love and LcRp-Xcars,

OF course something must be said
occasionally toploase the ladies-or at
least to interest them, evenifwo should
be scolded for it. And now we think
ofit, and may as well say, that one oI
the opposite sex recently threatened
to demonstrate the scienGe of pugilisu
upon om diminutivo person. W.
grant that woman has as much right
to drub the men folks during Leap
Year as to make love to them; yet
We have two objections to the dru5-
bing, 1t is doubtless all matter OF
taste, but We much prefer, in the first
place, the love-making to the thrash
ing. One feels better afterwards. -
In other words, it is moro agreeable
to run the risk Of obtaining an addi-
tional rib than to brave termagant
and having one broken that we already
possess. Oar second objection is,
that women, when angry, are not
handsome at all, and when fighting
they are positively ugly. We could
bring al witnesses to prove this:
viz, Shakespeare the Talmud, and the
lookingglass. "Kate the Cur8t," aft
er she had been tanned in a very sin
gular manner by Petruchio, says:
A woman moved islike fountain troubled,
Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft ofbeauty';
And while it is so, none so dry or thirsty
Will deign to sip, or taste one drop oft"
The above we consider sufficient
evidence to sustain our position, and
proceed to say what we had intended
at the com lncncement of this arti-
Gle.
1t may perhaps be interesting to all
young ladies already unaware of the
Important tact, that leap-year empow-
ers them to do something moro than
pop the question" A writer in
"Notes and Queries says, that fair
friend, who of course, is posted in
leap-year privileges, has informed him
that she should SO far forget heselfas as
to suggest a union between herself
and bachelor friend, from whom,
should he be SO uncivil as to decline
her proposal, she could thereupon de.
mand the gift Of a new silk Dress
But, to claim this dress with propriety,
she must, at the time Of asking, be the
wcarer Of a scarlet petticoat; which,

LOCAL DEPARTMENT.
Broke Eaii,

About dusk on Saturday evening
last, our usually quiet Village was
thrown into excitement by an attempt
on the part of the prisoners to escape
from the Jail. They had been furnish,
cd by some persons unknown, with q
crow-bar and chiscl. Rhodes stat
ed that they had fonnd those instru.
ments upon the window sill on that
morning. Sheriff Tissuc being ab.
sent, they had been digging hole
through tho wall, at the north part of
the Jail, just. above the place where
Leach made his escape, during the
whole day. They had succeeded in
making 4 hole large enough to get
through at dark. James Sullivan,
sentenced to'thc penitentiary for three
years, ,crawled out first and immediate.
" took to his heels, much to the
chagrin OF Rhodes, who, as he had
helped jimmy out, expected like
service in return. Mr., j P. Plyley,
whose law Office window in the Court
House is opposite and within a few
ft.of the place where Jimmy made his
exist, happened to see the last named
prisoner just as he had landed on
terra tirma, and Immediately gave the
alarm. A brisk race now occurred, the
prisoner, or rather the runaway,
dropped his coat to assist him in his
flight, and several citizens after him,
whooping, huTaing and doing up the
tallest kind drumming.
Within half hour all parties re
turned, the prisoner having been caught
about three quarters Of a mile from
town. Rhodes did not succeed in
Citing out,
Guards were placed around the jail
and prisoners hand,cufed and put in
their sells.

crs:
The nearest point to ChilIicothe,
where coal is mined, is at the mine Of
Seneca W. Ely, Esq, the former edi.
tor Of the Scioto Gazette, and at pres
ent the Secretary Of the Rail Road
Company. His colliery is 26 miles
cast Of Chillicothe, and the vein Of
coal only about 80 inches in thickness.
The distance from Cincinnati to this
coal bank, by the Little Miami and
the Marietta and Cincinnati r. T., is
123 miles, and to 2aleski 139 miles,
The Marietta Road is under Contract
to carry coal and iron at one cent per
ton per mile, which will make the
cost Of transportation from Zaleski to
Cincinnati, fraction over four and a
hdJ cents per bushel, estimating the
coal at % 57-100 bushels to the ton.
The Road is now finished to Big
Sand, and will be completed to Athens
the 1st OF May. The coal and iron on
the Western end Of this Road cannot
be exhausted for many generations,
and must afford a constant source of

SHOCKING AFFAIR IN PENNSYLVANIA.
"A correspondent at Reamstown,
Pa, writes on the 30th, ultimo;
Last Thursday night o man went
to q farm house, and told the farmer
if he did not give him fifty dollars he
would burn his house down. The
farmers son was going to shoot him,
but the farmer prevented him from SC
doing. In few minutes, however,
the barn was in a blaze, but the farm.
er and his son we're too frightened to
go out, for fear the man would murder
them, and, therefore, three valuable
horses, two hundred sheep, and thirty
head Of cattle were destroyed. On
investigation the body Of a
man was discovered in the ruins, with
o dirk-knife in his belt. 1t is suppos-
ed that there were three or four men,
and while one went for the money the
others set the barn on fire, and while
i'll the act of setting the barn on fire
one of them received a violent kick
from a cross old horse, AMI there fore
he could not get away, and was burnt
to death. The wicked are punished
some time or other. The farmer re-
ceived assistance by blowing on
horns"
