On Monday, Mr.. Bresln Treasurer oil
State and the Hon. Frederick Green, OF
Tiffin, started from this city to Lockbourne,
IL miles south, in two-horse buggy. On
attempting to cross Big Belly, short dis
tance this side of Lockbourne, they found
themselves Immediately on entering the rap.
id stream in deep water, the stream having
risen suddenly, and floating rapidly down
it, horse, buggy and all. Mr.. Bresln jump.
ed out into the water Immediately, and
swan for the shore. Mr.. Green soon die
the same, and was carried considerably
lower down, reaching pile of drifted wood
succeeded, after many efforts in reaching
the top of the bluff bank, but not until after
he was so far exhausted as to be almost un,
able to raise himself on his feet.
Mr.. Breslin had reached the bluff banb
some distance above the place where Mr.
Green landed, and without any means o
ascending it, but kept himself afloat by
catching at any little root or twig that came
in his way. Mr.. Green finally came to the
assistance of Mr.. Breslin, but SO exhausted
that it was after long effort before he could
carry rail to reach down the bank for Mr.
B. to take hold of. By this time Mr.. B. was
chilled and cramped so that he had no use o
one arm, and could scarcely move limb
Mr.. Green was SO exhausted ny this time
t hat he could only lie down on the edge o
the bank in the mud and reach his hand tc
Mr.. B. Both having lost their strength, ant
having been for some half.hour in the wa
ter, they together had scarcely power t.
make an effort. In this condition they re-
mained for some minutes, almost giving W
the last hope Of extricatng Mr.. Breslir
from his perilous situation; for had he, BY
any cause, sunk back into the water, al
hopes would have been over--for he now
had lost the use of bolh his arms.
AS last effort and it was the last posi-
BILE to make-Mr. Green reaching down ant
caught hold OF the leg of Mr.. b., and thus
by joint effort, Mr.. B. was literally ROLLED
on to the bank in the mud, and in that con
dition they remained for some time, unable
to rise upon their feet. They finally made
all effort to go to the road-were seen ant
heard by persons not far off-were taken tt
the house of Mr.. Duval, in the neighbor
hood, where every possible attention wa
given them, and yesterday morning the,
were SO far recovered as to reach this city.
The horses and buggy we're carried mil
down the stream--one of the horses wa
drowned-the other horse and buggy wer
got out by the neighbors and brought bacl
also yesterday. They belonged to Mr.. Viii
lis, at the American stable.
We never heard of so successful an es
cape under circumstances where all hope Q
safety seemed gone.-Ohio Statesman.

T,he 0hio PenitentiarX.

ofall the public institutions Of the State
none perhaps attracts more attention, or
is Of more importance, than the Penitentia-
ry. II ever stands up before US, as an evi-
dence of the frailty of human nature, and is
taken as kind of theremomter to indicate
the temperature OF the moral atmosphere
1t is to be feared, however, that it is not
correct index Of crime in the State. Courts
of Justice do not always do justice. Judges
and juries cannot always understand the va
rious causes that lead to criminal action
Men are sometimes condemned who are en-
titled to our sympathies and kindness, while'
also, many hardened and more accomplished
villains not only go unpublished, but are well
coined in the "tirst circles" of society.
From the Report Of the Directors and
Warden Of the Penitentiary, we gather the
following interesting particulars:

We copied few days since from the
Statesman the official account of the organ
ization of the great know Nothing COhSen-
ton held in Cincinnati last fall. The States
man has since been publishing list of the
Lodges, their name and location, numbering
some thousand or more, and established In
about every county in the State, and in some
counties from five to ten Lodges. There
are supposed to be between 10000 and
10000 members to this secret order, each
member paying an initiation fee to the Lodge
he joins, and each Lodge paying fee oi
$4,000 into the Grand Know Nothing
Treasury, making an enormous sum forse-
cret and political purposes.

We omit the names Of these Lodges as the

publication would be of no use except to
show the alarming increase of the Order
and that in this free country and in this free

Pleasant Sport.-It is stated that a noted M.
y. of Indiana has recently created quite a Sc n
sation among members of the medical profess
sion in that section, by his success in trapping
tape-worms. He has invented a gold trap less
than an inch il length and about a quarter OF
an inch in diameter. A bait is placed within
the trap, and after the patient has tasted sew
eral days, the apparatus is lowered by means
OF a string, down the throat Of the PATIENT
The worm. which is supposed to be hungry,
pushes into The trap to seize the bait, aud is in
SANITY caught by descending portculis, and
the operator feeling a bite pulls on the string
and draws outtrap, worm and all. The inyen-
ton of sucha trap is no fiction. /: has actu.
ally been patented at Washingtcn--Roch Dem.
