ONO AGAINST THE woRLD.-D0ub6
Deuces.-The wife of Mr.. Knowles d
Union township, Ross CO, was safely de-
livered, few days since, of four daugh-
ters at birth. The children are said
to be doing we'll. Mrs. Knowles is ID
her forty-sixth year, and had previously
given birth to thirteen children. Mrs.
K. has been visited by most of the mar
ried ladies in the neighborhood, and tits
thought that her good fortune is likely
to create some dissatisfaction among
them.-Scioto Gazette.

A Wagon load Of girls for the western
market passed through Northampton,
Mass. a few days since. 1t has been
stated lately that there was, in mercan-
tile parlance, "great call" for the
commodity at Chicago and other occi-
dental marts, and we doubt not that this
consignment of Yankee damsels will be
taken into first hands, as soon as they
arrive. At all events it would be a pity
for them to get into the clutches ofspcc-
ulators in that region, for matters oftraf-
fc have been blown much beyond their
intrinsic value within year past. There
were only seven in the Wagon load.

On Sunday evening last, between 10
and ii o'clock, the lightning struck the
dwelling house Of Francis Charter. Esq.
n Essselle, 5 miles from this city. The
electric fluid fell upon the south east cor
ner, entirely destroyed the post, throw
ing it, in fine, ribbon-like strips, TO the
distance of 90 to 80 rods went from
the post under the sill, along which it
cut groove about inches square, until
it reached the northeast corner-from
thence in the wall, it passed to the road,
removing the stones, and reducing them
tovery small particles. All the window
glass in the chamber was broken and
scattered over the rooms and beds, in
pieces small and fine, in form and size
resembling shingle nails. OF the thir-
teen persons in the house, none were se-
riously injured, though Mr.. G. and his
wife were very severely shocked, the ef-
fects Of which they still in some degree
experience. Monroe Times.

TIE PATENT oFFIcE.-From the report Of
the committee of the Senate, we learn some
thing of the extent Of the loss by the burning
of the patent Office, viz: 1000 models, cost not
estimated-9ooO drawings, dilto-library, cost
slO0G-model eases, s20oO-iecord books and
portfolios, containing descriptions and draw
ings OF inventions, many Of them exceedingly
beautiful, Sl,3Oo-fuc, seals, &c., $780,
1t is estimated that 5000 models, from 5000 to
6ooo drawings, Office furniture, &C., can be
restored at an expense Of Sl56. 100. There is
a surplus in the treasury, credited TO The pat
ent office Of sl56, 9O7, 70, sufficient to meet
the estimated expense of replacing the models,
drawings, &c., as above.

er? Is II because The banks take the gold out
Of circulation and put it in their vaults2 This
may be one reason but Mr. Rivos' plan does
not obvote this difficulty; he merely restricts
the banks to bills of $50 and over he does
not reduce their capital, or their circulation,
and hence they will need and will hnrS ne
much gold and silver in their vaults as ever
II is intended, no doubt, that the necessity Of
small pieces, either in metal or paper, will
force out the gold and silver from the vaults Of
the banks but will not rather a sufficient
number OF the state banks issue their small
bills in greater abundance, and remove this ne.
cessity? They can well afford to have their
money refused by government, if they can en-
Joy sort Of small bill monopoly by this sacra-
fee their email bills icM be received by the
people, the law to the contrary noiwithstand-
ing. This is proved by the experience of those
states where the small bill law is now on the
statute books. One fact will go far to show
that we cannot have a gold and silver currency
until The banks arc shut up: that fact is that
the whole amount OF specie IN the country VIII
hardly exceed one sirth Of the authorized bank
ing capita. So long, then, as banks exist, so
long we shall have paper currency; and If
government would substitute salutary logisla-
ton, proiting by past experience, instead Of
the system of tinkering which it seems to have
adoptcd-the people would have good, safe
and convenient currency,--of paper, based up
on specie.

THE DIETER cURRENeY."-A document
has just come to hand, showing considerable
light upon tho "better currency which the ad-
ministration promised on the destruction OF
the monster and it comes from on authentic
source, viz: the Secretary OF the Treasury
Every body remembers that gold and silver
has been promised in abundance, particularly
by Benton it was 10 be the currency-gold
was to flow up the Mississippi in big streams,
and from thence in little ones into the purses
of every body. Indeed, for time a few Of
the party were scattered over the country
exhibiting single drop of the precious metal,
to come. Alas, for the party, the shower new
or did come, and the people are now just about
as well pleased with five dollar bill on a
good bank, as ever they were. This docu-
ment, 10 which we have alluded, gives the
number of banks, capital, circulation, SC. at
different periods down to Dec. 1886; and il
exhibits state Of things which cannot fail to
astound the " democrats" in SO far as il dem
onstrates that the war against paper money,
begun by their distinguished chiei, has cover
ed him with the disgrace Of utter defeat. In
1880, when the war was begun, there were
$50 banks 1.-THE U. S. Bank includcd,) with
an estimated capital of Sl45, 1872, 26s; in Dec
1886, after the "war" had been carried on
four years and the U. S. bank was destroyed,
there were 677 banks with a capital Of $685..
42l, 1853: that ia, banks and banking capital in
the United States have been MORE THAN
DOUBLED in four years This is more
than a velifcaton OF the predictions Of the
friends Of the national bank. Indeed, SO evil
dent is the failure of the administration TO re-
duce the circulation Of paper by putting down
the old bank, that it is admitted by some Of
the supporters Of the plan, and new measures
are introduced TO accomplish the object. The
new scheme is brought forward by Mr. Riyes :
prcdicaling his plan upon the notion that S.
bills and S. gold picces-or that equivalents in
metal or papcr-cannOt circulate together. he is
for forcing out the paper, to make room for the
gold. 1t strikes us this is really ridiculous
and that it must fail, ultimately. Why cannot
equivalents in gold and paper circulate togeIh-

sD@ We venture the conjecture that when
the editor Of the Patriot determined to find
fault with the state treasurer, relative 10 the
surplus, he was not appriscd Of the great labor
of spportoning the money TO $40 towns, of a
different population, and of course entitled to u
different sum. We apprehend the treasurer
has expedited this business as much as posi-
Bile. At just about the date Of the last Patriot,
the money was ready tor distribution; and
probably most Of the towns of this county re-
cei'ed tho sum to which they wee entitled, just
about the time at which the fault finding ar,i.
