OBITUARY..

Departed this life, in the iriumphs of faith, at
Clinton, Indiana June the 18th, l545 sister Joannah
Ralmept Brown, oonsort of OTIS Brown, and daughter
OF John and Lydia Whtcomb. She was born in
Hamilton county, Ohio, December oath, 1912. At
the age of thirteen she removed with her widowed
mother and family, to this State, and settled near
Lafayette. In 1888, she became united in the holy
bonds OF matrlmony to her present bereaved husband,
and settled In the same town where she died. As a
neghbcr, she was much esteemed and was an agree
able companion, affectonate MOTHER very useful
Sabbath School Teacher and jealous devoted christ
ian, and devoted friend to the way-worn itnerant
Minister. During her sickness, two of her brothers
James Whitcomb, Governor of Indiana, and Rev.
David Whitcomb of the Ohio Conference visited her.
She talked freely and calmly with them, and others
about death and her blessed prospect of Heaven.
Thus lived and died one who in death could lean
her head on Jesus, and breathe her life out sweety
there. Her funeral was preached by the writer Of
this article to large and deeply affected audience
that gave evidence they had been bereaved of much
loved frend but their loss is her gain. She sleeps
in the graveyard by the side of her four children,
that were buried in infancy to await the sound of the
trump that will bid them arise. May Heaven bless
her bereaved husband and little daughter and friends
!! that the whole family may meet in Heaven

OHIoANs CAPTUREDi GREAT EXCITEMENT t--On
the evening of the 9th, three men from Ohio Mr. C..
Bbraine, Mr.. Garner, and Mr.. Thomas, all of Wash
ington county, Ohio, seized on the Ohio shore,
by body of men from Virginia. and lodged in Jail at
Parkersburgh, upon the charge that they had aided
the escape of slaves.
The facts learn them are these, that six
negroes, belonging to Mr.. Howard, or Wood county,
Va, make their escape into Ohio; that seven men,
among whom were the three above named met these
negroes ON the bank; and were. aiding them in the
removal of their baggage, when they were seized, the
other four escaping. This was done without any
process of law. The Virgnians say that they had
knowledge Of the designs of the Ohioans which they
derived unquestionably from the negroes; and that
they thus prepared TO defeat the designs of both
parties TIE friends of the captured whites tell this
story that weeks since, they were solic-
tied by white man, elder in the Baptist Church
in Virginia, and our informant thinks his name is
Romane, to aid the escape of the negroes that they
they were always ready TO help the bond in their
efforts to gain their liberty; and that he returned and
entered into the plot against them, for promised
reward if they were captured of fifty dollars

The CHINAMEN.-The Boston Transcript gives the
following account of the celestials brought by Mr.
Peters Of N. York, and who created SO much curios
ty while there:
"Among the strangers now in Boston, are three re-
al Cinnamon, good specimens of the inhabitants of
the Celestial Empire. They appear in full Chinese
costume long black queue and ALL and attaches of
the famous Chinese Museum, which is soon TO be
opened here and will form an interesting part of that
exhibition.
We have already stated that one of these China
men professor of music. His name is Leko-
king. He is about thiry-ive years OF age, and has
much more the appearance OF philosopher than a
musician He has very sedate and imperturbable
look and we understand he has never since leaving
China, manifested any symptoms Of excitement, ex-
cept when he first got into the upon tie railroad
on his way from New York to Boston. He is, in
fact, an inveterate Chinese; and seems determined
not to become barbarian if he can help it. Mr..
Weed, supercargo, and Captain Kiham, of the ship
Bazaar, In which the Museum and the Chinese gen.
tlemen were brought out, took considerable pains to
instruct Lekoking in some of the facts of European
science but IN vain He obstinately persists in his
oriental notion Of the perfection of the human race
has idea of the march of mind and all that of
thing and IN spite of the testimony of his eyes,
still doggedly maintains that the world is not round
but as fiat pancake, and long from China
to New York.
Tsow-Chaoong is much more tractable and takes
great delight In the developments of the world
He is charmed with this country, and says he MEANS
after he has filed his three years engagement with
the proprietors of the Museum, to go to China and
see his father and mother and then come back here
and liye He is about % years DID, speaks Canton
English pretty nelligibly, and writes fair English
hand. We have before a specimen of Tsow-Cha-
oOngs chirography, which shows that he has already
made considerable proficiency in his European educa
ton.
The other one appears to be of humber rank, and
to have fewer Chinese pecularties. He comes, we
believe, in the capacity Of servant, and matter
of convenience has assumed the European dress.
They all visited Mr. Simpsons factory at Saxonyille
day two since, and were marvelously affected by
the operations of Yankee labor machinery.

New. POSTAGE LAw.-They trying in Alaba-
ma to get their Candidates for Congress pledged to
60 for repeating the new Post Office Law. Do you
know why
The old law required the Postmaster General to
carry the Mail in Post Coaches. Now, in Alabama,
and large part of the South, the principal stage
lines get an average of one passenger. Of course,
they cannot support themselves. But what does the
government dol 1t advertises for contract to car
ry the Mail from New Orleans to Pensacola, and va
rious other places in Post Coaches Of course, the
mail contractors make their bids high enought cover
the lchoie expenses Of running the Coaches. Thus the
people in Alabama Florida South Carolina, &c. &c.
get their Post Coaches run and paid for By GOrer-
Dient
Under the New Law the Postmaster General must
contract in the cheapest manner. On these routes it
viii be carried by post-riders This is the reason
why the folks down there do not like the law.-Cin.

"HoRsE ALIENS" FIRST CoURT-Judge Allen, or
as he is commonly called, Horse Allen, after
his appointment a Judge visited the court seat In
Gasconade Missouri. There had been several viola
tons of the law in that section, and the Horse was
determined that punishment should be inflicted. Ac-
cordingly, upon his arrival, after Sheriff. jury and
Witnesses had assembled, the first order of the Court
was that each and all should I" strip themselves, and
go to work and raise suitable tenelant in which
hold Its meetings. This the first building erected
for such purpose In the county WELL" aficr hard
work, number of logs, piled up together, made
to answer the purpose desired. The Court had come
to order and was proceeding with its legitimate bu-
siness, when some evil disposed person interrupted
the proceedings, and nsuted his Honor" by utter
ance of some broad and ungentlemany remarks
The Sheriff going with his business, calling
the of the jury when he interrupted by the
Judge with an order to adjourn the Court for fifteen
minutes ~ sagely observing, g that he thought it
would take about that time to complete the job The
Court adjourned, and the Judge descended from the
bench, at the same time drawing his bowie knife,
and advancing upon the fellow who had interrupted
the business of the law. The Judge, however, found
that his antagonist was not the man for him. armed
he was, so, throwing aside his weapon he pulled
off his coat, and to use his words, 60 gave him,
perhaps, the ds licking he had ever had In his life"
Putting and blowing with the exercise, the Judge re-
turned to the BENCH the expiration of the prescrib
ed tme and ordered the sheriff to convene the Court
again. 1t was done, whereupon, the :" Horse - ris
People!" said he, 81 am here to adludge the law,
and administer Justice, by thunder If you any,
thing about civilization, I'm ready to give you a
touch of it, by! As the Sheriff and his officers
are not enough, here am I-single handed-and if
any says he amt satisfied I'll adjourn the Court
again and give him chance 20

And most ingenious, wonderful thing it is and,
far as judge, perfectly efficient. We re-
striced from telling how Its operations performed,

its doIngs may speak, and surely there nothing
We can say that would 60 beyond its merits. Its ad-
vantages over Morse's telegraph are greater rapdty

person. For Morses telegraph there must be 6 per-
son at each end capable of ranslating the herogyph

the ordinary letters, arranges them in words and

say more at present, understanding that no very
long time will elaPse before the printing telegraph
will be open for everybody's inspection"
