to ups and .downs. Insurance corrects
this. There is scarcely a phase of pre

.enxred by the- breaking of Scbagticoke
bridge, on die Albany Northern Railroad,
a no doubt still fresh in the memory of
most of the readers of the Trifhme.—r
Sbortly'afleTlhe accident, we noticea-that
‘the Ooroneris Jury-bad found a verdict to
the effect that the bridge was unsafe, that
the managers of the road had been warned
of it butjhad neglected to repair it, that
through their neglect the accident had oc
curred,.and that they should he held ac
countable. The press then loudly de
manded the severe punishment of those
who had trifled so with, the lives of the
hundreds committed to their charge each
day; and a distinguished and wealthy gen
tleman of New York city, who was aboard
the train at the time of the accident, as
sumed tbe part of prosecutor. We have
now to report that Mr. William White,
$h 3 President or lessee and manager of
the road, has been arraigned before the
Grand Jury on a charge of criminal neg
ligence as regards the case in question.—
The evidence adduced is understood to
have been clear and indisputable, showing
the jitter rottenness and unsafety of the'
bridge, which bad been fully brought to
the knowledge of the accused. The jury,
nevertheless, refused to find a bill of in
dictment 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 evi
dently not yet. The gentleman referred
to above —Mr. Fuller, if we rightly re
member his name—has expressed a deter
mination to push the case to the fullest
extent, to seek from any and. every court
which can take cognizance of the affair,
that reparation which is so justly deserved,
and, not lease, to arraign the managers of
the road before the tribunal of public
opinion. It will probably be brought be
fore another Grand Jury; and it is to be
hoped tliajt the result will be. more in ac
cordance with the rights due to our trav
eling community.
Are You Assessed!
We think it the duty of every man to
see that his name is on the assessment list
ten days prior to tlfe second Tuesday of
October, and likewise his bounden duty,
as a citizen of a free and independent
country like ours, where officers are se
lected fay the people, to go to the polls
and cast his vote for the man whom ho
thinks; best qualified to discharge the du
ties appertaining to the office for which be
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 sailed Upon by all he
holds dear and sacred to go up and pos
sess 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 wo dare
not be derelict in maintaining them pure.
Selfish men who have some object to gain
in certain events, stray away from
the polls, and it therefore becomes the
more necessary that honest should
attend to counteract dishonest schemes.—
Aguiu we-say, see that you arc assessed
on er before Saturday week, October Ist,
which is the last day it can be attended to.

The Aurora BorealUs of August 28-29 was
■Mn Inßubspe as hs in this eoutdry. .The
London.Daity, iVnc,* ofthe 29th says:
‘ *• Early this morning, between twelve and one,
a moetbriUiqnt -display of the! abote phenome

hemisphere to. the northwest, and reaching to
the zenith. The appearance in the west was
that of* large fibre, but in the north ahd north
east it was of a violet color, and ffaabes of light
of the same color darted along the heavens with
great briUlatocy.: This beautiful display lasted
for about an hour, add then gradually died away,
leaving a serene and unclouded autumnal sky.”
In Cuba, according to the N. 0. Picayune, the
display was also fine. That journal says:
“ All our exchanges, from the northern const
of the Island of Cuba (from the southern side 1
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 a*, in the northern zones, and far more
interesting. At Havana it made its appearance
a few minutes after 9 o’clock, and iu the most
approved style, not as here, gradually crimson
ing over the sky, but, quick as thought, it shot
up, and in a moment spread over the whole nor
thern zone, from the horizon to the zenith. At
first it was very brilliant but at half-past nine it
begun to lose somewhat of its coloring, as it did
of its length, and at ten it disappeared altogeth
er. The sky was os clear ns before.
“ At one iu tbe morning it made its appear
ance again in the same sadden 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.
And now began tbe most interesting period of
tbe phenomena. The sky was no more, or ut
least for a moment, completely lit up from the
horizon to the pole, but the light cameand went,
now here, now there, now iu this direction, now
in that, and each time varying in outline and
brilliancy. During tbe three hours which fol
lowed it seems to have had almost every longi
tude possible iu its field, and to have described
every possible figure. Finally about half-past
four iu tbe morning, only yielding to the true
| Aurora, it disappeared altogether,
j “ But twice before have tbe Northern lights
I been seen iu Havana within the remembrance of
I tbe oldest inhabitants—the first, November 14,
1789, the second, November 17, 1848—both in
the same month, a curious fact which has been
duly noted by the wandering islanders. It is
likewise remarked as curious facts, that tbe au
rora of 1789 was followed two years after by u
j terrible hurricane, while that of 1848 was, by
I precisely the same number of years, preceded by
j one. It has also been thought worthy of notice
I by one of our cotemporaries tQat bail, in con
j siderable quantities, fell in various parts of tbe
island in the early part of the month of August.”
The Aurora Borealis and the Tel
egraph.
During the anroral display of Thursday night,
Ist inst., in Boston some curious phenomena
were wituessed-in connection with the telegraph
wirea The following conversation (says the
Boston Traveller) between the Boston and Port
land operators on the American Telegraph line
will give an idea of the effect of the Aurora Bo
rcallis on the working of telegraph wires.
Boston operator (to Portland operntoi}.—
“Please cut off your battery entirely from the
line for fifteen minutes.”
Vortland operator. —“ Will do so. It is" now
disconnected.”
Boston. —“ Mine is disconnected, and we arc
working with the auroral curreut. How do you
receive my writing ?”
Vortland. —•* Better than with our batteries
on. Current comes and gees gradually.”
Boston. —“ My curreut is very strong at times,
and we can work better without batteries, as
the Aurora seems to neutralize and augment
our batteries alternately, making curreut too
strong ut times for our relay magnets. Suppose
we work without batteries while we are affec
ted by this trouble.”
Vortland. —“Very well. Shall 1 go ahead
with business?”
Boston. “Yes. Go ahead.”
The wire was then worked for about two
hours, without the usual batteries, pn the auro
ral current, working better than with the bat
teries connected. The current varied, increas
ing and decreasing alternately, but by gradua
ting the adjustment to thi current, a sufficiently
steady effect was obtained\to work the line very
well.
This is the first instance on record of more
than a word or two haring been transmitted
with the auroral current The usual effects of
the electric storm were also manifested, such
as reversing the poles of the batteries, Ac.
We are informed also, that on the short line
between the Cambridge Observatory and. the
store of Messrs. William Bond & Son, in Con
gress street, which rnus nearly East and West,
the waves of electricity displayed considerable
regularity, being'from a half to a minute in dura
tion.
An amusing story, says a Toledo, Ohio,
correspondent of the Knickerbocker, is told of
the acute sense of smell of ai tobacconist of our
city, lie, together with his. clerk, was exami
ning some tobacco submitted for his inspection.
After carefully inhaling the flavor by three or
.four protracted sniffs, he exclaimed to his clerk ;
“John can’t yon smell old leather in the tobac
co ?” John presented it to: his olfactories and
“thought ho could.” The “chief’ then smelled
again : mm declared that he could also detect a
very slight flayer of maple sugar. This last
aroma John pronounced beyond his powers.—
Samples of leaf tobacco, you know, are taken
from each end of the hogshead, apd also from
the centre. The samples examined were from
the ends. On taking a sample from the middle,
there whs found an old boot faeel, full of maple
pegs' - Judgment on “lobakker” from this
quarter is now regarded as final.
A Good Osb.— Pjrofessojr Gardner,, the re
nowned soap man, got off a good one at the'
Fair yesterday. After a learned and lengthy
disquisition on thb unrivalled finalities of his
soap, a number crowded, around him to pur
chase, among whom whs a dank, lean looking
chap, who handed in a §3 Ibill, aqd askpd for
three cakes. The Professor eyed thVhUl sliarp
ly for some time', ahd '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 lit wouldn’t raise a
lather strong enough to admijt of the shaving of
that note. Lanky took the ILinL nhd.his bill,
and mizzled,' while a cheer from the’crowd told
that the Professor’s hit hml been understood and
was folly appreciated.—Pitts. Chronicle.

infant's breath. The Buffalo Commercial Ad-

opinion that the story is all moonshine, so far
as the child's breath is concerned, as, at such a
game, the cat would have Itho worst of the bar
gain, babies having a : muqhi 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 night

In the present work, the development, doctrinal

pemloas and-accurate, and will afford all ths Information
which might be procured with great difficulty and expense,
and much labor and research, hum the larger polemical
works and encyclopedias.
Dr. Smucker has evidently prepared this work with
much care, and it exhibits great ability and learning. The.
articles on the different religions are very impartially writ
ten, and show the careful study of an unprejudiced and
sound mind; and the importance and value cannot be 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 sneh subjects are prejudiced in
favor of some particular sects or denominations. Mr. Bul
ison has brought out the work-in a very handsome form,
and the public is indebted to hfm for a very valuable, In
structive and useful book. The prlce, $l,OO, is remarkably
low for such a work, and in order that it may hare a rapid
