.Home Again..

We are glad to get back to our SanetilH.
True everything here is not quite as precise
as in parlor; the exchanges are scattered
about, sometimes on the floor and some
times on the table, and the books and manu-
script articles and clippings are not always
arranged in "regulnr order," but after all
there is kiad Of a "home look" that
has charm for us. We are glad to get
back again and if our health will justify it,
we intend to stay here from this time forth
and labor earnestly to make the Sentinel
, an acceptable journal TO every reader and
every family circle where it goes. ,.
"a We are pleased to know that during our
! absence, the Sentinel has been in faithful and
com competent hands. From the we'll earned
reputation of Mr.. STEVENS 40 a promt and
energetic man Of bbsiness, we felt fully
warranted in intrusting our affairs to him,
and as we expected, on Our return, we find
everything "right side up with care We
are indebted to him for most Of the original
articles which appear in the paper OTTO

Theodore ParKcrs, Lecturc.

THEoDoRE PARKER of Boston, lectured
last Thursday evening, at the Town Hall,
The people Of Ravenna, had but few hohrs
notice, and as consequence, there was not
as large an attendance as would otherwise
have been there was however, considering
all the circumstances, good audience.
His subject was "Tho Progress of Man.
kind. We have not time to notice all the
points made by the speaker. After demonstra.
ting by one OF the clearest arguments we have
ever heard, the fact, that the race of man has
made great progress, he then proceeded to
speak OF some Of tho causes which hinder
US from that rapid and glorious advancement
which would otherwise be the lot of men.
t His remarks upon Misdrected Industry"
were powerful and impressive and exhibited
q clearness OF mental vision, and depth
and power of argument, seldom equalIed by
the great minded ihen of our time. The
subjects of War and Slavery, were treated
of with ability and shown to be only monu-
ments Of misdireeted industry. While in an
early age of the world, they may have been
in a certain way, instruments of progress,
they are noto, only as millstones weighing
down and crushing out the noblest energies
of the nations.
~ Mr.. PARKER is to our mind, model lee.
turer. There is no attenpt at display, no
flourish no defamation He talks to his
audience. He is plain, frank and candid.
And now, why can't we huve series of
lectures in Ravenna the coming winter!--
We doubt not but the services of such men
as PARKER, TAYLOR, BEEcHgR and CHAPLIN
while they are on their winter tours through
the Ohio, could be secured. ,a
1t would cost our citizens but little and the
benefits to be derived therefrom, could hard
ly be calculated. ,.....

PErERsoN's MAGAZINE for December, is
on our table. This Is the last number for
the year. Taking the past as a sampIe for
the future, we believe that great improve
ments WILDE made in this capital Magazine
for 1866. The reading matter will be in
creased to nine hundred pages year. Each
number will contain a steel engraving; a
colored fashion plate, and about forty wood
engravings, The fashions are alway pret-
tier and later in % Peterson" than in any 9th
er magazine. Mrs. Ann S. Stevens, the
celebrated author of "Fashion and Fam
inc" is one Of the editors, and writes exclu-
siveiy for it, assisted by oil of the best fe-
male authors. No other magazine has such
stories as this: and morality and virtue are
always inlculcated. The terms are dollar
less than those of other magazines of similar
rank, viz. $500 year, instead of $780,
To clubs the terms are cheaper yet, three
copies being sent for $500, FIVE copies for
$3.50, and eight copies for $1,000, with
splendid premium to the person getting up
the club. Address, postpaid, CHARLES ].

INDIAN SUMMER.

There is time just ere the frost
Prepares 10 pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, in reverie lost,
The mellow daytime dreames away;
When summer comes in musing mind,
TO gaze once more on hill and dell,
To T ark how many sheaves they bind,
And see II allare ripened well. II.
With baliny breath she whisperalow,
The dying flowers look up, and give
Their sweetest incense, ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters meath the woodlands shade,
Her zeyphyrs iift the lingering leaf,
IS And bear II gently where srs.laid s
The loved And lost ones ofitsg grief.
Al last Old Autumn, rising, takes
Again his sceptef and his throne,
With boisterous hands the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summers sighing, flies the plain,
And waiting Winter, ,gaunt and grim,
Sees misor Autumns hoard his grain,
And smiles to think Its all for him.

-- A BRAVE BRAKEmAE.--On the express
train over the Galena road yesterday, sad
accident occurred at Oak Ridge. A lady,
while stepping from one car to another
slipped and fell between the cars. The cars
were moving slowly at the time, and the
wheels passed over both her legs, between
the knees and ankles, severing them from
the body. The brakeman of the train i'm.
mediately jumped from the cars, and, spring.
ing under the moving train pulled the wo
man under the brake rod and sustained her
until the train stopped, and thus saved her
