good paying advertisements, and the
thing is done. Everybody is benefited
and nobody injured. The subscriber

Fraud.
his reward.

The Cleveland Leader gives the fol
lowing account of a financial transaction
in Cuyahoga county, by whichoneJame
Greer, and others defrauded a farmer,
named Thomas Ward
"Greer is an employee on section 10
of the Mahoning Railroad, and Ward a
resident ofBedfOrd township. Three in.
dividuals, Greer, Harry, Brown and
brass Buttons met by appointment,
about sundown,' in August last, and all
engaged, either in the purchase, pay
ment, loading or taking away, sundry
animals, and other property, soldtoOn N Of
the party by Ward, whose farm they
left al midnight, going in the direction OF
Greer's residence.
The careful dame, Mrs. Ward, took
the money from her partner, deposited it
under her pillow until morning and then
returned it TO her spouse, who brought
it 10 Cleveland for deposit in bank when
it appeared hat the whole sum, S6O5,
was counterfeit, all too of one bank
Greer was. on this discovery being made,
arrested and the property. at the same
time, found in his possession, where it was
admitted to have been in two hours, or
less, from the time of its having been ia
ken from Wards.
The defence set uP was that he had
purchased it about 9 og o'clock, A. NJ,
of TWO persons from one of whom he got
a receipt for $500, which he paid in cash
and gave a note for $3.50, and paying
this sum for what he saw sold a few
hours previous for $45 less than he gave.
l. is hardly necessary to say that the
two men were non est inventus."
A later account says Greer was tried
and found guilty.
The Sandusky Mirror claims to be a
Democratic paper, and yet 1t has ven
tured to utter the above sentiments.
Let it bewaIe. The man who talks thus
can never be admitted within the folds
of a party that is cont oiled by the
Washington Union, and the leading
spirits of the present administration.
The test of Democracy is TO be the sup.

Four Teachers Devoured by Cannibals in
one of the South Sea Islands.

The missionary ship, John Williams,
named after the heroic martyr OF Fro
manga, has recently completed a voyage
amon2 the New Hebrides and other
Westerly groups. Among the news
(says the New York Observer, she
brings are some items Of encouragement,
and others of great sorrow. The Journal
of the voyage says:
Al Tan, where the work had been bro
ken up by the ravages of the small pox,
we again landed teachers, who we've re
ceived with a loud shout of Joy. We
were delighted with the improved ap-
p%earance of things at Eromanga. The
teachers had all been i'll, nevertheless,
the work went forward. Since last
voyage the number attending religious
services had been more than doubled.
On reaching the island of Fate, the
distressing news was brought on board
that some of the teachers with their
wives, left there on the last voyage, had
been barbarously murdered. Only nine
teen days after they were landed under
the most cheering circumstances, the
two Raratongan teachers and their wives
were murdered to furnish materials for
a borrid cannibal banquet. The real
reason for this sudden act of cruelty
could not be learned.-N Y. Sun.

On Thursday morning, the 29th inst 3,
Mr.. Edward Johnson, a young man en-
ployed in the Rolling Mill Of Messrs.
James Ward d Co. at Niles, while emp
tying a iron box full of melted cinders,
in the morning when it was yet quite
dark, had the misfortune to turn it out
on some water. This caused an exllo-
sion equal to that of a large cannon
The melted cinder flying all over him,
covered him with fire. His hair was al
most entirely burnt off his head. He
was conveyed home and every attention
paid to him, but after lingering a few
days in the most excIuciating agony
death came to mis- relief.

Wilson Shannon.

The trlth is, Wilson Shannon was a
Demagogue twenty years ago, land has
been falling ever since" BY accident
he became Governor Of Ohio, that made
him of some value in the market, and,
knowing he was a erisLable commo lily,
he traded himself of body and soul
to the slave power, and now is doing
the dirty work for his master. His last
attempt at carrying water upon both
shoulders will sink him beneath the con-
tempt OF former enemies, and secure
him the scorn OF his pro slavery friends.

Heath's Mower and Reaper.

Our citizens will learn with pleasure,
that this invention of a former resident
of this town, has proved TO be eminently
successful. Mr.. Heath has labored I'M
der many difficulties, but it seems that
his indomItable perseverance has sur
mounted them all.
The Sandusky Register says:
awe are informed that the reputation
already acquired by it, (Heath's Mower
and Reaper, is so wide spread that the
demand will only limited by the facili-
ties for supply. 1t was patented en- the
18th of September last but the inven
tor had manufactured Is or 16 machines
while under caveat, and sold them for
the past harvest. These have approved
themselves 10 the judgment of those into
whose hands they came, as the simplest,
most durable and efficient machine yet
invented. So completely did they seem to
meet the ants of farmers, that in some
insiancesth they were atonc anxious 10 dis
posed of other machines which they had
in use and rely wholly upon The new in
venlion.
The superiority of Heath's Machine,
over others in use, consists in its greater
simplicity being wholly destitute Of
gearing, which is at all times liable to
breakage and disorder. The cutting
motion is produced by an irregular or
zig-zag groove in the periphery of the
driving wheel, in which plays a revolving
pivot to which the shears are attached
lhus giving them a vibratory action
whenever the wheel is in motion. The
expense of complicated gearing is thus
saved, and the manufacturer is enabled
to bestow it upon the cutting apparatus,
which is ola superior kind. The knives
are entirely uniform, so that each will fit
upon any part of the bar to which they
are attached.
The exhibition of this machine at the
Indiana State Fair, together With the fact
that it distanced all competition by TAX
ing the first premium, has pretty effect
ually brought it into notice, and its mer-
its have caused it to take a very high
rank. So far as we are capable of esti
mating, it is entitled to be considered
the very best of the kind"
Success TO Mr.. Heath. He deserves
his reward.

ROSE CIARK-A ROMANCE By FANNY
FERN.-Since the Fern Leaves, which
were scattered through the United States,
al most as widely and as thick as the
leaves of autumn, the name of Fanny
Fern has been as familiar to the reading
community rs household words. When
Ruth Hall appeared, apart from the
merits of the book itself, the unbounded
praise which it received from n part Of
the literary world, the severe criticism,
and unmerrited censure from another,
all conspired to bring the authoress still
more prominently before the public
1t produced a profound sensation in a
large circle of society, and its success
vas second only 10 that of Uncle Toms
Ca bin, and perhaps even exceeded that.
A new work therefore from the pen of
the same authoress cannot fail 10 be
read with interest. We have hastily
glanced over its pages, and think it SUI
perior to Ruth Hall.
The publishers say AS respects
the merits of her new work, it does not,
perhaps, become US to- speak yet We
are sure that it is, in every respect, a
greater, better work than Ruth Hall ;
that it will lot only sustain her good
reputation, but ever add greatly to it.
