Wings with the FreeSoilers. ithas been
falsely quoted as iavoring that scheme,
but after reading the following, we pre-

"But we repeat, what will the liberal
portion o. the Wbig party, in Ohio. do7
They are in favor Of the combination
already named. Many Of the most inhu.
entail Wing papers OF the Stale declare
for it. We mention the following as

able TO such movemnt, as we have never
even taken the trouble to notice il in any
way. The proposition wasreceived with
much GOODNESS by the Whig press gene
rally, that we thought there was little dan
ger Of its making any disturbance in our
ranks, and we have therefore permitted
it to pass without notice. Had we thought
there was the least likelihood that any
considerable portion OF the wings would
favor The proposed coalition, wa should
have been very prompt and earnestin de-
nouncing il. In this portion Of the State
there i1, happily, no inclination whatever
among the Wings to surrender to fac.
ton which has shown itself more expert
in bargaining and intriguing Tor Office al
Columbus, than in anything else, and
whose violent exerions, just now, are
made solely with reference 10 the election
OF man to the Senate, who upon all ma
tiona questions is us much Of Locoioco
as any man inthe Senate,
The game these men are playing is
easily seen through. Last year they la
bored earnestly in cooperation with the
Pierce party u defeat lhe Wings, and
this year they are laboring with equaI
earneslness to defeat the Pierce party;
and to do it, impudenily ask the aid o.
the Wings, while thsytell them they need
not expect to share in whatever benefits
may accrue from success. The efforts o
each campaign had the same object--tht
reelection Of certain gentleman to the

The Pores BuLL-This name, which
is now applied exclusively to Instruments
issuing out OF the Roman Chancery. is
derived from the seals which were appen-
ded TO them, being formerly Of gold
bullion. Bulls were not originally con-
fined to popes alone, but were also issued
by emperors, princes. bishops, and
great men, who, I'LL the thirteenth centu'
ry. some times affixed seals OF metal, as
well as wax, to edicls, characters, and
other instruments. though they were
equally called Bulls whether they
were sealed with one or the other. The
popes continue TO the present day TO
affix metal or lead seals to their bulls, and
only when they wish TO bestow any pc
cuIiar marks Of grace and favor on soy
ereigns or princes are seals of bullion OF
gold affixed. The bull OF Pope Clement
VII, conierrirg The title Of defender Of
The Faith on Henry VIII, had seal oI
gold affixed 10 it. Bulls containing mat
ter Of hrace and favor. were suspended
| by strings ofred and yellow silk; but de-
nunciatory and preventive bulls were
hung by hempen cords.

A BLACK LEAD MINE.--A mine OF
|pIumbago or black lead has been worked
! for few years pastin N. Hampshire, and
supplies, to some extent. the New York
market, The following is an account OF
the discovery;
In April, l848, Mr., Moses Carleton,
of Lancaster, Mass, having heard that
black lead had been discovered in Nelson,
N. H., a town lying twelve miles cast Of
Keene, went there TO see what cold be
found He found the lead to be Of good
quality, and thinking there might be con,
siderable of it, bought Of the owner all
the ores and minerals Of every description
on forty acres with the right and privilege
to carry on the mining business to the best
advantage that he could were he owner
of the land, for which he paid Sl55.--
Mr. Carleton got out about five tons the
first season. Finding the lead was well
liked and would sell ready at Sl00 pei
ton, he concluded TO go into the manuiac-
ture more extensively. The second sea.
son he got out 40 tons, which he sold fol
about VA 900. The business has been in.
crossing every year up to the presenttime
Last year there were 65 tons taken from
the mine this season, from April, !, 70
October, 100 tons, and fthey continue te
work until the lst Of December, which i
the time the cold weather usually com
pels them TO leave, there will be from l5(
TO i40 tons taken out, employing abou
eight men per day, with one yoke Of OK
en-. Over 60 toms of the lead taken from
the mine this season has already been sem
to New York, and sold, on an average,
for $l00
The freight per ton from Nelson tc
Keene, is Sl,25, from Keene to New
York, SO. The freight paid upon the pro
duct Of this mine this season will not b.
far from $500.

a
We make tie following extract from me
Scientific American, paper of,high al-
therity. on the subject oflightning rods
a subject 10 which too little attention IS
given BY our citizens: sa
I'VE believe the round rod is just as
good as the square one, and solid section,
no, the surface, is the main object. The
most important questions TO be asked are,
what is the smallest diameter of rod that
will suffice to form good conductor. and
what size of building (area) will one
rod protect.' The last question is not
easy TO answer. Unless The chimneys Of
house are very near together, branch
rod should be erected on each, extending
two feet above them, and vertical branch
points two feet above the roof should be
placed within twenty feet Of one another
1t is no easy matter 10 tell the size OF the
last cross section that will answer. e.
Merriam, who has devoted much atten.
tion 10 the subject. asserts that No. 10 iron
wire is sufficient. and that 100 feet OF il
can be purchased for one dollar. lrion
wire FIVE. sixteenths Of an inch in diam.
eter. is the size used for our large public
armed ships, and these have never failed
TO sfford protection TO the ship and TO al
on board.
As copper wire is eight times bette
conductor than iron, we prefer it. !
costs only fifty cents per pound, and
good and perfect conductor made Of cop
per wire can be put up for one shilling
per foot. Excellent insulators can b.
made Of wooden elects vanished, pain
ted, or boiled in oil, nailed with iron nail
covered with wax or varnish) 10 the bull
ding. and merely having holes bored il
them for the wire 10 pass through. Fh'
copper wire will last ten times longe
than iron one; it should be pointed will
file, and not hammered We feel NJ
hesitancy IN speaking OF copper wire a
being cheap and reliable conductor, ant
we would trust TO section Of it not NOR
than three.eights Of an inch thick in pre-
ference TO an iron wire OF at least twlc
the diameter There is not man in ou
land who cannCt erect his own Lightning
conductor, there being no great amour
of science or art required; care and al
tenton, with what we have said on tn
subject. will enable any man 10 put U
his ownd tightening rod"

Newspapers.


Itappears that the first regular news
paper originated in Germany, in the year
1919. 1t was called Account of what
has happened in Germany. Italy, Spain
and France, the East and West Indies,
&C.
Three years after, that is 1915, the
Frankford Journal, was founded. Thus
it appears we are indebted to Germany
for the invention of newspapers, as well
as the art Of printing.
Fora number of years, the honor Of the
first printed newspaper was claimed for
England, and the English Mercury is the
paper on which the claim is founded
Three numbers Of it are now preserved
in the British Museum; the first regular
newspaper published in England, appears
to be The CeHtein News of this Present
Week published August 1922, by Ma
thaniel Butler. The place Of publication
is not given in any Of the works we have
examined, but in all probability London
was the city.
The pioneer in newspaper literature in
pur own country was the Boston News
Letter, which first appeared in l7o4.
At the present time, the most intiuen'
tal, finished and expensive newspaper ii
| the world, is the Daily London lines
Our own country far outstrips every 9TH
er in newspaper literature. This veal
there are about three thousand newspa
pers and magazines published. The
number Of sheets issued will reach the in
credible sum of about GOO, 100000.

LOVE AND RoIANcE-We published
few days ago, says the New Orleans
Crescent, a short sketch with the above
title. II gave the details Of a romantic
elopement and marriage, the parties be'
ing a lady and gentleman from Texas.
A day or Two after the happy par had
tied The knot hymenial, the brother Of the
young lady arrived in this city from Tex
as, and for the. first time heard Of the
event. He Immediately went 10 the 81.
Charles Hotel, where the young lady
wasstopping in company with Mrs, II.
and her daughter, both from the same
State, in es&hose charge the bride had
been placed on her departure from home.
Meeting Mrs, H. in the parlor of the Ho-
tel, he upbraided her with having lent her
countenance to she secret marriage ol
his sister, applying to her some very
harsh epithets hot set down in the code
Of etiquette. This aroused the ire ol
Miss H., young and blooming virgin Of
seventeen summers, vino Immediately
approached the rate brother, and sna'
King against his face 'her while and tiny
fist, swished she was man oreven had
weapon that she might kill him for his
impetinonce," @
Nothing daunted by her threatening
attitude, the Initiated brother OF the bride
drew from his bosom bnwie knife, and
handing it 10 ihe juvenile Xanlippe, said
"Take this, Miss, and lei me see if you
are laily Of your word" With all the
fire Of demon the young lady grasped
,he shining blade, and drawing il bpck
with movement as if to plunge il into
his breast, was about TO deal the fata
blow, when she was prevented by gen
teman visitor who srasped her arm.
We mention ibis merely asan instance
Of "irue grit " on both sides, and as Q
tale of reality, setting off . very pretty
specimen of the romantic Er.
To our taste there was more OF devil
ishness than romance in the affair.
