and who in his last illitess.requested that he should
be borne to his final resting. place by his brethren
.of the hlasonic fraternity.
Fondly attached to the order of Masonry, he tea
welled its ancient rathways until he reached some
of its loftiest heights, where he could take a retro.

Temples, now crumbling to earth beneath the

spell can quiet the storm of passion, relax the fero

dealing rifle, or the murderous tomahawk : arid
whose mystic tie makes her the almoner of charity,
in dispensing aid to the needy way faring stranger,
without letting the right hand know what the :eft
hand doeth.
Alas! death has c - liierid the ear of our Brother to
the sound of the gavel, and wrested (rem his hand

In the closing scenes of life, while the soothing
hand of conjugal love daily and nightly passed gent

sleep; filial affection, no less praiseworthy in its
assiduity, generously and kindly ministered to eve

as his immortal soul lingered patiently upon the
shores of time, awaiting the thrilling summons to
an an untried eternity, he had the solace of pious
friends to cheer him on his anticivred pilgrimage
to that bourne from whence no traveller Menne.

Tuesday evening next, the Delegates which
are chosen to-Jay, meet in , County Convention, to
settle upon a ticket to be supported by the Democ.
racy of Bradford. It has been many years since a
ticket has been placed to nomination under more
gratifying and favorable auspiceb The Democrat
ic party, united by the wisdom and discretion of
President Pinot, has just achieved a succession of
most brilliant triumphs, which have placed the
country under the administration of Democratic
principles, and infused Lito the Republican party a
new zeal and rpirit. Past distinctions obliterated,
past animosities torgotten, the Democraic party is
once more united, in the Nation, in every State, and
almost in every County.
To the principles and policy which have:distin
guished the Administration of Gen. PIIMCZ, the
party and the country ate ready to render a warm
support, and though there may be discontented
spirits, disappointed in being able to monopolize
and control the patronage to be dispensed, for their
own self aggrandizement, whose discordant notes
are occasionally heard, yet a vast majority are rep.
dy to stand by the National and State Administra
tions, and sustain their action white prudence and
a regard fot the , ivelfare of the Democratic party,
characterize their condi:et.
In Bradford, thete is more than ordinary reason
- to prophesy the triumphant election of the ticket
which will be selected on Tuesday nit,ht. No ele
ments of discord exist, which can possibly disturb
the harmony of the action of the party, or endan
ger the success of our candidates. In view of this,
it should be the greatest care of the Convention to
place in nomination men worthy of the support of
the Democracy of the County. 01 that Democracy
we are justly proud, as regards the positian it occu•
pies abroad, its numerical weight, the intelligence
of its mamba's, itA devotion to principle, and its in
tegrity in maintaining those principles under all
circumstances. To be honored with a nomination
by the Representatives of such a body is a mark of
confidence and esteem of which any man should
be eminently proud. The selections to be made,
we have no doubt, will be such its the Democracy
can and will readily endorse. Indeed, from the
names of gentlemen mentioned as likely to be
brought before t i e Coavention, it wilt be impossible
to form any other than a ticket which shall be an
honor to the party, and acceptable to the people.
The offices to be voted for this fail, are as fol
lows:—State—Canal Commissioner, Surveyor Gen
eral, Auditor General, Judge of the Supreme Court.
County—(to be nominated Tuesday evening) Sena
tor, Representative, County Commissioner, Tres.
surer, Surveyor, Prosecuting Attorney, and Auditor.

The information we have received is unofficial,
which probably accounts for the fact,thai aired-Sen
atorial conferees are reported as bein. selected by
the Democratic Convention of Wyoming; tor at the
that Conference held under the present Senatorial
apportionment, the following resolution was adop

11
Resolved, that Bradford County shall be entitled
Loftus members—Susquehanna to four—and Wyo.
mtng to fem.-in the future Senatorial Conferences
of this District.
It was unquestionably the province of that Con
ference to settle the basis of represents , ion in future
Conferences, and that Wyoming was most liberally
dealt with, both by Bradfotd and Sust,oehanna, is
apparent to every one who wilt take the trouble to
a.certain the relative population and number of
Democratic voiets iu each county. Bradford, in
the arrangement, consenting to be placed in a po
sition to be overruled and out-voted by Suckuehan

once of Democratic voters and of population.
We trust that in choosing three Conferees, in de
fiance of previous regulations, there has s been no
disposition on the part of Wyoming, to introduce
into the Conference a question which might possi
bly endanger the harmony and good-feeling which
now exists in the Democratic party, nor to disturb
the fraternal relations of the Counties composing the
Senatorial district ; but that through in advertence,
she has named•a larger number of Conferees than
she is entitled fo, and will promptly take such
.a
course as shall relieve any anxiety which may have
been raised by her action.
Collegiate Institut,.
The buildingdesigned fur the Collegiate institute,
has riven aln.ost as magically as the palaces of
Aladdin. The masonry was entirely completed
during the present week, and the other work is in
a state 01 forwardness The building already gives
some token of the addition it will be :o the archi
tectural beauty of the place. The site is one of the
most beautiful in the country, commanding a pros
pect unrivalled.
The corner, stone of the Institute was laid on the
4th of July, but the brick work was not fairly com •
menced until about the middle of the month, and
has proceeded • with unexampled rapidity. The
only magic employed however, has been in the
energy of the contractor Starry Ha Mtn, whose ex.
perience has enabled him to prosecute this work
to such speedy completion. The contract time for
finishing the building is the first day of January
next,and we understand that lithe subscriptions are
promptly paid, no delay as to the building will be
experienced.
The Institute will be an ornament to the place,
while its objects are most laudable, and its advan
tages will be felt by every one in the vicinity
Under such circorhatances there should be no hesi-,
ration in paying the subscriptions which have been
pledged for the work.
WHIG STATE CUE ENTION —Are odr readers gen ,
welly aware chat our Whig friends have been go
ing through the useless formality of holding a State
Convention, for the purpose of placing in nomina.
lion a candidate for Judge ol she Supreme Court, to
be beaten by burr C. Knox? Such is the fact—at
least if the Whig papers are to be believed. It
would be very agreeable to us to know how many
Northern counties were represented in this Conven
tion, which met at Huntingdon on the 25th ult., and
nominated on the third ballot Taost►r A Bum,
of Philadelphia. The Bulletin endorses him as a
ripe scholar, standing high at the Philadelphia bar.
All which we do not dispute, but a chilling blast
will blow down from these Northern regions, about
the eleventh of October neat, which will prevent
that Budd from ever blossoming.

TRIAL 07 THE CONDUCTOR Or THE NEW IiArEN
RAILROAD TRAlN.—Charles Comstock, a Conductor
of the NdW Haven Railroad Company, who had
charge of the t am, when it ran through the draw
at Norwalk, and caused so lamentable a loss 01 lif e ,
is on trial in the Fairfield County, Conn., Court tut
manslaugh er. The Judge in his charge iold tie
Jury they were the jud_es of the la and i4et i ae t,
in a criminal prosecuti r. anti they a ere not bound
to regard his uuruciton, to such matters. He
said
" I have been reone:ced to instinct yoc (oat nee
agent is not responsible for the act of i113 , •1h,r, and
that there is a difference between a civil action and
a criminal piosecist Mil, anal rirreil I IllatrUCl you is
the law The law will hull a paly civilly I able
when it will not hold him Cr initially respOrir.i' , l ,. .
The defendant claims that he H as in !be di-char : 2.e
of a lawful act, and that the proseco.ion mtho show
that he did some act tettilmg, .0 evince carelessness
and recklessness in conducting that Irani. Such Is
(belays; but=i tootler itikonct you, that if itiat train
was going at a dangerous rate of speed, and if yOO
beheire that it was the duty of tile conductor to
check it, and that he recklessly and careless'y ne
glected his duty in perm et ing lhat train to run mound
that curve at a dangerous rate of speed, 'bat would
be such a negligent act that it would be manslaugh
ter if death ensued."
The jury have as yet been unable to agree A
correspondent says the jurt , the exception u(
two or three, are in lavor a verdicCol acquittal. It
is hardly probable that they will agree at all in the
case, as they have made taro attempts without suc
cess. This was a case in w hich everybody de
nounced the conductor, as well as the engineer, as
" recklessly careless," yet the trial ends, as almost
all criminal prosecutions in such cases do, wi:h a
disagreement or an acquittal. The fact proves that
severe penalties against railroad agents ars not the
beet protection against accidents over the road
Civil snits (or damages are more effectual.
Frar..—A fire broke out on Saturday evening.
the 27th inst , about 10f o'clock, on the premise/.
of Geo J Pumpeily, E•q , at the foot 01 Maine et.,
which destroyed two barns filled with grain and
hay. The fire was no doubt the work of some
fiend in human shape. flue is the second time
Mr P. has had the same property destroyed by fire.
and both times has been set on fire. The contents
of the barn belonged equally to Mr Pumnelly
and Mr Shulenburgh, the latter gentleman worked
the premises on shares during the past season.—
We believe there was some' insurance.
P 5 We learn that there was a valuable bull
consumed with the barn Also, that the above
property was owned by George J and Frederick
Pompelly.—Ower S. T. Times.
ANOTHER BARN Buitrito.—A fire broke out tart
Monday evening in the barn of Mr. Charles Evans,
in Nichols, six modes from this village. We under.
stand there was nothing saved except the wagons
therein—the hay, grain, &c , were consumed. Lag.
81,000, insurance five hundred donors. The origin
of the fire is not•known at the present writing—sup
posed to be the work of an incendiary.—Ourego S
T . Times.
