An Internal Machine.

An unsuccessful attempt at muir
der by means of an Internal ma
chine was recently made at Hart
ford, Connecticut. A neatly COW
cred box was received at the depot
i'll that city on Thursday, directed
to Hiram Allen, Esq. The express
man took it to the residence of Mr..
Allen on the following day, and that
gentleman, thinking that the box
might contain samples of tobacco
or grain, in which he deals largely.
sent to him by some one who want
ed to sell, received it and began to
pull off the lid, which was sliding
one. While endeavoring to do so
his suspicious were aroused by a
grating sound and the sight of a
row OF matches set upon end. He
took a knife and cut the cover, and
was thus enabled to get it off with
out trouble. He then found at each
end of the box rows Of matches
fastened on their ends, the phos-
phorous part uppcrmost. On the
lid Of the box pieces of sandpaper
were fastened, and they were so
arranged that had the lid been
drawn off quickly the matches
would have ignited. Across the
center Of the box another row OF
matches was arranged. They were
cut in two, and on the lid similar
row was placed, with cloth so ar
ranged that when the lid was pull
ed off the two rows would come to-
gether, and the conclusion would
ignite them. About two pounds OF
powder were found in the two
apartments, and it was evidently the
intention Of the person who sent
the box to wound If not kill the
person to whom it was directed.
Nothing is known of the perpetra-
tor of the deed, though suspicion
is said to be directed to the wife oil
Mr.. Allen, who is represented as Q
person of violent disposition.

he had already given him return
ticket from Seneca Falls to Geneva.
This the conductor denied, and the
boy refusing, the conductor put
him off without stopping the train.
Tho lad trudged the six miles to
Geneva on foot, and proceeding at
once to the ticket office, asked the
agent if he remembered selling him
a ticket to Seneca Falls and return
that morning. He remembered it
well, and further offered the boy
twenty cents, which the conductor,
hearing the result, had left with
the agent for him. Our boy, how
ever, was too sharp to accept it. A
lawyer was engaged and the boys
guardian has commenced proceed
ings against the New York Central

SMALLPOX Expense.

There has been much said in re
gard to the heavy expense to tn,
city caused by the existence o
smallpox in this vicinity during
the winter, and all manner of esti-
mates have been made by parties
who knew nothing about it. These
estimates range all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000, the latter being
an estimate made by the Pioneer
not long since; but it seems from
the facts we have received from
members Of the Board of Health
that these figures are altogether
too high. The total expense to the
city, from smallpox, is not far from
$4,000, and of this amount the
BOARD think they will received from
individuals afflicted, from $4,000
to $4,000, thus bringing the total
in the end down to at most $4,000.
During the prevalence of the
disease, our citizens were loud in
their praise of the Board of Health,
they asserting that all was being
done that mortal man could do I'M
der the circumstances, and all APP
peaIed TO be well satisfied with the
proceedings Of the Board. But
now that the scourge is past, we
often hear grumbling and growing
from some men who can never be
suited in anything, and are always
on the contrary side, whether right
or wrong. They appear to have a
dislike to any and everything not
under thier own immediate super
vision, and the habit of finding
fault has become so chronic with
them that it is now like q long
standing disease that cannot be
rooted out. Nevertheless we have
many good, whol,-souled men
us, who always look at such
in their proper light, and
these are the men who now proclaim
that the actions Of the Board were
right and just, and thai it was not
within the bounds of possibility or
reason to exterminate the disease
sooner, or at less expense,

Canby's plan seems to be to sur

Modocs. For that purpose four
posts will be established on the
outskirts Of the lava sections and
shore of the lake.

Party Name.

A resolution was adopted in the
Liberal Democratic Convention,
held at Jackson on the 18th, which
recommends the abandoning of the
old party name, and in the future
to support Liberal tickets, of which
the Jackson Patriot says:
AS the first uttrance Of a Liber-
al-Democratic Convention in Mich
igan, since the election of 1879.
this expression on the political sit
uation will have some significance.
1t demonstrates, first of all, that
the Liberal Republicans of Jackson
county, like Liberal Republicans
everywhere else, have not the
slightest idea of returning to the
ranks of the administrationists.
The recent appalling disclosures at
Washington forbid this, and fur
nish Liberal Republicans with the
amplest justification for their seces-
sion in May last and it is safe to
say that the differences between
the Geantites and the Liberal Re
publicans will not be SPAWNED, un-
less to allow further exodus of
honest men from the administration
party. Those who are already out
propose to stay out.
OF course the Democracy hold,
as they have always held, that there
can be no reform in government
until the present dynasty is over
turned. The Liberal Republicans
come to the same conclusion, it is
inanifestly the duty and the inter-
est of both detatchments of the OPP
position to cooperate in the move
ment against the Credit Mobilier
corruptionists. The purposes be-
ing identical, how can they be bit
ter accomplished than by joining in
n common organization under q
common name dropping all pre-
vious partisan appellations, and
gathering under the expressive IL
tie of Liberals We venerate the
name Of Democracy; but in these
later days names go for little, rs
the history of she Republican party
demonstrates and we are willing
to drop the old title, with all its
honored associations, for anew one,
II by such course the corruption
which prevades every department
Of the government can be broken
up and the desired reform brought
about. Tho Democratic party hav-
ing broadly committed itself TO the
principals of Liberalism, should
now, we believe, strike hands still
more firmly with their Liberal Re-
publican allies, drop everything

One Of the Boys.

Recently a boy employed in the
Geneva Gazette Office was sent to
Seneca Falls upon an eirand, and
before starting purchased a ticket
to Senesa Falls and also q return
ticket. On his return this ticket
was taken up by the conductor be-
tween Seneca Falls and Waterloo.
After leaving the latter place the
conductor again came to the boy
and demanded fare from Waterloo
