Scarlet fever is prevailing extensively among the colored population of Lou isville. Nearly three hundred manufactories and workshops were put up in New York City last year. German emigration to America prom ises to be unprecedentedly heavy this season. 7,000 persons left there in dene week. The Gonrt of Sessions in New York city is self sustaining.

The storm on Thursday, last week, washed away the bridge of the York River Railroad, throwing three cars down an embankment. Nobody was hurt. The road is in running order. -In Milwaukee, last year, one-third more new buildings were erected than in Chicago. While only eleven miles of water pipe were laid in Chicago, forty- seven miles of additional pipe were laid in Milwaukee. A t this rate of progress, Milwaukee will soon be far ahead. A Canadian wedding was recently enlivened by the spectacle of the great- great-grand-mother of the bridegroom dancing a jig vigorously. The latest gift enterprise scheme is one lately started in Buffalo, the follow ing being a copy of the ticket: “Ruffle for the wife of Thomas Beyle, a t Woll’s Hall, Conrt- street, on Monday, March 22, 1868.

The rope was cat by £ by-stander, but the boy was dead. C O R R E S P O N D E N C E . J effersonville , April 20th, 1868. F rifnd M organs : Your last issue contains a communication from “Boy,” in which it appears that “ Boy” has ar rived a t the boyish conclusion that he himself must represent this place, for the reason that “Jeffersonville is not represented as it should be” That is all very well, and if “ Boy” had confiued himself to legitimate representation, and could have refrained from making person al jlivgs, the probability is, that the good people of this place would have made no objections to being represented by a “Boy” even though he was self elected, solely upon his own exalted opinions of himself. The communication referred to may be entirely the production of the fertile brain of the “ Boy,” but it reads to fis very much like a jo in t e ffort of the “ Old Man” and the “ Boy” to give a “prom inent man” a cowardly punch in the back, and then skulk behind “ Boy” to wait the effect of their pusillanimous tacET ITT a n f correct, ey no donbi feel a consciousness, of having discharg ed their duty to their constitutents, in representing Jeffersonville as it should be, and feel well paid for their extraor dinary effort in so doing. One suggestion to “Old Man” and “Boy:” “People who live in glass hous es, should be very careful how they throw stones.” * ♦» ------ The following is from a city paper: Arrangements have been made to have the four armies of the Tennessee, The Cumberland, the Ohio, and of Georgia meet at Chicago on the I5th and 16 of December next, to have one common celebration, instead of having separate meetings as heretofore. As soon as certain arrangements are com pleted at Chicago, the official annouoce- will be made. A splendid arrangement! The sol diers that were on the march from Ra leigh to Washington under Generals Mower and Davis, would know how to appreciate the announcement. Officers on horses, men on foot. Who wouldn’t be a soldier in time of peace ? Several letters to the Record are un avoidably crowded out this week for want of space. The track of the Union-Pacific R ail road has been laid on the top of the Rocky Mountains. Local News.
