OUR PROSPECTUS.
A word to our Friends.

The friends of the Gazette will much OBJ
lige US, by circulating among their neigh
bors, the prospectus which is forwarded to
them in this issue. The enemies Of the
paper arc using every means in their pow
er to cripple its influence by limiting its
circulation, and we trust our friends will
be prompt in coming up to its support
Owing to the disastrous state of the fnan-
cial affairs Of tho country the advertising
patronage, not only in this but all other
cities in the State. has been very materially
reduced, and we are therefore compelled to
look to another source--our subscription
lis.-for an amount sufficient to make up
this deficit. We particularly appeal to our
friends in the country to mako an exertion
to increase the circulation of the paper, and
trust that its past tone will be to them 4
satisfactory guaranty of its course in the
fItllre

How Chnnged ore we ,Nowl

There was time in the history Of our
country when the people, Of all classes
looked forward to session Of Congress
with feelings Of buoyant hope and extreme
qualification confident that their griev-
ances would be considered and their
wrongs wrighted by the united action OF
men of intelligence and patriotism, whoa
sembled Mt our nations capitol to transact
the business of the people, and not as Sin
these latter days" to play lacky to a time
serving demagogue Of a partisan President
and concoct schemes to advance individual
and party interests, How different now.
The mere mention Of the fact that Congress
has again convened, sends thrill OF pain
and fear through the veins OF millions OF
freemen and at once creates fearful tore-
boding as to the results Of its deliberations
Schemes of corruption have too long been
allowed to occupy the attention of our Ma
tional Legislature. The people have too
frequently and too kcenly felt the desPoFs
rod from the seat of Governmen.-they
have too frequently had their sentiments
misrepresentcd by faithless public servants
not to look, with holy horror, to the re-as'
sembl:ng Of that body. Why in the sacred
name of Liberty, should this feeling o.
dread, as ifsome dire calamity was abou'
to befall the nation, take possession of the
American people at the annual session o.
our National Congress? 1t is because
profigacy, incompetency and total lack
of virtue and patriotism have characterized
each gathering together of that body. and
so long as such men are allowed to contFo
the destinies Of our country, just so long
will the clounds of doubt and fear hang
over and enervate our people.

PRovrDESrrAL--Mr Jellif, the mer-
chant tailor on Western.row, was sum
moned on Monday TO attend the funeral
of his little nephew the next day, who
had, it was supposed, died of brain fever.
Accordingly he kept his store closed yes
terday, and started to the residence of his
brother-in-la about three miles from
town, to be present upon the melancholy
occasion Arrived atthe house Of mourn
ing, he found tho family plunged in grief
The child lay with its soft placid features
in its last, narrow, earthly resting place,
while its anguished parents were bending
over, looking their last at one who, be-
yond all the riches of Golconda, were
priced by them. Suddenly, through the
tears which glistened in her eyes, the
mother saw, or fancied she saw, a move
ment of the muscle Of the face. The
coffin lid was brought, but she cast it on
one side and watched with breathess anxi-
ETY. for another motion. A miracle-a
blessed miracle The darling, which they
had mourned as sleeping that sleep. from
which there is no awakening, opened
those eyes which, but minute before,
had appeared forever closed. Another
instant, and it was clasped in that mother;
arms. The gloomy cloud which had over
shadowed each face was dispelled by the
sunshine OF hope, and that house Of mourn
ing was now converted into one of merry
making. The child had lain tho whole o
the previous day in q trance. A brie
space longer, and it would have awoker
within the grim horrors of tho grave
We are happy to state that it is now doing
well, and no fears are entertained o.
its ultimate recovery Cin:innoH En-

Characteristic OF THE MAN,-Dr. OLDs,
wo understand, in order to CRAFTY a re-
vengeful feeling against the citizens along
the line of the GAINESVILLE and Maysville
Turnpike has been instrumental in ere
leiving" tho towns of Oakland. Tarlton,
Leistsville and Kingston of the "bur-
thens" Of fadaily mail, and substituted a tri-
weekly. We suppose our readers are ac-
quainted with the fact that the good peo-
pie along this route were most emphatic in
their reputation of the Doctors position
ON the Nebraska bill. This is the manner
in which he retaliates. He has given the
contract ofcarrying the tri-wcekly to his
co-laborer in Nebraskality, MIR. FoUsr. If
the Doctor don't find this road a Lard one
to travel in his future political operations
we must confess wo much mistake popu

Hints for Dcccmber

The Ohio Farmer says lne season Ia up
on us when the out door operations OF the
farmer are necessarily limited to smaller
number than usual. Andyct the indus
trious and thriving husbandman will lind
enough to do. 1t is hoped, that, by this
time, the cattle, sheep, and horses, have all
been we'll provided for. If not as they
cannot SO we'll speak for themselves we
would earnestly repeat, what has been said
over AMI over again-letthem be well shel-
t.red from the storms Of winter, and iurn-
ishol with food adapted to their wants
For all the care and attention bestowed up
on them they will return large comPen-
.a.ion, in the shspe of profit in dollars and
cent, and in mute but eloquent gratitude
Take good care of the kitchen garden
Iftreos that require mulching have not
b.en attended to, let it bo done without de-
Law. Our object is, to prevent heavlng by
the frost; and it is desirable to keep them
in an inactive condition till the season far
" opens. We venture to suggest ior lhe
consideration of our readers in the middle
and southern parts of the State, whether
mulchinp may not be highly beneficial, in
keeping peach, plum, and cherry trees
back until they will nos,,bo liable to receive
injury from the late frosts in the spring
R.spborries should be laid down, and
covered with the soil. Ifthis has not been
done, do it now. See that your straWoer-
~ beds are taken care of, according to di-
rections given last month; and be sure not
to use for covering anything that Will DC
likely to produce weeds, or grass In the
spring. Leaves. or clean straw VIII be
found the best covering; and soil should be
scattered over the bed, to keep the cover
ing in its place.
All kinds of foreign grapes should DO
laid down, to avoid the destruction OF the
bearing wood. And even the Isabella
Catawbs and other native grapes, If IN e1-
posed situations, had better be served III
the same way.
Attend to tho strictest rules OF economy
in tho making and saving of manure II
the boys have nothing else to do, let them
scour the woods for leaves, and disturb inc
swamp for muck, to bo used during the
winter for increasing tho manure-heap'-
Here lies one of the secrets of successful
farming. Look we'll to the main chance
and get ahead of your neighbors in secur'
ing the means of good crops another year
We know that this is the farmers season
for relaxation from severe toll, but" little
exercise Of this kind will do no harm.
Attend to the marketing OF your pro
duce. Prices are now good, and may b.
lower. Don't hold on too long-peopi
sometimes lose instead OF making money
BY waiting. Having been duly thsnkiu
for the blessings Of the past, be trustiul 10
the future; be economical, generous toward
tho poor, homeland go ahead!

Auother railroad Conspiracy.

The Adrian Mich. Erpositor, of Oct.
ID. has a long account of the detection OF
a conspiracy TO rob the Mail and Express
Trains. on the Michigan Central Railroad.
The plan was TO place distractions on
the Road, and while the passengers and
officers should be busy with the killed
and wounded, to plumber the cars.
The ringleader Of the conspiracy calls
himself Augustus Stuart Byron Melon
aid. and
''pretends to be natural son OF LORD by
ron and in childhood TO have been thus
recognized by the gallant Lord. His
uotber,s name was Mary Stuart, and she
arterwards married Mcdonald, and he
goes by the three different names, but
usually signs his name Augustus s. By
ron. NJ. ID. He was born in Edinburgh
May "a, 1917 In 1885 he entered the
British service as Assistant Surgeon IN
Woolwich Naval Hospital. In 1886 he
came to Quebec In 1870 he returned to
England and went to China. In lS4l
he came to this country-his mother then
residing east of Kingston, Canada. In
1914 he went to Holland. In l845 he
returned to Montreal and in this year
his mother died.
After our war with Mexico commen-
ced. he went to the City of Mexico as
First Lieutenant of Dragons, under Capt.
Drew. from St. Louis. In 1913 he re-
turned to Canada. In 1850 he went tc
London with goods from Montreal to the
Worlds Fair. he also visited Glasgow
and Edinburgh. and in 1852 returned t
New York; thence to Buffalo and Detroit
where he worked in the Free Press of
flee. having somewhere become half
way printer. He went to Chicago, st
Louis, Memphis and New Orleans; thence
back to Milwaukee with the body of I
man who died in New Orleans; remained
awhile in Chicago, and then returned t.
New Orleans. In August, 1858, return
cd to St. Louis, and afterwards was EN-
ployed on the Fort Wayne railroad. IL
January, 1854. he visited Detroit ano
other places in this region, and during
the winter certain propositions were
made him by parties, some of whom III
had long known in this country, and Eng
land"
Such is the account he gives of him
self.
The detection was occasioned by hi
trying to betray his confederates, but St
as to give them chance of escape, anf

his disclosures.

The Free Democrat, in noticing that
we called the phenomenon singular, of
lightning striking the bottom instead of
the top of building first says:
"The discharge of electricity from the
earth to the clouds is almost as frequent
as from the clouds to the earth, and is
usually far more dangerous"
This being the fact, what, then, is the
use of Lightning Rods?
Occasionally one sees a neighborhood
in the country. where the barns and hous-
es are covered with lightning rods, and
sometimes one will see good barn and
house, solitary and alone, with these APP
pendages. On inquiry it will be found
they are rather the result Of successful
peddling, than the desire of the owners.
The circumstance of our brothers barn
being destroyed by lightning has afforded
a rich harvest for the rod pedlars: all the
neighbors have purchased.
Do they do any good7-D.
