Sandusky City, Ofato, to some point on the Ohio River in In diana, assembled at the Court House, and on tnotion of R H, Swift Esq. Hon. A. B. Line was Chosen Chairman of the meeting;.

Adams and several others, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, the construction of the proposed Railway, commencing at Sandusky City, on the Lakes, and running in a Southwest direction to Lonisville, at the Falls of the Ohio, would 4argely enhance tha value of the real estate along its entire length, as welt aa give life and energy to the inhabitants of the different lo calities on its -tine.? "-" v " ' ' ' And whereas, the peonle of Franklin Count have a large interest ia the construction of said Kail way, by being situated upon the line of said proposed road. " therefore be it Resolved, That it is the unanimous expression o.f the people of said County that this road must and shall be built. Kesolved, that the effort be made to secure a subscription in tbia County, equal to the amount apportioned la her, for the purpose of orgauisins a. t;Uiu(mii; wider the laws of the State, and that subscription papers looking o the accomplishment of that object be immediately circulated.

The lecture on Friday evening in the College Chapel by Capt. George Kennan, on the subject, "Siberia nnJ Kamtchatka," was delivered before an appreciative audience, and was a decidedly literary treat. Though apparently quite a young man, Mr. Kennan ranks among the moat popular lecturers of the day. This lecture was delivered in Cincinnati and also twice repeated in that ciy. we reproauce a ejnopsis by a city cotetnporary : li i! lecture was by far the most interesting and entertaining if ihe reason. His experiences hare been of the most novel and thrilling character, and in a country and amorg a people hitherto luist wholly unknown to civilized man. In this country and among this people he spent thrtre years, and has hronght back tiih him a storo of adventures and information as interesting and valuable as any which lt.iytrd Taylor acquired in his wanderings, and which, it is not too much to say, ha tells ia a far mora entertaining manner. He has a tine command of language, his rtyle is vcrv graphic, and hi dolivary easy and pleasant. Besides this, he has an eye wide open fur the ridiculous, and a w.in of genuine humor runs through the whole lecture, enlivening the narrative ia the most delightful m inner. And some of his word pictures were wonderfully vivid. ,ils descnpti n of the search for an exploring party lost in the snow undertaken on the faJth f , ,le of a 5,vrir,e ,ol. by the natives, the perils of the j..urney. with the mercury at 53 desrees below n-ro, nd the successful issue of the e cfc m(nIght't ju,t tb)J suekcrs coulJ no father and were preparing for a battle far lii'e with he terrible c.1.1, was thrilling in the extreme. His description of tne tirst grand aurora which the party beheld was another splendid piece of painting, and brought the glorious scene as vividly lu-fore tha ge of his audience as Vesuvius is beforo the spectator in Bierstadt's inag nili ent painting. His Hie among the wandering Koraks afforded hiiu material for many interesting and amusing anecdotes and descriptions, of which we give a few specimens: The religion of the Koraks, be said, was little more than the worship of the spirit of evil. The Hood Spirit, with them, is a weak, inefficient being, with only a kind cf passive virtue. But the evil spirit is full of energy and power. When any misfortune overtakes the tribe, the priests are directed to inquire the c.iu.-e of the evil one's displeasure. The priefts g through an incantation scene somewhat like those uT the howling dvishes, at tho end of which they announce the cause of the wrath which has fallen on the tribe, and prescribe the sacrifice, usually a reindeei, or a number of dogs. But the devout Koraks are not always disposed to take the priests' word for it, aad if the answer does not suit them they seize the priests and belabor them soundly. If the priests skew no signs of (fering, the genuineness cf the message is established. If they howl with pain, they are lying priests, and are sent back to try It over. Tho national dish of the Koraks is made of blood, tallow, and the contents of a reindeer's stomach, taken out after it has been killed, mixed with a peculiar kind of long grass and boiled up into a dark colored pudding. When a Korak becomes old, infirm, or hopelessly sick, he is murdered by his relatives, generally by impaling him on a spear or crushing his head with a stone. They all lo-'k forward to such a death as the natural end of their existence, and meet it with pcrfeet composure. Althcach ardent spirits are unknown among them they contrive to get drunk en mushrooms. Those, if eaten in large quantities, are a deadly narcotic poison. Hat tl taken in small doses tbey produce cenuine intoxication, and are much indulged in by the natives, notwithstanding the elTorts ol the Russian Uovernment to suppress the use. The Koraks are exceedingly atheltic and well proportioned, and maav of them more than six feet in height, and are a very honest, honorable, hospitable people. They entertain a profound veneration for Americans, and the lecturer toenu, in barren districts where probably no foreigner had ever penetrated before, American pictorials In one tent was pasted against the wall a picture of Major Gen. l)ix, taken from an illustrated magaxins, and the General was worshipped as a saint. Thus every morning a doien natives, who had never before seen an American, said their prayers to an American Major General, and Gen. I)ix enjoyed the distinguished honor of being Minister of the United States at Paris aad cf being eanonited in Siberia at ths same time. Bat no extracts can convey any adequate idea of the value and interest of the lecture. Read the communication from 'Springfield,' in this week's paper. n. It.

( At the time of her death she was a meiaber of the Presbyteri in XJhiirch in Braakvillo. She died having no fear of the dark valley aad shadow of death, for her trust was in tha Lord who saves. "Blessed are the deal who dia in tha Lord." "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so the n also who steep in Jesus will God bring with Him." - - " W. Ai U. ' Process of Distillation. Corn meal, coarsely ground, is scalded at a temperature to fully develop the starch or saccharine matter. A due proportion cf the meat of small grain and malt having beea added, the mass is violently stirred until cooled to the tern- ! perature desired, when yeast is introduced. Then all is run off quickly into fermenting tubs, which are tho lare vats located near every still-house.' In these tubs the mixture'of meals undergoes a vinous fermentation, whereby the saccharine is changed into ethyl or alcohol.' As tbe fermenta tion progresses, the change continues until all the saccharine is crowded into ethyl. The time required for this complete transformation varies, but ordinarily it is from sixty to seventy-two j hours. When the saccharino is all thus converted, tbe beer, as the liquid is then called, goes to the still, whose only province is to mechanically , separate the ethjl by the sgency of heat, evap- i orating it at a lower temperature than water. The ethyl thus evaporated is condensed in the Worm, which passes through cold water and deliver the product in the form of whisky or highwines. The residue is run off as slop, and is fed to stock. " . " ' ! The Sleeping Bads. ' The buds have been sleeping, and their nighf of rest is nearly passed. They will soon awake to life and boauty. Already people are curious to know how many of those that last fall promised fruit hare died iu their beds. Examinations thus far show that more are still alive than can be nurtured to fair proportions and luxurious quality. Some lady his beea poetising on the sleeping bads, and it may not be too late to quote: ' Bat now the buds are slumbering. . Little they care for the wild winds which rock fieir airy cradles, or sing them eolian lullabies. The rainbowed icicle may be pendant from their tips, or the snow wrap tbem in its soft embrace. They know nothing about it, but exist in a semi -oblivious condition between the past and the future, deriving strength from their former life and looking with bright hipe to that which is to come. While they are thus reposing, it may bo we are taking undue liberty in gtsing up n the sleeping beauties. If so, we offer the a full satisfaction. If any of them are so fortun ate as to produce Rhode Island greenings and Pomona grant they may we hereby accord them free permission to throw their offsprings at our heads, if, perchanca, wa unwarily stroll within our orchard. How to Stop a Paper. The following, from one of our exohanges, so fully and clearly expresses our views upon tbe subject, that we eopy it without comment! : Ton have an undoubted right to stip a newspaper whenever you are disposed, upon payment of all arrearages. Do not hesitate to do so on aieount of any "tenderness of fssling" for the editor. Don't you suppose he would stop buying sugar of you, or meat, clothing, dry goods, Ac., if he thought he was not getting his money's worth and why should you not exercise the same privilege with regard to him aad his wares, when yau) get tired of them? And when you discontinue a paper da So. manfully. Hon t be so pttirul as to throw back to the postmaster with a oontoinptuous "I don't want it any longer!" and hive brfuseo wtittea apon the margin and have the paper returned to the editor. No qkn ri.KA- ever stopped a paper in that wsy, no matter if his head U covered with grty hairs that should be honorablo. If you do not wish tonnee to receive a newspaper, write a note to tho editor like a iqiui, spying J' and be sere that arrearages are paid. That is lac way to stop a newspaper,

Salaries Gono to Protest The following is effered as a Sapplemeat to discussions of lata of tha iaadaquaey f ssiaisters' salaries: - '. ' , " Not only Is tba salary of sobs of ear ministers too small, but it Is notpaid pnaetually. What I wish ta urge upoO the ehurohas is to pay tha salary of their ministers aad sa that it is done at the time. Some charchss have adopted the method of paying quarterly, and a few pay quarterly in advance. Either of these methods wiUdo veri wall, especially the JatUr. It an-f-abtes him to Ikikeeash purchases, and thus save a . small parceotago on his .outlay, Bat some churches pay only at tha alase ofra year.' Ths arrangement subjects jaanj a minister to serious ioeonreaisaee and real loss.- f lie has W eon tract debts and buy "on credit, and in this way increase his expenses quite materially But this is not the worst method adopted, some charches do not even pay punctually at the close of ths year, bat let a part of the year's salary remain for weeks and months after the vear has closed. ' Such a course js cruel. . The minister does not like to dun his pesple. H feels tha wrong, aad it vftea wounds aim keenly .to know tnat nis people are so negligent aod careless, and .have so little thought about his comfort or necessity.

The Union Republican party of Indiana, assembled in convention at Indianapolis, on the 11 day of February, 1370, make the following declaration of principles: We eongratulate the country on the restoration of law, order, and the late rebellious States under tlie recanstruotion measures adopted by the Uenj erai uovermnunc, ana upon me reuta oi peace and tne return oi iraternai loeung among tne people of all of the States, under a Constitution granting an e-ifality of political and civil rights to all citixens," without distinction of race or color. That wo reverence the Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land, a wise embodiment of the principles ef free government, and, following its teachings, we will adopt, from time to timesuch amendments as are necessary more completely to establish justice, the insurance of domestic tranquility f and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity; and thit we rejoice at the ratification of the lMh Amendment, which ever secures an equality of political rights te all men, and we extend to the colored man a helping hand, to enable him, in the race of life, to improve an I elevate his condition. Th.iethe national debt, created in the defense and preservation of the Union, however great the burden, must be cheerfully borne until honorably and honestly extinguished in accordance with the letter and spirit of the sereral laws authorising tho debt, and 'that all attempts at repudiation meet tbe scorn and denunciation of an honest and , patriotic people. ,4 j That we demand in every department of the j Government, Irom the highest to the lowest, the scrictest economy .in all expenditures consistent with the requirements of the public service, the reduction and abolishment of nil oxtrsvagant fees and salaries, the closing of alt useless offices and the dismissal of their incumbents; and all efforts to those ends id Congress, or elseahere, have oar unqualified approval. That a reduction of taxation ia demanded, both of the tariff and internal taxes, until it reaches the lowest amount consistent with the necessities of the Government, and that we are in favor of a tariff for revenue, beliering that a proper adjustment of the duties must necessarily aff.rd all the incidental protection to which any interest it en titled. That we are in favor of a currency founded on ! the national credit, as abundant as the trade and commerce oi tne coumrj uemtuu, nu iu w ; disapprove ef all laws l reference thereto which establish a monopoly orlnequay ty therein.' That we are opposed to the? donations ef the public lands or the grant of subsidies in money to railroads and other corporations, and that we demand the reservation of the public domain for the use of actual settlers and educational purposes. ' ' That we reaffirm that of all who were faithful in the trials of the late war here, none are ea titled to more especial hiuor than tbe brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of theca:npign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service of their country, and the bounties and pensions provided by law for those brave defenders of the nation are obligaticns never to be forgotten, and should be borne without cost to tho recipient. The widows and orphans of the gallant d.ad are the wards of the nation, a sacred legaey, bequeathed to the nation's eare. That we approve the general course ef oar Sen ators and Republican Representatives in Congress, and express our full and entire confidence that they will act with wisdom aad iategrity in all that concerns the welfare of the people, aad that we tender thanks lo Senator M rlon for his exertions in so shaping the legislation of Coagrest oa the reeonstitoction t the late rebellious States as tq seoure the passage of tha 15th Amendment.
