A Blow ON the chin.

A telegram from Binghampton, New
York, says: The case of James Will
sey, the young man who, on the night
OF June 2lst, At Deposit, killed Allen
Mcclure with single blow of his dst
upon McClure's chin, Is exciting great
interest here among medical men and
scientists. 1t has proved that the man,
when struck, was IN a condition of per-
feet health, and that he did not die OF
heart disease, as asserted, nor is there
any thing upon which 10 base the allie
cations of the defense, that the man
died of apoplexy, as none of the usual
indications of that affection were
found"

THE SCRAMBLE FOR PLACE

When a Democrat gets it into his
head that there is an office lying around
loose, he becomes a curious and an IN
teresting spectacle.
If the Office appears to him to be
rather remote, he takes his pay in
dreams and wishes and vivid fancies of
how he would look as chief of the lit
tie realm over which the office rules,
with his chair tilted back and his feet
above his head, amidst a circle of ser
wants and admirers.
But if the office loses its remoteness,
draws near unto him and becomes 4
possibility or, haply, a probability, it
transforms the Democrat, fills him with
gorgeous visions, crowds his life with
beatifc imaginings, and subjects him to
a series of delightful and ecstatic
spasms. His eyes sin fine frenzy
rolling" he ascends into the seventh
heaven, and under his tongue the "pro-
liability" becomes an exceeding sweet
morsel.
As the probability approaches nearer
and nearer to certainty he swells with
sensation of importance, casts upon
his acquaintance benign and patroniz-
ing smiles, looks wise, feels big, button
heles his friends and communicates to
