&D~ A coroners inquest was held on the
18th inst, near Bowling Green. over the
dead body of Frenchman, (name not as
certained) who came to his death somewhat
singularly about three weeks ago. The man
had been working for some of the farmers
in the neighborhood for several months, and
was supposed to have accumulated little
money, which he was saving to defray the
expense of bringing his family to this coun-
try from the borders of the Rhine. He was
found near some brush he had been burning,
in the edge of the woods, not far from the
premises of Dr.. w. G. Lamb He had
been missing several days, and when found,
as we hear his head and one arm were gone.
The verdict of the coroners jury was, that
be came to his death by suffocation, from his
clothes taking fire. Suspicion is entertained
that he may have met with foul play at the
hands of German friend Of his, who is also
missing.

GJ> We hope the Republicans of Wood county
will not forget the above call for a county mass
convention, at Bowling Green, for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the Republican state conyen-
ton to be held at Columbus on the 18th Of July.
good turn out on Wednesday next will be eyi-
dence that the people of Wood county alive and
interestedin the great contest pending between
the adherents of slavery and freedom. 1t is a
test in which labor and the Laborer considered
either honorable debased. And its decision rests
upon the political action and votes of the aboring
men themselves for they are the mass of our voters
The freemen of the north can certainly never con-
sent to be placed beside slaves in the field of labor
in social estimation. Why do not our working
men go south to better their condition: labor
mands higher prices there than here? The reason
is obvious: their social condition there would be
but little above that of menas slaves in the eyes
of the employers. What, then, shall be
sponse when these petty arstocrats propose to bring
their human chattels and establish the peculiar
institution" in the wide territories of the hitherto
free northwest? VIII not our laboring men rise
up as one man and say to Frank Pierce, Douglas
and Atchison NO! Shall we not sweep away all
doughfaces from places of Office and influence and
replace them with men of stern, free, republican
virtues? 1t is the duty of this generation to trans
NIT our fair heritage untarnished to sons. Shall
we bequeath to them the infamy of allowing slave
ry to usurp an empire Of freedom and blast it by
banshing free laborers from it Every working
man has stake in this contest, and should see to
it that his rights as MAN respected.

"TuREG HoURs SCHOOL A DAY--A TALK
WITH PARENTS Under the above title,
the late VIM L. Crandall prepared volume
in which he asserts as the result Of his long
experience in teaching, that six hours school
in d day is too much; that it is exerting
ruinous influence upon children, physically,
intellectually and moral y--that three hours
school day would be much better, nni
would be likely to qualify the youths of our
land for far grea ter usefulness in after lie
that these youths should not be forced
through their education previous to the age
of sixt teen but should remain connected with
school till they are twenty-One, and should
meanwhile devote a portion Of their time to
learn a trade, laborng upon the soil, or It
girls. should aCquainl themselves with the
practical duties Of housewifery. - Buffalo
Republic.
There are probably many parents who will
heartily endorse these views of Mr.. Crandall.
There is certainly much truth in them when
applied to young children, whose nervous
energies become greatly impaired and some
times prostrated BY being kept seated and
still upon hard benches for from to hours
per day. And even this severe tax upon the
times augmented by keeping them an hour OF
two after school hours, or during the ordina.
ry rcceSses, to complete lesson, or as pun
ishment for some misdemeanor. Children
need great deal of exercise in order to 4
healthy growth, and the less confinement
they are subjected to, in school or elsewhere,
the better for them

published at Philadelphia, at 50 for one copy

the editor, is by far the best tale writer Of
the age. His stories always contain good
moral his scenes are natural and life like !;
and his characters are sometimes made to
utter some of the truest moral sentiments to

SERIOUS AccIDENr.--WhiIe the packet
Delphi, was passing under the bridge over
the canal on what is called the Jerome road,
couple of miles above this place, on Tues
day afternoon last the aforesaid bridge fell,
seriously injuring two of the lady passen-
gers, Miss Holgate, Of Defiance, and Mrs
Baker, also of that place. The former lady
received confusion on one foot, by fall,
ing timber, which if it does not prove fatal,
will probably MAIN her for life. The latter
was precipitated into the canal, and came
very near being drowned before she was res
cued Miss Gallup of Texas, also received
a slight confusion from the accident
We hear gross carelessness charged 10 those
having in management the packet, in not
needing the timely warning and loosening
the line, while passing under the bridge
which was undergoing state of repair, and
was propped up in consequence, and which
the tow-lne was the cause of throwing from
its foundation and causing the casualty

BREAD CAST on THE WATER-An in
stance Of the advantages Of advertising fell
under our observation day or two since,
which we shall mention, for the comfort of
those who are strong in the faith and the
instruction of that small class fiction. A
house in this city, had large lot of small
hand bills printed, and distributed broad
cast over the country. They were thrown
in all the hotels, into the market wagons,
and a number found their way aboard of
the canal packet. A passenger took one
up and after perusing in threw it down and
a gust Of wind swept it overheard. All the
good that single hand bill could have effec-
ted, it would seem had been accomplished /;
but the result proved to the contrary. 1t
rested on the surface of the water, and f.
nally foated round the bow of canal boat,
and attracting the attention of the Captain,
and out of mere curiosity, he lifted it out
of the water and read it. The result was
that the Boston Shoe Store sold him S37
worth of boots and shoes, the profit on
which, though small, was probably sufiic-
ent to pay the entire cost of the hand bills
The boots and shoes sold will probably be
worn by dozen persons, and each walk
ing advertisement for the shoe store, will
make the bread cast upon the waters a pay
ing investment.-JournaI.

would have been in attendance. The Con
