BAKER. The retiring gentleman has, we believe, discharged his duty to meet the approval of the entire (?????) and
elicited from the late Board of Supervisor: (unreadable) of confidence and esteem. ???? is all any public officer
can expect and more than many who are worthy obtain. Mr. BAKER is a man competent to the duty he has to perform,
and we hope he may be as fortunate in retiring as his predecessor.

FUNERAL OF J. M. BRUFF - The funeral of our esteemed townsman, James M. BRUFF,
will take place to-morrow, and will be an occasion of more than ordinary
interest and solemnity. The Masonic Order will take charge of the ceremonies,
and the members will appear in regalia, attended by Scott's Band. It will be
seen by a notice in our advertising columns, that the Masons will meet at
Masonic Hall at half-past eight o'clock A. M., and thence proceed in a body to
the house on Andrews street, and with the body go to St. Luke's Church, where
the funeral services are to take place, commencing at ten o'clock.
The remains will be taken to Mount Hope Cemetery for
interment, and in addition to the Masonic procession on foot, we hear that a
large number of young men intend to follow in the procession, as a tribute of
esteem to the dead.
We regret to state that Colonel JONES, father-in-law
of deceased, has been quite ill for some time -- so much so as to be unable to
leave his room, but lately he has been improving, and we hope to see him ere
long about in his accustomed health. He contracted a disease at the National
Hotel, Washington, where so many were poisoned, and it will take some time to
eradicate the evil.

ACCIDENT ON THE RAILROAD - on Wednesday night the 11 o'clock mail train for
Buffalo ran against a man at Field's Crossing, two miles west of this city and
injured him severely. The name of the unfortunate individual is William
KILPATRICK, and he resides in Irondequoit. He was going or had been to visit
his nephew, who tends the Field's Crossing. His horse was hitched near the
railroad and he started to cross just as the train came up. The engineer did
not see the man until the locomotive struck him, and then he was uncertain
what he had thrown from the track, but to be sure he stopped the train and
backed up. The injured man was found besides the track with a severe wound
upon his head, and his injuries are so great that his recovery is doubtful. He
was alive, however, last night.
A gentleman who saw the sufferer last night informs
us that he came out of the house where his nephew lives, and fell upon the
track - the door of the house being close beside, or as near the track as it
could be and clear the cars. He is a man about forty-five years old.
