dignified and responsible calling of
tavern keeper and he promises to make himself known in his new calling. He is shrewd. At the Centreville court the opposing lawyers each drew up a charge to the jury and handed them to the Judge for his selection, but he deliberately gave them both to the jury ßr them to select for themselves. At Newcastle the court met on Monday morning, but before proceeding to business, a member of the Henry co. Bar presented a petition, signed by every member of the bar in that court, asking, ra most respectful terms, his Honor to resign his seat upon the bench. The gentleman who presented the petition, stated however, that in caso he would not resign, the petition
ers had agreed among themselves that
they would not do any business in the court so long'as he presided. Another gentleman addressed the court, reasserting the determination they had greed to, and urged in very plain terms the necessity of a resignation. Another followed, expressing the high personal respect he entertained for the Judge as & gentleman and a tavern- ' keeper, but justice required him to say that he regarded the present incumbent of the bench as utterly unqualified for the place he occupied, and hoped be would resign. He was followed by another, and he by another, and he by another, until every member had in plain terms expressed his opinion as to his incapacity, dec, With a nonchalence, peculiar to his Honor, he told the gentlemen of the Bar that he would think of the matter, and in the mean time would proceed to business. He called the cases upon the docket, and every case which had not been compromised, was continued until the next term of the Court. Court was adjourned for dinner, and in the afternoon a petition signed by the jury was presented to the Judge, asking him to resign. His Honor asked time to consider, when the lawyers proposed to iim, that if he would agree in writing "never to come to that county again for the purpose of holding court, and would send tome one in his place, they wouU be content to drop the matter, so far as they were concerned, The
Judge again took the matter under advisement, and v are told, finally
promised never to come to that county
again for the purpose of holding court,
until he should be sent for, and would cither send some other judge to hold
the court, or permit the Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas, to hold court "tu his stead. So ended the matter for
.present.
So much for electing Judges on the strengths party.
BALZ 07 61 UDO 11. Wc cannot resist the temptation to give the readers of the American the following inciJent: Some of the students of the State University were suspected to be in the hahit of drinking brandy. Where they obtained it was a mystery. Dr. Daily determined to ferret out the secret. Calling into a small drug store the proprietor asked him how "that sick student, Mr. Carter, camb on?" Smelling a rat, the Dr. answered ii an evasive manner and soou drew out of the Apothecary the fact that the students under suspicion had been b the habit of purchasing brandy for a sick student by the name of Carter that they said he was quite low and was kept alive by stimulants thai the young gentlemen seemed very imch devoted to him. Now the secret was out. This Carter was a fictitious character and the Dr. had the secret. However he kept his own counsel. The next time the students assembled in chapel for prayers, he cast his eyes over the crowd and satisfied h.msclf that Carter's nurses were all present. The devotions were duly conducted and then he called the attention of the students, remarking that he had a mournful task to perform as President of the University it became his doty to announce the death of their fellow
student Mr. Carter. After a lingering illness of several weeks, a portion of which he was only lept alive by ttimulanls, he had breathed his last! He had no doubt this announcement would fall sadly on tht ears of those who had o faithfully attended to his wants, but he hoped they would bear it with resignation he hoped thty would reflect upon the oft repeated words "Memento mor." -that he would now no longer detain them but leave them to their own reflections! The result of this announcement was startling. None of the Professors and but few of the 6tudents had ever heard of Carter. "Who is he?" was whispered none knew, but the "kind friends who had attended him" and they woukl'nt tell, and the President seemed so deeply affected theydid'nt like to ask him.
In an hour or two the thing leaked
out,and Carter's kind friends were verv
much annoyed by enquiries as to the nature of his disease, the kind of stimulus employed, as to "whether he died in his right mind if so, did he leave any word for his mother?" and when did they intend to bury him? They consider themselves decidedly sold.
BAimaiTTfls max. A story is told of the late Judge Olin, of Vermont, father of President Olin, Uttt he was once presiding upon a certain occasion in court, when a waspish little lawyer, full of ignorance and conceit, who was pleading a caso before him, took occasion, in the course of his remarks, to address some very contemptuous language to the bench. Everyone in the eourt turned instinctively toward the judge, expecting a severe rebuke would at once be administered the insolent offender; but what was their surprise to seo the , judgo sitting with brow serene and unclouded, quietly making his notes, as if ho had net heard the language, or as if nothing out of the way had been uttered. After the adjournment, as most of the officers of the court met around the dinner table of the hotel, a friend asked the judge for an explanation of his strange forbearance why ho had taken no notice of one who so justly deserved to bo committed for contempt of court? "I'll tell you a story," said the judge, the quiet humor beaming from his tj the while: "my father nee had a dog a mere wiflfet of a thing that had a strango fashion of goiag utevery moonlight night and lurking furiously at the moon!" Here the judge paused and went on deliber
ately eating his dinner, as if ho had finished the story. "Well?"" Well?" said several voices "what of Mo" 'Ol nothing," said the judge: "Mtunoon
scant right on."

The Methodists on the Fairfield cir

in repairing the old parsonage and nearly making anew one out of it. Though the repairs will have cost probably 5300 it is but little when divided among so many. Now their preacher can feel at A omtt when he is
with his family, and he can feci cheerful and grateful when among his people. No wonder he is popular, and no
wonder he likes the people to whom he preaches.
COBKXCTXON. A report has been put in circulation
that the specimen ofdentistry on which

the premium on the year previous. Tltis is a mistake. It was an entirely
different piece of work. The first
specimen was on the ground, but it was

GLORIOUS HEWS rsojt aiAssicnrsnrs and Michigan::! The last hopo of the opposition in these sUUs has fled. In Michigan, the Supreme Court, which is composed of the eigtt circuit Judges, stood at first four fcr the law and four against it. The result of this would have been the enforcement of the law in four circuits and otherwise in the remaining four, as there was no power to reverse the decision of either. The rumitcs rejoiced over this as a great victory, thinking that half of the State was yet open to them. 2?ut the triumph of the wicked is short. One of the four who declared the iaw unconstitutional, on giving the subject a sober second thought, has reversed his opinion and agrees with the other four, that'll is constitutional &ni must be enforced. The Supreme court now stands FIVE TO THREE!! in favor of the law. All hail, young democratic Mich
igan. That is pure, unadulterated de
mocracy such as wc love.
'But, Massachusetts is erect also, we gave last week the triumphant vote in
the House, on the repeal of the Prohib
torv law. It is our privilege, this
ef ' week to record the fact that the Supreme court has sustained every section
of the law but the fourteenth, and the
law without th:it section is very strin
gent This section relates to seizure and confiscation, the things most dreaded by rum sellers. They care but little for a fine if they can only retain the means of renewing lieir busiucss.
On hearing the decision of the court, the rumsellers hastened away to the Commons and fired three hundred and sixty-five rounds of cannon by way of rejoicing over their victory. But the smoke of their guns htd hardly disappeared when, to their profound mortification, they discovered that the decision sustained the prijciplk of search, seizure, confiscation and destruction, and only condemned the s use the means of seizing the liquor was too summary. The legislature is already at work mending the section,
which can easily be done, and will be done no doubt before the adjournment. Poor creatures, they wish they had saved their thunder for a more signal victory. One more such a victory and tbey are undone for ever search, seizure, confiscation and destruction are constitutional in the old Bay State. LATER.

57The interest of R. II. Cullum
in the Franklin Mills, at Laurel, was sold on Tuesday last by the Marshal of Indiana, for 91400. It is an interest of one third. The value of the whole property is not less than S2o000. It was bid off by Mr. Cullum in the name of C. W. West, of Cincinnati. We learn that steps have been taken to set aside the sale, by other creditors. fX5Col. J. H. Lane, writes to the State Sentinel that he is opposed to the Nebraska bill, as it passed the Senate,
but does not say that he will vote for it in any 6hape. He wants the Homestead bill to pass the Senate, before he votes for it at all. The Col. will be sustained by his constituants in refusing to open that country to slavery, to the exclusion of poor laboring men. tlTQ. W. Haroitt, E.'itor of the Jacksonian, and Deputy U. S. Marshal, having official business in our town, gave us a call last Tuesday. It was hard to convince our imps that that was the 1 1 arge tt of the Jacksonian. He was altogether better looking than they had imagined, from the weekly account he gives of himself. OCT The Maine Legislature has before

NO. 2. It is a well settled fact, that water trsnsportation is the cheapest of nil
other hence the immense amount of
freights, and especially merchandize tliat seeks a transit from Xorth 4o South over the smooth waters of Lake Erie,
by the way of Buffalo to Cleveland and Sandusky, thence to the Ohio riv?r at Cincinnati by the Cleveland, Cclurabus & Little Miami ds Mad River & Dayton & Hamilton Railroads.
The amount of transportation across
tie Lake is annually increasing until tic shipments at Sandusky reached during the business parts of last season
60J tons per day. The distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati by Railroads is 255 miles; and from Sandusky to New Albany S76 miles; 21 miles additional distance by our road places you HOmnesdown the river from Cincinnati below the falls of the Ohio at the head of "un-
hterrupted" navigation, where the ' f rst class steamers ply at all seasons of tiie year, and in sight of the depot of .he great southern roads, terminating at Louisville. Ours is to be a great "through road" without interruption, change or break, from Lake to River; with choice at the falls of the roads reaching from Louisville away to the far south, and the majestic crsft that skim the waves of the Ohio. In transportation of freight both in cl eapness and speed, our road will successfully challenge competition; and for travel, none can afford such a variety of inducements. "Will it pay?" is the question on every tongue, to which the answer is ready yes! it will pay, and pay well, because it has not, jor cannot have a successful rival. The Roads from the Lake to Louisville, by way of Cincinnati, approximate as near as any can, as is plainly seen by examination of a map. It is 3G5 miles from Clcaveland to Louisville, by Cincinnati and the Newport and Louisville Road: C9 miles further than ours. It is 323 miles from Sandusky to Louisville, by Cincinnati and Newport, being 47 miles farther than ours. It has none west of us, nor can it have, because we arc on the line of the shortest possible land connection between the Ohio below the falls and the Lakes. It is unlike almost all other Roads now constructing, or in contemplation, in western Ohio and eastern Indiana; triuioutarival seeking: the same (testi

The Peru Papers publish tho detthof
a man from delirium tremens. How cruel! How little feeling they must have for the famlliea of the deceased. Trua enough the poor victim had staggered around for years, and every body knew he wat a drunkard, and nobody cared then for his family. Rut now that he can no longer cume them with his pres.
ence now that the work of death it
finished, everybody is horrified that the manner of his death should be made
public. We judge so, at least, from the
raitigalion we received a few weeks ago
in the doggeries of Brookville, for alledg
ing to the death of two of their victim
Irom this cause. While the poor men had money to get drunk with they cared
no more for the nuflerina wife and chil
dren than the wolf cares for the lamb he
feeds upon. Dut when their victims
died, it was cruel in the extreme to say
that they were killed by drinking. Noth
ing should then be said about it, or their
death should be attributed to a "visita
tion of God" or to a lingering illness."
Tut! We will tell the truth about it in
plain English if we know it. From

record the death of one of the murderers themselves from the same cause. lie

Besides the poison contained in the

oxyde of lead, the same which kills so
many painters, and paralyzes others. Lead foil is cheaper than tin foil, and some of those who put up tobacco for chewing, use the former instead of the lattr. Tho counterfeit may be known by its dark blue or bluish colour whereas tin foil is nearly white.

"Little boats should keep near the

motto, before we had so fairly launched upon the stormy sea of n newspaper warfare. To others, it may sccmprsumptuous, for a boy scarcely emerged from his teens, to make the first trial of his boat, in an engagement with so formidable a combatant, as the editor of the American he who 1ms dispensed the word of Lifo to thousands has harangued to temperance musses by scores with hi "pleasantry," has sated the voracious appetite of thousands of readers nnd who now seeks to make his fame and renown complete in a content with a school boy.

not regarj his former article as ho manifestly did at first. Here is something manly. It is manly to seek redress in the paper that gives tho offence, and to do it too, over his own name. That the young man is yet laboring under some slight misapprehensions, will
appear from the fallowing answers to his
highly important questions. It seems
like a pity, too, to take the wind out of his sails, particularly, since he is desi
rous of returning to port "without a bro-
en mast, or even a torn sail," but justice to him demauds it.
