TBB DfiUOOAATIO COUNTS' CONVENTION For this county, will assemble in Carlisle on Tuesday, ihe 9th Instant, to .nominate a County . Ticket. For llie honor and welfare of tlio Demo crats party, wo hope lo eeo such a lionet placed in nomination as willcommand the united support of the parly and the confidence of the people at large. Give us a ticket composed of good men—• men whose characters, moral and political, will bear the lest of scrutiny, and our success on the second Tuesday of Oblober may be considered certain. * 1 For State Senator we hear a number of gentle men spoken of. The Convention should exercise prudence, and deliberate calmly before making this nomination. For a position like this, our best men should bo thought of. It is a position of re sponsibility and trust, requiring honesty, probity and talent. Let the candidate be a man who can, when it b< comes necessary,defend his district and (ho rights of hts constituents—one who can take a part in the deliberations of the Senate, and feel that lie has the ability to compete with his brother Senators. For Assembly there aro but few names men tioned. Mr. McKee, our faithful Hepresenlalivo in the lasi Legislature, of course will be unanl j mously re-nominated. He Is an honest, worthy, upright man, and discharged lira duties to his con stituents in a manner creditable lo himself and to tho satisfaction of all. We hope the Convention may be equally fortunate in selecting the other candidate. j The County Commissioner will bo taken from i, town, and it is gratifying to know that we have a I score or more ol men who are ready and willing ■ to servo t heir country, or rather their county, in (this responsible position. This, beyond question, [is the most responsible office in the countv, and jtlie Convention cannot bo 100 careful in making , selection ofn candidate. The Commissioners have i charge of the taxes of die people, the disbursement jof their money, and the management of the affairs ,ol the county. To entrust such business loan ass , and a blockhead, is doing an incalculable injury 1 to the people, and is an outrage upon their rights. If Carlisle is to have the candidate, give us n man of sense—a man ol judgment and true discretion. lion.

Cooper, of Warwich township, Pucks county, some seventeen months old, had, as it appears, some lime unknown to its mother, swallowed the 1 eye part of the so-called hock and eye. The child grew very ill, greatly to the alarm of its parents, when al length they were compelled to call med ical aid, and afterwards the eye was passed from the little sufferer, by the means of a large worm, some nine or ten indies in length, having pa«s»d or guided itself through each of Its tangs or parts by which the eye is fastened, and further to the astonishment of all who saw it, after a lapse of forty-eight hours, its wormship hatched some do- Izen or more of its young, whilst laying in a of water, strange as it may appear to the practice of physicians, aa w'ell as fortunate for the child. Cases of the kind are seldom if ever met with. “Had it not,” says the Physician, “been for the worm coming in coniacl with the rye. In all human probability it would have proved fatal to the child.” Pf.rrnls and those who have care i.f children cs [K-cially infants, cannot be too careful. , ('t.AMtn againft lines of on Rail i no*nv— I The New Haven Railroad Company, i shortly after the Norwalk disaster, requited that iho railroad trams should come to a dead slop at draw bridges, nil their safe condition was n«mer Utned.

Thia question, says the Baltimore Argute once so threatening, seems just now to be In abeyance. 1 he hostile fleets colonies .and the mother country, wlych combined, wore lo sweep the cock boats of our Yankee friends from 'all.tho gulfs and oceans where cod,and mackerel are to bo found, are as quiet and as harmless as if nothing had ever been said on the subject. We have notheard of a single Yankee being arrested or driven off; and we begin to hope that we may be permitted to have our wonted relish of salmon, notwithstanding att the bluster of John Ball and his colonies. Wo certainly don’t want a fight with John Bull, but the proverb says “it is a poor soldier that won’t fight for his rations.” And wo have an opinion that our Yankee brethren do not belong to that poor class, bat are always ready to stand up for their grub. IfJohn should grow surly, and like Hid dog in the manger, want to keep others from what ho can’t get himself, we think he may find that Brother Jonathan would rather lake a short rough-and-tumble fight limn quietly submit to any *w\\ foreign airs. The whig prints were quite distressed for fear some terrible affair would lake place because President Pierce went to the New York Fair, without, as they said, having given in structions for the protection of our fishermen. It ts likely-General Pierce understood the matter as well as gpy of those croakers, and possibly know ing something of the hardy character of bis Imme diate countrymen, be may have deemed them pretty well able to lake care of themselves. At any rate there have been no hostile meetings as yet, and although there is no new treaty on the subject promulgated, yet we deem the old understanding should be hold good until it is superceded by the consent of both parties. Lord Palmerston’s war- i like demonstrations seem pretty well understood alliome,jmd don’t excite much alarm there, and are not very frightful here. We may have a war about the fish, but we doubt It; and as we said, wo expect to gel our usual supply too. England is too wise to gi I into a war with us w ithout cause, , when sho does not know at what moment she may be called upon to fight nearer at home. We dn not anticipate a w ar, althoug h w 0 sot* it eta ted that somo “now element” of discord has been lately discovered in connexion with (his question. Wo believe the w hole mailer will be amicably adjust ed without resort to the ultima iieoja. D'*™ w CiPT. Kan., U. S. A.—The Belle ville (Mo.) Mrimeate records the den I h of Capinj, EH,is K.
