eminent physicians 10 BIO a certain and speedy

in the Marine Hospital al Savannah. Ga, BY Dr.

The Taxing Power.

"Is it no, most palpable, that if We tax
Ohio stock in the hands Of our citizens,
,ha, we merely offer premium to haze it
held abroad? 1t cannot be reached in the
hands of toreigners,at all."-Cin. Chron-
icle.
1t can't eh? Does not Great Britain now
collect tax off of every dollar Of her
Stocks, whether held in or out Of Great
Britain. The holder in New York pays
just as much as the holder in London.
Nc body Of men, except the United
States Wings, dares doubt the power and
right of Government to tax all property
equally alike for its support, The Ameri-
can arisiocrat always gel kinks into his
brains about equality of rights and vested
rights that no other people are silly enough
TO egitate.
The propristy taxation,or the Justice
Of excluding certain property, is the only
thing to be considered. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world for the State 10 with
hold the tax out Of the nterest.-Ohio
Statesman.

Distressing Case.

Mrs. Sophia Cross, Of this place, recent.
ly married 10 man by that name, who
deserted her not long since, few weeks
ago became much depressed in spirits, if
not partially deranged, in consequence of
this deser,ion and suddenly left the resi-
dence of her parents one day. Nothing
was heard of her for over week, when,
one morning in the early part Of last week,
she was found a short distance from town.
sitting near hay stack. It is supposed
that she had been on top Of the hay stack
the greatest part Of nine days, ensconced
in the hay. We are informed she return.
cd to the house Of her parents on the Thurs
day evening preceding her discovery; but
finding her parents Mr.. and Mrs Myers)
absent, who had gone to New Castle, in
search Of her, she again returned 10 the
hay slack. 1t rained that day, and very
cold weather succeeded. The presumption
is that she got her feet wet. as they were
so much frozen that modification ensued
and entered her legs 10 such an extent that
II became necessary TO amputate both legs
above the knee. The opperatlon was per.
formed by Drs. Wood and Farrell, assisted
by Dr.. Harmon and others, while the pa
tient was under the influence of chloroform.
Her recovery is considered extremely
doubtful .-IrumbuH Co. Democrat.

Then on the point Of his own fancy falls,
And feels q thousand deaths in fearing one:
But in his case Death approached sho.n Of all
his terrors, took him gently By the hand, and
led him from the world!
He smiled as he went, and seemed to nuss,
''How strange is death!
Death and IT'S brother, Sleep!
One pale as yonder waning moon,
With lips of lurid blue,
The other rosy as the morn,
When throned on oceans wave,

Yet, both, how passing wonderful"

Wages in Ireland.

A, the petty sessions, lately held at Kan.
turk, Ireland, an Irish farmer, Green by
name was summoned by one of his labor.
ers for the sum of one shilling and sixpence
which, we might suppose, repr esented a
days work. Il appeared, however, that it
was claimed for three weeks work done al
the rate Of one penny per diem during
harvest time-for eighteen days eighteen
pence. There was no dispute about the
fact Of The labor being performed,the farm
er's reluctance being grounded on the ex'
orbtant character of tho demand. Mr..
Greco declared that he should never have
thought Of engaging starvellng like the
complainant Walsh at that money, when
he could get the bes. men in the country
for as little. He could bring witness to
prove that the wages really convenanted
for were one half penny per 1cssk: it was
purely a commercial question; he had
made bargain, Us he averred in accord
ance " th the state of the labor market in
that locality, taking into consideration the
capacities of Walsh; he considered that a
bal gain was a bargain, and ought to be kep';
finally he tended three half pence as the
amount of the legitimate claim. Astound-
ed by such an offer, the magistrates de-
manded of Walsh what he had obtained in
the way Of food from his employer. They
received for apswer as follows: "Whilst

Snow IN OHlo.-Not in the memory Of
the oldest inhabitants has snow fallen so
deep as it now lays upon our broad bot.
toms. From every part Of the State we
hear Of snow banks. The locomotives on
the little Miami and Sandusky Rail Road
have been for the lost two days butting
down snow heaps. A locomotive in rear
Of the train, ran into and demolished one
of the passenger cars, but injured no one.
Two passenger trains ran off the track, ,and
freight trains had to carry passengers into
Sandusky.
The cars from Shelby did not arrive till
late on Tuesday night, being detained sew.
erol hours on the downward trip. They
were three hours getting three miles be-
tween Berea and Olmsted. When they
came into town accompanied by two loco-
motives, the whole train ran through the
depot, without waiting the usual opening of
doors. The track was too slippery to
check the speed Of the train until brought
up in this way.
1, has generally bsen supposed that Ohio
would escape all snow encumbrance to rail
road locomotion, but it seems not. How
ever, such state of things may not occur
again in a cen,ury.-Plain Dealer.

BEFORE AND AFTER ELEcrloN.-The
Detroit Tribune, whig organ in Michi-
gan, before the recent election, was fairly
rabid in its denunciation of the fugitive
slave law, but since the election, after its
object is effected .as far as could be,it preach
es loyal adherence to this law. The O.
hio State Journal, when the law first made
its appearance, incucated contemptuous
disregard of it; but now advocate the en-
forcement of the law, even by military CO.
ercion. Such is Northern whiggery. So
says the Milwaukee Advertiser Detroit
Free Press.
There is paper 'in this neck of woods,
that used to denounce the law before cleo
ton, and expended all its powers of logic
in endeavoring to excuIpate the Wing par.
ty and Wing President from all responsible.
