Foster, Jr., Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which occurred in Philadelphia on- Sun day morning last, of apoplexy 1 ,. He was in the 54th year of his age r and leaves a family of two' children) his-wife having died three years since. Mr. Foster was « native of Pittsburgh. He commenced business- life as civil engineer, was at one time- Canal Commissioner of our State, ■and then Cbief Civil Engineer of Penn sylvania in constructing her State Works. He was afterwards elected Vice Presi dent df the Central road, a position which he has ever since maintained, with honor to himself, and- satisfaction to the Company. He was an excellent and ex perienced business man, and his practical knowledge and administrative ability must be attributed much of the success, and superior reputation of the Central Road — the most secure -and best conducted Rail road in the United States. It will re quire a good man to supply his place. The Superintendent’s Office, the Shop Ticket Office,. Despatcher’s Office, amT the Passenger Engines on the road have been heavily draped since Monday morning, out of respect for the deceased. His remains passed through4his place on the Express train, yesterday morning, on their way to East Liberty, in- the vicinity of which place they were buried. The New Arctic Exploration.— Dr. 1.1. Hayes, Surgebn of the Kane Arctic Exploration, hopes to be ready for a.start in the month of May next, for another voyage to the North Pole. Dr. Hayes has already raised $lO,OOO, one half of the necessary sum, from the gen- erous contributions of his personal friends, and hopes td secure the rest from the lib eral public at large. To assist him in this endeavor, the Geographical and Statisti cal Society of New York, have appointed va Committee of leading merchants and : other well- known citizens (among them Henry Grinnsl), and there are .reasons to hope that the appeal will not be made in vain. The special object of Dr. Hayes’ proposed expedition is to determine at enee and forever the question of an open Polar sea, which Lieut Morton saw, and the existence of which would seem to be established by a variety of circumstantial evidence. This sea Dr. Hayes hopes to reach'by making the principal portion of the trip ou dog-sledges—vehicles by which he and his associates rode over a thousand miles on the previous expedition. \ Forty-Nine Children Drowned.— From the Quincy (HI.)

The pe culiarity of the new patent stamp is this:—it leaves its impression not only on the envelope enclosing a letter, but upon every fold of the letter itself. This is effected by means of a steel die, tho letters and figures upon whicn are form ed by a series of fine points, which pierce the envelope audits contents in such a manner as to impart, ineffaceablp, the name of the post-office and date upon which the letter is mailed. Since the introduction of envelopes, much in convenience has been suffered from the want of such an invention. In numerous instances, as every business man knows, letters containing orders are received in which the name of the post-town and the date are -entirely omitted, and upon which the post mark has been so imperfectly impressed aa to be unintelligible. For this reason post dates on envelopes aro not received in court evidence and very properly so, from the fact that wrong en velopes could be easily substituted to make out a case. With the steel-pointed stamp, however, alt these disadvantages are effectively obviatdd. 25.000 15.000 20.000 80,000 22.000 23,000 5.000 5.000 A New Institution. —The Detroit papers no tice a new establishment just opened in that city Tor the purpose of enabling fugitive slaves in Canada to return to theii masters.

He made no further effort to leave, 'that being a matter of small consequence, as he can dig out almost any night, the weather be ing favorable. Mistaken Vengeance of a Mob.— At Keo kuk, lowa, about ten days since, a disgraceful outrage was perpetrated upon a Mrs. Tier.

Every man was on bis feet bellowing to the full extent of his lungs. After a long interval some little order was re stored and the President put the motion. It was responded to by a unanimous “ yell.” The confusion was wilder, if possible, than ever. The President declared Mr. Foster as having been nominated'for Governor, by acclamation. This announcement was received with great applause. The confusion still continued, notwithstand ing the efforts of the Chairman to preserve order. When order was somewhat restored, a del egate moved that a vote be taken viva voce , in order to re-affirm and thus permanently secure Mr. Foster’s nomination. This was agreed to. On the vote being taken, every delegate answered the name of “ Henry D. Foster.” The President again declared Mr. Foster as unanimously nominated. : This announcement was responded to with the wildest acclamation. Terrible Tbagbdy. —A terrible affair occur red in Franklin County, Ya., on the 25th ult., resulting in the death of three' brothers, and mortally wounding another person. The par ties met at a store to toke depositions to be used in a suit now pending for a divorce. A ques tion propounded by Captain Witcher, so exas perated Mr. James Clement, the defendant in the suit, that he resorted to the use of his pistol for. an answer, but fired to quickly to make sure of his aim. Capt. Witcher returned the fire, and killed the husband of his grand-daughter on the spot, the ball striking in the forehead.— Ralph Clement, rushing to his brother’s aid, shat-ed the same fate, from the discharge of a pistol in the same hands which bad sped the messenger of death with suck unerring certainty to the brain of his brother James. Johnson Clement, another brother, fired at Mr. John Archer Smith, a grand-son of Mr. Witcher, who was present, and brother to Mis. Yictoria Cle ment, severely wounding him in the shoulder. The wounded man then rushed upon Johnson Clement with a bowie knife, and made a fatal thrust into his bowels, the unfortunate victim falling dead on the spot. The other party, to the affray, engage 1 on the Witcher side, was a Mr. Samuel Swanson, Jr., also a devoted grand son of Mr. Witcher. Mr. S. was wounded, but will recover. Mr. Smith, the brother of Mrs. Clement, it is thought will die of the severe wound received in the shoulder. Badly Sold. — A little affair happened the other day Which is too good to bo lost. Mr. A. called on one of opr farmers, and asked him the price of oats, and was informed that they were worth 85 cents per bushel. He agreed to pay 40 cents on condition that he should bo gprmit ted to tramp them in the half bushel. To se cure the bargain he paid for twelve bushels, and the next day took bis wagon and went after them. The farmer filled the half bushel, after which Mr. A. got in and gave them a most vigorous tramping, contracting" their proportions considerably. The farmer thereupon emptied the oats into the bag without ‘ filling up the measure. Mr. A. raved, but it was no use, the farmer bad complied with his part of the agree ment, and as ah evidence, told Mr. A. after be had measured the oats, he might tramp them all day. —‘Jereey Shore Republican.

After Sanford had asked permission to bring his Mother clothes" in a handle, they went to the Alderman’ll' office, where Mr. Lox ley made a solemn oath that the man was his slave 44 Josh.” He knew him by his general appearance, and he know him by his voice.— Upon such positive evidence, and considering the respectable character of the claimant, the Alderman had but one; course, and poor San ford was handed over to 44 durance vile.” Of course those acquainted with the renowned performer, richly enjoyed each turn the farce took, and were on tip-toe awaiting the denoa meut, and of course they followed him as he de murely walked handcuffed aside of his master, to the hotel Arriving there, Sanford said, 44 Massa Charles, please let me wash do dust out out of my eyes, and take, off dese good close.” Loxley agreed to this, but would not permit him to go oat of his sight. Water was procured, and Sanford had scarcely commenced his ablu tions, ere the bystanders raised such a shout of laughter at Loxley’s'; expense, as was never beard before in the 44 01 d Dominion.” Sanford was metamorphosed in an instant.

But poor Loxley, perjured, disappointed, mor tified, the laughing stpek of the whole company, he retired amid the jeers of the spectators, and in the morning deft before day for home,4o be laughed at till the end, of Jugidays. Sandford having had removed, was compelled to treat all' around for having been the hero of so. good a joke. He was im mediately surroundediby a host of friends, and the transaction becoming quickly known through the city, the next evening, and us long as he re mained there, the rush to his performances was of the most gratifying and satisfactory charac ter. It might be truly said, those handcuffs were to him bracelets; of gold, and be left the city with several good reason for being satisfied with his experience in: Virginia, and the peculiar institution of the suqny South. 136 Beauty bt Weigh?.— Among the Hottentots, a woman is beautiful in proportion to her weight. A man takes a wife there as we take a pig here—by her pro'portions. A girl of some two hundred weight Is a fair creature. One of two and a half is lovely. One of three hundred weight is perfectly adorable. We guess some such idea must also prevail down in Maine, or they would not growbucli -enormous females as we see advertise for husbands in the Belfast Journal. Miss Eupjhemia, 19 years, weighing 238 pounds; Miss Rose, 18 years, weighing 243 pounds, are in quest’; of purchasers. Whoever gets them will get etioagb for bis money.
