Stewart Holland, whose heroic conduct on board
the ill-fated steamer Arctic has elected 80 much
admiration throughout the country, while 1t Is

This gentleman, who for some time past,
has been Teller OF the Preble County Branch
Bank. resigned the piece, and on Saturday
last, left for Dayton, where business Of a pri-
yate nature demands his attention. Our citi-
zens part with Mr.. RENcH with regret. Du-
ring his residence among US, by his gentleman
" department, suayity Of manners and diSpo-
sltion to accommodate, he won the esteem OF
all with whom he became acquainted, and
carries with him the best wishes Of a large
circle of friends in Eaton, for his health and
future prosperity. Those who know him best,
love him most. As a business man, he has
few equals, and ifhe would give his wander,
ings o'cr, and take some nice young ladie
from a state of misery 10 one of blessedness'
he would be in every respect, q proper nice
young man. We don't think, however. he can
much longer remain in Bache lordom, if signs
are any indication OF COMING events. Mr.. B.
r. PRouTzMAN, has be en- selected to fill the
vacancy occasioned By Mr.. RS. resignation,
and we imagine will fill the place as well o.
any other man could. He appears to be 8
young man Of considerable business tact, and
every disposition to accommodate. OF the
worthy Cashier, H. c. HEIsTAND, Esq. We

important News.

The announcement that the Japanese have
opened three important ports to the vessels Of
the United States, has caused no little re-
joicing in commercial circles. While reading
the account of this important affair, we we're
struck with the nature of the presents sent
over by the United States Governmental those
semi barbarous people. IT'S true, these pres
.ents were, many OF them, appropriate, but
there was an omission that shovld not have
beea made. Included in the list, should have
been q cameraa and material,, forthe purpose Of
taking Daguerreotypes. This would, most I'M
doubtedly, have surprised the natives."--
Speaking OF Daguerre0types reminds US that
BALM 10. 10 West Fifth Street, takes the b.st
pictures in Cincinnati-has the best operatives
in this country, and the finest Gallery in the
West. He has acquired a world wide repu-
tation as an artist, and is well worthy Of the
praise his works have received throughout the
country. Remember No. 10 West Fifth Street,
when you want a good Daguerreotype.

beauty, thoughtlessly undertook 10 fill a fluid
lamp, on the 9th inst, from a can which con-
tanned a gallon of the Internal liquid. An
explosion took place by which she was cover
ed with the burning fluid anG instantly envel-
oped in flames. She made a frightful leap
into the entry, where she fell, exclaimingthat
she was burning 10 death. Instant efforts
were made TO e~1tinguiSh the flames by smoth-
ering them, which, on account Of her skirts
being very much saturated, was difficult. They
were finally extinguished with water. More
than two-thirds of the surface of her body
were shockinsly burned, and in her writings
the flesh was rolled off in huge wales. After
O few hours of the most intense torture, heI
vital overs gave way.-COmmunicdted.

The Brand Of Cain.

The editor OF the Philadelphia Courier says:
While at the burning Spring." near Niagara
a few days ago, we were requested to enter the
names Of our party in the Vlsiier's Register
and while complying, we observed that the
registry had been suspended at about two
thirds down on the left hand page, and then
continued at The top Of the right. On seeking
the cause, we found the last entry as follows:
"Man. F. Ward, Brother and Servant"
OF course the name had cast blight upon
the page forever no honest man would add his
name beneath that of the Cain-branded fuai-
tive, but under meath was written, as by the

Arrest Of Counterisiters.

On Tuesday evening the 18th inst two
young men were arrested in this county, for
passing counterfeit money. Upon the citi-
zens Of West Alexandra, they passed several
one dollar bills and then went to New Lexing-
ton, one mile north Of the former place. There
they had just commenced operations, when a
delegation from West Alexandra came after
them with the necessary papers to secure them
a room and boarding at the Hotel kept by JOHN
DEeRooT, Esq, Sheriff. On the road between
Lexington and West Alexandra, shortly after
they had passed on their "winling way to
Eaton, was found a Pocket Book, containing
nearly 500 in counterfeit bills. Upon their
persons was also found, We understand q
considerable amount of the same kind of cur
rency. One of the individuals we learn, says
he is from Colerain township, Hamilton county,
the other is from the same county. We doubt
not the State will receive some benefit from
their labors.

team Thousand Dollars Stolen.

Last night, after half past ten O'Clock, the
banking house of August Belmont on the cor
ner OF Hanover and Beaver streets, was enter-
ed by burglars, and fourteen thousand dollars,
stolen from an iron safe. The thieves anne
through the back Office on Hanover street, and
went into the banking department, where the
safe containing money was kept. The safe
appeared to be unlocked with q key, as no,
evidence OF lis having been forcibly opened
was discovered.
The stolen money consisted Of fourteen.
bills of one thousand dollars each, on the
Bank OF the state of New York. They. had,
been rece we'd at the banking house yesterday,
