the liberal and united feeling which prevailed, and
the unanimity with whi - zh the nomination of Hon.

urination of a 'Democratic Convention is the best
rerstimonint that could be offered of the reputation

he is qualified to adore.
The xesolutione approving of the National and

Resorva4 That a grant of one baulked and sixty

We are indebted to the obliging publishers for a
copy of ibis excellent ;yolk of fictini.. A. writer of
ability and judgment poises the following opinion
on the book before us:
" Since the Jays of r Frankenstein,' when Byron
and Shelly declared themselves surpassed by Mrs.
Shelly's work, there has not been so powerful or
so exciting a novel as the one before us. Flanken
atien, however, drew its interest horn the power of
necromancy, while Mark Hurdle/fame owes its in.
terest to the magic of the human heart, and the
lights and shadows of human passions." •
Flaw.—The Athenian chronicles the following
losses by fire in that vicinity:
" We hears that the dwelling House of the Wid
ow Hovey, in Ulster, was tototally destroyed by
fire, vvith most of the contents on Saturday after-
noon the 16th ult So tepid was the flames that
she did not save her Policy. The loss partially
covered 15 insurance.
And on Saturday the 23d ult., the dwelling House
of %Vm. Sible, in Athens twp , with most of the
contents was also destroyed by fire—partially in.
sured.
And on Saturday morning, about one o'clock, A.
M , (we are informed) the Barn of Mr. Geo. West,
in Smithfield', was struck by lightning and entirely
consumed, together with a large amount ol person
al property, such as hay, grain; carriages, sleighs,
&c., burning so rapidly that nothing was saved.—
This making three fires in an immediate neighbor.
hood within three weeks."
(lz:r By the present arrangements, a letter from
Firvhester, Syracuse, or any place north of Elmira,
is four days in reaching this post office, when half
that time should be ample. There is something
wrong—whether in the post masters, agents, or the
regulations of the department, we are unadvised.
Can any one inform us where the fault is?
