| IS lamp on the corner, which, although 1t threw g bright light directly in the face l of Mir. Vessels, was somewhat obscured
 by the shed and shrubbery on Clint on street As Mr. Vessels listened, he
 heard few words of low conversation, as if some one remarked, ffhat's not the
 man, and stopping he cast look up the near the side of the shed. He concluded that something little out of order was going on, but it being late, and fearing the boat would start and leave him behind if he stopped to investigate, he hurried l along and went on board. This was ff- I teen minutes before the boat started. It l will be remembered that later still than
 that three men were seen near the corner of Main and Clinton, and at eleven o'clock the report of pistol was heard and the dead body of Captain Colvocoresses was l found on the south side of Clinton street, about midway between Main and Water !"
 Further examination of Captain Colvo- coresses' papers develops nothing incon- sistent with the correctness of his list of bonds published in our last Several old CT lists of bonds are found with frequent alterations and erasures evidently made upon changes of investment. A letter was found from Messrs J. J.. Cisco, & Co.,, of New York, brokers, relative to proposed S18, 900 of Pacific Railroad bonds which was not effected. The following fact, cor rectly reported in the N. Y. Sun, throws considerable light on the Captains mode of doing business and indicates an amount of bonds corresponding with that called for by his lists: ..i - .....s .,..- One broker relates that in 1869 he ex- changed with Capt Colvocoresses ten Central Pacific bonds for bonds of the Rockford and Rock Island Railroad. When the arrangement was made the bro- ker's son went to Capt. Colvocoresses's room at the Astor House to receive the Central Pacifcs. The Captain opened a valise in the room and took out large package of bonds, from which he selected the ten Central Pacifcs, replacing the l rest in his valise The son returned to his fathers office and in his surprise said: Father, that old man has got between $50, 900 and $6O, 900 in bonds in his satch- I el" This incident not only proves the possession of Pacific Railroad bonds by the Captain, but shows that at least three years ago he was accustomed to carry large amounts of valuable securities about | in his satchel .t ..tf -.-
 That the Bridgeport police should find anything we had not expected; but that they should actually lose the pantaloons found on the deceased, and which are said to have been torn through asad seVeral i'aches beloao. the aoaistbagd, is perhaps the most remarkable of their many bun-
 gles. 1.-the chief of that police had been | in Solomon's place he never would have
 found out the mother of that celebrated
 live baby; he might have settled the case,
 though, by losing the baby.
 We are indebted to Capt. J. E.. Whittle- sey for 8 copy of the Galveston (Tex.) News. Northern Republicans are apt to wonder what brings MT. Greeley such an enthusiastic support from Southern Dem ocrats. The News, explains this riddle without the least difficulty, and we com mend it's solution to Greeley Republicans who are looking to him for Republican administration: .... .a .-..... ... A Greeley victory will will do for the whole country what Gratz Brown victory did for Missouri. A Greeley victory will transform the national administration in- to one that is Democratic. That it will do so is clear as daylight. Neither Mr. Greeley nor the Archangel Gabriel could rule these United States without party. We ask the members of the coaUeaation if
 they suppose Afr. Greeley such c foot as | not to knOU that his administration aUiU ! be Densocrdtic. Men have called Horace Greeley fanatic, and laughed at his hon. esty, but those who buy him for fool will sell themselves for idiots, and get the full worth of the purchase. "Yes, but" | we hear some doubting Thomas say, 'swhy 1 don't he hoist the Democratic hag?" Why don't a general beat his drums and hoist his flags, and sound his trumpet when he leads a flank movement against his ene- | my? I HOrGce Greeley sOere to sag to- day, 'I an. c DepaoerQt," HE WOULD NOT BE ELECTED, because men hate names more than they hate principles. The Cincinnati platform is Democratic, if there ever was a Democratic platform erected We have the platform and we will have the fruits of victory. Then, in the sense of all that is liberal, let us give them the name. Surely # aoe haVe the kernel, are mag giVe them the empty shell.

 Last week, Frederick Gentil, a French man, fell into g coal-pit on Ivy mountain, and went down as far as the top of his head. Jacob Avery was on the pit at the time and caught him by the shoulders and by very great exertions succeeded in drawing him out of the fire, burning his hands badly. Gentil was attended by Dr. Brundage, but he is so severely burn ed that his recovery is doubtful.
