PANAMA, N. Y, July 27, 1872.
The first place dropped into after getting be-
yond Buffalo was Panama, where am now. have
been unable however, during all the time have
been In the country TO meet Mr. Sessions, the Rep
resentative in Congress frAn the Thirtyhrst dis.
trct; but at Dunkirk fell in with personal friend
OF his who told me that the gentleman was an out
and-out Grant man.
81 was tod," remarked to him, "when was In
Cattaraugus county that Mr.. Sessions would soon
come out for Greeley"
"By whom, prayS"
'By prominent gentleman identified with the
Greeley republicans"
'wen, sir, there is no foundation whatever fol
the statement. Mr.. Sessions has already spoken o.
meetings for General Grant, and from now unit
the day Of election he will work for him in dead
earnest"
'Do you think he will run again for Congress ?"
Gle will, and be elected."'
''But won't he have
HARD TUG
Of i right in the very heart Of Fentons strong
eyes, he will; but he's not the man to get scared
because he has big fight on hand. BY reason OF
his being in the district he Is, he will have the

for Greeley, as the latters friends in Chautauqua
claim they will ~
"They talk very loudly. but my opinion is that
neither OF the two will give anything like majority
for Greeley. You must understand In the first
place that we have good margin to work on. We
had In 1858 majority for Grant OF over seven
thousand Do you suppose for an instant that the
Greeley republicans can overcome thatY They Will
PULL THAT MAJORITY DOWN

that's where the shoe pinches-the democrats are
not all one way. | can name among my own &C

Will hurt the Grant partyYr

events we've got TO work hard In this district and

come out ahead"
Mr.. Sessions found, had many strong adhcrent,
In the district among the democrats, and If the,
should 90 for him against whoever will be pu
up by the liberals, the issue may be quite dieren
from that which the Greeley men conhdentl
expect.

"what do you think about Greeley's chances in
the State :"
"As / said before, believe that everything dc.

be a pronounced Conkling man then there will be
danger; Tor the Fent0n men, II they do not vote
against him, viii stand aloof and refuse to vote at

"Do you think they az numerous enough to

A LET UP.-That winters backbone
is broken seems now to be pretty sure.
Saturday showed us how warm it can
get when Jack Frost let's 60 his grip.
1t was warm enough for all practical
purposes, and was merely sample OF
the kind of weather that should prevail
now. Yesterday was a little cooler
than Saturday, but still pleasant and
comfortable. Well, it's time that
winter had departed. Although techni-
cally Spring does not commence until
the Goth Of March, yet we always have
a week or two spring weather before
that time.

all the other workmen at Mendep 8
cabinet factory had gone away. Joseph
Hurp, the engineer, remained to clean
up his engine. In order to get at a
portion Of it lever or cam was proped
up with a piece of wood. Somehow
the prop was knocked out and the lever,
or whatever it was, came down on his
thumb, MASKING it, and fastening Mr..
Hurp so that he could not re!eaS" HIM
self from this painful position. His
cries finally brought him aid, but not

BABY FouND.-On Saturday evening,
between 7 and 8 o'clock, Deputy Ser.
geant Luke Conant found male child.
few weeks old, wrapped up in horse
blanket, lying on the pavement on
Madison street, in front of Armstrong,
Coen & Co.'S planning mill. The little
fellow was placed in charge Of Cletus
Houser. overseer OF the poor, OF Clay
township, aud by him, on yesterday,
was sent to tue Poor House. We un-
derstand that Mr.. Stanley recognizes
the baby as one taken away from that
institution by its mother, on her leaving
there few days since. She should be
found and sent out there to take care Of
it. Barney can run a Poor House equal
to any man in America, but he can't
run a baby. Few men can.
