The unaninimity with which the citizens of
Marysville have endorsed both of these pro-
jects of improvements, so vital to her welfare
and future prosperity, exhibits gratifying
assurance that at last sound sense prevails

Let Marysville carry out these great public

Birthstone Corner.

This IS the very appropriate title of the cor her ot Boston street, on which the church of Theodore Parker is situated.
 A friend informs us of an incident connected with this same abolition cathedral which strict ly illustrates abolition consistency. An indivi- dual who had attended the church, but found the ultralsm bearing altogether too strong for his own capacities of endurance offered his pew for sale, but was for long time unable to find purchaser. He at length hit upon the curious expedient of sham sale of the pew to negro, enjoining upon him to occupy the pew with his wife and children, every Sunday, till further orders. The pew was in most conspicuous and eligible situation, and when, on the suc- ceeding Sunday, the son of Africa and his wife took possession, they were the "observed of all observers
 ltwas not many minutes before the occupants of thenelghborng pews vacated their places, and the looks of indignation and disgust they cast upon the intruders exhibited the true character of their abolition philanthropy. The next time the negro attended church he found the pew door locked, but he lifted his afectionate frow and sa- ble cherubs over the inclosure, then followed himself: listening with great edifcation to the abolition theories from the pulpit, in such strange contrast with the practice of the people. The third attempt Of the negro to attend service was successfully defeated by locking the church door upon him, and the upshot of the matter was that the pew owners trick was entirely successful and the abolitionsts gave him three prices for his pew, in order to prevent the abo- lition theory from being practically illustrated. This is but an example out of thousand of the nsincerity and inconsistency of abolition ism.-Ledger.

The Elections.

|
 The returns of this county show that the de- mocrats have won a decided victory. Judge Totten has carried the county by very de- cided majority, though his exact majority is not yet known.
 Col. H. M. Rector is elected by large ma- ority. MT. Martin is beaten by small vote we believe, and MT. Stillwell elected. The re- port started by the enemies of MT. Martin, the day before the election, that he was the weakest man. beat him. It beat him by but very few votes. Had the democracy of Pulaski county proved true to their candidates and not believed the reports put in circulation by the whigs they would have carried their entire ticket They would have elected Totten Senator, and Rec tor and Martin, the Representatives. As it is Col. Rector leads the field by very large ma- jority. He run race unparalleled in the po- litics of Pulaski county.
 Thus has Pulaski county been redeemed It no longer stands in the catalogue as whig county. It has shown itself to be democratic in spite of whigs-shown itself to be democra- tic in spite of disorganizers, both of which have used their utmost to defeat the democratic mo- minees and elect the whig candidates.
 Upon the subject of convention to reform and remodel the constitution of the State, this county has proved itself true to the best inte- rests of the State. As far as we have ascertasned 1t has gone against convention. The majority in this town in favor of it has been small. We hail the vote as decided triumph of the true men of the State
 The election of Internal Improvement Con- missioner, we deem it proper to state that Mir. Beebe, though receiving respectable vote, was no candidate. MT. Giles was elected with out any opposition. Mir. Giles is a gentleman of worth and will discharge the duties of the office faithfully
 Col. Albert Rust: the democratic nominee fo, Congress, has carried the county, we believe.- We have not however the full returns
 Mir. Campbell, of Campbell township, has been elected Judge. This county in going fol Judge Totten, in our opinion, insures his cleo. ton to the State Senate. Perry and Prairie counties being democratic by large majority will elect him. We set down his majority ir the district at least 15O votes.

JOHN B. GoUGH-What the London Times says of his oratorica powers:
 He is the Paganini of orators. He plays on.
 y on one string, but one capable of infinite responses-the life of drunkard Oh Heav. en and Earth oh, angels, men and devils. what theme running from the cherub infant through wasted youth, blasted manhood. days of alternate revelry and cursing, a home of unre. lleved misery, death of shame and anguish It IS this that MT. Cough reci,es night afte, night. He paces up and down some twelve q, twenty feet of platform, judiciously left cleal TOT nlm, With hands clenced as in auonv Q, pawlng the air to keep of the ghosts of mem ory, pouring out words with such spontaneity that they some times seem to tumble over one ano'ner' and smother meaning in their fall, scarcely stopping at cheerenever inviting one.
 He tells you with gestures, even more signf- cant than ms passionate and sometimes beauti- lul words, how he went out from the home of plous, loving mother wandered from the s,idghs srid dp path was whipped by demons over an thlrst' felt word of mercy like cooling water on hls tongue, saw rainbow of hope over the aoyss of seven years of sin, and was restored to strength and happiness. When he has told this, he can turn to other men, can paint socie- ty with vivid pencil, and conduct an argu- ment with a vigor the more effective because tolerant Sometimes he will introduce an illus. tration like that of boat on the rapids, which will hold an audience in a suspense of almost agony, and force them to seek relief in annro. priate tumult

Thrilling Incident.

On Saturday the 9th instant, as the storm that had been brewing some hours was about oreaklng out, little boy of seven years of ace. son of MT. A. Il. Veise, of Detroit, who is aft present residing at Crosse Isle, took refuge m. uer the deck of sail boat, belonging to Mir. F. W: backus, lylng at the dock, with the sail holsteo. In moment after, the squall struck her, when she broke from her moorings. and started towards the open lake. When first seen she was nearly half way across the river. and the little fellow had crawled from his place of shelter and taken his place at the helm. endea. Vorlng to direct his course towards the shore soon the ram came down in torrents, the wind had lhcrersed 10 perfect hurricane. and the banks ot the river were lined with wailinq wo- men and children and strong men. who were powerless lookers-on. Not aboat was immedi. ately within reach. The sail boat had almost reached Stoney Island, and the hearts of all the lookers-on were for moment relieved ex. pectng to see her go ashore, when all at once she preached to, and came abruptly round aoain heading for Crosse Isle
 As the boom settled round the anxious snac- tators held their breath; for moment the head of the pilot disappeared, only again to reappear holding manfully to the helm. Directly anoth. CT and hercer squall struck the sail the boat was thrown upon her beam-ends, and the sail and boom in the water and the cries of Che is lost," "he is gone," were heard on all sides otlll the gallant barque held her way; again she went about and took her course towards Nal den, and again her pilot was plainly seen stand ng at her helm.
 By thls time boat had been manned and put OH to the rescue, but before getting any dis. tance into the river the salboat took anothe, turn, heading towards home She ran straiob, to the middle of the river, when Mir. F. w. backus and Il. Gray, esq, ran down the bank and made signs to the boy to keep the helm u, or down, as the meandering of the boat reouir. ed' He obeyed the signs like an old salt. and Tn few minutes the boat was run into shallow water when the gentlemen named above were enabled to wade on board, and in little time the boy was in the arms of his mother, who had been an almost distracted spectator of the whole scene.
 Tn answer to question of how he was get tlng along when the gentlemen boarded the boat, he answered that he was pretty wet, but added, Wasn't it lucky, Mr. Backus, that was aboard your boat when she went of D. Detroit Advertiser

The thermometer in cur lower of- nee ranged from 96 to 1O2 degrees, and at 8 o'clock Tn the evening maintained its position at 9S degrees, without any apparent indication ot decline. In our composing-room in the 1fth story, It held at 96 degrees all through the day.
