Geological Survey Of Ohio.

We have received the report Of the Select
committee, to whom was referred the bill to pro-
vide for Geological survey of the State
1t commences by urging the necessity Of the
project. Saying that New York having just COM
peted survey at a cost Of near $500,000, con-
siders the investment important and profitable
Also, the States ofWisconsin, Kentucky and Illi-
nos, having completed surveys, consider it valu-
able and recommend the other States to carry out
the project. The report quotes from letters ad-
dressed to the House from Gen. Powell, of Ken
lucky, the Secretary of State, of New Yord, and
from tbs Illinois Press. The benefits accruing to
the science of Agriculture, is ably discussed by
the Committee, conclusvely. showing the un-
questionable advantage that would accrue to
the farming interest were the bill to pass, and
the provisions fully carried out BY a knowledge
of Chemistry, the farmer would ascertain the con-
sttuent parts of plants, animals soils, rock, min
eral manures, and the atmosphere; the condition
of soil, climate, temperature, and food that tend
to promote, modify or retard vegetable or animal
Development. Action and influence of air, wa
ter, and their elements and contents upon soil,
&C., &C.
By Geology, they would ascertain the kind of
rocks, their mineral composition, their distribu-
ton, the order in which they are arranged, the
action of water, of the atmosphere, &c. By To-
ology. he could learn the habits and character of
animals that are employed for food or labor. To
investigate diseases, the best methods of rearing,
breeding, feeding, &c. 1t also leads to the study
of worms, insects, &C., and the best means of in
vestgating and preventing their depredatons.
BY Meteorology he would ascertain the philos-
oPhy of the changes of the season, the winds,
weather, dews, fogs, clouds, &C., with their ef-
feet on vegetation. The report adds: "If the
cause Of crust alone, in wheat, could be ascer-
tanned and provided against, twould prove great
blessing to agriculture, and amply remunerate for
many such surveys" The report is made by Mr..
Scott, of Stark, the author Of the bill, and who
deserves great credit for his perseverance and
thorough acquaintance with his subject, and by
Messrs. Burton, Egley, Campbell and McKen-
zie.

An Important TaxatiOn Fact.

The Ohio State Democrat remarks, In speak
ing of the finance report of Mr.. Atkinson in the
Senate, that one fact stated in it is pregnant with
interest:
Ofal the taxes collected last year, "only $751;
444,80 came into the State treasury; the remain.
der, amounting to two millions and half of dol
lars was collected for township, school, corpo-
ration, or other special purposes. .,..,.
"The place to correct this evil of high taxa
tion,' the report rightly says "is in the hands of
the County Commissioners, City Councils, Town.
ship Trustees, and other local authorities, who
exercise the power of tlxation.' But few think
of this--the mass of taxpayers unthinkingIy
charge the whole upon the State Government
and upon the Legislature, while in>truth the evil
is nearer home

Burning in EGgY.

The Buffalo Courier very truly says: "Our po-
ltical history discoses the curious fact. that no
individual has been burnt in etiigy in this country
for any act he may have committed as public
man, whose popularity has not been materially
increased by the operation
The Courier continues: "burning in effigy has
been common affair since the organ zation of
the government. In l776, George Washington,
Patrick Henry and John Hancock, were burnt
in effigy in the streets Of our cities. In 1900,
Thomas Jefferson was burnt in effigy, because he
advocated the rights of the people, and opposed
the property qualification Of voters. In 1912,
James Madison was burnt in effigy, because he
advocated the war with England, which secured
to American seamen their rights. In 1886, An
drew Jackson was burnt in effigy, because he
crushed the famous swindling concern, called the
Omitted States Bank" and beat the British at
New Orleans in 1914 In l946, George NJ Dal-
las was burnt in efigy, because he voted for the
peoples tariff, which is now in operation, and
which did not make the grass grow in the streets
of our cities, as many of the croakers predicted
it would But no man, we believe has in this
country had the honor of being so frequently sub
jected to this species of federal indignation, as

Execution of Parks POSTPONED.

writ of Error has been granted by Judge
Bartley, in the case of Parks. The argument
on the points involved, will be heard by the Su-
preme Court. at Columbus. An adjourned ses-
sion Ct the Court meets next month at Columbus
but it is thought improbable that the case will
then be heard, for want of time. In that event
the decision goes over until the Court sits next
December. If the exceptions are sustained, and
a new trial is thus secured, the final decision will
be reached sometime in the future.
One exception taken, was to the ruling of
Judge Humphreyville, which denied Parks the
privilege Of carrying his case for trial to the Dis
trict Court. If that is sustained, he may elect to
be tried in the Court of Common Pleas or the
District Court, at his pleasure. Or, he may ask
a change of venue, in the Common Pleas Court;
but it will rest with the Court to grant or refuse
this request, at its pleasure.
A very onerous duty is imposed on the Sheriff
by this delay! and an additional opportunity is
given to the prisoner to steal a march on the tar
dy movements of justice. 1t is but natural that
his Counsel, if they believe the verdict to be us-
Just, should avail themselves of all the delay in
execution, the law allows. If the defect is any,
where, it is in the law and ruling of Judge Bart
Beacon.

Shal. we have "a Park.

The propriety of fencing the public square is
being discussed by our citizens. The Commis-
sioners have agreed to pay one half the expense
if the citizens will pay the other. The cost of a
good iron or chain fence, would be comparatively,
but triiing, and its addition to our already pleas
ant vlluge, would be important. We are de-
cidedy in favor of the enterprise, let our citizens
take hold, and put it through. Construct neat
fence, grade and adorn the grounds, and our
square will assume the cheerful and pleasant ap-
pcarance, which charaeterizes the other portions
of the village.

AS the tender of a counterfeit bill to the Con-

He was at once identified as the same case, who

b Admiral Napier, who commands the Brit
sh feet in the Baltic, the Philadelphia Ledger
says, figured in the war against the United States
in 1912, and not very creditably, as he was Joined
with Cockrane and Cockburn in making war up-
on the farm houses and hen roosts of the Virginia
farmers. One of his letters, Ingersoll's history
mentions, taken during the war, dated June 24,
1914, says:
"Here / am in Lynnhaven bay, the clippers
sailing every day, and losing them for want of fast
sailers. I have petitioned the Prince Regent In
behalf Of the whole of us for good slice Of prize

lated to put him in better humor.--N Y, Post

formation on the subject; but it is believed from
other indications that the popularity and inAu-
cnce of the Dictator are on the wane. The re-
lection of the Gadsden Treaty by our Senate de-
prives him Of the hope of obtaining large sum
Of money which he needed to organize his army,

bid higher for the gold next time, and give US
all lower California, in addition to the Messlla

An Eloquent Extract.

From q speech made in Congress, by Hon. G
A. Grow, Of Wilmot's district, on the Homestead
Bill:
The man who has kept his quarter section five
years, and has surrounded it with the comforts OF
the FIRE side, and has connected with it all the as
socia'ions of home, is not likely to leave it unless
II be for the purpose of bettering his condition in
some fat distant location. The probabilities are
that it will remain in the hands of the settler who
first selects it, for what does the speculator want
of cultivated lands! But even if the settler does
sell, it would be to some enc who wants TO cult-
vate the land, and that would secure its continued
settlement and cultivation-the object Of the
bill.
But the gentleman from Georgia, (Mr. DenC
is in favor of the most liberal bounty land laws
for the soldier. He and many others who oppose
this bill are ready in all cases, to veto bountes.
The men who 90 forth at the call of their coun-
try to uphold its standard and vindcate its honor
are deserving, it is true, Of more substantial re-
ward than tears to the dead and thanks to the
living. But the truest herosm is not always
found in the night watch and forlorn hope of the
battlefield, but in the garret, the work-shp, the
by-lanes Of toll, and the wilderness home, where
the bones and sinews of men are struggling with
the elements with the nnrelenting obstacles of
false civilization, industry, in rags, and labor
weighed down in poverty, working day by day,
face to face with death, yet keeping unstained
bands; womanly honor fighting with hunger and
crushed dispair, yet keeping its heart unsuled;
Infancy, born in squalid vice and Graded in ghast
ly crime; yet in manhood asserting the dignity Of
it's nature. In these achievements, on the OBJ
scure battlefield of everyday life, is exhibited
the more than manly courage and fortitude that
crowns the hero of the tented field. But as the
plumed warrior, mounted on his charger, in con-
spicuous upon the battlefield, above the unpre-
tending private in the ranks, these obscure SOL
diers of civilization are passed by as unheeded
while living, as are their graves when dead. Yet
their achievements, if not equally brilliant with
these of the plumed warrior, are equally, if not
more lasting. Their achievements are in the van
of civilization, and on the footsteps of the saw
nge-achievements of the great and permanent
interests Of mankind-for his happiness and well
fare, not for his destruction. While, then, pio-
neer spirit goes forth into he wilderness, snatch
Ing new areas from the wild beast and bequeath- |
log them legacy to civilized men, let not the
government dampen his ardor or palsy his arm
by legislation that places him in the dover of
souless capital and grasping speculation; for up
on his wild battlefield these are the only foes
thst bis own stern beart and right arm cannot
yanquish

This gentleman, who has for some time past
been one of the Editors of the Home Companion
and Wing, has, we regret to learn, concluded to
leave Ravenna. He has associated himself with
the Daily Republican, published at Elmira, N. Y.
as one ofits Editors, and while we depore the
loss of an able writer, respected political an
tagonst. and a worthy man, we are happy to con-
gratulatc, the Daily RepuJlican on so valuable
an acquisition. During his sojourn among US,
his intercourse with his friends and associates has
been all that could be desired. He parts from a
host of friends, and carries with him the best
wishes of our community. And we trust, that
amid the current of events yet distant in the flu
ture, the remembrance Of his sojourn here, will
still be chastened with the recollection that cling
around memory.
