Grant and several members of the cabinet. The fla gs in that city, and in mauy cities throughout tho country wore displayed at half mast, as a token of respect to the deceased. Johs G.

Judgo Nelson, a native of New York, was born in 1702. From 1823 to 1831 he was a Judge of the Circuit Court ; from 1831 to 1838 a Judge of tho Supreme Court of the State, and during the last named year became Chief Justice. He was ap pointed a Justice of the Supreme Court, in 1845 by President Tyler. The President accepted tho resignation and appointed Ward Hunt, of New York, hi Judge Nelson's successor. Tne Hon. Ciiaiu.es Sumner, ten years ago, in the Senate, offered the following resolution, upon which no action was taken; Resolved, That ii) the efforts now making for the restoration of the Union, and the establishment of peace throughout the country, it is inexpedient that the names of the victories obtained over our icllow-cit-izens should be placed on the regimental colors of the United States. t'ongre$ tional Olobe, May 8(t, 1862.

Hostage; Bolow will be found an abstract of the message which was read to congress on Monday of last week. . ... i The President commences his message by a reference to the recent calamity which visited Boston. Ho then refers to the ar bitration betweon this country and Eng land, and express his satisfaction at the settlement of our difficulties, and calls at tention to the necessity of Congress making some arrangement for the distribution of the money awarded. He then recommends legislation to carry into operation the ar ticles of the Treaty of Washington rotating to the fisheries ; the extension of aid to American exhibitors at the Vienna Expo sition ; a special appropriation to. enable the commissioners appointed to inquire into the depredations on the Texan frontier to complete their labors ; legislation to dis courage American citizens from owning slaves in Cuba ; an appropriation for the support of American youth in China and Japan whilst acquiring the language and becoming acquainted with the customs of those countries ; tbo creation of a commis sion to examine into the question of trans portation, and to report to Congress as an aid to that body in legislating on the sub ject ; the increase and strengthening of the navy; the abolition ef the franking privi lege ; a committee to ascertain the best means of Government acquiring the prop erty now belonging to private corporations, and of establishing a postal telegraphic service ; liberal contracts with steamship companies for carrying the mails, so as to revive our carrying trade ; the enumera tion of the population of the country in 1875 ; the revision of the laws of the Ter ritory of Utah, and such legislation as will bring about the extinction therein of " the twin relic of barbarism ;" the extension of aid to the District of Columbia ; a generous support of the scheme for tho celebration of tho Centenary of Amorican Liberty ; the continuance of the civil-service reform rules, and tho application of the proceeds of the sales of public lands to educational purposes. Drugged on the Cars. Tho Hartford Times says: On Wednes day last a New York gentleman took the cars for the purpose of visiting some friends in Meriden. He stopped over at Norfolk and took the afternoon train. As he en tered the cars a woman rose from her seat and took one directly in front. Her male companion offered the vacant seat to the New Yorker, who acoepted of it. Soon after the man asked the woman for "that bottle of sherry," which she handed bim, and he took a drink, returning the bottle to the woman. Then apologizing for not having asked the gentleman beside him to drink, ho asked for the bottle again. The New Yorker at first refused to drink, but on being pressed by the woman he did so, and almost immediately fell into a pro found sleep. When the conductor came around he tried in vain to awake the man, and at New Haven had him removed to a hotel where he remained unconscious until two o'clock Thursday morning. lie awoke to find that he had been drugged and robbed of $35 and a new overcoat. No trace of tho man and woman have yet been found. tW Wednesday Morning as we learn from the Pittsburg Commercial two pris soners confined in the Western Penitentiary effected their escape from the institution. One was John Carmichael nnd the othor Luke Rush. The former was convicted of manslaughter, having murdered a man on the South Side, and was sentenced to the penitentiary for six years and six months. He was received in the institution on the 28th of February, of the present year. Rush was received from Armstrongjcounty, in April last, having been sentenced to six years imprisonment on two charges of lar ceny. The men occupied the same cell, and were employed at carpet weaving. The loom they used was in their cell and took up about one-half of it. The rest of the cell, with the exception of a small passage way, was devoted to the prisoner's beds. During the night, indeed many nights, they had pioceeded to cut through the stone floor, and then found that an excavation of ten feet existed below. At the, bottom of this they commenced to dig toward Sher man avenue, and after great labor, com pleted a tunnel to the avenuej" a distance of forty foet, striking daylight, on Wednes day morning, just in ttie gutter. Since their escape they have not been heard of. Curious Incideut of the Boston Fire. A rather curious contribution to the in cidents of the late Boston fire has just come to light. In one of the stores of the burnt district the porter with the keys of the safe was on hand and perceived that the fire was rapidly approaching. In bis terror he rushed to and fro in the counting-room, and at last caught up the plated ice-pitcher full of water, locked it in the safe and de parted from the burning building in the proud consciousness that be had accom plished something to save bis employer's property. When, however, the safe was taken from the ruins, it was found that the books were uninjured. The beat which would otherwise have charred and destroyed the books only converted the water into steam. At the last advices steam safes are under advisement as the last Boston "notion." " ' Delaware's Whipping Post. ' I The Wilmington Commercial of Tuesday says: Three more unfor tunates, rashly im portunate of law and justice were yoked, tied up, and whipped In the jail-yard nt Now Castlo on Monday. ' Tbey are all white men, are said to be Germans, and, it is alleged, oame from Philadelphia, where the Daypaper,) which admires the whipping post is still pub lished. They were arrested in this city, a few months ago with tools in their posses sion stolon from a marble yard, under cir cumstances which induced the belief that thoy were about to break into the banking house of the Wilmington Saving Fund, at Eighth and Market streets. ' It is probably safe to say that no three men, charged with an offence were ever the objects of more sympathy from the crowed in the jail yard, especially in the case of George Howard. He is quite a young and respeotable-looking porson, whom no one present yesterday seemed to believe guilty of the charges against him. The pilloring was done in the forenoon, when Lewis Steine and Fredrick Hecht were placed in the " stocks" together, and wore thus tortured for one hour. After these two were taken down, young Howard was taken up. While in the pillory he firmly declared his innocence to tho crowd, and said he belonged to the three .secret Orders, and if thoro are any members who see me here, they should bo merciful. The Court showed no mercy." Shortly after 2 o'clock in the afternoon Steine was ironed to the post, and received twenty lashes. Tho whipping in this case as in the two following, was done in as hu mane a ' manner as possible, yet severe enough to raise red welts and draw the blood to the skin at every stroke. Lowis was then returned to the jail to stay two years. Frederick Hecht was next fastened up. He told tho shoriff that it was unnecessary to iron him to the post, as he would stand astill. Ho was ironed, however, but his suspenders were not taken off, which prob ably lightened the severity of the " cat !" Howard was the third and last case for the day. Without a groan or a motion of the muscle cord, he stood to the post, and received his twenty lashes, very lightly laid on, but owing to the extreme tenderness of the skin, every blow of the lash loft its marks in red " welts." Stealing from the Dead. Tho watch and pocket-book of Jacob Bowser, one of the victims of the accident on the II. & B. T. railroad on the 1st of November, could not bo found after the ac cident. On the 20th ult. the watch was discovered on the person of a young man employed atone of the ore banks at Bloody Run. He had traded an overcoat for it on the previous Saturday, to a man by the name of Stuart, who alleges that ho met an unknown man on the rairoad near the wreck and traded for the watch. Stuart lives at Carlisle, but was one of the repair gang at the time of the accident. Tho watch has been given to Mrs. Bowser. tSTLost Thursday a week Peter Glenner, a young man of Lewistown, went out hunt ing, and whilo attempting to chase a rab bit out of a rail heap with a guu that was cocked, by pounding it on the rails, the gun was accidentally discharged, and the contents entered his forehead. Ho lived two hours after the occurrence. tST Two mice were recently caught at Belfast, Me., in a curious manner. As in the old fable, they crept into a bottle which lay on its side, partook so heartily of the seductive contents that they couldn't get out, and were captured. ORGANS L ORGANS!
