DIsCONTENT.
by D. &. cRIppEs.

Too long, too long are the weary hou's
In passing when sorrows oppress
Too soon. TOO soon glide the welcome hours
Away when sweet pleasures caress'
Too long, too long are the moments 'ha'
Slowly by when our friends are away;
Too soon, TOO soon, when with those we
Glide the moments in seeming dsmay.
Too long, too long is the winter sky
Oer.cast with dusky gloom;
Too soon, too soon does the summer fit
by,
Sadly faded its heart cheering bloom
Too long, too long are the years that roll,
As thro' life we so wearily plod;
Too soon, ah! too soon do we reach the goal
Which leads 10 the presence OF God.

A NEGRO WOMAN WITHOUT EARs.-Rev.
B. Fl. Benton, in letter to the Loudon (Va.)
Chronicle, says he saw colored woman with
out ears; not only was she without the au-
ricle or the external part of the ear, but there
is no trace of foramen or passage for sono-
rous vibraton-the meatus is entirely closed,
vet she can converse with others, anG dis
tnctly hear their words, for which purpose
she opens her mouth. Now is the SOUND
transmitted to the brain by means of the tym-
pannm, or does it act on the auditory nerves
without the intervention of the drum and ap-
pendent organs.

Gen. o. Hinton.

BY an article In this paper, from the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, readers will learn that tho ;,d;
vidual who heads this article was arrested ON We'd
nesday the 18th ultimo, for robbing tho mail ond
through the careessness of the guards placed around
him, has escaped, and up to this time is at LARGO
prepared to commit further depredations o.
In order to bring this man more wildly to the re-
collection of the citizens of this county, we COPY the
following moroccan from the Wooster Democrat of
June 221, 1913. The article highly compliments
the General -
'sWHIe MEErINc.-The wings of the town of Wooster
and vicinity, held large and enthusiastic meeting in the
Monday last, for the purpose of organizing
Rough and Ready Club.
Chair and appointing I. T. Eckart, Secretary A commit
of five appointed to draft Constitution and Rules
The meeting then ably and etoquetfy addressed by
Gen. HINTON, of Delaware. The LOUD LONG, RE-
gave abundant proof Of the SATISFACTION OF The
AUDIENCE WITH THE SPEECH, and their deep en-;
nell calculated apaen the sum6ing energies Of the h,gs
and inspire them 'rit! "c~ life he meeting adjourned to
Now, at the risk of being charged with making
political capital out of Gen. Hntons recent transac
tons, we will say that while here on the occasion
referred to by neighbor, he took great pride in
abusing the Democratic party in his speech, in sy
ling Polk and his Cabinet officers set of plunderers
and robbers-in reiterating the contemplate lie
bout Gen. Cass drawing more extra pay than he was
entitled TON telling the audience that Col WeRer
had squandered the Butler County Fund, ard IN vii
lfyng every man that politically differed with him.
We we'll remember all this, and great deal more
all of which met the loud, Tong and repeated okeers
of the Wooster Wings.
Since Gen. Hintons frauds have come to light tho
wing papers to have holy horror against men
tioning the fact that he was wing leader and made
whig speeches. And well they may, for we do not
remember of Democrat ever being guilty of such
an outrageous act as this wing stumper has been
But it is too late for them to cry stop" The whg
charges about the McNulty transaction too fresh
in the minds of the people to keep silent the Hin
ton robbery. The infamous lies of 4S, told about
Col Weller being defaulter to the Butler County
Treasury, yet remembered the Patrick Collins
matter has not followed him to the grave, and the
repeated whg assertions relative to guiotined DEM
ocratic postmasters being in arrears to the govern
ment, will never cease. Hence, no rea
son why the democratic party should not retaiater
and hur back upon the wing party that Gen. Hnto4s
is Wing leader, and upon Mat party must the od"ns
of his recent transactions rest
P. S. Since the above was in type we learn that
Gen Hinton has been re-taken, and committed to Jail
in default of $4,000 bail. If justice is done him,
he will be sent to the Penitentiary for twenty years

A Geographic despatch to the Charleston Courier,
dated N Orleans, Sept. 22d, says that adviccs from
Texas to the 5th inst state that Gov BELL of Texas
had vetoed the bill requiring him to submit to the
popular vote the proposition from the United States
Government, regarding the purchase of portion of
her territory, The Governor was sustained by the
House. The bill was lost, and the Legislature ad-
iourned to the third Monday in November next"
1t is probable, that by Gov. BELL being sustained
it is meant that the House failed to pass the bill by
the constitutional majority so as to overrule the
Governors veto
