D ExtraOrdinary Scene in Court.


Newere for an hour in attendance at
the Criminal Court Yesterday afternoon. and
Ihefe witnessed one of the most thrilling
scenes that ever passed before mortal eyes.
The great Bank Forgery case was progress
ing The Hon. VIM. +. johnson, witness
called by the defense, was on the stand
Mr.. johnson was member Of the State SEN
ate in 1849, and is prominent as a politician
and business man. He was a particular
friend OF Mr.. Kissade, having been a mem
ber Of the firm Of Lot Pugh d o.. ofwh;ch
kissane was 'confdentiaI clerk. He called
on MIR. Kissane day before yesterday, and
told him be was able TO testify as TO his
whereabouts on the i 4th December last,
aid Correct mistake made by some of the
witnesses Tor the prosecution. Previous to
that call he had not seen kiss;tne for long
'lme' and i WAS from reading reports Of
the testimony in the Commercial, that
the idea occurred to him oftakinr the stand
AMI proving an alb for his old associate.-
The testimony that he gayew will be found
recorded fally in our regular re,,ort
Alter ne had satisfied TO the whereabouts
Of MI Alssane on The llth OF. December,
and the business Transactions he had with
him that day, Mr. Prpden proceeded 10 cross
examine him and asked if he knew Mr..
kissanes' hand writing. lie replied with
a smile, Yes, as well as / know my own,
Mr.. Pruden then handed him check drawn
by Kissane, and the forged check. and in
quired wether he could detect any similarity
in the hand writing that filed them up
Mr.. johnson took the papers and closely
examined them. As he did so, an express
sion OF terror came upon his coutenance,
and with conyulsiye movement he threw
the papers upon the table, crying in tone
OF horror, "ihat check is Kissane's hand
writing" He then staggered to his chair,
exclaiming, in tone that sent shudder to
every heart-"GREAT GoDr'
The effect Of this tragic scene was stun
ming, Judge and jury, lawyers and specta-
tors were alike appalled,, After moment
OF GREATNESS excitement and suspense, the
Court took a recess This movement seem
ed involuntary, for calm consideration could
not be given to any subject, while dismav
was upon the features Of every man. Mr..
johnson was ghastly pale, and as he slowly
recovered, an expression Of intense pain set
tied uron his countenance, and he, seemed
suddenly to have grown old. No scene that
the pen of the novelist or he dramatIst
ever drew, could equal the terrific dramat-
l3 grandeur and power of solemn reality oI
this occurrehce.-- Gin Conn.,

Preserving Fruit in Bottles.

Strawberries, raspberries, ablackberlies.
curraniS, peaches, i'll Glc1 any fruit may be
preserved in air-tight bottles, so as to re-
tain its natural flavor, with but little labor
or expense. The followingis an excellent
mode:
"t'ill The bottles quite full with the fruit
notqulte ripe, place thom with corks put
lightly into them, in copperiwith cold wa
terup to the necks, and gradually raise the
temperature ofthe water to $50 degrees, and
not exceeding ITO degrees Fahr. Keep
them at this temperature half an hour; then
take each out separately, and fill it up with
boiling water from kettle to within an inch
of the cork; drive in the cork firmly, tie it
over, and dip lit Immediately into bottle wax,
and lay the bottle down on its side, to keep
the cork always damp. To prevent fermen-
tation, turn each bottle half round twice or
thrice q week for two or three weeks; after
that they will need 70 further care The
corks should be soaked in water two OF three
days before being used.'' Hls
Another mode is to tie the cofks before
putting the bottles in the water. The heat
expels the air from the fruit. AS soon as
the bottles are cool enough, apply the seal
ing wax. The secret exists in e1hausting
the air from the bottles, and making, the
corks air-ight.

The State Ticket.


The ticket at the head of our columns has
now been before the voters Of Ohio for SIX
months past, says the Chic State Democrat,
andits opponents have in vain tried to f,.sten
a single charge against candidate on it
1t unitcs in an eminent degree the Jeiferso-
nian qualities OF honesty, capability and
faithfuIness.
Messrs. BARLEY, Berslin and Trevit have
been each tried in the Offices to which they
are again nominated, and each has proved
himself worthy and well qualified.
AS Lieutenant Governor of the 5tqto, Col.
Medill won golden opinions from all High
talents and stern unbending integrity
the buayity Of his manners and gentle
manly address, united to finely cultiva-
ted mind will, We hazard nothing in saying,
make him as popular chief magistrate as
Ohioever had.
Gen. Bliss, Of Allen, destined by the
votes Of the people, to succeed Col. Medill as
Lieutenant Governor, is gentlemen Of en-
larged views and does not want experience
in Parliamentary laws. AS member Of
the last Legislature he showed tact and tai
ent. united to business habits which gave an
assurance to the Convention that placed him
in nomination, that he would make an ad-
mirable Lieutenant Governor.
Col. Geo. W. McCook, of Jefferson, the
present Reporter Of the Supreme Court, is
the candidate for Attorney General. He
is. although young man, already ir the
enjoyment Of an enviable reputation in his
profession, and will do honor to the station
he is selected to fill.
DR.. Wayne Griswold, of Pickaway,
nominated to fill the office of Member Of
Board of Public Works, is now performing,
in consequence of the resignation of Col
Manypenny, the duties of that responsible
Office. II was fortunate for the Doctor that
he was so selected, for it has enabled him
to show business qualities and fitness for
the place possessed by but few From one
end Of the line ofpublic works to the other
all unite in praise Of his faithfulness and
fidelity.
Such is the character of the men and their
fitness for the station to which they are pla-
ced in nomination by the Democratic Con-
vention, that the more respectable Of the
whig press has, as yet, not dared to attack
them. That they will be elected, if oul
friends but do their duty, is to our minds il
the nature of a fixed fact.

are no candidate Of our own making, and
should the Democracy see proper to choose
some other man instead Of us to serve them,
he shall receive our warniest support. Cir
cumstances will not permit us to visit the
several townships, as is usual with candi-
dates, to solicit support; but we must leave
the matter entirely with the Democracy

Authorship Of the Dible.

There are in all sixty books which COM
prise the volume Of uoy Writ, which are
attributed to more than thirty different au-
thors, or writers of the whole. Half of tie
New Testament was composed by st Paul,
and the next largest writeris the gentle and
beloved ST John. With the single except
ion of Paul; neither history nor tradition has
testified that those powerful thinkers and
writers ever enjoyed the benefits of educa-
ton, OF that they were trained to scholar
ship and lrarning; yet how ably have they
written; what eminent characters have been
chroniced by them; and what great events
recorded, both for time and eternity!
jeremiah is sorrowfuI; Isaiah sublime Da-
vid poetical: Daniel sagacous; Habakkuk
and Haggai terrible and denuncary; but
they all seem to have exercised their nalu-
raj gifts under the influence of Divine di-
rection and inspiration. Moses, with his
vast knowledge, aud profound intelligence

depth ofieelng and exquisite tenderness and
simplicity, compile ted iC.
