The LiUe Aiii-ciu In Europe aud spent twelve thousand dollars over their Cfre Sltaiw Critame, Bgy The people of the Far Weet are laughing at tho idea of the Hon. Grautly Berkley, the famous British sportsman, of hunting buffalo with hounds. The St. Joseph Daily West says If the hounds can only be persuaded to run the buffalo, the buffalo will certainly run from the hounds, and in a oouutry where the vast herds stretch out as far as the eye can reach and the game is never out of sight, except at night, there would be no end, it seems, to his Mainjs Electov. An election was held in this State on Monday week for Governor and Members of the Legislature, and resulted in the re-election of Lot M.

Merrill, Republieau candidate for Governor, by an increased majority, and an increased Rupublican supremacy in the Legislature. PEN AND SCISSORS. 12 Scarce as true piety Local Items this week.

81 Moses, seeing a chap hoeing and another In (lie 'Tropics. The Aurora Boreallis of August 28-29 was seen in Europe as well as in this country. The London Daily News of the 29th says: Early this morning, between twelve and one, a most brilliant display of the above phenomenon was observed, extending from the western hemisphere to the northwest, and reaching to the zenith. The appearance in the west was that of a large fire, but iu the north and northeast it was of a violet color, and flashes of light of the same color darted along the heaveus with great brilliancy. This beautiful display lasted for about an hour, and then gradually died away, leaving a serene and unclouded autumnal sky." In Cuba, according to the N.

O. Yicayune, tho display was also tine. That journal says: "All our exchanges, from the northern coast of the Island of Cuba (from the southern side we have none so late), come to us with glowing descriptions of the recent Aurora Boreallis, which appears to have been as bright in the tropics as in the northern zones, and far more interesting. At Havana it made its appearance a few minutes after 9 o'clock, and in the most approved style, not as here, gradually crimsoning over the sky, but, quick as thought, it shot up, and in a moment spread over the whole northern zone, from the horizon to the zenith. At first it was very brilliant but at half-pust nine it begun to lose somewhat of its coloring, as it did of its length, and at ten it disappeared altogether.

The sky was as clear as before. At one iu the morning it made its appearance ngain in tho same sudden and luminous manner, and at the same great height, but it disappeared as suddenly and mysteriously a few moments after, only, however, to appear again. Aud now began the most interesting period of the phenomena. The sky was no more, or nt least for a moment, completely lit up from the horizon to the pole, but the light came and went, now here, now there, now iu this direction, now in that, and each time varying in outline and brilliancy. During the three hours which followed it seems to have had almost every longitude possible in its field, aud to have described every possible figure.

Finally about half-past four in the morning, only yielding to the true Aurora, it disappeared altogether. But twice before hive the Northern lights been secu iu Ilavaua within the remembrauco of the oldest inhabitants the first, November II, 1789, the second, November 17, 1848 both in the same mouth, a curious fact which has been duly noted by the wandering islanders. It is likewise remarked as curious facts, that the aurora of 1789 was followed two years after by a terrible hurricane, while that ol 1848 was, by precisely the same number of years, preceded by one. It has also been thought worthy of notice by one of our coteuiporaries that hail, in considerable quantities, fell in various parts of tho island in the early part of the month of August." The Aurora liorealisauKl the Tel-cgrapti. During the auroral display of Thursday night, 1st in Boston some curious phenomena were witnessed in connection with the telegraph wires.

The following conversation (says the Boston Traveller) between the Boston and Portland operators on the American Telegraph line will give an idea of the effect of the Aurora Boreallis on the working of telegraph wires. Boston operator (to Portland operator). "Please cut off your battery entirely from the line for fifteen minutes." Yortland operator. "Will do bo. It is now disconnected." Boston.

"Mine is disconnected, and we are working with the auroral curreut. How do you receive my writing?" Yortland. Better than with our batteries on. Current comes and gees gradually." Boston. My current is very strong lit times, and we can work better without batteries, as the Aurora seems to neutralize and augment our batteries alternately, making current too strong nt times for our relay magnets.

Suppose we wort: witho.it batteries while tve uie effected by this trouble." Yortland. "Very well. Shall I go ahead With business Boston. "Yes. Go ahead." The wire was then worked for about two hours, without the usual batteries, on the auroral curreut, working hotter than with the batteries connected.

The current varied, increasing and decreasing alternately, but by graduating he adjustment to tin current, a sufficiently steady effect was obtained to work the line very well. This is the first instance ou record of more than a word or two having been transmitted with the auroral curreut. The usual effects of the electric storm were also manifested, such a3 reversing the poles of the batteries, We are informed also, that on the Bhort line between the Cambridge Observatory and the store of Messrs. William Bond Son, in Congress street, which runs nearly East and Host, the waves of electricity displayed considerable regularity, being from a half to a miuute iu duration. Bt An amusing story, says a Toledo, Ohio, correspondent of the Knickerbocker, is told of the acuto sense of smell of a tobacconist of our city.

He, together with his clerk, was examining some tobacco submitted for Ins inspection. After carefully inhaling the flavor by three or four protracted sniffs, he exclaimed to his clerk John can't you smell old leather in the tobacco John presented it to his olfactories and "thought he could." The "chief" then sinellcd again ami declared that he could also detect a very slight flavor of maple 6ugar. This last aroma, John pronounced beyond his powers Samples of loaf tobacco, you know, are taken from each end of the hogshead, and also from the centre. The samples examined were from the ends. Ou taking a sample from the middle, there was found au old boot heel, full of maple pegs! on tobakker" from this quarter is now regarded as final.

A Good One. Professor Gardner, the renowned soap man, got off a good one at the Fair yesterday. After a learned and lengthy disquisition on the unrivalled qualities of his soap, a number crowded nrouud him to purchase, among whom was a lank, lean looking chap, who handed in a 3 bill, and asked for three cakes. The Professor eyed the bill sharply for some time, and finding it the worst kind of wild cat currency, returned it blandly to the man, with the remark that, admirable as was his soap, he believed that it wouldn't raise a lather strong enough to admit of the shaving of that note. Lanky took the hint, and his bill.

and mizzled, while a cheer from the crowd told that the Professor's hit had been understood and was fully appreciated. Yitts. Chronicle. Singular Appetite. The Superintendent of the West Philadelphia Railroad, says the North American, exhibited to us, the other day, a horse whose hoofs the rats had guawed uutil their teeth had readied the quick.

When lying down the rats had also gnawed the warts upon the inside of the horse's legs. The rats are so savage in those parts that every morning some of the horses are taken out with feet bleeding from wounds inflicted by the noctural prowlers. fi Among the recent contributions of blocks for the Washington Monument, is a block of white marble, in which is inserted a curiously carved head, with this inscription beneath "This head was carved between two and three thousand years ago, by the ancient Egyptians, for their temple erected in honor of Augustus, on the bank of tho Nile. Brought from there by J. F.

Lennan, and prsentd to tie WaiMugton Monument, 1S68. that they have made, clear profit, during the present year, about seven hundred thousand dollars. One fact like this Bpeaks volumes in favor of following out courageously a fixed principle. Justice Foiled. The massacre of schagticoke which occurred by the breaking of Schagticoke bridge, on the Albany Northern Railroad, is no doubt still fresh in the memory of most of the readers of the Tribune.

Shortly after the accident, we noticed that the Coroner's Jury had found a verdict to the effect that the bridge was unsafe, that the managers of the road had been warned of it but had neglected to repair it, that through their neglect the accident had occurred, and that they should be held accountable. The press then loudly demanded the severe punishment of those who had trifled so with the lives of the lnindreds committed to their charge each day and a distinguished and wealthy gentleman of New York city, who was aboard the train at the time of the accident, assumed the part of prosecutor. We have now to report that Mr. William White, tin President or lessee and manager of the road, has been arraigned before the Grand Jury on a charge of criminal negligence as regards the case in question. The evidence adduced is understood to have been clear and indisputable, showing the utter rottenness and unsafety of the bridge, which had been fully brought to the knowledge of the accused.

The jury, nevertheless, refused to find a bill of indictment for manslaughter, the vote being ten to eight lacking two of the requisite number of jurors to indict. It is currently rumored that this result was effected by the strenuous efforts on the part of the railroad and its agents, in the shape of promises and threats Whether it be so or not, the end is evidently uot yet. The gentleman referred to above Mr. Fuller, if we rightly remember his name has expressed a determination to push the case to the fullest extent, to seek from any and every court which can take cognizance of tho affair, that reparation which is so justly deserved, and, not kast, to arraign the managers of the road before the tribunal of public opiuion. It will probably be brought before another Grand Jury; and it is to be hoped that the result will be more in accordance with tho rights due to our traveling Community.

Arc Yon 4sgessedf We think it the duty of every man to see that his name is on the assessment list ten days prior to the second Tuesday of October, and likewise his bounden duty, as a citizen of a free and independent country like ours, where officers are selected by the people, to go to the polls and cast his vote for the man whom ho thinks best qualified to discharge the duties appertaining to the office for which he is a candidate. The omission of duty is, in many instances, as reprehensible as the commission of crime. We hold that no man has a right to stray away from the polls, but that he is called upon by all he holds dear and sacred to go up and possess himself of a privilege bought for him with the blood of as true men as ever took up arms in defence of their country. It is by and through the ballot box and the elective franchise that our liberties are to be perpetuated unto us, therefore we dare not be derelict in maintaining them pure. Selfish men who have some object to gain in certain events, never stray away from tho polls, and it therefore becomes the more necessary that honest voters should attend to counteract dishonest schemes.

Again we say, see that you are assessed on or before Saturday week, October 1st, which is tho last day it can be attended to. John McClellan is the assessor for the borough of Altoona. Railway Telegraph. A very important improvement is reported recently to have been made in the way of railroad telegraphs, by means of which, whenever anything becomes deranged, an accident occurs, or a bridge takes fire, the trains approaching in either direction can be notified at whatever speed they may be travelling. By this means, one accident need not be the cause of another and it is so contrived that a watchman at any station on tho road can give the alarm ten miles in either direction, and communicate the fact to the principal office at the same time.

But running over the proiries from which the grass has been burued, the feet of his dogs would be worn out in a day, and they would become a burthen and a drawback. If they were kept for antelope aud elk alone, the chances are that they would be lost in the first chase, or in case they could be called that they would victims to Indian arrows. Surely if a dog of any description would conduce to Mr. Berkley's sport, or aid him in the capture of game, an ordinary cur would be best. Of these we have an abundance, and asking tho gentleman's pardon for the impertinence of making the suggestion, ho had better leave hia dogs with us and take ours with him.

ItQQc A story has been circulated in the papers respecting a child in New Bedford, who was left sleeping in a cradle, and was found by its mother nearly deprived of life by a cat, which had stolen into the cradle, and was 6ucking the infant's breath. The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, a semi-medieal organ, advances the opinion that the story is all moonshine, bo far aB the child's breath is concerned, as, at such a game, the cat would have the worst of the bargain, babies having a much stronger power of suction than cats. The probability is that the cat selected the cradle as a warm bed. and lying on the child's breast, produced violent nightmare, which might have resulted, us it sometimes does, in death.

The articles on the different religions are very impartially written, and allow the careful study of an unprejudiced and sound mind; and thy importance and value cannot bo too highly estimated of such superior and unbiassed effort in a work of this kind, as too often, those pretending to give coi rect information upon such subjects are prejudiced in favor of some particular sects or denominations.

The Philadelphia Bulletin having noticed in a coteinporary, a notice of a meeting to be held for the purpose or taking measures for the relief of a man whose property has been destroyed by fire, comments thereon in a style which exactly meets our views, and we therefore appropriate the remarks and commend them to the attention of every reader.

The Bul- cons Witrinuf. in t.rm lnnat im ml tr uing the motives of the kind hearted neighbors who have taken the matter in hand nay, with the hope that he who has lost may be speedily again in prosperity, we would still point out the very bad policy of such a return to the old Roman Bystem uf repairing losses by fire. One of the greatest of modern institutions is that of insurance. He who owns a house incurs by that owning the duty of insuring it. It is a duty which he owes to himself, his children and the whole community.

It is not a matter of opinion, or something in which it is optional to take the risk it is a thing which positively ihouhl be, and what is more, it is something which will be legally enforced in the coming generation, when true and just views of social economy prevail. We know that there is hardly a man in ten thousand, even among the most intelligent, who fully admits this, and yet a little reflection must convince any one of its truth. On what is prosperity based, if not on stability and reliability of income What makes panics 1 Irregularity and unsteadiness of employment factories shut up at one time by influx of foreign manufactures, and industry fighting its way along, at one time rising, and at another falling. What contributes more to make a man shiftless, immoral and poor, than an irregular business 1 Even the possession of property is subject to ups and downs. Insurance corrects this.

There is scarcely a phase of precarious income or property which Insurance will not correct. 15y means of it thousands sleep securely who would otherwise be continually worried.
