tbs following from the Sandusky Register,
other cities, towns and villages:
For some time past it has been notorious
that drunkenness, gambling and violence
were on the increase in Sandusky. Every
one sees it-knows it and remarks it. Itwere
worse than cowardice-it would be criminal,
to "blink" this matter and we feel bound to
speak out. Go where you will over the Town
and you encounter drunken men-often drunk
en- women: upon the thorough-fares as we'll
as upon retired walks. A Groggery turks
upon nearly every corner, and dram sellers
are glutting their purses with the money Of
the miserable wretches who steal the very
food from their childrens' mouths in order to
pay for liquor.

$50 EXEMPTION.

The Assessors are now on their rounds
leaving their "blanks," with everybody, so
that everybody may note down jus, how much
"personal property" they have on hand and
subject to taxation. Everything is taxed
"nearabout,"- then you are generously
allowed to deduct $50 from the aggregate.
How the Locofocos show led over the oppres-
sions Of the "Whig tax law" few years a.
60! 1t was the most oppressive enactment,
If they were to be believed, which had ever
crushed and impoverished a people-though
the exemptions were so numerous as to re-
lieve every family living in a plain, comfort
able way, of the burden of taxation on their
household furniture. But now $50 is the lin
it Of the Locofoco exemption-scarcely any
thing escapes, except your hat and boots
and not single whisper of complaint is heard
from these incensed patriots, who boiled over
with indignation because o: the oppression OF
the old Whig law. We wish the people OF
this county, especially those whom the Lo-
cofoco papers and stumpers SO earnestly be.

ECLECTIC SERIES.

This series of school books is becoming
very popular in our county. We ere glad Of
this, for it looks like we might, after while,
have uniformity in ext books. We think
this everlasting change Of text books one Of
the most villainous sVindlss of the day. With
every change of teacher our citizens have
been heavily taxed for new books. This tas
is >greater than our school tax, and with q
large number Of persons, greater than all thei
taxes pat together. Our own case will show
the operation Of this matter. Wehsd recent
" purchased some six or eight dollars wortl
OF school books, on new change OF text books

TOM CORWIN.

Cassius M. Clay's abuse Of Tom Corwin
has been generally republished in the locofo-
co papers. This we considered all natural-a'
II was the alment SO congenial to their Wit ia
ted natures. We did not consider it at all
necessary to make defense against Clay's
abuse-indeed it is almost beneath the dig
nifty Of Wing of Ohio to do SO. Our Tom has
stood up manfully before the combined batter
les of abuse of both branches of the so-called,
but misnamed Democracy" and their shafts
of envy and malice have fallen harmlessly at
his feet. But We have thought it right to let
our readers see what another of the free
democracy says of Our Tom--and in another
column will be found the remarks of DR.. BAL.
LY, of the National Era. to which we direct
the attention Of our readers.

Thrilling Narative-.NobIe Slaves.

Circumstances now and then occurrence
in life time it may be-which seem to exalt
individuals from the humblest walks of life to
a level with those heroes whose career has
illustrated the noblest virtues Of humanity.
Such were our reflections while listening
to the narrative ofan occurrence in the Fourth
District short time since.
1t will be recollected that ten days ago q
boy was drowned by the utsetting of boat,
and his companions rescued. The facts are
these: On the night of the occurrence four
boys, between the ages of seven and sixteen
took possession of canoe in the vicinity oi
the cattle landing in Jefferson City, for noe
turnal excursion. The night was intensely
dark, and most of the dwellers round about
had retired to rest. Shortly after a cry o.
distress, frantic and lound, was waited on the
Silly air. People leaped from their beds, ant
soon the levee, about Eight street, was throng
ed by anxious listeners. "For Gods sake
send boat for US: we are little boys, and
drowning. We can't hold on much longer
Oh! help u.s."
Such were The cries that carried dismay t.
heart of every listncr on the land g. on boar,
the shipping. Skiffs were there in abundanc,
and each by lock and chain. The solitar,
watchman on board the ship stood appalled,
He was incompetent without the aid Of crew
to lower the boat. Fainter grew the cry.
was evident to all that the tragedy drew nes
its announcement. Atthis moment is so hap
pened that two slaves, belonging to Mr.. Eor
tier, near Carrollton, who had been permitte
to come to the city in a skif, deeply ladel
with the product OF their gardens, with viev
to traffic, were aroused from their slumbers il
little nook among the shipping. where guard
ing their (to thcm) valdabie cargo they ha
sought harbor for the night. They hstene

take from OUT library all the school books that
were not now In use. The result was, that
she took out no less than 0c.y-ssty-seoen vol.
ums, which were dead stock on hand. True,
on change Of our teachers, many Of these
may come into use--but those now used will
have to take their places, among the rejected.
Il Is time this swindle was stoppcd-and II
no other way can effect Il, we hope II may be
done by law. The Eclectic Series Is very
good one, and It's uniform adoption would save
our citizens the useless expenditure Of hun.
dreds Of dollars. See adv.

PRICE OF CHURCH PEws.-The pews OF
Presbyterian church recently built in the
Fifth avenue, New York, were sold at auc-
ton and brought prices ranging from $3.50
to $500 each. Ninety-nine pews were sold
in one evening for $s5,25O, being $l4,7OC
more than their appraised value.-Erchange.

New York Independent snys John Smith has
run away with another mans wife-and the

and his lady recently sailed for California on
