The Cincinnati Columbian relates the
following account of lovers reachery and
crualty. When will the time come whe n
the seducer will be held in that contempt
and adherence he SO richly deserves:-
The many phases of life, crime, d suffering
presented in our local editorial career, have
seldom effected us so much as an instance
ofmoral and mental shipwreck which recent
ly occurred in this city. One year ago, there
were few fairer and more interesting girls
than Miss, the daughter of wealthy
gentleman in this city. Her kind and ami
able manners had won for her large circle
of friends, and long and happy life seemed
just opening before her. In an evil hour
she fell victim to some seducers Wiles and
when at last the evidence of her fall could
no longer he concealed, and her father dis
covered her dishonor, he at once turned her
with bitter reproaches into the street. Of
all her friends none would longer know her,
and without a home she found refuge in the
Commercial Hospital, where she became a
mother and at the same time raving mani.
ac. necessarily calling upon her father,
imploFing forgiveness and striving to knGel
at the feet of the fancied parent, she was a
few days since sent to the State Asylum for
the insane, with bnt faint hopes of the light
Of reason again breaking upon the darkcn-
ed chambers Of her mind.

COMING TO THEIR SENsEs.-The Wings of
the Scioto Valley consider that their party
has "succumed to malign and mischievous
influences" A "Whg of 1885 and 1854"
writes to the Ancient Metropolis thus: '-'2
"No rational man contends, Sir, that the
Wing party proper of Ohio have gained any
thing by the ring d-and-speckled' re-
suits of the late election, and seriously
question whether the public interests have
not been greatly injured by them. We
shall see: there has been change Of men;
the question is, has it been, upon the whole,
for the better! /, for one, doubt that n,has."
The weekly Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1854-1861, 1854-12-06

T The Buffalo Democracy, in comment
ing on the result of the New York election,
says: "The election has passed over US,
leaving the old Wing organization, mass
of ruins. We are utterly wrecked. 1t is
also idle to think of reconstruction of
the Wing party. 1t is past all surgery, past
all medicine. 1t only remains for us to
save what is vital and good out of the dsas-
ter, and to bold it ready for the exigencies
of freedom and the North"
1t is said that an honest confession il
good for the soul'-we hope the Republic
feels better now.

No MORE LICENSES IN CHIcAGo.-The
Common Council of Chicago passed an or

pealing all enactment authorizing the issue
of licenses, and leaving the penalties for
selling without licenses in force; SO that per.
sons continuing to traffic in the ardent in
that city do it not only without the color Of
the law, but at the risk of being punished
