"wbsitsies, 10 there he tongues In trees,
Those giant oaks would tell"

i 0TThe following resolutions were passe,
oy the state Temperance Convention whicl
recently assembled in Columbus:
| Whereas, it is on organic and nalienabl
4 right and duty Of freemen to protect thei
lives, their liberty, and their property, an,
there to prohibit any manufacture or CONNER
clal pursuit which necessarily destroys human
life, impairs human liberty, destroys proper
| ty; and, whereas, the manufacture and sale
commonly known as the liquor traffic, fol
! drinking purposes, is in Ohio, awfully destruc
tive Of all these-life, liberty, property, and do
mestc happiness; therefore,
lst Reso!red, By this Convention, that i
is the sacred duty Of the freemen of Ohio to
/ use every constitutional means to prohibit. by
law, this infamous manufacture and traffic.
| I'd. Resolved, That the overwhelming vote
in favsr of stringent prohibitory law, given
in Michigan on the goth inst, not only reflects
the highest honor upon the virtue and in.
teIligence OF the electors Of that State, but
should forever silence the silly clamor OF
demagogues that the people are not prepare for
.he annihilation Of the the liquor manufacture
and traffic.
81. Reso'red. That the submission of a
similar question to the people of Ohio would
be followed by like result, and the friends of
the manufacture and traffic dare not go 10 The
country on this issue.
4th. Resolved, That inasinuch as it may be
inconsistent with the organic law of Ohio, to
submit this question the electors, as it has
been in other States, we have no alternative
but TO vote only for such candidates for the
General Assembly as are committed in favcr
of the proposed measure.
9TH. Resolved, That we utter disclam all
desire to form an Independent party, OF to
disturb thos+ already existing. but we are de-
termined to secure the speedy determination
of the manufacture and traffic in liquor as a
beverage.
9th. Resolved, That we will not favor the
formation of Independent tickets, except
when all the political parties refuse,to present
candidates, within reasonable time, who are
not right on the great question.
7th. ReSOlred, That u considerable sum of
money will be indispensable to carry on this
campaign-to distribute temperance publi-
cations, employ lecturers, &C., and that the
roll of counties be called, and the delegates
from each be requested to respond as t. what
amount may be relied upon from their juris-
dction.
Sth. Resolved, That a State Central Com
mittee of five be appointed, who shall be
charged with the duty of employing lectur-
ers, appointing mass meetings, and doing
whatever may seem necessary to secure the
election OF a majority of the members in the
next Legislature favorable to our views

AHuMAy SHELTON EMBEDDED IN A Rock.
The GAINESVILLE Times relates the following:
-'On Monday last while some hands on the
Cincinnati, Wilmington and GAINESVILLE rail-
road, at Cusack's Mill, about five miles south
o: this city, were quarrying stone, human
skeleton was found embedded in rock, on
bluff bank on the south branch ofJonathan's
creek thirty feet fIom the surface. A small
fissure. in the rock, of perhaps two inches in
width, opened to the resting place of these
remains, which, in all human probability,
MAY have been deposited there centuries
AGO. The rock contained an ndentation
of the greater part of the body, as perfect as

an able article says:
"Mr. Andrews does not form a part Of the

ADVERTISING FOR A WIFE.

| A New York youth furnishes the following state

lations whom found to be Of the ton. We were
engaged All her friends were in favor the match

for our wedding. returned to New York in April.
She wrote me three times week, osservating that
nothing but death should part She wrote to
have me get a certificate from the city clerk where
she lived, and hurry mp my cakes have it. She
then wrote me that as were 50 soon to be mar.
ried she would want great many things, and her
father although very wealthy, would not fit her out
because she would not marry the one he wanted her
to- and, therefore, she desired me to send her

MOIUy,S EYE.


MOLLY's EYE.
T hey dig for gems; for glitering gems
Earths hidden caverns pry,
But yet are found, beneath the ground
None such as Molly's Eye.
Talk none of brilliant sparkling things
That meath old ocean lie,
Such talking shows, as plains your nose
You meier saw Molly's Eye.
The limpid dew drops glitter too
That on some lily lie;
The brightest take, and 'twould not make
A Tear for Molly's Eye.
The sun may warm a shvfing frame
An ear from frost laid by;
What warns the heart, that dearest part
Is light from Niolly's Eye.
The Moon may deck with silver ray
The Earth, the air, the sky,
But all were dark, without the spark
That gints from Molys Eye.
Yon laughing, twinklng, stars that gem
The azure vault on high,
Their light is cold don't reach the Soul,
Like that from Moys Eye.
Away with all, Sun, stars and Moon,
They're needless in the sky,
What want we here on such sphere,
But light from Moly's Eye.
'Tis this that makes Earth's greenness green,
Gives life its glorious die,
Drives off each cloy, makes sadnessJoy,
This light from Molly's Eye.
And if that future day Ger come
When spirits hovring nigh,
Shall bear away, to heaven the ray
That beams from Molly's Eye,
Then bring your brightest purest gems
Light up the hosts on high;
Still Earth'sa blight, polar night
And weeps for Molly's Eye

HEARING WITH THE TEETu.-Many years
ago an old subscriber who was entirely deaf
called at our Office; and with the help of a
slatt which he always carried with him, we
were enabled to converse with each other.
In the course of our interview, he renarke I'd
that for many years he had not been able to
hear the loudest thunder; but added that, to
his great surprise, few evenings before, he
was at the house of friend, and was seated
by the side of piano, his elbow resting up-
on it, and his teeth upon his thumb, when he
heard distinctly the tune which the daughter
OF hls friend happened to be playing. Again
and again he tried the experiment, and he
could always hear when the connection thus
formed was kept up, but could hear nothing
whatever when it was broken either by the
removal of his elbow from the piano or by
placing his thumb upon any other portion Of
his face. From the character of our infor-
mant we have never had doubt of the truth
of his narrative-and we give it now chiefly
as a suggestion, whether some simple instru-
ment cannot be framed by means of which
deaf persons may be enabled to hear with
their teeth.-Richmoad, Va, ITatchman and
Observer.

THE TOMB OF FRANKLIN-A di!apidated darl
slab of stone, at the southwest corner of Filth
and Arch streets, Philadelphia, marks (or did
few years ago) the rest ofthe remains ofBen.
jamin and Deborah Franklin; but you cannot
see their grave nor read the inscription with
out scaling a high brick wall, in violation OF
the law, or securing good opportunity and
the favor of the sexton, each of which is said
to be attended with difficulty. So well hidden
is the grave, and SO little lrequented, that we
have known many native Philadelphians, of
mems and woman's estate, who could not d
rect one to the locality where it may be found.
Yet Franklin was man whose equal is not
the product ofevery century-a patriot whom
his country should forever revere-a philoso-
pher whose name will live as long as science
shall endure; and the wife of his heart was
to him more than the woman always proves
to the husband of her love-a companion,
counsellor, and self-sacrifcing friend. They
should forever repose beneath the old gray
stone that canopes their bed-a monument
beautiful inlts appropriate simplicity; but a.
iron fence, through which we might behold
their quiet abode; and he choicest Of flowers
and evergreens should richly adorn it.
BLADENsBURG.-A correspondent in the
Marlboro Gazette thus holds forth in praise
of Bladensburg:
Charles B. Calvert, Esq, has sold to Pro-
fessor Solomon, Prussian by BIRTH but for
many years citizen of this county, at $50
per acre, two hundred acres ofthe unimproved
portion of'Riversdale' estate, including the
time-honored Spa Grove with the condition,
however, that the 'woodman shall ever spare
those trees, This Grove has been, from time
immemorla', not only the chosen place for

OPENING OF THE FIRST RAILROAD Is
AFRGcA-Accounts from Alexandria, Egypt
of June 81, state that the Cairo and Alex-
andria Railroad had been partially opened. A
letter, dated the 2lst, says:--'The first rail.
way ever constructed in Africa has been for
twenty-five miles from Alexandria, traversed
this day by locomotives, and in the land of
the Pyramids one more monument has been
added to the abiding splendor of the past.
There is to be more formal opening in
few months, when the first section to the
Nile is completed.

Commissioner of Common schools.

The following are the resolutions, passed
by the State Teachers Convention, recon-.
mending Lorin Andrews for Commissioner Of
Common Schools. They were offered by Prof
Andrews Of Marietta.
Whereas, An election for State Commis.
sioner Of Common Schools will be held in
October next; and Whereas, for the prone,
and successful fulflment OF the Jaties of tba,
ONCE peculiar qualifications are required: we
the Teachers of the State Convention as.
sembled, feeling deep interest in the e!ec.
ton Of the officer with whom our duties will
bring us in so close connection, and on whom
SO largely depends the advancement of the
educational interests Of the State, do adopt
the following resolutions:
Resolred, That among the qualifications for
state Commissioner Com. Schools. may he
enumerated thorough education: the cx-
perence OF practical teacher; knowledpe
Of the State in It's educational condition and
wants; ability to superintend Teachers In.
sttutes, legal kno~ledge business capacity.
and undoubted integrity.
ReS0sced, That We recognize in Lorin An
crews all the qualifications above enumerat-
ed, and we do most earnestly and cordially
commend him to the people of Ohio as fit
person for the office of State Commissioner
of Common Schools.
ReSoIUed, That committee Of seven be ap-
pointed to prepare an address to the people
ot Ohio, setting :orth our views On the sub.
ject.
The cjrnCtinp b,.tp,, 81,
resolutions, the Chair called for the ayes, and
they were given with great emphasis, followed
by loud applause. There was not a single
negative vote, and the resolutions were an
nounced as unanimously adopted.
The above preamble and resolutions were
supported by Wings, Democrats and Free
Soilers. The friends of Education desire to
keep the office of School Commissioner from
the strife Of partisan politics, and have Sc
lected Mr.. Andrews, not on account Of party
predictions, but because they believe him
the very best man in the State for the place
Ii the people also desire to rescue the Office
from partisan politics. Lorin Andrews should
receive their united support-fIe is no partisan
he has not been nominated by partisans.
He is the peoples candidate, and we believe
thousands OF Democrats will vote for him not
withstanding it is the intention Of the leaders
of the Locofoco party to place in nomination
an ultra partisan for the office. AL will agree
that politics should not be allowed to enter
our schools, and in order to prevent it let the
attempt, on the part Of the Locos, to elect a
partisan for School Commissioner be frowned
down by the Peope.-Cadis Republican.
