ier students Of the [. A. University scattered
all over the west, who k7o10 this charge to be
true, and the fact Of his now denying It proves
one of two things-he at that time was either
AN arrant hypocrite, or he is now wilfal fatsi-

EGreencastle, there was not to be fcand a man
who ever questioned the genuineness of his
abolitionism. He and the whole troop Of hts
Yankee friends were thus knowna and regard
ed-in short, it was supposed thatit was part
of his religion, and that he promulgated his
! abolition notions as matterof religious duty.
It's also notorious in this county, that GER
tain Yankee by the name of Coleman, who, if
we mistake not, came to the west with old Pap,
and who was for a considerable time a men :

6E7The Sandusky Register narrates the
following affecting story
In the Lunrtic Asylum at Columbus is a
pair of insane lovers. Mental anxiety Of a
peculiar character is supposed 10 have deranged
the intellect of the young man, who was sent
to the Asylum some time ago, cured, it was
hoped permanently, and sent home. While at
home he fell deeply in love With young girl,
who returned his devotion, and they became
tenderly attached to each other. But unhap-
PLY, the malady returned upon the young
man; he was separated from the object of his
love, and sent back to the Asylum Left to
herself, to muse upon her bereavement, and
the sad destiny of her lover, the mind of the
girl became also affected, almost as it might
seem, from sympathy-and it was not long,
before she, too, was inmured within the walls
which sheltered him. They are both there
now. Occasionally they seem to have recovered
their reason, and are permitted to hold inter-
views with one another. In one of these, the
poor girl begged her lover to marry her, but
he replied with melancholy, real enough to
bring tears from the listeners-.You know
that we cannot be married, Ellen, we are unfit
for that happiness-poor, unfortunate Great
ures that We areg

Mr.. EDITOR:
have but word to say in reply to the dog
Halls dog article. Mr. Newman informs me
that when he bought the boat and contents of
Hall, as agent, he bought the dog too. The next
we hear of the dog, be is BACKED with printers
ink, and is seen following Hall--lafnaa Jacia
evidence, that Hal was trying to steal him
and as Newman bought the dog, and Hall ac-
knowledges having sent the animal out of
town, he certainly did steal it. never saw
the dog but once, when he followed Hall into
the Court House, as / can prove by Mr. Walk
err Hall there claimed the dog as his o,gn
and as he had been assessed for no dog, he
was at once assessed for this on his own ad-
mission. 1t is my opinion that he stole the
dog, and would have Kept him but for this as
sessment Hall cannot prove the dog was with
me in the Court House when he came in. The
two dogs came together, and # the four-Iegged
animal was hard to coax to Halls side, it was
no doubt because he was ashamed of his COM
pnion. The community is satisfied Hall has
lel about his conversation with Mr. Durham,
and to screen himself from hat, he has raised
this dog stealing question which is just about
adapted to his mental calibre. have given
this subject and its author more attention than
they deserved, and shall have no more to say.
