KI IRRHP HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —On the
: t as Sheriff Young, of Montour county
rowing Washington hill, on his way to
; Grille, about 9 o'clock at night, an Irish
seiied his bridle rein and demanded his
I 5 v stating that he was poor, and stood in
: of it. The Sheriff very indifferenty stat-
that was his object, he would be glad to
" vallate hira ; but instead of money, he
-j ted a "six-shooter," which he bad loaded
and, aiming at the rascal's head,
■ k , j the trigger, but it unfortunately missed
t [, e scamp, supposing it then to be harrn
: proceeded to cut reins, and had nearly
: f ! f eded, when the Sheriff fired a second time,
arging the contents, but with wliat effect
'X unable to tell, as the villain took to his
god scampered off through the woods.
-' reins were nearly severed in two or three
but the Sheriff was ignorant of the fact
jjl he arrived at home. This is the second
? effipt of the kind at neighborhood, as the
[ -* aut v School Superintendent, Mr. Putnam,
attacked, in a similar manner, a short time
CATASTROPHE. — Eight Persons Burn

JOBBISO TIIE MAII.S.—A driver of the mail

Bainbridge, Chenango county, by the name

"nara Advertiser.
Friday noon an accident of the
-.{distressing character occurred at the Na
Mai Circus, in Philadelphia A young miss,
no wss acquainted with several of the ladies
•.he establishment, surreptitiously worked her
nj into the apartmeuts wherein the wild ani-
were confined in cages. After (according
jerown statement,) she had caressed sev
■ai of the beasts, she attempted to pet the
r. which sprang upon her, and endeavored
viraw her into the cage. Iler screams drew
j* attention of the keepers, who conquered
-animal, and rescued her from his fangs
;:e was immediately taken to the hospital,
'.ere the physicians did everything which Ini
quity or science could suggest. The sufferer,
:o is a heroine, acquits the management of
blame or neglect in the premises. We have
mied,since writing the above, that the young
iljs arm had to be amputated, iu order to
ire her life.
COL. FORN EY'S POSITION —The Philadelphia
cos defines its position with regard to the
sit Presidency. It thinks a " masterly inac
my "the true policy at this time. After
rizing Mr. Douglas, and remarking that
he can be elevated to no eminence higher
tan that which he now occupies, if he shall
ied steadily by his own declarations, even if
be the Presidency itself," the editor adds :
But wheu we behold the extraordinory
urtriaes boldly broached at Washington,
to the consolidation of enormous power
the hands of a single individual ; wheH we
"conventions enptured, public men debauch
premiums offered for treason by the small
frpots who have reached power simply to be
V it, we should neither be just to our our
'es nor to Judge Douglas, nor to any other
in who may aspire to the Presidency, by
emitting this journal to the exclu-ive cham
..-bip of any special candidate."
THE CUBA QUESTION*. We learn from
■iiington that the Democrats of the Senate
tfe determined to bring on a discussion of
.a, and, if it begins in earnest, at least a
pek will be consumed, and perhaps the de
ne may run till the last hour. The country
wld observe that this issue is thus forced
-M the Senate by the majority when the
' wurv is empty, the government is unable to
its debts, and the revenue is not much
I 'e than half the expenditures. To make
fiiitical capital merely, every great interest is
and the public credit allowed
be dishonored that demagogues may ti<>tir-
The day of reckoning is coming, and an
■Riant country will soon remove the last
*'bee of a party from power which has bank
"•><l the treasury,spread ruin broadcast, and
imaged the country in the estimation of the
•arid.
THEGOCLDY FAMILY. —We learn that this
b supposed to be fatally wounded by an
- ated son and brother, who nfterwards
Tiitted suicide, have all recovered, except
' u nt girl, who died immediately after the
'•v scene was prepetrated.
