OHlo.-The Free Democracy Of this noble State
are receiving daily accessions 10 their ranks. In
some sections Of the State. not only are old Demo-
Gratis hocking to their standard, but the Wings are
wheeling into their ranks by whole platoons. Sew
era papers have recently abandoned the Baltimore
platform, and come out openly Tor the party Of free
dom. We shall look for great increase of the
Free Democratic vote in Ohio this fall
In Portage county, some four hundred men of all
parties, but chiefly Wings and Democrats, have just
issued call for a regular "People's Meeting,' on
the Free Democratic Platform. The Ohio Star SAYS i:
"When We look over the list Of names attached 10
the call, and those of the viruous The upright,
the sincere, the intelligent the sagacious recorded
here, thus joining hands, without regard to sect or
party for the advancement of great and benefcent
moral and benevolent enterprise, we thank God that
we have lived TO see this day. We have reached a
beautiful refreshing oasis, IN the somewhat ardu-
Gus and laborious struggles Of lfe."
Edward Smith, widely known among the mem
beers Of the sold Guard" as one OF those who
"struck with the first that struck for ireedom,' is
talking to the Wings. He says:
''Shall we be told that our party is Democratic
and if Wings do not adopt our principles let them
stay where they are9 Not so. Let Wings come
with US, and act with us, and they will soon be as
democratic as we are. Our principles make all
democratic, who embrace them; we have nothing to
fear on this ground The great subject of human
freedom, that underes all our other principles will
allow nothing but Democracy to be built upon it''

SERIOUS ARRAY BETWEEN PARTY OF
FUGITIVE SLAVES AND THEIR PURsUERs-
We learn from persons who received their inlorma-
ton from citizens OF New Petersbursh, situated in
this county, ten miles northeast OF this place. that
on Friday Saturday last, party Of men, three of
whom were Kenluckans from Mason and Fleming
counties, and two Ohioans, passed through that vii
lage in pursuit of three slaves the properly Of one of
the party, named Pierce, and another owner. 1t
seems they had information which led them 10 be-
lieve that the slaves on the route through New
Petersburgh to Greenfield; but they had not yet
crossed Rattlesnake Creek, which runs about mile
east of Peters5urgh. IRON Petersburgh there are
two roads leading to Greenfield, one of which crosse
es the Creek over bridge, and the other by ford,
about half mile further up. Three of the pursuing
party stationed themselves at the bridge and two at
the ford, and awaited the coming of the slaves
The party at the bridge had not waited long, when
the slaves, two men and woman, made their APP
pearance, escorted by a white and a boy, as
guides. As soon they were fairly within the
bridge, which is covered one, the Kentucka ns
sprang upon them and desperate fight ensued.-
The negroes it is said were armed with guns, pis-
tolls, and knives, and defended themselves bravey.
The particulars Of the ARRAY, however, are not vel
definitely known; but the result was, that one of the
negroes was captured after being severely wounded,
and the other two, with their white companions,
made good their escape. Pierce, The owner of the
captured negro, it is said, severely hurt, having
been nearly choked TO death in the struggle 10 Sc.
cure him. The desperate nature of the ARRAY may
be judged Of from the fact thai the broken breach OF
gun and pistol were found on the spot, and the
ground was covered with blood, As soon as il was
over, the Keniuckians lost no time in leaving for
home, taking their captive with them llsborough,

FRUIT.-Caution should be written in every
home to govern appetite during the fruit season.
Be cautious with regard to the quantity, but more
especially the quality of the fruit you eat. Do
not, upon any consideration, carry home any but
the ripest and soundest fruit, Let no temptation
OF price lure you to choose the inferior sorts
Two cents saved upon box of berries may be
many dollars difference in your doctors bill. Eat
fruits as part of your meal-not in addition to
it. People don't think enough of this. Fruit is
food, not establishment to food. Our readers
will excuse US, but they shall not get sick if we
can prevent it-BOstOn Post.

discovery of remedy for that scourge of troni-
cal America, the fellow fever. The discovery
was made at Angostnra, in Venezuela, or as the

day. with an enema of the same every two hours,
is stated TO be perfect cure for the fellow fever

stages. All the physicians of Angostura have
adopted this treatment of the disease, and they
state that hardly any deaths occur under its in
