ATTEMPT AT SUIoIDE.-On Monday Even
ing at Ball given at Rsnch's Saloon by
German company young man whose name
has not been given US, precipitated himself
from the Sd story window, head-foremost in
10 the cellarway-breakins his jaw bone in
two places, and severely fracturing the
stairway! The slight Of his lady love in re-
fusing 10 dance with him is supposed TO have
driven him to the rash act He was other
wise badly injured, but we understand he is
in fair way to recover both from the wounds
of the head and heart.-DaytOn Empire.

Er Among the passengers who arrived
yesterday in the Hibernia, was Mr.. Hsaly,
the young American artist. He is commits
stoned by Louis Philippe to take for him the
portraits of Gen. Jackson, John @. Adams,
Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and some other
distinguished Americans. We understand
that he will proceed at once TO the Hermi-
tags, as the precarous health of Gen. Jack
son may render him too unwsll TO sit, should
there be any dslay.-Boston Advertiser
The New Posr-orFICE BALANCE.-The
Postmaster-Genera has selected, the United
States Journel says, from a vast number Of
models, after patient and careful investiga-
tion, the balance of Messrs. Stephenson, Ho-
ward 81 Davis, of Boston. 1t is as simple
as Fairbanks small balance, very much like
it in principle and appearance, and so gra-
duated as to stand unmoved when half
ounce letter is placed upon it, but kicks The
beam when straw is added to it.
GEAUGA BANK-The stockholders of the
Bank of Geauga held meeting at Panes-
vile on the 29llt., and elected Ralph Cowls,

badly be in about four weeks.-ClepeIsnd

TIE ST. CLAIR BANK.-The Newark
Constitutionsalist in speaking of this rag fac
tory, says
There is scarcely an individual, rich or
poor, in this region, who has not more or
less of this money on hand-many find
themselves with hundreds, and some even
with thousands of dollars of il, and few have
any other money. The disastrous conse-
quences of this explosion, to the people of
our country, no one can calculate, and it
will be long before they can recover from
it.n
"No SCHULZ TACKs."-The newspapers
of Pennsylvania and Ohio are making merry
over the memorable ballot which bore the
above inscription. Most of these papers
charge the disgrace upon Columbia county

Centre township, with a standing whig ma
jority rising 10, must acknowledge the corn.
We hope our brethren will put the matter
right.-Ohio Patriot.
