re- A writer in one of the religious
papers, speaking of the chanticleer and
the eagle on the spires of churches. says
that they were used as national signs
throughout the Roman Empire, until
the permanent establishment of Chris
tianity and the invention of the cross by
Helena, when that sacred symbol, to a
great extent, even in France, supplanted
the national one, though the Gallo cock
has maintained his individuality more
tenaciously than his rival, the Royal ca
gle of Rome. At the time of the Con-
tinental Reformation thousands ofspires,
by this simple sign, proclaimed the in
dependence of a Cis-Alpine and CALI
can Church, and led those honored men
who framed the Frank Protestant and
Genevan Churches, seeing the abuses
of the cross on every side, to again
adopt their national emblem, as the
crowning point of their village spires.

CELEBRATED GERMAN BITTERS,

Their power over the above diseases is not
excelled, if equalled, by any other preparation
in the United States, as the cures attest. in ma

These Bitters are worthy the attention of in

in weakness and affections Of the digestive or

A Man from Cincinnati Lynched al
Weston. Mo,

We were shown private letter dated
Weston, Mo. May 17th. written by 6
business man Of that place, which states
that on that day, "and sbolitonist from
Cincinnati was disco. cred ;" that great
excitement ensued: a large crowd col
lectcd, the obnoxious individual was
seized, stripped, tarrcd and fcathered,
carried through town on rail, and then
sold at auction 10 the loves; bidder, il
being stated by the auctioneer that he
was zone OF the meanest of niggers. -
The Missouri Republican of the 23l
has tho following, which doubtless re-.
lcrs to the same case:
"a letter from friend, written on
board the Martha Jewett, May 18th, in.
forms US that an aboI itionist named Phil.
lips was tarred and featherod at Weston
the day previous. He then went to
Leavenworlh, and on the 18th the people
there were getting up an excitement in
his case. Public opinion was divided
in relation to this affair, Free Soilers
and Pro Slavery men deneuncing it,
Phillips, if we mistake not, was the
man who put the pistol in McCrea' s
hands, with which he killed CLARK, and
this, it is presumed, was the primary
cause of the excitement against him."
Can any one inform US whether man
named Phillips has removed to Weston
or its vicinity from this city Cincin.

B&y-Las, winter tho Register sdvi.

BE- Last winter the Register advi.
sed the public that the Ohio Iron and
Coal Company was making arrange
ments for a voluntary surrender Of its
charter, hence VIC have for long time
been silent in regard TO that monopoly.
At the time the announcement Of such
intention was made, though it came
from the organ Of the company, which
has heretofore spoken with authority,
we doubted very much whether the men
composing that corporation, would make
a voluntary surrender Of the extraofdi.
nary powers they possess. We have
heard nothing on the subject lately; but
we have heard it reported that the COM
pony design to engage in erecting finc
hotel in the place, above the depot.
We should be glad TO see another
good hotel. in the place; bu, before an.
other hotel can fnd~custom, lronton
must be connected with other places by
rail road; because at present we are as
completely hcdsed in and fenced up, as
Burlington, Millcrsport, Greenupsburg,
or any other town on the river.
If the Ohio Iron and Coal Company
should desire to make voluntary sur.
render of thcir charter, its dissolution
could be effected in one day, at any
time, because the stockholders or a ma.
jority Of them, all reside near here. We
don't think the "Co." intends to do any
such thing. But we now give them fair
notice. that the sense Of the people will
be taken on the subject, at the next elec.
ton, as TO whether land monopoly Of
such character will be tolerated in the
county.
We have often spoke Of the merits o.
this Institution, and we expect 10 do so
frequently hereafter.

Death Of Joshua C0IlGt.

This venerable to excellent, and uni
versally beloved man, died at his resi-
dence near Lebanon, on the 23l inst, a
a very advanced age. He has for sever
a years been in feeble health. His last
illness was protracted and very severe
Judge Collett was a native of Virginia
He came to Ohio at an early day, and
has been resident OF Warren County fol
about half century. In this communi.
ty it is superAuous to speak of the char.
actef OF Judge Collett. He was regarded
as one of the most perfect mon in all
the relations Of life that ever lived in
our midst. As a sincere, ,circunspect, and
consistent Christian as an uprigh: and
able Judge; as a father, brother, friend
and neighbor, his praise is on the lips OF
all who knew him. For the greater por.
ton OF his life he was member Of the
Baptist Church. in which relation i, was
always his aim TO initiate the lovely
character of Christ, and to promote his
cause on earth.
The good man is at last gathered to
his fathers in ripe old age, and he has
gone to partake Of the joys Of an ever.
lasting inheritance--to enjoy that crest
that remaineth for the people of God."-

ED" LAST Saturday we rode out to
Esq. CHATFIELD's, on Pine Creek. We
have been in no part Of the county, where
crops look any more prosperous than
on Pine Creek. The bottoms are broad
fertile, and appear TO be we'll cultivated.
Mr.. EAKENs. formerly OF this place, who
last winter purchased the farm of JoHY
r. GoLDcAMP, appears to be doing we'll.
He has put in large crops Of corn and
oats, and they all look well. We met
Major KELLY. the old "Spread Eagle"
he is hale and hearty, and gave US cor.
dial invitation to spend the Sabbath and
attend Church with him. He is now
putting up machinery for "Merchant'
Touring mill.
The old Major was one of the pio.
noers in Elizabeth Township. He has
made his influence widely felt.
For but very small sum we might
have good carriage road from this place
10 Pine Creek. All that is wanting is
the expenditure Of some work between
lronton and the top Of the hill this side
OF Pine Grove Furnace. From that
point to Kelly's Mills, there is now one
of theshsst roads in the County. The
way we went, there is no horrid hill 20
ascend, between La Grange and the Pine
Grove Summit.
We hope that somebody will take ac.
tlon in the premises, and have road
located at one. There is now a good
road more than half of the distance
from this point to the summit.

Division Of California.

A bill for the division Of California
has been previously noticed in our col.
umns as having been introduced into the
Legislature at its present session. This
bill provides for tho erection OF three
separate States within the present terrific.
ry Of California. or these the first or
southernmost, bears the name Of Colora.
do, and embraces full half, if not more,
OF tho area ofstho present State. The
second or middle, or popuous region,
including San Francisco and the great
mining centres. It's to be called Califor.
no. The third is the northern division
OF the territory, and is 10 bc called Shesta.
The act provides that all the require.
ments and powers Of the constitution Of
the State OF California shall apply aud
be in foil force and effect in the new
States Of Colorado and Shesta, and shal
not be altered or changed by the people
thereof until the expiration Of one year
from the date Of tho formation Of State
government in said States.
Among the provisions is the prohibi.
ton Of Slavery. After long debate on
the Bill, on the l7ih Of April, in the
House of Representatives, i, was no mo.
ton Of its originator, Mr.. Douglas, re.
lered to select a committee Of nine,
with instructions TO report an address
to the people of California. The pre-.
valent sentiment in the House appeared
to be- in favor Of division, but desire
was felt to take popular vote on the
subject. The main reason urged for
division is, that the Pacific settlements
should have an adequate representa-.
ton in Congress. But the southern or
agricultural section has another reason,
which is. that it has to pay most of the
expenses of the present State, while the
mining regions receive the benefits Of the
Legislation.

Another Strike,

The puddlefs of the Hanging Rock
Rolling Mill are now on a strike, no,
for pay, but for higher prices. Mr.
Hampstead has been paying IS per ION
but we are informed that the Cincinnati
and Portsmouth mills are paying Sc pei
ton, and that the workmen at the Roc k
only demanded the same prices that are
being paid at other places. The Gin.
:, clnnaii rates, We presume. will be adopt.
ed at all of the Iron works in this region.
We are rnder obligations to Mr.. J. B.
BRATT, for furnishing US a list of eight
new subscribers at Hanging Rock. We
trust that the friends OF equal rights will
be vigilant in the extension Of our paper,
because the more they do 10 encourage
us, the abler will we be TO advocate their
rights. We hope to put up our circula.
tion to 5000, in the course of the pres.
cnt year.
Since the above was in type, there has
been strike among the iron workers in
this place. The workmen demand Sc
per ton for pudding, they have been re.
ceving S. per ton. We understand
that the mills propose to compromise by
paying $3.50 per ton, which will be an
average between the Pittsburg and Gin.
cinnati prices.
We think it would be advisable for
the working men to accept the offer; as
compromise they can honorably do so,
and then when prices shall be further
advanced at Pittsburg and Wheeling,
they will be correspondingly increased
here.
But while the mills in this place con.
tinue their connection with stores and
groceries, they will be apt to find the
working men intractablc, and that
strikes will be frequent. The iron bust.
ness, is Of itself, capable of standing on
its own legs, if we'll managed; and for
the honor of lhe'business, as we'll as for
the sake Of good feeling among the peo.
pie, We hope the manufacturers will
leave the business of merchandising to
the merchants.
