Reproof.

Reproye mildly and sweetly. IN the
calmest manner. in the g~entlest terms-not
in a naughty or imperious way. nor hastily
or fercely, nor with sour looks. or in Bit
ter language, for these ways do beget all
the evil, and hinder the best effects OF re-
proof. They do certainly infiame and
disturb the person reproyed; they breed
wrath, disdain and hatred against the re-
prover-but do not so well enlighten the
man to see his error. or affect him with
kindly sense OF miscarriage. or dispose
him to correct his fault. Such reproots
look rather like the wounds and persecu-
lions of enmity than as remedies minis
tered by . friendly hand; they harden
men SO much, they scorn to mend on such
occasions. II reproof doth no. SAVIOR Of
humanity it signifeth nothing; i, must be
like a hitter pill wrapped in gold, and tenn,
pered with sugar, Otherwise it will not 60
down. or work ef~fectually.

Butler, he made such demonstrations that
the Professor retreated and made his es.
cape out OF a window The scholars in
the school room were also scattered in all
directions by the display Of such warlike
instruments in their midst.
Mr.. M. F. Ward and Robert ]. Ward,
Jr., were promptly arrested and lodged in
Jail, and as the affair will undergo a ju-
dicial investigation, we forbear narrating
the particulars.
MIR. Butler was one OF the best and most
inoffensive men in the world, and we can
appreciate the anguish of his friends ut his
being SO untimely cut off and in such a
manner. The affair is generally regard
ed as of a most atrocious and unprovoked
character, and when it became known, the
deepest indignation prevailed throughout
the city.
The Ward family is n Of the wealth.
lest and most prominent in Kentucky.
The Wheeling Gazette says the account
of the murder oil Prot. Butler is the more
narrowing to the finer feelings of a man oil
reflection from the standing and family in
huence of the murderer. Mr.. Ward is a
brother OF Miss Sallie Ward that was. who
married the son of Hon. Abbot Lawrence,
OF Boston, and was afterwards divorced.
and he seems to have the same character
istics as those which she exhibited to the
utter establishment of her Boston relatives,
Mr.. NJ. F. Ward is a married man, and
has, we learn, achieved some reputation
as a writer. His youngest brother, VIM.
Ward, was punished by the teacher. He
reported the fact to his brother. who went
to the school-house and deliberately shot
his victim to the heart. Ward was appre.
hended and together with a brother, who
was with him, was lodged in Jail, and we
trust will receive the full penalty of the Law
for their transgression. A friend, who
read the account of this tragedy, on Sat.
urday, informed US that he was at Louis
Vile some Is years ago. and this NJ. F
Ward was slightly punished by the teach
er for some offence. and his father wal
with difficulty dissuaded from cowhidins
the teacher. This is the way to rear VI
murderers for the gallows.

Operations Of the Mint.

statement Of the operations Of the Mint:

shows a total coinage Of $3,01I .926. ex-.
elusive Of $3.5I5,236 in bars. The total
value Of silver passing through the Mint
was $500 .088. Of the gold coinage,
which. however, was only $1.8Ol .e26,
nearly one-half was in small gold-quar.
Ter eagles and dollars. The silver coinage
was larger than for any month in some
years. reaching $l.2lO.OOo, principally
in quarter-dollars. The demand for small
change is thus being rapidly supplied.
The deposites for the month were $4,327.-

Result Of the Ohio Election.

We publish this week an abstract of the
vote of the State, for all State officers, at the
rcccntelcction. Wealso publish atableshow-
ug thc-comparatiye vote, this year, for Gov
ernor, and that for President in 1892.
1t will be seen that the majority for Med
i'll, over his highest opponent, Is 6l,S43; for
Movers over Allen, p 100 Barney over An
drevs. 22,35S The highest vote is for Dr.
rreyitt, Secretary Of State, I5I ,232. MedllrS
majority over both Barrerea and Lewis l,497.
Mr. MedilrS vote, however, is less than Piercc's
at the last Presidential election, by 2I,557.
So that his great majority is owing not to an
increaseof Democratic votes, but to the greater
falling of, of the Wing vote.
The entire vote, this wear, for Governor, IS
2s3,829. For President last year, 353,428.
Being falling off of 69,599. Mrdiifs vote
is2I,5 less than Picrce'> Barrere's SO ,706
less than Scots; Lewiss, 1860 more than
Uale's.
The Ohio State Journal, in It's comments
on the result, says:
ut is we'll understood that twenty or thirty
thousand Wings voted for LEWIS on the
Temperance question. This fully explains
the increase in his vote"
Mr.. Rarrcres vote, 1t will be seen by cX
aiming the table, is about 1000 less than
the average of the whig state ticket. Deduct
from the last mentioned number, the bunker
wings who this year voted the Democratic
ticket, and You Will have the number Of wings
Who voted for Lewis on the temperance
question"
Mr. MediIl, it will be seen, runs about $500
behind the Democratic State Ticket showing
probably, the number Of Temperance Demo
Gratis who voted for Lewis.
The average vote ofthe Independent Dem
ocratic ticket, except for Governor, is "a, 411 ;
being a gam of 2,795 over the vote for Hale.
Ii viii be noted that this Is an Increased vote
for the Independent Democratic Ticket, not
outstanding, the falling off Of about 10000
in the aggregate vote With as full a vote
as that given at the Presidential election, our
ticket, with a relative increase, would have
been over 10000.
The result is highly encouraging 10 ON
friends. and indicative Of the progress OF oul
cause.
The vote Of Henry county has not yet beer
received at the Secrotary's office; and rs the
time specified by law is passed, it will not b
included in the official canvass. The vote
for Governor, in Henry, is taken from the Of
fetal canvass published in the papers.
