Dedication by a Bank Clerk.

MT. Charles Sloan, young clerk em- ployed by the Connecticut River Banking company, has been absent from his post and from the city for several days, and from some circumstances in regard to his mode of living, it was suspected he had used bank funds for private expenses. A dispatch was received at police headquar- ters yesterday that he had been arrested by tho police in Chicago on suspicion. Be- fore this reached here Officer Wright, of the police had been sent after the young man, and it was supposed he had gone to California. Wright started on Saturday and will be saved his overland trip, finding Sloan in Chicago. It is supposed the bank has lost about ,oOo by him, but little ot which it is thought, will be recovered, as he has lately spent money freely. Sloan has heretofore borne good reputation an6

Mir. Bof1n disappeared from this city about month ago, since which time Mrs. Bof1n has endured the trying alternations of hope and fear. Yesterday the truant appeared in a most forlorn and dilapidated condition. Mrs. B. encountered him in the parlor with the most bitter reproaches. " I shall never forgive you, Henry" ex- claimed his incensed wife. "Couldn't help it, my love, meekly responded the guilty and humiliated Boffin, 'I've been to Chicago" ':Been to Chicago!" scornful- ly reiterated Mrs. B., as an expression of contempt swept across her Grecian profile !"

Cornwall Bridge.

We have to mourn the loss of one of our oldest and most respected citizens. One who has been wont to do business of trust for not only our towns people, but that of towns adjoining, which with us will feel the loss; and not alone in this but he was and had been for years the main corner stone of the church of this village, which place there is none to fill. I refer to MT. Myron Harrison, who died last week Thursday. .. Edward Bierce is improving and is now quite convalescent......Som of the tobacco growers of this vicinity are having to pull down their crops on account of the rot, and the cloudy, damp weather is putting a dampener on theirexpectations. ....Our blacksmith wagon makers, Bar tholomew Brothers, created quite sensa- ton a few evenings since, by trying to move their effects back to Massachusetts, from whence they came, and leave behind them their unpaid debts; but murder will out, and before they had made many moves they were checkmated and made to pay for their folly. x.

A Week of Recreation.
"Is there man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said
 This is my own. my native land ?n

Who never to himself hath said
 This is my own, my native land?'
 FRIEND PEAsE-1f you ever meet such 8 person you will find that his birthplace is outside of Salisbury, aye, and of Litch- field County, also.
 We'll acquainted with that county and the Greenwoods turnpike which traverses he northern and peculiarly romantic part of it. my desire has been to pass through that region on that great thoroughfare, the c. w. R. R.
 Recently that long-cherished wish has been gratified, and from the summit in Norfolk the ride was made cheerfully on the car platform, my whole being entranc- ed with the beautiful scenery all the way to Lakeville.
 Another pleasant feature of my visit to Salisbury which will be remembered while friends; again was grasped the hands of'a feD my seniors, more of my contemporaries. The younger generation are chiefly stran- gers, although in some were seen the linia- ments of loved and lost, who were once the life and soul of our youthful gather ings; visiting again some picnic grounds hallowed by their tread, memory carried me back more than half a century and I was young again.
 Was 1t the bracing mountain air, or the excitement caused by meeting so many | friends in one short week that enabled me to pcramhulate the town with so much ease? The walk to Town Hill, Rose Hill, and Twin Lakes was mere pastime. amid such scenery and old neighbors.
 was much interested in witnessing the great improvements which have been made in mining the ore, crushing, washing, han ding, and transporting it.
 Congratulations are due the citizens of Salisbury for their public spirit in enlarging their cemetery, and I would thank the agent or agents for the laying out and grad. ing the walks and drives of the new park, and the care bestowed on the old.
 Another evidence of thrift and prosperi ty which is very gratifying to former resident, is the opening of new streets ir your villages and the building of nice com fortable dwellings,.
 That musical stream from the mountain with musical name, would discourse mu sic just as delightsome through your vii lsge if it turned the wheels of half 8 dog en other factories.

 The inventive genius of the country &C., eording to patent office returns, has had Q most extraordinary development within the last five years. Up to 1850 the patents but once reached 1000 per annum. From that period until 1860 no year showed 5000 patents,i while the average of five years past has been over 13, ,OoO per annum. A Missourian who stole kiss from a pretty girl, was fined by magistrate, horsewhipped by her brother, and hurried iuto brain fever by his wife.

7h0t DiSgrGcefu1 Wrangle.-Since we started the publication of the NEWS here in Salisbury, Rogers of the Burlington Cour- Ter has nestled around in his editorial chair in an exceedingly nervous manner. When eyer he could imagine there was an oppor- tunity to say something that would appear to our disadvantage, he has never failed to improve it. The reason of this uneasiness is patent in the minds of his readers. He could not have more plainly told them that we were cutting in on his subscription list in manner that was by no means agreed ble to him. He has several times alluded to our manner of publishing our paper, but so long as so many of our patrons hays told us they thought the NEWS better paper than the Courier, we have felt ,content to continue this same course, however much it might disturb Rogers to have us do so
 To these almost constant filings at us, we have never replied in the spirit in which they were made, till last week when we concluded to send him about as good as he gave us. Three weeks ago he published an extract from an item in the NEWS concern ing our stopping papers at the time to which they were paid, and taking only 8 certain part of the item, made it appear anything but complimentary to our way of doing things, whereas, if he had told the whole story, he could not have used it for another slur on us as he desired It was to this we replied two weeks ago, and now he thinks he has obtained that for which he has been working over year, and which we have tried to avoid; viz., controversy. In his item concerning us last week, he again, (which is the th6rd time,) alludes to our in' tellect, all of which would be very nice, were it said by somebody else. One day last spring, we were told by one of ow

D. Brewster 6 Go. It stands upon the bluff, isolated from the factories down in the valley. Of.course this entails no inconsiderable carriage from wharf and depot to the blow works, but the liberal minded proprietors believe that this is more than compensated for by the purer and cooler air, and the healthful vigor of their
 workmen. The works cover an area of ground 25O by 1sO feet. The building of brick with ornamental cornice, facings and
 projections, and fronting upon two streets,
 is really an ornament to the city. Its height
 forty feet, affords ample space between the floors, and in connection with numerous openings and 6ues in every compartment insures perfect ventilation. The capacity of the establishment is 15O workmen, turn

THERE was meeting of the Democratic
State Committee, reinforced by prominent
Democrats from all portions of the Com
monwealth, at the Merchants Hotel Phil

that the attendance was very large, and
the best feeling prevailed. Statements
were made as to the condition of the party,
and determination manifested to fight
every inch of ground at the November
election with courage and zeal. a resolu-
tion was passed, instructing the Chairman
of the State Committee to urge upon the
various county committees the duty of ex-
ira exertiOns, in order to get a full vote to
the polls on the 9TH of November Tho

present, and announced that the work of

THE following is among the many obser-
vations which show that this State may
yet be carried for Greeley and Brown.
The Neso York World of Monday says:
The Harrisburg Patriot shows that there
were in some forty counties out Of the sixty
six in Pennsylvania thirty odd thousand
Democrats who failed to vote at the recent
election in that State. Even with the por-
tentous frauds practised in Philadelphia the
Radical majority was but 80, 900; and as the
same amount of money lavished in October
cannot be spent in November-the admins
tration, even with the Federal Treasury
behind it, having too many calls elsewhere
for that-it amounts to demonstration that
the State can be carried against G rant by the
polling of the Democratic vote withheld
upon the 8th inst. Even allowing that half
of Hartranft's alleged majority of 80, 900
was genuine, the polling of full Demo
cratic vote next month can carry the State
by II, 900 majority. Let it be done, and that
1t may be done let every Democrat ia the
keystone State vote.
