrible accidents and
pathetic events, which is quite effective as
we'll as concise. Here are some examples:
''That was bitter joke Of the man in
New Jersey who PUT a quantity Of jaip in
some beer his friend was about to drink.
The funeral was very generally attended. !"
"a man in New Hampshire, the other
day, ate fifteen dozen raw oysters on Il
wager. The silver trimmings on his coffin
cost twelve dollars and thirty-hve cents"
'John Smith, in Nebraska, said he could

and sixty men up the river to capture the
Forward. Upon nearing the steamer boat

refused to stop, when orders were given
and obeyed to FIRE. The Mexicans on the
bank Immediately opened deadly fire on
the boats from bettery Of five 12-Pcanders,
and from an infantry force. Ensign Vain

killed. The expedition, however, captured
and destroyed the Forward, and took as
prisoners George Holding, first officer, Jas.
Lee, second officer, Ed. johnson Engineer,
and II. Martin, Harry Roch, Jas. Hughback,
seamen. The expedition retreated down The
river through a running fire from the bank.
