The CITY CANvAss.-Ihe contest wakes
warm as the day OF election approaches. Most
of the candidates for popular favor appear to la
bour under the impression that much yet remains
to be done, and are bestirring themselves accord
ingly. Adams Valley will be explored from the
Old Market House to the Meadow Bridges Road
by gentlemen who have hitherto been strangers
to that beautiful and picturesque portion of the
city. The region, too. known in vulgar parlance
as "Screamersville," will receive due attention
the ''sovereigns" who live the suburbs will
suddenly become impressed with their own i'm
eortance; and great will be the amazement of
many to find how well they known by 'sfne
city gentlemen" who only call once year TO en-
quire nfter the health of themselves and families.
The workshops OF mechanics will be invaded. and
tickets containing all sorts of combinations, will be
thrust into the pockets of the working men.
with the request that they may be taken homo
and if found acceptable, that they will be forth
coming, property endorsed, on Wednesday next.
at the polls. These, together with countless
other similar expedients, will be resorted to for
the purpose of winning the sweet voices of the
people. Those incumbents who encounter no
busy scene with perfect indiference-aa indilfe-
amounting almost to downright stoicism.
Lowing the dear people, most ardenty as they
do, and feeling satisfied .'that the people love
the M" they occupy justnow the most exalted
position, and can afford to look down with indife-
upon their less favored brother patriots,
who are SO anxious to devote their whole time
and talents to the public veal.
As the Wing party of the city have met in
convention, and formally nominated ticket eve-
ry way worthy the undivided support of the par
ty, we regard the success of that ticket as beyond
question.
A BoorLEss EaRAND.-On Thursday night
the watchmen arrested slave named Peter Ba-
ksr, the property Of Mr.. Jos. R. Anderson, and
took from him gold watch several table spoons
and set of knives and forks, which they had
reason to believe the fellow had stolen. On
appearing yesterday before the Mayor, white
man named Chaplin came forward and stated that
the watch belonged to him-that he resided
near the Armory, and hal given it Ito the negro
(who works at the rolling milD for the purpose
of having it mended. As to the spoons and knives
and forks, the negro accounted for them by rs.
sorting that gentleman living in the city was
about breaking up housekeeping, and had given
him the articles. Alderman Evans directed one
of the officers to accompany the negro in search
for the gentleman who gave him the spoons, &c.
with directions to discharge the fellow his state
ment should Prove to be true-if otherwise to
commit him.

the result of the vote. Fine speci-

BosToN LIQUOR CASE. Henry Bar
nard was before the Police Court yes
terday on five complaints, charged
with violating the present liquor law
Of the Commonwealth. He was con-
vieted on each complaint, and on each
fined 30 and costs, and ordered to
recognize in $1,000 not to violate the
same law again for one year-making
his fines amount to fifty dollars be-
sides the costs, and his amount of re-
cognizance $4,000. The defendant
appealed, and gave bail in the sum Of
S2l00, to appear at the next term Of
the Municipal Court and prosecute the
same. Philander A. Jones, bar-keep-
er for Henry Barnard, was examined
on four similar complaints, and the
same order passed in each case, from
which he. appealed, and gave bail in
$l70O to appear and prosecute the
same Boston Journal.

Becoming a Medium.

The fascinating spiritual rapPings
is without a doubt gaining strength
among US. Some very ludicrous incl
dents often grow out Of it at times,
as well as more serious and deplorable
ones. 0 05 tl8f
A few nights since, within this week,
young male friend Of ours, who,
from sneering sceptic, had become
a devout believer, retired to rest after
having his nervous system partially
destroyed with the information, thro'
the spirit Of his grandfather, that he
would become a powerful medium
He was in his first comfortable snooze
when clicking noise in the direction
o! the door awoke him. He listened
intently; the noise was still going on !;
very like the raps Of the spirit on the
table indeed
who is there 2
There was NO answer, and the noise
stopped. y
ANY body there?'
NO. was the answer.
Itmust have been a spirit, he said
to himself. 1T must be medium.
I'll try. Aloud If there is a spirit
in the room it will signify the same by
saying 'aye'--no, that's not what /
mean. II there is spirit in the room,
will it please to rap three times 2
Three very distinct raps were given
in the direction of the bureau.
Is it the spirit Of my sisterl'
No answer.
is it the spirit Of my mother 2
Three raps.
Are you happy 2
Nine raps.
q DO you want any thing?'
A succession Of very loud raps.
will you give me communication
if | get up 2
No answer.
Shall | hear from you tomorrow {?
Raps very loud again, this time il
the direction of the door. He waited
long for an answer to his last question
but none came, The spirit had gone
and, after thinking on the extraordi
nary visit, he turned over ami I'll
asleep,
On getting up in the morning he
found that the spirit of his mother hac
carried off his watch and purse, his
pants down into the hall, and his
great coat off altogether Dctyoil

BE A few years ago man by the
name Of johnson, pedler, stopped
at the house Of one Hughes, in Madi-
son, Ne. and was never afterwards
heard Of until recently. Some time
after johnson stopped with Hughes,
the latter was drowned, and his wife
became insane. She declared her
husband the murderer Of johnson,
and circumstances gave plausibility to
her story. Now, y johnson turns up
in California, and the children Of
Hughes are relieved Of the stigma Of
being the offspring Of a amurderer.

CRUcIFIxIoN.---The Hebrews de-
rived the punishment from the Ro-
mans. The upright beam was let into
the ground, and, the criminal being
raised up, was fastened to the trans
verse piece by nails driven through his
hands--sometimes through his feet
also-and often the feet were crossed
and one nail driven through both
The feet were sometimes bound to the
cross by cords. A small tablet, de-
claring the crime, was placed on the
top of the cross. The victim died un-
der the most frightful suherings, so
great that, even amidst the raging
passions Of war, pity was sometimes
excited. The wounds were not in
themselves fatal. A raging fever
soon sets in, and the victim complains
of throbbing headache, intense thirst,
and pain. When modification ensues,
as is sometimes the case, the sufferer
rapidly sinks. He is no longer SEN
sible Of pain, but his anxiety and
sense Of prostration are excessive, hic-
cup supervenes, his skin is moistened
with cold, clammy sweat, and death
ensues. The duration of life under
these agonies varies with the constitu-
ton Of the sufferer and the state Of
the weather. Death was fastened by
the heat Of the sun and the exposure
Of the cold night air, but it did not
ordinarily come until he had hung for
thirty-six hours or more.-N Y Oh

Of Montreal recently visited the ba-

citizen doing out more of a bad thing
than the law allows, seizes, and takes
it out Of his possession, and destroys
that, which costs him money-whieh
causes three -fourths of all the crime

ONEoF THE LITTLE G1RLs IN MAINE,
Miss Isabella Dunham, aged I5,
daughter Of Geo. Dunham, Esq, the
enterprising ship.builder of that place,
recently took passage in a stage coach
to Hampden, where she was attending
school. There were with her in the
coach several young gentlemen (?)
who set the Maine Law at defiance by
drinking from bottle which one of
them took from his pocket. Consid-
ering herself insulted, she called on
the driver to stop, and jumped from
the carriage. Although solicited by
the driver to return, she persisted in
walking the remainder Of the distance,
about a mile, to the no small mortif-
cation of the nice young men.

The votaries Of the rum traffic are
really organizing for the contest in
Ohio. This we are glad to see, as such
movements win drive all from neutral
ground. There cannot be more than
two parties in the conflict. We take
the following proceedings Of a whisky
meeting from the "Life Boat" a
spirited and valuable paper at Ports
mouth. We beg our readers to ana
lyze the resolutions, and give them
full consideration. We learn that
there were precious few corn growers
at the meeting.
Meeting Of the Corn Growers and
Whisky Dealers.
Pursuant to notice, the Corn Grow
ers and Liquor dealers, met at the
City Hall, and organized by appoint
ing Judge Ramsey, President, Henry
Jeffords and Alfred Smith, Of Wash
ington Township, Vice Presidents,
and I. ]. Graham Sec.
VIM. S. Huston, on behalf of the
committee On resolutions submitted
for adoption the following preamble
and resolutions:
Whereas, We, the Corn Growers
and Liquor Dealers Of Scioto county,
Ohio, at the adoption of the new con-
stitution of the State, when the ques-
ton of License" or "No License"
was voted upon, believing that should
the mo License" prevail, that the
consequence would be free trade in
that article, and consequently voted no
License. Under this mistaken view
Of the subject we had the opinions Of
men learned in the law, and conse-
quently vested our means, supposing
that the laws of the State would pro-
tect US III the engagements of our pur-
suits and property; but to our great
surprise and astonishment we discov-
cred that the Courts held that the old
statutes, with the exception of the
powers Of the Courts to grant license,
are still in force, ptohibiting.the sale
entirely Of spirituous liquors; thereby
rendering of no value our property
vested in the trade, rendering illegal
our pursuits, and depriving us Of the
means of perusing our business
Therefore,
ResolUed, That the law as now in
terpreted by the Courts is not a law,
deriving its existence from the will or
consent Of the governed, and there
fore odious, tyrannical and oppressive;
and instead Of promoting the good or
happiness of the people is an engine
in the hands Of wicked, ma icious, de-
signing men to wreak their malice on
those whom their depraved vengeance
may select. Hence they burden COM
munity with taxes in vexatious prose-
cutions for their own private, mali
cious designs, and trouble the peace
and happiness Of community BY com
pelling citizens toappear before Courts
and Grand Juies to testify to any
violations of law that may, perchance,
have fallen under their observation
RESOLVED, That the efforts now max
ing in and out Of the Legislature Of
Ohio to get up and enact Maine
Law. is in our opinion fanatical, and
should at once be met with hostile
and unfinching front by the enemies
of that measure.
RESOLVED, That for the purpose Of
showing our hostility to any Maine
Law, we, as voters, will henceforth
support no man who is not openly
