OHIO IN MOTION.

The masses appear to be in motion in all d.
rections. At Circleville, on the 18th, Old Pick
AWAY was in council to the number of seven to
ten thousand" according to the Herald. Friend
Thrall has quiet way of his own in telling a
story, and we will let him speak
1--WE had expected large convocation but
were not prepared to see The thousands upon thou
sands of the silk stocking gentry who work in
blacksmith shops, and drive the plane, and hold
the plough, which thronged in from every quar-
ter, to participate in the proceedings, and show
ing that they were obedient to their country's
CALL We did not think there were so many peo-
pile in our country and as all in attendance be-
longed to the party, there be but few in The
ranks of Teas To attempt description of
the number, enthusiasm, determination, and va
riety of the mass would be vain. Every log
cabin had sent forth lis inmates, every heart beat
high with the anticipation of certain triumph;
every man was strong with patriotic resolution
and all varieties of people were in attendance
The poor and rich, landlord and tenant. men,
women and children were there with gay faces
andpure purposes. Banners of all descriptions
were borne IN the procession which wound it's
slow length along to the tune of from seven to
ten thousand" t5G gs
Gov. Corwin, Mr. Stanberry, Mr.. Storer, Gen.

On the 18th, the spirited Wings of benighted
Fairfield made grand rally We have heard
the numbers varlously estimated, at from to

mechanic arts and agriculture were duly repre-
sented by the flax dresser and thresher, the comp

there, with her gallant crew. But, says the Ga.

from such as compose the heads of the Locofoco
party, we should expect nothing but system Of

The travelling propensties of our countrymen
appear to have been INDUCED during the present
season to an unusual extent. The New York
Express says:
This is the golden harvest of railroads, steam
boats, and hotels, for all the world seems TO be in
motion just now. We have never before seen
anything like 1t From Buffalo and Mont cal, to
the city Of New York, all the highways of travel
are full OF people; and the hotels here and else
where are full and over full. The numerous lines
of steamboats, that g. up and down the North river
are crowded night and day. The rail cars west
are also crowded. Niagara is crowded. Mon.
treal 10 pretty full of Americans. The springs
are overful. The hotels this year will make up
for all past bad times and railroads and steam
boats will make fat dividends where there is not
too much opposition.

TAKE NOTICE.

1t gives us pleasure to find the following fact
stated in the New York Tribune of yesterday.
The Herald is just where it ought to be:
"BenneH's Herald, it may be as well to inform
our friends every where, who hear of it but do
not see it, is sold out, body and gizzard, to the
Locofocos for the campaign, and is busy fabr-
eating returns and faslfying issues to suit its
new vocation. Having done its utmost to give a
victory to Nativism in the Spring, it is now doing
all it can to make that victory rebound to the adj
vantage of Locofocosm. All that we desire is
that it should be fairly understood abroad, and
not palmed off as neutral paper, as the Jour-
nal of Commerce often is"

A COLLISION ON THE RAILRoAD.-The Read

NeidIy's Retreat, Reading, on Friday afternoon
last A heavy four-horse wagon, heavily loaded
with large stone, was struck by sx-wheeled en-
CINE on the hind wheels while crossing the track,
with powerful force, dragging the wagon and two
horses for some twenty yards, and jerking the
front horses clear out of gear The driver, eng-
neer, and fireman escaped unnjured by leaping
off, but the wagon was crushed to atoms, and the
engine and one of the horses was thrown into
potato patch on the road side, and strange as may
appear, the horse although still hanging to the
tong, escaped almost unhurt, the other animal
was flung into the fence on his back, and the stone
were scattered in all directions 1t was fright

by hard frost yesterday, hot the day was.
The Locofocos of this city yesterday chose their
Ward Delegates to a City Convention which is to
choose the County Delegates to the State Nomi-
mating Convention, and the result, we understand,
is an overwhelming defeat of the Bouck cand-

CONFEDERATION IN GARDINER !-Great Loss of
Property THE Gardiner (Me.) Blade, August
l6, says This morning our town was visited
by the most extensive conhagration ever known
here. The whole of the mills on the lower dam,
together with three dwellings and two shops, and
an immense mass of lumber have been destroyed.
The northern end of the bridge across the stream
at the grst mill completely enveoped in
flames, and it was only by cutting it off at the
other extremity that they were prevented from
communicating to the buildings on the lower
street. The fire was first discovered about 2
o'clock, A. M. The two upper mills were, how
ever, developed in flames. Among the greatest
losers are r. II. Gardiner, Esq, loss estimated
at from Is to $4,000; Deane, Bowman, g. Swan,
$4,000; Shaw & Sheldon, So 500 Cook & Shaw,
$1,000; Wing & Bates, $1,000; Dinsmore &
Co.. $1,000 The whole loss is variously esti-
mated at from thirty to forty thousand dollars.

A Fish SToRY-The Richmond Compiler tells

A Fish SToRY.-The Richmond Compiler tells
the following story on the authority of friend :
lie says that in Carter county, Tennessee, he
saw spring which burst up with great force,
which at certain seasons bos up fine perch in
great abundance. net placed across the little
stream which runs from it has been known TO
take 6O0 perch in single night The spring is
near the Wataga river, and is probably delivered
from the river itself, but in long subterranean
passage, the water becomes SO cool and limpd
as to be unlike that of the river 1t must be glo.
rIous fun Tor the people Whereabouts to take perch
in SO easy manner. If the spring were only
hot spring, SO that the fish would pop up already
cooked for the table, what a remarkable instance
it would afford Of living made easy.'"

THE HOME MARKET.

Some persons, happy in their ignorance, are in
the habit OF sneering at the home market as a
matter OF very little concern to the gran-grower,
while they dwell upon the foreign market as our
main reliance for the consumption of our surplus
bread-stuffs. What will these persons say to the
fact, stated by Mr.. Ellsworth, the Commissioner
of Patents, in his last Annual Report to Congress
to wit, that :" in New England alone, in 1912
more than 100000 barrels Of -four were consutn-
ed in making starch and sizing more than
was sent to England in the same period :" and
that Massachusetts alone consumed, in the
same period, more flour than was exported to all
foreign countries" What should we do with
our surplus bread stufs if the manufacturing sys-
TEN were destroyed, and these consumers v ere
added to the already overstocked class of produ-
GERS If we break them down, and buy all the
fabrics we consume from Europe, how are we to
pay for them when fine harvests there lead to our
exclusion from their markets with our grain, as it
ls the case almost every year! This is view of
the question which early attracted the attention
Of Gen. Jackson, and he dwelt upon it in his old
tariff letters, when he was candidate for the
Presidency, with strong emphasis. 1t is possible
(but hardly possble) that we might obtain these
goods from abroad at cheaper prIces-but of what
consequence would it be to us whether thew be
cheap or dear, if we have no money to paw for
them, and if they take nothing which we make
in exchange for them !-Lynch6ure Vireinian.
