THE Sevmour Democrat gets oft* the following: And comes now again, Garber, of the Madison Courier. Garber is either near-sighted or else singularly unfortunate. Garber is again a victim. During the late Jefferson county Fair, Garber
was appointed on the committee to award the premium to the best cow. In fact, it
somehow appears that the managers, having full faitn in his intimate acquaintance
__ that the managers, hav-
ing fuTl faith* in with the bovine secies, had left the en tire matter in his hands alone. Our knight of the quill appeared on the ground,'and after surveying carefully -all the stock within the enclosure, with a conclusive, knowing wag of his old head, walked up and tied the red ribbon on the horn of a young Durham bull.—Sentinel.
We believe the above is a «m--ardly attempt to bull-y the excellent editor of the Courier out of his well-earned reputation as a judge of good stock. The true version of the story is that the red ribbon was removed by a wag, from the horn of '.a splendid bovine female on which Colonel Garber had placed it, and attached to 'the cranial appendage of a taurine monstrosity. The Colonel took the joke in gpd part. Not so, however, with some -t^ old farmers who were on the Comtk,him. Their professional pride "jgjyd thev were justly indig"rv appear ignorant of

THE Indianapolis Mirror compares General Nat. Kimball to Cincinnatus. When the delegates waited on that bully old Roman, tendering him the command of the army, they found him plowing up liis potato patch. Gen.

THE Indianapolis Commercial reports the tenth case of mob law in Jackson county as having just occurred, it being that of Stephen Clarke, a suspected horse thief, who was hung high and dry about 3 o'clock last Thursday morning. Jackson county constables and sheriff) have the singular habit of taking prisoners through dark woods between midnight and three o'clock in the morning. By a strange coincidence there is always a company of men in the woods, who don't wan't to hurt the officers, and advise them to go home. They go home, and the prisoner is found hanging in a tree in the morning.
FROM the New Albany <Commercial> we learn that on last Friday there was an other murder in Washington county. It appears that one Jones, a man about 30 years of age, and one Huffman, a boy aged 17, both in the employ of John and Henry Huffman, near White river, Jefferson township, had a dispute as to how a certain piece of work should be done. They quarreled some time, using "cuss words" at and towards each other, until finally Jones swore he would larrup the boy and started to carry out his intention. The young man was not going to be run off nor thrashed, and seized a club about four or five feet in length and dealt Jones a blow on the head, felling him to the ground, breaking his skull, from the effects of which he died on Saturday.—
Huffman has fled the country to escape arrest.

A DISPATCH from Richmond nays: "The Telegram Printing Company announce a twenty-eight colamn daily paper, to be the Daily Telegram, this forenoon. The publishers are Messrs. A. A. Wilcox and James M.

IN THE case of Eugene Salcy, on trial in the Marion Criminal Court, last week, for the murder of Julius Black, an account of which has appeared in this paper, the jury returned .the following verdict: "We, the jury, find the defeudant [sic] guilty of manslaughter, and sentence him to imprisonment in the county jail for thirty days, defendant being a minor. "T. P. MILLER, Foreman."
Such a verdict is a mockery of justice, and Judge Chapman should have set it aside. No one pretends that the "minor" was too young to fully comprehend the nature of his crime. Verily the ways of Marion county juries are "past finding out." —————
THE Madison Courier explains how a nice little game of the Democrats to "bleed" the Republican "boys" of that city was "set up." A few days ago one of the faithful, while in Cincinnati, made an arrangement with a prominent Democratic politician to telegraph to Madison, at the very earliest opportunity, the result of the election, and, to prevent suspicion, a form of a dispatch was prepared. If Democracy was triumphant, the magic words, "Mother is getting well," and if Democracy lost, "Mother is dying" were to be sent. Tuesday night at 10 p. M. the dispatch came, "Mother is getting better— out of danger." Immediately all hands started out to get bets, and soon had all their money staked. Wednesday nine o'cloek revealed the fact that the physician had made a mistake and "mother wasn't so well," in fact, she was really "dying," but the news came too late—the money was up, and the only chance to save it was to "hedge" among the members of their own party who knew nothing of the "ring" and were going it blind on the popularity of Pendleton. Who'll "kiss them for their mother" now? pa. thetically inquires the Courier
Sabbath at the Reform School.
PLAINFIELD, IND., Oct. 12, 1869. EDITORS EXPRESS: Being apprised of the fact that visitors are not admitted to this Institution on the Lord's day, we took advantage of the large sign that has been been placed near the front gate and anticipated the matter a little by finding our way to the school on Saturday p. M., and accepted and enjoyed the hospitalities of the Home for the erring for the night and the next day. Sunday morning found us perambulating around the different buildings in Bearch of items for the EXPRESS. At six o'clock A. M., our organs of hearing caught the first sound that emanated from the bell and we saw the boys rise, dress, make their beds and get ready for breakfast.— after partaking of a good meal the boys return to their school rooms and give their undivided attention to committing verses preparatory to reciting them in the Sabbath School. At ten a. m., the bell rings again and the teachers repair to the different school rooms and the work of God begins.
Two distinct schools are kept up and they are taught in a very creditable manner. These boys are divided into classes with a suitable person to take charge of each class. A book is kept by each teacher, in which is recorded the number and name of each boy and the number of verses committed and recited perfectly.— At the close of these recitations the class books are given to the "House Father," (a name given to the man in charge of the family) and he reports to the Superintendent the condition and standing of the School, composed of the boys of the family, over which he presides. At 11 a. the bell calls both Schools to the Chapel to engage in the lively and interesting exercises of the hour—consisting of reading and prayer by the Superintendent singing by the boys and teachers, responsive reading, the Superintendent and boys alternating, and the general expositions of the lesson. Boys are called on to recite different portions of the lesson under consideration and to give their opinion of the meaning of the same. This part of the exercise is well calculated to aid the boys in learning to think and express their thoughts with ease and system Keeping class books has much to do by way of stimulating the boys to learn verses, and we were very much pleased to observe the eager expression of the different faces as each boy's number was read and the whole school informed of the number of verses each boy had re cited. During the month of September 5,480 verses were committed.
Class No. 5 is taught by one of the boys He has been a hard boy.and came to the Reform School under an assumed name. He is now regarded as quite a good boy and is of much service to the Institution
The boys sing and unite in repeating the Lord's prayer and the exercises of the Sabbath School terminate, and now the boys get ready for a good dinner.
A walk to some of the pleasant groves is the next thing on the programme after dinner. An officer always accompanies the boys while on these walks or rambles. At three o'clock P. M. the minister that was expected to be present and address the boys not having arrived, the Chapel was again occupied and C. Wr. Ainsworth read a sermon from that most excellent book called the "Safe Compass," in which Mr. Newton makes things so plain that all can understand.
The sermon read to the boys was founded on the saying of the wise man "Go to the ant, thou sluggard, Consider her ways and be wise." The discourse was just suited to the wants of the boys and they are very much interested in it, and after the close of the services little groups of boys could be seen on the plav ground commenting on the sermon and recounting to each other the lessons they have learned from what they had always considered the insignificant ant. Time passes pleasantly and profitably, and the bell is again calling the boys to partake of food. This time each boy, as the long line marches by the bake house, gets a piece of pie and 'a large biscuit and this is his supper. By the time each boy has put away his "luneh" the bell summons them all to school room number one to listen to the Superintendent who favors them with select rending of a religious nature. These boys who have hitherto been accustomed to spend their leisure moments in the streets and saloons now find pleasure in listening to the reading of those who labor for their welfare. Another day has closed in upon us'and it is bed time for the boys and thev sing and all unite in returning thanks to God for the many blessings vouchsafed unto them and ask for a continuance of the same.
Again have we to leave y#u, but will communicate with.you soon again. inm

DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENTB THROWN OUT!
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16.—A majority of the Judges of the Common Pleas have pronounced a decision in the contested election case of 1868. The opinion details many frauds committed, and thrown out two divisions of the Tenth Ward, with portions of the vote^ in other divisions, and upon the District Attorney to prosecute the authors of the frauds, especially those committed by election officers. The decision shows Mayor Fox to have received sixty-eight majority, legal votes, while the other Republican city officers are declared electa!, throwing oat the Democratic incumbents. Judge Ludlow dissented from the decision and read his opinion at great length.
After the rendering of the decision in the election case, notice was given of a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. This will raise the question of the jurisdiction of the Court of Common Pleas only, and will not open discussion on the merits of the election.
NEW JERSEY MONSTERS. ———
Frightful Cruelty to Little Colored Girl.
From the New York Sun.] About eighteen months ago Mr. McNeill and his wife, who keep a largest store in
About eighteen months ago Mr .McNeill id his wife, who keep a large store in Patterson, N. J., took Martha Washington, a young colored girl, from the Colored Orphan Asylum in New York City. Last July Mrs.l McNeil missed some money, which she accused Martha of stealing. The girl denied the theft, and to extract a confession, after whipping her. Mr "and Mrs. McNeill got an old clothesline cord, and tied her up by the thumbs to a beam overhead in the garret, so that her toes barely touched the floor, and left her in that position from 9:30 at night until McNeill rose to go to the store at about 4 the next morning.
The poor girl was subsequently tied up in the same manner, and choked by a strap drawn tight around the neck by another member of the family. After this, to extort from her a confession, McNeill tied her hands behind her back and then fastened a part of a harness around her waist, and drew her taut to the beam overhead, and then stood off and lashed her with what she says was a black raw-hide.
Fastened up to the beam, she was told that she should remain there and be whipped until she told where the money was and there she remained, she says, from that Friday until Saturday of the following week, when she heard McNeill tell his wife to give her some bread, as she was starving. She was still kept tied another week—between fourteen and fifteen days in all—during which time she was whipped every night, she says, by McNeill, and frequently by his wife.
On one occasion McNeill put a strap about her neck and choked her unttil she fainted and fell over as far as she could, and when she came to he was kicking her. All the sleep she had was in a standing position, or by bending forward on the strap about her waist. She remembers fainting twice during this torture.
Mr. and Mrs. McNeill at length extorted from the lacerated victim a confession that she had taken the money but on her release she could not tell where it was. She says she never saw any money about the house, and had to say she stole it, as she feared that she was dying. In a rage, the fiendish couple took her to Paterson and had her thrown into jail by a Justice, on a charge of theft by confession and she was kept in a cell nearly ten weeks. Mr. and Mrs. McNeill appeared before the Grand Jury last week to get the girl indicted but that body turned the tables upon the complainants and indicted them.
Judge Bedle directed the young girl to be brought before him. Her appearance was that of a tattooed East Indian. Her arms and back shoved places in great furrows and bleached seams where the lash had buried itself into her flesh.
The Warden of the jail corroborated the girl's story concerning her condition when delivered into his hands, and said that the raw flesh was rolled up from the bones of the thumbs where she had been tied by cords, and that her body had been cut all over by the lash.
Judge Bedle fined Mr. McNeill $150, and his wife $50, for their atrocious assault upon the poor orphan girl.
Mr. McNeill is a wealthy man, and it becomes the duty of the New York Colored Orphan Asylum to institute a civil suit at once in behalf of the cruelly abused orphan girl, Martha Washington.
Father Hyacinthe in America. From the Philadelphia Inquirer.] Father Hyacinthe, the barefooted Carmelite, according to a cable dispatch, is on his way to this country, where, it is said, he will remain for two or three months. This hasty exit from Paris, from the very steps of the altar of Notre Dame, looks more like enforced flight than voluntary exile. In view pf the meeting of the Ecumenical Council, his place was not here, but beneath the dome of St. Peter's, to defend, as best he could, his earnest protest against the advance of Ultramontanism, which, in its intolerance, permits no freedom of conscience, and holds itself above the spirit of question or rebuke. Instead of defense in Rome, he seeks exile in America, and, curiously enough, just at the moment that the Bishops of the Church here are on their way to the Council. It is even possible that the different, ships that bear them and him may pass each other in mid-ocean.
Father Hyacinthe, a member ofthe Sooiety of the Jesuits, it will be remembered, was, by command of the Father-Gen-eral of his order, bidden to preach no more in Notre Dame against the_ anticipated dogma of the coming Council, which, it is said, will make the absolute will of the Pope an article of faith. Father Hyacinthe was a power in France, having and using such eloquence and earnestness as have not been felt there since the preaching of Lacordaire. He attracted all classes of people to hear nim Notre Dame was crowded whenever he spoke, with youth and age, with the gay and grave, the devotee, and the scoffer. He spoke right out from the hearty seldom dealing in controversy like his rival, Father Felix, but like the grand old martyr, Savonarola, touching as with fire the hearts of vice, indolence and irreligion. And his worst offense against Rome and his order was, that with sublime effrontery in one occupying his position, he denounced the system which set up the will of the confessor against that of the head of the family, or the command of the Church against the conscience of the person. Again, he was opposed to the imperialism of the Pope, which dreamed of reconquering Christendom. His latest offenses, however, were Mis condemnations of the alleged designs of the men having in preparation the approaching Council. A Carmelite himself, ne has been overthrown by the Carmelites at Rome. Beingcalled upon by the head of the Order there to recant certain of his utterances, he refused. But that he should not defend himself at Rome, and put oceant between himself and his enemies, is the present wonder of it all.
That he was not alone in his revolt is shown by the late formal remonstrance of the nineteen Catholic Bishops at Fulda, and the circular letter sent by the King of Bavaria to other Catholic rulers, suggesting unanimous action against the disintegrating designs suspected to actuate the friends of Rome in the coming Council. Those Bishops will undoubtedly attend the Council why, then, should not Father Hvancinthe.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 16.—A horrible accident occured [sic] to-day at the Ohio river bridge, which swells the already numerous lives sacrificed in its construction.— At half-past 4 o'clock this afternoon, the temporary trestle work, being erected between the piers 16 and 17 for the purpose of swinging a span, gave way, by a jerk of the locomotive used in raising the timbers, and six men were precipitated a distance of 95 feet. John K. Payne, carpenter, was instantly killed. James Kirby, carpenter, was cut in two and floated over the reefs. The body was not recovered. Oscar Gallagher and Wm. Irwine, laborers, were mortally wounded. Robert Gensley, laborer, and Matt. McClure, carpenter, slightly wounded. Payne leaves a wife and child. He was formerly of Cincinnati.

THREE MEN KILLED! ——
HEN KILLED!
Vigilance Committee Excited! ———
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 17.—A disgraceful shooting affair occurred at Taylorsville, Warrick county, Indiana, on Sunday, resulting in the death of two, if not three men. The difficulty was between two men named Springston, on the one side, and two named Clark on the other, in which Harvey Springston was killed and his brother Abe so badly wounded that he died soon afterward. Harvey Springston was recently pardoned out of the penitentiary. The difficulty originated in a dispute about a settlement of some accounts.
Shortly after the shooting, a number of the citizens who compose a self-constituted Vigilance Committee, proceeded armed and equipped to the residence of Mr. Rice, who had been warned to leave the neighborhood by the 10th inst., and fired several shots, freightening [sic] him so that he cleaned up in a hurry, leaving the neighborhood.
The Springstons are said to belong to the Vigilance Committee. Another of the Rice's, who had been warned to leave, but paid no attention to the warning, was found dead in the woods near the town, shot, and the two Whitinghill's, father and son, who refused to take any part, either for or against the committee, were also warned to leave the neighborhood. A terrible state of aflairs exist, and law-abiding people seem to be paralyzed. ———<>———

A word to Parents.
Do speak kindly to your little ones! Their hearts are brimful of love for you. Put yourself on an equality with them „oin in their little sports and ^pastime Do not feel that you compromise your dignity by such acts. It will cause them to open their hearts to you, and you will, unconsciously, gain their love and confidence, by which, with proper training, you may save them a world of trials, and perhaps, from a career of crime. To my mind there can be no more heart- sickening sight than to see a child, large or small, shun the presence of its parents.
When you see this the case, rest assured there is something wrong. Parents, for Heaven's sake! do not be stern and overbearing toward your children recolect you were a child once let them feel in their hearts that you are their best earthly friends, ever ready to sympathise with them in their sorrows or joys. If they commit an error sometimes, speak to them gently of it, not before strangers, or you will destroy all the good effect it might have had by pursuing a contrary course.
Lead and direct—do not drive. Say what you have to say gently and kindly, not with anger on your brow, and in tones that would lead one to suppose they were culprits, and you a stern judge, instead of a loving, tender parent, as you should be.
Anger is a blight. God only knows how much has withered under its influence. It has broken bonds of friendship, and severed family ties.
Do you try to make home attractive? If not, you commit a great error. Let it be, to your children, the "dearest spot on earththe great world will beckon them away from the home nest soon enough care*and pain will write their heart's sorrows on their faces, line their foreheads, dim their eyes, and blot out their dimples.
Let us therefore, do all we can to make their childhood and youth happy and joyous and when they go out from it, to mingle with the cold unfeeling world, it will t»e to them a green spot even in memory, to which their minds can revert with pleasure.
Let me say again, speak gently to your children It will cost you nothing, but will make their little hearts glad. ^Encourage them to bring their associates home with them you can then see if they are proper ones, and point out traits to be shunned or imitated. Cultivate a kindly disposition to all especially tolittle children. It will pay.
BATTLE IN CUBA
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Private letters from Havana report that on the 9th inst. a battle was fought near Guaimaro between Spanish forces under Valmaseda and two aivisionsof insurgents under Jordon and Quesada, which, after seven hours of severe fighting, resulted in defeat of the Spaniards. Losses on both sides very heavy. The Spanish papers are silent in regard to this.
Butler has been "interviewed." He wants "gold to be made an article of Merchandise." He adores a metallic currency. He is in love with gold and spoony on silver.
The perversity which ple adh«re to the Qoeen's English, utterly refusing to comprehend the modern style of rhetoric as found in the terse, significant phrases aadsenteaceaof everyday bosiness conversation, very often proves sorely trying to the patience of those adepts in Yankee slang and pointed abbreviations. A good story is mated by a well known lake captain who has been running a Buffido propeller tor several years past. Some time since he had among his passengers from this city a wealthy, honest hearted, but rather irascible son of "Hold Hengland," who had but recently arrived over from Great Britain and was going to Toledo to visit a married daughter. The day after his arrival at that city, while taking a walk about the town with Captain he observed a lot of fine horses on sale exhibition, and desiring to present his daughter and son-in-law with something in that line, he stepped np and priced one or two the animals. The owner of immediately stepped up and gave him the figures. "'Ow much his this'n?" pointing to a sleek, docile mare. "$350." "Will she make a good buggy 'orse?" asked the Englishman. "You bet!" came in an emphatic tone from the jockey. 'Bet! Wat do you mean! Hi don't want to bet hi want to buy the 'orse if hi like it."
To this the dealer in horse flesh made no answer, and after a moment or two of critical examination our wealthy friend remarked: "Hi don't think she will hanswer for a family 'orse," "I've got stamps as says she ain't got no superr as a family 'orse in this city," replied the irritated owner. ''Stamps! Who is Stamps? Hi don't care wat Stamps says hi know a good 'orse when hi see it as well as Stamps hor hany hother person," sharply responded the Englishman. "Oh, well, now," said the jockey, assuming a concilatory tone, "take another look at this animal. Why she was jest made for you." "Made for me, you puppy!" blustered the excitable Jonny Bull, "'Ow could that hanimal 'ave been made for me? Why, hi'avan't been in this 'ere blasted country three weeks yet."—Buffalo Express
How many Trains. 1,
Ike Bromley tells the following story of Pacific railroad experience in the Hartford Post
For the present I shall drop the Pacific road recurring to it by and by perhaps, for the burpose of comparison between tne journey to California overland and the voyage thither by sea. But before dismissing it let me tell you a problem with which we harrowed our souls on the way. "Suppose," said the Governor (Hawley), "there is one train a day each way over the Pacific road—we start from Omaha aud are five days on the passage—how many trains do we pass on the way
Kellogg trumped his partner's trick and enswerep very promtly, "Five." Scudder in a thoughtful way played the left bower and emrarked "Lets see 'twould be six wouldn't it Oh no, four." "Why, five of course—that's plain enough," seid Edgar Welles, gathering up the cards for a new deal.
Charjpy and Frank set to work to figure it out by algebra and came very near proving that we didn't pass any train at all Ike was putting hanl questions to a mormon passenger, and I, not being strong on mathematics, was sticking like a brother to Sam Bowles' "Pacific Railrroad Open," and taking no hand in the ciphering. "Hold on, "said Kellogg I was wrong —its six for there's the one that starts out from Sacramento the same morning that—no, it don't—yes, it does—it must be five, of course—I pass." "One train a day, five days, makes five trains, of course. Thats my trick, "said Welles. "Well I don't know about that," said Scudder "we've passed two trains to-day.
Then they went to work at it, aud mulled over it, and ciphered on it, till finally in reply to somebody's "well, how many trains do we pass the Govenor said "Ten."
At first they didn't believe it but when it was explained, it seemed justt as aasy as it was for those old magwumps in Spain to set the eggs on end, after Columbus had shown them how.

DR. WHITTIEK, A REGULAR GRADUATE OF MEDICINE,! as Diploma at office will sbow, bas been lonr er engaged in the treatment of vcnereral Seyual and Privace Disease® than any other Physician in St. Louis.
Syphillis, Gonorrhea, Gleet, Stricture, Orchitis, Hernis and Rupture,_all Umnary diseases, Syphilitic or Mercurial Affections of the Throat, Skin or Bones, are treated with unparalleled success. ...
Spermatorrhea, Sexual Debility and Impoteney, as the result of self-abuse^ in youth, sexual excess in mature years or otaercauscs, and which produce some of tho following offects, as Nocturnal Emissions, Blotches, De-
Power.and rendering Marriage improper, are permanently cured. Tho Doctor's opportunities in hospital and private practice are unsurpassed in St. Louis or or any othor city. Back files of St. Louis papers prove that he has been located there longer by years than any other so' advertising. Tho establishment, library, labratory and appointments, aro unrivalled in the West, unrivalled anywhere. Ago, with experience! can bo relied upon, and the Doctor can refer to many physicians throughout the country. In past success and present position he stands without a competitor. THE WRITINGS OF A PHYSICIAN WHOSE
REPUTATION IS UNION-WIDE, ARE WORTH READING. Doctor Whittier publishes a Medical Pitm-
Shet
relating to Venereal Diseases and the isastrous and varied consequences of selfabuse, that will be sent to any address in a sealed envelope for two stamps. It contains full symptom lists that will enable those affected to determine tho nature of their complaint and give a written statement of thoir case that will answer almost as well for the purpose of treatment as a personal interview but where it is convenient tho Doctor should be consulted personally. Those having friends that may require advice, can supply them with this valuablo work by sending their address, with stamp. Thus you can assist the unfortunates without thoir knowing their benefactor. Certainly no subject is of more importance than purity of olood and perfect manhood.
It is self-evident that a physician who confines himself exclusively to the study of a certain class of diseases and troats thousands of cases every year, must acquire greater skill in that specialty than only general practice. Many physicians, recognising this fact, introduce patients to tho Doctor after rending his Medical Pamphlet. Communications confidential. A friendly talk.will cost you nothing.
