Birth in a Graveyard,


The St. Louis Republican of the 17th
instant has the following:
On last Sunday r't gentleman who
lives on the st. Charles road, short dis
tance beyond the city limits, by the name
OF Fltzglbbon, was returning to his home
short time after dark. When he was in
the nelghborhood of the grave yards on
Franklin avenue, he was startled by a
deep moan, as if from a person in great
distress. He Immediately reined up his
horses, and getting out of his vehicle
commenced search, and following the
direction from which the sound proceeded
in short time discovered a young and
beautiful woman lying on the ground and
apparently suffering great physical agony
A moments g lance revealed the fact that
she had just given birth to an infant, and
there pressed to her bosom, and wrapped
in its mothers tattered dress, which she
had torn from her person to protect her
tender offspring, laying smiling babe
Her story was soon told; for, however
much she had been wronged, with that
true Instinct of womanly virtue, she kept
within her own bosom. A stranger in the
city, without friends and without home.
she sought to conceal her shame, and in
the sacred precincts of the cemetery,
amid darkness and surrounded by the de-
ISOLATION Of the dead, her infant drew its
first breath under the very shadow of the
tomb.
What an illustration of life have we
probably in the wayward course of this
poor, weak wanderer! Charity might
well stop to drop a tear over outraged vir-
tue. Shame, that expressive word of Vi
olated innocence,had probably driven her
from her home, and all the endearments
of the social relation been severed. to
hide her shame and another's crime.
The mother and infaut were taken in
charge by the charitable gentleman who
had found them, and taken to his own
home, where they were properly taken
care of. The unfortunate creature stated
that she was from the State of New York,
but declined to give her name. She sub
sequently gave one by which she might be
called, but which is certainly fictitious

Rail Road News.

Latest from Froguile.-Speciaz hte1li-

jours, devil and all hands to announce,
that the first train from Crestline TO Pat
terson, which passed over the whole line
on the 21st ultimo, was overtaken by a
storm on its way out, and is now frozen in
at Frosts Grocery in Frogville.
Knowing the reputation, of TIE concern
as a "feeder,", serious apprehensions of a
failure of grub arc beginning to be felt.
We are happy to learn that large quanti-

Sinope,th Coast of Pontus,in Asia Minor
The following notice of sinope, where
the recent battle was fought between the
Turks and Russians, will, at the present
moment, be read with interest:
"The temples, palaces and porticoes,
created by powerful line of kings, have
been levelled in the dust. Naught remains

Visit East.---Our Town.


After visiting the easternp portion of Ohio,
and seeing other towns, we are more fully
convinced that we have one of the best
towns in the State. Our people appear
possessed of more than ordinary energy
end enterprise. ig'After being absent for a
short time, we are always glad to getback
to,our own beautiful, young and thriving
town. Upper Sandusky for its age, lis far
ahead of any town we know of; and she is
stillimproving, and ere long will be far IN
advance of much older places.
When we arrived in town on Saturday
last. and saw the sleds and horses in the
streets, we began to imagine ourself in
some city. The pork and other market
ing is pouring in rapidly. In fact, our
townhas business appearance, while her
population is rapidly increasing, and her
thoroughfares are becoming of such a
character as will enable us to do good
and thriving business in all branches of
trade.
The public buildings ofUpper sandus-
ky are notexcelled in any country town in
Ohio. The taste displayed in building our
court and other public houses, denote a
taste not often seenin any new inland town.
Indeed, we imagine we could not say too
much in prise Of our town and its future
prospects. Pae " '--

Ex Members of Congress.

The Washington Star has some very
well timed remarks, in relation to Mem
bers of Congress who visit the capital to
sell their influence to the highest bidder
Such men as are described in this article,
should be held up to public scorn. The
star says:
eve are destined to have stationed al
Washington, during the approaching ses-
sion of Congress, from thirty to fifty ex-
members, who come to sell their personal
influence for hard cash on the nail and
contingencies; their influence aforesaid fol
such Consideration, to be used to get
through Congress any Legislation whatev-
er, desired to put money in the pockets OF
the payers. Some of these gentlemen
have followed this business for years past,
until they are well known around the halls
Of Congress as 'lobby MEMBERS" Their
former position in the public service gives
them at all times an entree into both cham
bers, which affords advantages for cleo
tioneering for schemes on the treasury, for
which spectators pay literally. Their
knowledge of the rules governing the
transaction of business in Congress also
makes them somewhat desirable agents.
These advantages, backed by the fact that
they are notoriously less scrupulous in
their means of carrying their points than
most others, have, up to this time, rem
dered them SO successful as professional
legislative drummers, that they have,
among them, shared much of the public
money which never should have left the
treasury of the United States. Little
good it does them, however, as in spite of
our laws and the efforts of our police, fa-
ro banks still flourish in Washington
We have reason to believe that heavy
force of this description is already engag-
ed to work through Congress the New
York Pacific railroad scheme, through
which it is designed to get the govern
ment to build the road, and then to virtu-
ally make it present to dozen or so
spectators in nearly every State in the
Union. These ex-members are to be paid
for their services here, in stock, provided
they carry the project through. We shall
have to keep our attention fixed upon
them affectionately. As they show their
hands, we shall inform the public, and
more especially honest members of Con-
gress, what schemes on the treasury each
may have in hand, so that they may be-
ware of the plots of these gentlemen.-
The rules of the House and Senate should
promptly be SO amended, as that mem
bers claim agents or drummers, shall be
excluded from the halls, as other claim
agents are excluded. Washington Star.

The o. & la. R. II.

o Nearly all of our exchanges inform us
that this road is now completed from Crest
line to the Mad River Road, but no one
hereabouts has undertaken to tellwhy tha
portion of the road is not in operation
We-are assured that nothing is needed tt
start it except orders from the proper au
thorlty, yet the thing stands perfectly still
There never has been, and perhaps never
will be again SO favorable time for open
ing this part of the road. The Erie diff
culties have greatly increased the travel or
the 0. d Pa. road, and our road if opened
would secure large portion of the trave
to the south and west. Gentlemen Di
rectors, can't you hurry up the cars lit

Our Legislature.


This body convened on last monday,
and organized by electing full set of of
fcers. 1t is to be hoped that.the present
Legislators viii keep in view the wants Of
the people; and that they will enact such
laws as will operate equally and fairly up
on all classes.
1t is very hard matter to so construct
a law as 70 meet every case; but laws can
be SO arranged as to generally meet the
wants of the people without being oppres-
sive. Men when elected, should not study
alone, whether this or that move is going
to render them popular in the eyes of this
or that persons, but whether such meas
ures are going to operate equally and fair
ly upon hosetheyrepresent. They should
study more the interest of Ohio. a.
The Democratic papers of this State
should notice the action of the Democratic
members of our Legislature in manner
that would hold in check those members.
BY this course we may expect much good
from this Legislature. We do not believe
in screening public men from exposure
when guilty of wrong actions.
In another portion of our paper will be
found communication from friend at
Columbus, and list of the names of the
persons selected by the Democratic caucus
for the Offices of the House and Senate
Our friend ex-sherif Berry will have the
post of second assistant sergeant alarms.

More Ligb.!!!

We are happy to learn that Bro. Crevcr
ofthe Bucyrus Journal proposes issuing
a country edition rthe benefit of the Wy
andots. We see by the, Prospectus that
it's to be can independent whig paper
printed we infer at the Metropoliton office
in Bucyrus and published sometime there
after at Upper Sandusky. We are furth-
er advised that agentleman of competent
editorial ability will give strict attention
to our local affairs, that it will be a paper
ofliberal sentiment and sturdy indepen-
dence, and will be issued whenever com
petent support is secured. We haven't
the pleasure of a personal acquaintance
with Bro. Crever, and for aught we know
he may be capable oflooking after the To-
cal interests of half dozen counties, vet
unadvised as we are on that point, we ven
ture difidently to suggest that he's trying
to spread himself.
However its none of our business. To
be sure the Wing party is dead enough;
but funeral expenses are preferred claims,
and our copy ofthe Prospectus is heartily
at the service of any one wishing to make
an investment.
