A PROOF THAT A MAN CAN BE HIS OWN
GRANDFATHER -- There was a widow and her daughter-in-law, and a man and his
son. The widow married the son, and the daughter the old gentleman. The
widow was therefore mother to her husband's father, and consequently
grandmother to her own husband. They had a son to whom she was
great-grandmother; now as the son of a great-grandmother must be either a
grandfather or great-uncle, this boy was one or the other. He was his own
grandfather. This was the case with a boy at school at Norwich -- Hood's
Magazine.

On the 1st inst., at his residence
in Penfield, Major Caleb NYE, in the 75th year of his age.
The
deceased was one of the early Pioneers of the Genesee; he settled in the
town of Pittsford 38 years ago, where he lived to see the fertile villages
and cities take the place of the howling wilderness; at which place he
resided up to the spring of 1833, when he removed to his late residence in
Penfield. During the late war, he was called upon to serve his country by
rai_ing a company, marching to Lewiston, and at different posts along the
line of our frontier, and was at the mouth of the Genesee River when the
British fleet made its appearance there, where they remained under arms one
night, expecting every moment that the enemy would attempt a landing; in the
morning the brig fired a few guns (one of the balls striking within a few
feet of the deceased), then hoisted their sails and moved off.
Major NYE
has been an active member in the Baptist Church for over 40 years, and by
his Christian character and benevolence has left a numerous family, and a
large circle of friends to mourn his absence.

ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY -- On Tuesday
night last, about 12 o'clock, an individual attempted to make his way into
the shoe store of S. Y. ALLING, corner of Water and Main streets, by picking
the lock of the front door. He was observed by Watchman WALTZER, who
attempted to arrest him, when he was struck in the breast by the
burglar, and nearly felled to the ground. He immediately gave the alarm, but
the villain escaped. The Watchman was considerably injured, so much so that
it was found necessary to call a physician.

SUICIDE - Isaac LATTER, a shoe
maker residing on Scio street, committed suicide on Tuesday afternoon, by
hanging himself in a shed attached to his premises. He had been in ill
health a long time, and being scarcely able by hard labor to earn a living,
it is supposed that melancholy and destitution caused the rash act. He was
67 years of age.

DARING BURGLARY AND BRUTAL CONDUCT
OF THE BURGLARS
On Sunday night last the dwelling
house of Mr. Jas. WELDEN, No. 27, Ferry street, was the scene of one of the
grossest outrages which has ever come to our knowledge. It appears that Mr.
W. left that evening in the boat for New York, and that the perpetrator of
the deed must have been acquainted with the fact. During the night Mrs. W.
was awakened by a noise in the street, and on opening the window heard the voices
of two persons in conversation, one of whom said, "I know WELDEN
has got money."
Notwithstanding her fear, she picked up a cane, and going down stairs opened
the door leading into the parlor, when she stood confronted by a man, whom
she struck with the cane, and then, overcome with fear, she fell fainting to
the floor. On recovering her senses, she found the daring scoundrel standing
over her, demanding her husband's money, which he said he knew was in
the house. This she denied, and replied to him that all that was in the
house she had in her pocket -- a five dollar gold piece and a half dollar in
silver, which she gave to him.
After
again demanding her husband's money, he seized her by the hair, and dragging
her to the back door, drew a knife from his pocket and thrust it at her
twice, each time picking her slightly in the breast, and threatening to cut
her throat if she made a noise, he then fled. She does not think she can
recognize the man, as she was so terror stricken that she was nearly without
reason. The above facts are as near correct as can be ascertained, and
present one of the most diabolical and bold burglaries ever recorded. That a
regularly organized gang exists in this city no one can doubt, and that some
efficient measures should be equally as certain. After the occurrence
just related, we really hope something will be done, and that speedily --

CURIOUS ADVENTURE - Truth, they
say, is stranger than fiction. The Glascow, Missouri News states that a
French settler, many years ago, left his wife children to struggle with the
world while he sought his fortune in foreign parts. For several years, the
wife and daughter awaited his return, till even affection compelled them to
think him dead. They struggled along in poverty until the daughter grew to
womanhood and married, as did also the mother -- both of them remaining in straitened
circumstances. Last week, however, an old grey-headed man went to the humble
dwelling of the daughter, and, after surveying her with deep emotion for a
few minutes, said, "Do you know the name of your father?" to
which she replied by giving it. "Then," said he,
"I am your father!" After their mutual greetings, he brought in
two bags of gold, containing $40,000, and offered her husband the best farm
he could find in the neighborhood. He knew his daughter by a scar on her
forehead from a wound received when a child. It is not stated what
arrangements were made with his wife.

SHOCKING DEATH - The Rev. W. H.
HORSEN of Chatham, Canada West, was, says the Buffalo Com. Advertiser,
recently found dead under the most shocking circumstances. He started to
walk up the bank of Detroit river to see a friend, got bewildered in an
extensive marsh in which he wandered until he died. He was found lying upon
his face, and from the appearance of his clothes he must have wandered many
miles about the marsh. He was seen on Monday, but his body was not found
until Thursday. He was highly esteemed, and a very useful man.

A MAN ON FIRE - During the
thunder shower on Sunday evening, the lightning performed a very
remarkable exploit in Rutland. The facts, as we have them from Mr. J. G.
KENDALL, of this city, are that a Frenchman in the service of a Mr.
FLECTHER, of Rutland, having occasion to be out during the shower, was
struck by a shaft of lightning, knocked down, and severely stunned. After
the lapse of a little time, the man recovered his senses, and found his
way to the house, where it was discovered that his face was blistered and
one of his pockets on fire. It was a most remarkable escape. --(Worcester
