lecturer. Let there be a general turn out. While
our neighboring counties are doing much to
improve our public schools-the great depend
ence ofthe people for education-let not Old Por-
tage be behind.
We are under the necessity OF de-
laying several articles which we had in
tended to publish this week. The Congress
sional proceedings are unavoidably crowd
ed out. They contain but little of impor.
tance or interg. and probably will not till
after the holidays are over, when we will
endeavor to keep our readers advised o.
their doings.

Heart-rending Calamity!

FALL OF A BUILDING ENIEEN LIVED
Losr!!!
The following account of the terrible ca
lamity, which it is our painful duty TO re-
cord this morning, is from an eye witness.
Many of our citizens will recognize old
friends and associates among those who
have been SO suddenly hurried into eterni-
ty.
On the night of the 18th inst, at about
10 O. clock, just as they were prepareing
to go to bed, thirty.two persons who had
taken refuge from the flood in the great
new brick building, at the late Fourier
Settlement, (the water having reached the
second foor,) heard the building beginning
to give way, and discovered that the ,oalls
we're falhng' Some jumped out into the
water, whilst those that remained were
crushed and buried in the ruins.
In about five minutes the whole of that
beautiful fabric, was shapeless mass ol
immersed ruins, with but fifteen of its in.
mates breathing the breath of life!-SEV.
ENTFEN HAVING FOUND A TOMB!
Not murmur or groan was heard from
the crushed and smothered victims, for the
water swept darkly and deeply over them.
The dim moonlight looked down calmly
and undisnrbed upon the wreck that over
whelmed the unseen dead, while the heart
rending cries from the living echoed fear
fully in the hills.
In about ten minutes after the crash, two
skifs, one from Utopia, town short dis
lance above, arrived and rescued the almost

the building, had taken refuge upon drift

in this city as lecturer, last winter at the

GETTING THEIR EYES oPEN.-The doc-
trine of ':no more territory" has seemed to
take extremely we'll with the wings in all
sections of the Union; but recently some
of their papers at the north have begun to
find out the object and design of those who
have sought to force them into the support
Of this issue. We extract the following
from an article IN the Western Reserve
Chronicles:
- "This question Of no territory is
got up by shareholders to gull the free peo.
pie Of the north and arrest their attention
from the question Of slavery. Let this not
be said Of us. Let us fall into no snares set
by slaveholders." ..

In an article BON the doings of the Leg
islature, in the Ohio Press, of the 2Sd inst,
we find the following: ..
"In the House, Mr.. Holcomb from the
majority of the committe on corporations,
reported back Mr.. Russell's preamble and
resolution, endorsing the Ohio Banks and
papermoney generally, with recommen-
dation in favor of its passage. Capt. Nc.
Lean, the whig representative Of Athens
and M.igs, rose and surprised the House
by dechring himself opposed to the whole
mass ofBanks. He had held other opin-
ions once, but his experience Of their want
of patriotism had taught him differently.
He related in the course of his remarks,
the fact, hat when the Ohio Volunteers
were about to proceed to Mexico, they Of
fered the best security to the Life and Trust
Company for discounts, but the bank re-
jected Their security, and sent them penni-
less to fight the battles of their country,
while others less deserving, were freely al
lowed bank favors. The gallant Captain
declared that having discovered the hostili-
ty of banks to the honor and rights of their
country, he could no longer sustain them.
He offered documentary evidence to the
House to exhibit the extent of bank frauds
upon the people, and concluded his remarks
very little to the satisfaction of the MAORI

How Banks make Money plenty.

One of the ostensible objects for which
the paper money system has been created,
we are told, is to make money or capital
plenty-to give an impulse 10 business,
and create the means for the purchase of
the surplus products of our State. Is this
true? A simple reference to the semi-an-
nual report ofthe banks will disprove the
correctness OF this assertion. And, on the
contrary, we assert, and assert boldly, too,
that banks of ejaculation make money or
capital scarce, as the following facts and
figures, taken from the report of the bank
ers themselves, will most fully demonstrate
For instance they report their coin, at
$4,000, 446 IS
Deposits, 4,268, Az AZ
Deposits in the East, 2,339,695 81
Total amount locked up, $3.l13 ;5s5 O5
Deduct from this the amount
of circulation, which they
report at $7,s21 ,67s so
Excess locked up over their
circulation, $3.50. 9O6 30
Here, according to their own statements,
they prove, most conclusively, that they
have reduced or decreased the amount OF
capital or money, nearly eight hundred
thousand dollars in Ohio. And such has
been the effects Of this system, in its palmi-
est days, throughout the Union. In 1887,
when paper money had its highest circula-
tion, the amount ofdeposits and coin report
ed o be in the vaults of the banks, by the
bankers themselves, exceeded their circula-
ton more than sixteen millions of dollars.
But suppose, for the argument sake, that
they did create capital or make money
plenty; what confidence could the public
repose in system Of banking, whose i'm
mediate means exceed their immediate lla'
bilities nearly ten millions of dollars!
Let the farmer-the mechanic-the
day laborer reflect upon these things, and
ask himself what safety there is for him to
exchange his hard earned property for such
worthless trash.-.M. Vernon Banner.
0We believe that the Mexicans fought
our soldiers ut Puehla, on election day, on
purpose TO keep them from voting. AS
they had no vote themselves, they thought
the only way they could help their federal
friends was, to keep the. democrats fight
ing.-Pensyluania paper.
