Hon. Edward Pierpont, of New York, has bee'll appoin ed to succeed AUorney-Qener.il Williams. The Lafayette Courier says he is eminently qualified for the poa.tion and will enjoy the confidence r.f intelligent people of both parties. It is evident that he will give very general satisfaction. W« present to the readers of the Rxpubucam, this week, an ably written and interesting article on the Chicago A South Atlantic Railroad, taken from the columns of the Rensselaer Union. The genial Prosecutor, S'P. Thompson, is all 0. K. at the Summit House. The landlord, however, finds it difficult to supply Simon with all the grub he waste. —Fowler Herald. A Hbel suit is now in order. My stock of men’s shoes and ladies’ fine shoes and gaiters being very large, I have concluded to reduce it, if low prices for cash will do so. See the quality for price before buying. LUDD HOPKINS. The Fowler Herald, of last week, says : “Hon £. S. Dwiggius discharged his duties as Judge pro-tempore in an able and acceptable manner. Since the arrival of Judge Hammond, Mr Dwiggina ha* been busily engegtd at bis duties as attorney.” This from the Lowell Star: “A letter from lion. W. S. Haymond, President of the Chicago and South Atlantic railroad, to M. A. Ualsicad, Esq., says that the laying of iron on the new railroad must commence next month at all hazards. We, ibr one, feel good over that piece of news. The corporation election passed off very quietly, last Monday, and we understand an uausualiy small rite was cast. Ths follow ing named gentle met were the successful candidate* for the several town officbes: Sylvester Haley, Dr. J. H. Lougbridge, Ira W. Yeoman, W. J. Norris and J. D. Hopkins, were elected as town trustees ; Ludd Hopkins, treasurer, and N. W. Reeve, clerk and asecasor. Marshal is to be elected by the trustees at their first regular mooting.

nr hunks. A patent windmill adorns the site of the artesian “bore.” Stormy weather has interfered with spring work, and not much corn planted as yet. Our fellow townsman in distrass, P. B. Lyon, retuned from his wedding tour last Saturday night. The Record office plumes itself on a new flight of stairs “dona up” in twenty minutes by the watch. With one exception, the old Town Board was re-elected. Ibe majority vote on school house was for the edifice. Not even a dog fight this week; but Butler still rides Abdallah with tar on the side of his pants to keep from sliding off the new saddle, $7,000.47 is the price of the animal, this week, with an upward tendency. Fast horses are raging here now. There are several that can make a mile—no one knows how quick, for nobody has as yet been found with patience to wait long enough for them to trot* mile and time them, sud then there are no watches hers but what will run down in less than 48 hours. 1 was mistaken in my last in r eg»rd to the removal of our respected doggery keeper to Wolcott. The rumor now is that a yong female in the country “loved him, not wisely, but too well;” and now, Thomas is non eat comatibus, or else he is off somewhere looking for a marriage license. The boys undertook tp charivari Basel when he was married, but it was rather h failure. Esq. Jeffries was one of the guests, and he came out to the boys and commanded peace in the name of the State of Indiana and the defunct Continental Railway. Didn’t the boys leg it 7 Oh no 11 guess not. Now comes Al. J. Kitt with a pair of dumb* oells fur jumping weights, supposed to weigh 1,900 pounds. With these Bro. Kitt propoeea to jump 17 feet on a level. That being the case, how far can he jump without being weighted down 7 I have heard, that without weights, Mid in his stocking foot, he can jump four miles. Wonder if it is so 7 It is not in my Use to apologise, but I fear 1 shall have to now, or else there will be pistols uid coffee for two. No; I will do better—l will deny tbewhole thing; I never compared Hood’s j&ckrabbit to the Good Templars. That was the work of the J aspxk Republican devil. Is your devil a big fellowT If Ito, how will I pacify hint 7 (Heis a tolerably fair sised boy.—Give him a “chaw tabeoker.”— Km)

Persona having a liking for curiosities can can find themat Dr. Loughridge’sr office. He has a fine collection of bones, stones, and many other article*, This is not an advertisement. A few deluded souls who are as full of hope as an egg is of meat, even when circumstances do not warrant it, are beginning to predict that the Beecher trial may poaaiply end “some time er nuttier.” The largest stock of dry goods, notions, clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps, Ac. ever brought to this market, at Willey A Sigler’s, at prices to meet the sharpest competition.

Tell me ye winged winds that round my pathway howl and roar— Is thore no place in all the land where printing can be had cheaper than heretofore 7 The wild gale bated and sank to a g entle breeze, that scarcely caused a flap of the loose (sign) boards, and sighed as heavenly a sigh as a lovelorn maiden, and sweetly answered—while 1 held my breath to catch t£e sound—"yes I at the Rspubucav office." A mean man is dead. A man whose dying boors are rejoiced in by all patriots ; whose soul deserves not punishment and existence, butannihilation, has blessed the world by leaving it, George W. Gayle, a lawyer of Alabama, is the indvidnal. . He is the party who offered $1,000,000 reward for the assassination of President Lincoln, through a Southern sheet.
