A PATHETIC ISclDENT.-"Mintwood,'
the Paris correspondent of the New
York Graphic, relates a pathetic Incl
dent of the actress Blanche d'Autigny,
which has been revived since her re-
cent death. Like the majority Of
French actresses, Blanche led an I'M
moral life, and yet she was not dcsti-
tnte of kindness and delicacy, as the
present anccdote ccrtifies. When Luce,
an actor, and her colleague at the Folie
Damatique, became i'll and died,
Blanche ordered her carriage, and,
waiting upon the Cashier of the thea.
tire, asked for an advance of $50 francs
on her salary. The Cashier at first
treated her request as joke, knowing
her abundant resources "But | was
never more sincere in my life, she
urged. "But this is n strange request,
replied the Cashier, '.you have only Ia
sell one of those" pointing to the dia.
monds in her ears, 'to realize 10000
francs "Ohl know that, she cried
lowering her veil to hide her tears
''but | want the money to buy flowers
for poor Luce's grave, and for these !
can only pay money honestly earned.

costly structures reared as presentations to the

number of almighty dollars appended as gilts

vet we have thought, and peerng behind the
curtain of scrutiny wondered whether indeed all

Humble faith constituted the value. The Offering
of Cain well contrasted with that of his brother

number of gifts to the Lord we believe but a

Deaths.


On Thursday morning last, Miss MARGARET

Donnel.
THE deceased has been in declining health for
three or four years, and spent several winters at
St. Augustine, Florida, in hopes of recruiting, if
not restoring her health in that genial cline. But
alas, that fell destroyer, whose victims are AS
numerous rs the leaves Of the forest, marked her
as his own, and she quietly passed from time TO
eternity surrounded by relatives and friends
Ed
Her funeral will take place tomorrow (Satur-

the Shamokn region, since its infancy, nearly 40
wears ago, and at the time of his death, was one
of the well known firm of Haas Fagely & Co., of
this place. Sober and industrious in his habits
cheerful and generous in disposition, his death
will be regretted, not only by those who knew his
worth, but by many who profted by his liberali-

The BoRoUGH ELECTIoH.-The election on
Tuesday last, in this borough, was the most spi-
rited we have seen for many years. The priRci-
pie contest was between the candidates for Chief
Burgess who are gentlemen of the highest re-
speetability. No party feeling was manifested,
and the victory WAS not won upon polltlcal
grounds. The issue raised between the candi-
dates was the policy to be pursued by the elect
ed party, or in other words, progression in our
borough matters, or non-progression. Mr..
Bourne having been nominated by the Republi-
cans it was urged against him that he was nom
progressive, which did not meet the views 0f ma
ny of our progressive citizens, when a citizen s
meeting was held and Solomon Malick was Sc
lected to run in opposition, and upon that ques-
tion was elected. The balance the Republican
ticket in both wards was carried with but lie"
exceptions. The contest for clerk resulted In
the election of Mr.. Lewis Dewart over Mr.. Peter
Gray. The defeat Of Mr.. Gray is presumptuously
claimed by the Daily, of Wednesday as resulting
through the influence ofth editor Of that paper,
but as NJ. Gray did not take stand for himself,
nor did any one else in his behalf, while Mr..
Dewart, together with large circle OF friends
among the young men of the place, were ousy
all day soliciting votes we are inclined othc be-
lief that the editor of the Daily is mistaken in his
presumptuous claim of having been the cause OF
Mr.. Gray's defeat. Mr.. Dewart gained his cleo
tiou exclusively through his own exertions, and
the influence of his personal friends. We give
below the vote of the different candidates in both
wards:

farmers walked to town and carried their pro-
