Th rumors about the dangerous ILL
less OF the Emperor Of Germany, recent
!S circulated, were without substantial
fonhdntlon. Il Is true, says n cores
pondent, that he tainted in his apart
ments ut BabeIsberg. some weeks since,
and, ilongh he ls fully recovered in
body, his mind seems to have suffered
shock Of which traces now and then np-
pear. lie is less patient with his friends.
lie is keenly irritated at slight disap.
pon:ments. especially in public affairs,
and he shows IN other ways tho growing
nervousness peculiar to old age. This is
the case. A regency is hardly yet a
political possibility The mention Of
such IL scheme would not, the cores
pondeut thinks, be tolerated by the Em.
peror. and might accelerate crisis in his
condition.

HoRHDLE One of the snddest cases
OF death, under terrible circumstances,
We have lately encountered, was brought
to our notice, yesterday evening Mr..
Il. p. Mink, Of Kalamazoo. Mich, road
master on the Grand Rapids and In
diana Railway, died under very re-
morkable circumstances. List Monday,
while giving some directions to the
groom in attendance on the horses, he
suddenly dropped, and as was supposed,
expired. The weather being warm, the
body WAS packed in ice and brought
down to this city en- route for Valparaiso,
Ind. for interment. Arriving at the
destination. where full preparation had
been made for the funerai, the friends
and relatives were thunder-struck TO find
evident signs of life about the body. It
perspired freely. The funeral was, Of
course, delayed, and yesterday afternoon
blood flowed freely. Restoratives were
applied, but without effect. and r. P.
Mink is now n dead man; but it is past
question that he was consigned to his
icy tomb while life was still abundant, as
the fact 1T his having 30 we'll withstuod
tho awful confinement attests.

THE FARMERS MOVING This was
che caption ofa communication received
too late last week for our paper. 1t was
written as q report, rather, OF the meeting
of the farmers Of the Sth and 18th districts,
at B~ethpage on the Both ultimo. The
writer, after telling that the meeting was
q success, &C., concludes rs follows:
"If we mistake not this uprising of the
honest ycomanry of the country will make
u general rafting OF dry bones among the
adherents ofall rail road monOpolies, bond
holders, high protection tariffs-and all
rings of Middle men, ere many moons have
passed the zenith. The labor OF rural life
will become profitable and respectable, and
the laborer himself will have more seli-rc-
spect, and will be more highly respected.
Then, the Young men reared in the Il
try will not be running to towns and cities
to get employment, or, failing in that, to
spend their time in a career of vice and
crime. The Patrons Of H~usbandry will
enhance the responsibility of their voca-
ton and relieve themselves of the unjust
because unequal burthens which they have
so long aud SO patiently borne"

The Magistrates and Assessment

MEssRs. EDITORS HOME JOURNAL:
In some of your recent issues see that
n couple of authors, styling themselves
"Fair-Play" and Fact, have been pounc-
ing down very heavily on the magistrates
of this county about a small allowance
made them for assessing the taxes. Take
off the first district and | will venture to
say that Mr.. Fair-Play nor Mr.. Fact, eth
err, would do the work for the pay the AS
SCISSORS received. My God! canvass 80 or
40 square miles Of territory for seven or
eight dollars! l am q magistrate, but not
an assessor. The appointment was offered
ME and | refused it. My neighbor magis-
trate accepted it, and after he saw what
was to be done he was sick OF his bargain.
| suggested, as Mr.. Fact in his :ommuni-
cation says We should have done, that we
appoint some of our constituents. The
question then arose: Would any one &C
cept if appointed? Under the late law |
think it doubtful. After the assessors had
gone on and done the work a magistrate
who was not an assessor suggested that
the pay, as fixed by law, would nothing
like compensate them for their trouble,
and thereupon the allowance was made,
and here come up Mr.. Fact and Mr.. Fair
Play and call it Il Slaring outrage, and that
other irreligious deeds the magistrates
have done should be exposed. Now. do
not know how it appears to other masis-
trates to have such a thin" thing poked
at them by Fair-Play and Fact and termed
outrageous. To me it seems ridiculous,
and if we were to be stoned to death for
these irrcligious acts l would not fear the
stones of Fair-Ilay or Fact.
