HUsHED UF.-Some time since we men,
toned the fact that the citizens of Shaw
neetown had subscribed he sum OF $4,000
to be applied towards purchasing number
Of steam packets TO ply between that city
and Lafayette, and that an insialment of %
pr. ct. had been paid on that sum. We were
informed yesterday that committee ofthree
persons had been appointed TO make pur-
chase of suitable boats and to do this they
made a trip up the Ohio, but finding no boats
suited to the trade Tor sale Teturncd'to Shaw
neetown without purchasing. So, for the
present, this project is quoted.

There was quite 'muss" at St. Louis
last Saturday night: in consequence OF the
Bentonltes carrying in their procession a
transparency representing Clay prostate,
with old Benion's heel on his neck, aud other
insulting devices. 1t was stoned and torn tc
pieces, and some little fighting was the con.
sequence Lou. Courier.
Occupying the position Mr.. Clay does al
this time, an aged man battling for his coun
try and the Union, and assuming no partizar
position toward any man or set of men, h
who would insult him by such carricature
as that mentioned above, would publicly in
suit his own father, and should be ''stoned'
by every decent man. We hope these Ben
tontes got soundly thrashed.

DIED..

DIED,
OF Consumption, al the residence of his faith
er, in De kalb county, Tenn, or ;ne 10Th July,
John Handy Cutler, aged 20 years and months
-eldes, son Of Waldo and Mary V. Cutler.
The moral worth of this young man fordids
that the melancholy occurrence of his decease
should pass without brief notice; aside from
the tears of his relatives his acquaintance feel
that they have lost worthy friend and his asso-
ciates that they are beref. Of one Of their must
choice companions. Al a very early age he be-
came an ardent lover of the Sabbath School,
where he no doubt formed the basis of an exem-
plary moral character, and as he ripened into ma
tury, by system of industry and perseverance
acquired very good English ed.calion with but
slight advantages of schooling.
Prompt and energetic in his habits, he gave
universal satisfaction in all his business transac-
tions; free and sociable in his manners, he ever
gained the confidence and esteem of an extensive
circle of friends; benevolent in b S disposition,
the calls OF chaIity never passed unnoticed when
his means enabled him to afford relief.
He died as he had lived, a firm believer in the
Bible and its doctrines enjoying professed hope
that through the merits OF an infinite Redeemer
his sins were pardened and that he should, altho'
as brand plucked from The burning, rest in
mansion prepared for him e.-tCoAmuNIol-

the cholera broke out night before last, Oh

date vicinity of pond. Up to last night
there had been eight deaths, and several
persons were then laboring under severe at
lacks. The authorities should at once re-
move the nuisance in that neighborhood.-

glad to be able TO say, continue in the enjoy
ment OF good health.

One of the Signs

A friend Of ours was once called upon by
the sable Knight Of the Brush who BACKED
his boots, to paint him sign, that the pub
lie might read as they ran pas, Gumbo's Gel
lar, the different accommodations :. afforded
Said friend, who was very obliging, took a
marking pot and in ten minutes ground out
the following, which was daubed in large
letters upon a BOARD. GurA6o stuck up the
sign with emotions of pride that affected his
whole figure, while we took a copy of the
verse which yet blazes over Gumbo's cellar
Here it is:
Here pize and kakes and beer sell
And Oysturs stude and in the shell,
And frighed uns tue for them as chews
And with dispatch, and on de most scientific
principles, blacks butes and shews.

lfby any possible chance Mai. RS asser-
ton can be true, no one could more regret our
course, or labor harder to make amends, than
we. But we have charged him, and the Repub-
llcan has charged him, repeatedly, with wri-
ting for the Democrat-and the public has
taken it as an admitted truth that such was
the fact. Yet knowing this was injuring him
in the estimation of every respectable citizen,
he has never before, that we have heard, de-
MED the fact publicly or privately. Whether
his contempt ofpublic opinion was so creator
the preservation of his character a matter OF
such small Importance, we do not know. He
certainly could not have had so great a con-
tempt for the source of these charges as II
deem them unworthy of notice-because the
great source was the public itself. The Re-
publican which repeated the charge, is the
accredited organ of his own party. The
Journal has character which permits no man
to treat as coming from contemplate source,
any charge it makes. That it has some in
huence, we think Maj. Robinson will scarcely
deny after the election, whatever he may
have done before. We now say his denial
comes too late. he has not written any
thing for the Democrat, in the last six months,
then person employed within said time at
that office, has lied abominably. The Major
is pretty safe in asking for proof in matter
which can only be directly proven by man
whose oath the public would laugh at, and
who would never differ with him. In our
opinion, he never would have had the impu-
dence TO deny the fact, ifhe did not well know
the difficulty Of obtaining proof in matter
Of this kind and If he did not also know, that
since the recent indignation against the Dem
ocrat and its editor, public opinion was set,
Ting strongly against him, and promised tc
seriously injure. He dared not longer keep
silence. In every opinion the Democrat and
the Major agree-tl'ey are opposed to the
same men-the same men oppose them
The Democrat and Major Robinson opposed
the nominations Of their own party-they
fought on the same ground-and we may say
they died on the same ground. We nigh,
indeed point out some striking likenesses and
condolences between Them, which would
make the matter almost indisputable, that he
has been in the habit lately as formerly o.
writing for that paper. But it is idle to say
more. Contrary to the Major's word, we be-
lieve the fact, and in doing so we are with the
public.

SERVED HIM R'GHT.-Leah, the pretend
ed "Monk of La Trappe," who created such
a great excitement in ST. Louis last winter
by his lectures on the corrupiions Of nuns
monks and the Catholic church in general
recently attempted TO lecture on the same
subject in Racine, Wis. but was very prop
erly prevented from doing so by force. Thi:
fellow has already created several serious
disturbances in the West, and, as his lee
lures are calculated to do no good he should
be slenced.

Of his death: it is thought, had considerable
sum of money in his possession, as the day
previous he drew about Sl90 from the Bank

he had watch also. Neither money nor
watch was found on his dead body, nor could
anything be learned OF them. They were
stolen from him beyond doubt.

How PRINTERS ARE CHEATED.-The New

1890 subscribers. and thinks it has the best
paying list ofany political paper in the coun-
try, yet 700 owe for three years, 400 for FIVE
years, and 1000 for one year, making the ag-
gregate due the office $4,000. for their pa
per time and labor. This is the fashion with
which printers are cheated. Tie sNatiopai
lntelligeLcer is said to have over $500. 900
due that concern from lis subscribers. IL
shows how many fortunes are fleeced out Of
the profession. This proves how necessary
it is, that every person knowing himselfto be
indebted to the publishers of paper, should
remit the sum. no matter how small it IS. Tho
aggregate Of these small sums is all impor-
iant to the printer.
