We learn from Mr. blancnaru, one Oh tne
contractors on the Detroit and Milwaukee
Railway, that he has now force OF nearly
one hundred men engaged on the work near
Lyons, in this county, and Notwithstanding
the severity Of the weather, active operations
have continued without interruption.
Much credit is due Mr.. B. for the untir
ing energy and perseverance, he has manifest
ed in the advancement of the superstructure
of this work. He has encountered many
serious obstacles, but his ingenuity has been
equal to the task Of overcoming them. We
cannot believe his pecuniary reward will be
large, but the thanks of the Railway eompa-
ny, and the pleasure Of seeing the locomo-
tive ere long, come booming, putting and
snorting over the track into our beautiful vii
lage will be sufficient to repay him."

A CASE OF C1RcUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE,

The following anecdote, appropos of the
gold medals-some OF them Of great value
which the French Government is distributing
to the members Of the International Jury and
Others, is related by a French correspondent
of the Courier DIES Etats Unis. The scene
is laid in drawing-room in Paris. One of
the company was showing a gold medal
which had been awarded him, and which was
worth five thousand francs, the medalpassed
from hand to hand, and when, half an hour
afterwards, the owner asked for it again, it
could not be found. Every nook and corner
was searched, but in vain. This sudden dis
appearance produced considerable agitation in
the company, which was select but numer-
Gus, and finally some one proposed that eve
ry one should be searched, the men by the
men and the women by the women. All
the persons present signifed their assent,
with the exception of single individual,
who had been presented that very evening
for the first time in the house. This man
declared very calmly yet decidedly, that he
could not consent to be searched. The effect
these words produced may easily be imagin-
ed. 1t was no longer doubted that he was
the robber, and the gentleman who introduc-
ed him was more dead than alive.
The master of the house was about turn
ing the supposed thief into the street. and the
owner of the medal had already entreated
the company to forget the circumstance, when
lady having risen from her seat, 10! the
missing medal suddenly fell out Of one Of the
founces of her dress, into which it had acci-
dentally slipped and buried itself. The SEN
sation produced by this sudden denouement
was prodigious. A cry of joyful surprise re-
sounded throughout the room. The individ-
ual suspected of the theft was declared inno-
cent. rs
Renouncing thereupon the stoical calm
ness which had hitherto characterized his de-
meanor, "This," said he, gentlemen, is the
explanation of my conduct, which doubtless
seemed to you inexplcaable. If 1 would not
consent to be searched, it was because / was
a stranger to every one present, and because,
by strange coincidence-so strange that no
one would have believed it possible had
on my person medal exactly similar to the
one that was lost" He then produced the
medal, which if it had been found on him
would have ruined him quarter of an hour
before, but which was now but an additional
proof of his innocence. This incident which
l myself witnessed, is but another proof of
the uncertainty of human judgments. ni

This is perhaps the last number Of
the Democrat that we will issue; as
we have about closed 9 colract for the
sale Of the press, and as we could not
have a better evidence of the truth oil
our positions for the past two years,
before the democracy Of Vinton than
will be found in this paper in the cas-:
OF Meekervs. Beck, We have devoted
a large share Of our paper to this evil
dence. I'VE have frequently told you
Iha the knownothings were a secret
political organization having Tor its
object government syour, without
consulting you either directly or indi-
rectly; that they were bound by honid
oaths, That these oaths compelled
them to lie. This is so. and such is
the lact, that one Of them dare mol
swear the truth in a Court of Justice
until he gets permit from the Presi,
dent Of the State council, who is at
the present time, no less parsonage
than Lieut.. Gov. Ford, ,..all these things
we now prove to you under the solem
sanctions of oathes administered to the
witnesses in court OF Com. Please oil
Ross Co. o. We hope every man
will read all the evidence and ponder
over the state of morals that we as a
people were running into. Hundreds
are leaving the order daily who joined
it out OF curiosity at first, and others
who seen its wickedness would moi
meet nor act with them but who value
their word 10 much to betray their Sc
crets alter taking the oaIhs. One thing
all shonld remember that The oath is
not binding legally nor morally, ,hence
all should renounce it. Again We say
let every body read this case
