Rctter Ti,na Coming.

Things are beginning to look brighter
than ever in our town. In few days
we are to have daily malta thing that
we have long wanted. This will be- a
great addition in theway ofnews, and busi-
ness men will find it convenient, for they
formerly had to wait a week for a letter
from any point. With the new arrange
ment in mail matters and the rapid i'm
proving condition Of our town and coun-
try, cannot we soon expect a better
time?
The Union School house will soon be
run up and this too will add much to the
town. Things generally are beginning
to present new and changed appear
ance. Then we are to have a bank of
deposit and exchange for the accommoda-
ton of the people Of the county, SO that
much of the funds that use to be sent
abroad will now be kept at home.
After all we would like to call the at
tention of our citizens to the necessity of
having some more shade trees. This
above every thing else, we think, will add
to the appearance of our town. 1t is true,
some of our citizens have began the work
and now have some very nice yards, but
still there has been gross neglect ON the
part of many Of our citizens in this par
ticular. Let us begin new order Of
things and as we'll as build up our town,
do little to beautify it. In Short time,
with very slight extra expence, Upper
could be made the Eden of
Ohio.

New Post Oaice Wanted .

Some of the citizens of this place and
many others, who are interested in the
matter, have called our attention to the
necessity of having post Office at Eden
vile, on the Ohio and Indiana railroad.
This will be no extra expense to the Post
Office Department at Washington, as we
understand the mail is to be carried on the
cars, and it will be great accommodation
to many people in that region of country.
Will the Postmaster General take this
matter into consideration ? We hope Hon.
F. W. Green will call the attention Of the
head of the Post Office department to this
very important arrangement. Edenyille
is right on the railroad, about three miles
from any post Office, and should have one
there.

KnoW Nothings.

This is party that is receiving more
notoriety than it is entitled to, and still we
feel inclined to give an exhibit of the doc
trines advocated by the party, and then
will just say to every truly philanthoropic
American, mark the party and men who
connect themselves with this party, for
they would sacrifice the liberty of our
Union for personal aggrandizement-
This party is made up from all the fac
tions that is at present known, and just SO
soon as the ringleaders fail to secure the
posts they are after, farewell to the party.
But here is what is represented to be their
platform:
AMERICAN PLATFoRM.--1. Repeal OF
all Naturalization Laws.
2. None butNative Americans for office.
8. A pure American Common School
System.
4. War to the hilt on Romanism.
5. Opposition first and last, to the for
nation of Military Companies composed
Of Foreigners.
6. The advocacy ef a sound, healthy
and safe Nationality.
T. Hostility to all papal Influences, in
whatever form, and under whatever
name.
8. American Institutions and American
Sentiments.
9. More stringent and effective Emil
grafton Laws.
10. The amplest protection to Protes-
tant Interests.
II. The doctrine of the reverend
WASHINGTON and his compatriots.
12. The sending back of all Foreign
Paupers landing on our shores.
13. The formation of Societies to pro-
tect all American interests.
/, IA. Eternal enmity to all who attempt
to carry out the principles of a foreign
Church or State
IS. Our Country, our whole Country,
and nothing but our Country.
Is. And fnally-American Laws and
American Legislation, and Death to all
Foreign Influences whether in high places
or low.

Our Visit East.

We are again at outpost after an absence
of one week, on visit among our friends
in old Columbiana. The people of that
county and New Lisbon are of the right
stripe, and know how to treat friend.
Long will they have a.place in our mem
ory for their many kind acts towards US.
New Lisbonis town of considerable size,
well built up and should be better bust
ness point than it now is.
The drouth in the eastern part of this
State has nearly or entirely ruined the
corn and potato crops. Never before in
in our reccollection did we see such a
general failure of crops as at the present
time: many of the wheat fields have been
thrown open to the cattle, and many far
mers will not harvestenough to seed their
farms in the fall. Where the drouth
has not effected the ruin of crops the
weevil has, and nearly every kind of grain
is failure If we are to Judge of the
price of grain next fall by the scarcity,
we would predict the highest prices ever
paid in Ohio. The crops with us ap-
pear much better than in the eastern
portion of the State, and indeed they
may, as we have had rather seasonable
weather.
1t is still to be hoped that the peo-
pie of eastern Ohio may yet receive suf-
fcent rain to bring out the potato and
corn crops, so that they may partially
make up for the failure in the wheat
harvest. The present indications for any
thing like half crop this year are very
unfavorable. The oldest citizen cannot
reccollect the time when things presented
such a miserable prospect.

The Minnesota Fraud.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times gives an account of this
matter, which has lately led to an nvesti-
cation in the House of Representatives,
as follows:
The fraud of which gave you hint
in my letter of last evening, was fully ex-
posed in House to-day, and excited uni
versal surprise and horror. 1t seems per
fectly clear that the record of the House
was mutilated-that law, by forgery,
was made to place about three millions OF
dollars worth Of property directly into the
hands of particular company, when it
was the intention. of Congress to leave the
award of this property open to competi-
ton before the legislature Of a territory,
A member of the House, Mr.. Stevens, of
Michigan, after a Committee of Investi-
cation had been ordered, publicly con-
fessed that it was done by his order, and
the order Of member of the Senate,
{ Mr.. Jones, of Iowa,) the Clerk of the
House. asserting to it, none of the parties,
all the while, being aware that the sub
stitution of one word for the other was of
any material Importance.
The question very naturally arises,
"Why was the alteration made, if it was
not material =? Why was a consultation
SO necessary between the Clerk of the
House, Senator and a Representative ?"
Was there misunderstanding That is
scarcely possible. But if there has been
any doubt as to the intention of the House,
the House alone had the right and the
just power to settle the question. 1t was
the Office of the Record to present what
the House actually did-not what it intend
ed to do.
But in this case there is no pretence of
doubt as to the action of the House. Mr..
Stevens only claims that as member of
the Committee on Public Lands, he had
intended to report the bill in the shape in
which it stands after it's fraudulent altera-
ton.

Killing Machines.

A young Italian, M. Cipri, has invent
ed pyrotechnic machine, consisting Of a
balloon, held and guidedby a cord, which
carries, in the place peaceful aronouts,
lncendiary materials, asphyxiating bullets,
&C. With favorable wind, the balloon
is directed over city, forti6cation, or a
port, and by means of an electric current
they detach successively the projectiles
accordingly as they apply the electric
spark. This is mostly assuredly prac-
teal invention, and under circumstances
that do often occur in the course ola war,
might be rendered most destructive one
Experiments on a grand scale are to be
tried in few days on the Champs de
Mars in the presence, of the Emperor.
Another machine, invented by M. Adar,
called a pistol cannon, is composed Of
three barrels cast together side by side, a
little divergent, which but one charge
of powder for each barrel, which commu-
ncate at the bottom, and with but one
cap to explode. Each of these barrels is
charged with cylindrical projectile, fas-
tened together by chains, which may have
a length of one hundred yards if deem
ed necessary, or they may be tied togeth-
er by incendiary materials. The projec-
tiles have the diameter Of the barrels;
they are polished, creased and rammed
down on the powder like cannon ball.
They may be thrown with the desired
force at considerable distances, but not
SO far, as will be readily understood, as a
single ball unencumbered with chain,
and two other parallel balls, which may
or may not travel with exactly the same
momentum. The destructive effects of
these projectiles are readily understood;
every man or body of men which they
encounter, are mown down like grass be-
fore a scythe. In naval battle, these
chain balls, directed On the masts, or bet
ter still, on the chimneys Of the steamers,
will make quick work; the chimneys de-
stroyed, the under-decks will be filled
with smoke, and the sailors asphyxiated
and blinded; the fires VII be extinguish-
ed, the engines stopped, and the vessel
rendered an easy prey.
With this instrument they cannot fire
many shots in a minute, but the effect
over the ordinary instruments is much
greater. With less number of men, a
ess number of arms, in economising pow
der and projectiles, an incomparably great
er amount ofwork may be accomplished; a
few men may do as much as a regiment.
This invention is enc of those which di-
minishes the power of the number, and
enables the individual to contend with the
mass, or a handful of men to contend
against a large army.-N 0. Delta

BUSINESS IN SAN FRANc1sco.-The San
Francisco Price Current, of June 80, re-
ceived by Adame & Co.'s Express says:
Business, during the past fortnight, has
exhibited no material change, the slight
tendency to speculation noticeable at the
sailing of the steamer of June Is having
been effeetual checked by the advices re-
ceived from New York ola partial renew
al of shipments to California. In one or
two articles movement has taken place,
but the staple articles, as we write, are
extremely dull, and the market generally
is languid, with perhaps a downward ten
dency rates. The demand from the in
terror has been very limited throughout
the entire fortnight, and we see but little
prospect of an improvement in it before
the fall, when perhaps, we may have to
record an increased demand for winter
stories.''s

MUsIc.-Last night we had the pleas
ure of hearing some music that could not
fail to fire up any mans soul. Ouryoung
friend G. McGill will soon be star on the
violin, and Frank Brewster can just touch
all the sweet spots in an accordion, and
the two together can make music tha,
ought to harmonic the most discordant
souls on earth. AS the poet says:
"Music the fercest grief can charm,
And fate's severest rage disarm.
Music can soften pain to ease,
And make despair and madness please;
Our joys belowsit canimprove,
And autedate the bliss above

AN OCToGENARIAN TEETHING.-
Pittemween Register says;--A curious
and rare occurance oas justtaken place at
ST Monance. A woman whose age is
eighty-four, had been complaining of a
pain in her jaw for some time, which she
ascribed to toothache; but although
strange, it is never the less true, the old
woman was "teething." During the last
week, she acquired two new grinders
one on the upper, and !. the other on the
lower jaw. Shells now well, and proud
of her additional assistants.

Ono AND INDIANA RA1LRoAD-We
learn that arrangements have been made
by which the Ohio and Indiana Rnilroad
will be completed to Fort Wayne in the
shortest possible time. There are about
thirty miles of track remaining to be laid,
which can be put down in so days. The
grading and bridging are completed, and
the cross ties are delivered and distribu-
ted. The Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail
road Company has agreed to transfer to
the Ohio and Indiana Railroad portion
of the iron which it now has on hand
which, with what was already provided,
will complete the road.--Statesn,an and

The CoNTRAsT.-Some men in this
county, wealthy too, do not take tho first
solitary paper. Poor men, all right,
it costs too much to take paper. But
just see the contrast. The Statesman and
Democrat says:
KELSEY, of the American HOTEL is a
subscriber to between forty five and fifty
daily and weekly papers. If any land
lord in the West can beat that, trot him
out If all were propertionally. liberal,
editors might live.
