SINGULAR FREAK OF A You've Girl
The Pittsburg Chronicle, of the goth
ult., says:
"a young German girl who resided
with Mrs. Algeo on the bank of the Ohio
River, about three miles below the city,
disappeared suddenly in the following
singular On last Friday, at
noon, when the farm laborer came to his
dinner, Mrs. Algeo requested the young
girl to bring a bucket of water from the
river. As she passed put of the house,
she picked up a Ratchet left by the farm
hand at the door, and took it with her.
Remaining away so long, Mrs. Algeo be-
came alarmed about her, and began to
make search after her whereabouts. She
learned from a man in the employ of a
neighbor, that he had seen her on a fiat
boat, which was tied to the shore below.
On examining the spot they found her
shoes and stockings lying on the bank,
and discovered that she had cut the ca
BILE attached to the boat with the hatoh-
ct. The current being very swift, the
fatboat and its occupant were swept
away with railroad speed. Nothing had
been heard of the girl up to Monday"

We are glad to learn that Col. MEDIA
NJ, the staunch and reliable editor of the
Ohio Statesman, intends to issue a cam.
paign sheet. The first number will be
issued on Thursday, June 9th, and will
contain the proceedings Of the Demo-
cratic National Convention, and will be
continued weekly until after the result
of the Presidential election is known.
The terms, Invariably IN aduGnce, will
be q copy, $500; four copies; So, 90;
eight copies, $500; eighteen copies,
$1,000; sent to one post Office and to a
single address; fifty copies, s25, 90; and
100 copies, $4,000. We hope to see a
club got up in every township in the
county. Democrats should patronize
their own journals instead of such east
ern mammoth Black Republican organs
as the New York Tribune, which teens
with abolitionism, wars against the con-
s~titution and the Union, and whose edi-
tors a find no higher employment for
their talents than to yillify and tradu ce
some of the purest Democrats in the ma
ton. Again we say, Democrats, take
your Y party organs.

Account Of the Earthquake al

We clip the following letter of Mr..
b. H. Doty from the .AAG Californian.
Mr.. d. was one of Commodore Perry's
company at the time hat officer was at
Japan, and concluded the celebrated
treaty between the United States and
that country:
GAS the news brought by the schoon.
er Page from Japan, and published by
the city papers generally, was of that
startling nature which sometimes re.
fleets a shadow Of doubt in the mind OF
the reader as to its authenticity, and
having noticed a slight mistake in the
account of it published by one ef your
contemporaries, 1 avail myself of tins
method to state that while I was at ST.
moda an official account of the awful ca
lamity was proclaimed by the govern
ment of Simoda (sixty miles distant
from Jeddo) to the people.
Son the 9TH of December all the tenn
Piles of Simoda were closed at IL o'clock
when thep priests formed a procession at
the government building and proceeded
to the quay, where they made offerings
to their gods, the fury of whose wrath
they had experienced, and whose anger
they desired to appease. No official in
formation of it had been declared at IIa.
kodadi when we left, though full partic-
ulars of it had been received.

ated the ~account:

hours AS minutes p. NJ, a shock was
experienced which aroused the inhabit-
ants who rushed into the street. About
three minutes subsequently, another
shock occurred, which os~cillated the
earth northeast and southwest. The
crash of falling buildings was heard
throughout the city; fires broke out in
thirty different places, covering an extent
of fourteen miles. Another, which
threw everybody off their feet, succeed
ed, when the earth opened in the north
east part of the city, and closed over
many thousand houses and inhabitants.
The exact number of inhabitants, tenn
pies and dwellings, had not been ascer-
tanned by the government, but there had
been already shown by the district rec
oros OF the CITY that 5U,OuU people, 5Uu
Buddhist and Sintoo temples, and 101
dwellings and stores were destroyed. and
it is thought when all the districts made
their returns these numbers would be
greatly increased. The shocks were so
severe at Simoda that many buildings
were slightly damaged. and the people
could not keep on their feet. AS near
as I could learn, the shock extended in
a northeast and southwest direction
The volcano Ohu Sima, at the enter
ance of the Bay of Jeddo, thirty miles

[ApvERTIsEMENr

Editor Ashland Union SIN As YOU
appear to be laboring with eommendabIe zeal
to keep your readers posted in regard to all
matters affecting their political, social and Pc
cuniary welfares, permit US to call their atten-
ton to the fact that we have just received the
heaviest stock of Spring and Summer Goods
that we have ever brought to this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock we deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
ry one who will favor us, with a call will find it
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles OF
every style, variety and quality of Ladies
Dress Goods, and Gentlemen's Summer Wear,
together with a large assortment of House
Keeping Goods, Queensware, Groceries, DC.
Having changed our mode of doing business,
it will be proper for US to state, for the salts
faction Of our OLD customers, briefly, our rea-
sons for SO doing. Our first great object is to
sell goods CHEAP. To do this we must have the
money to buy our goods cheap. We wish to
avoid the losses of bad debts and " long wind
ed " customers we wish to save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. By
SO doing we can and will sell goods at much
less pronts Than is possible Tor any credit STORE
to do LIST, because we shall have the money
to buy our goods, which will save US 10 per
cent, ; 2nd, because we shall save the expense
of one Clerk Sd, we will ave 5 per cent. for
making collections, losses by bad debts and
expense of books. All things considered, we
Think it safe to say that it will make a differ
enee of at least Is per cent. to the consumer.
This being true we think every man, woman
and child who can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves of the advantages of this sys.
tenn. Those who never expect to pay for their
goods, of course care but little about the price.
All those who wish to buy goods cheap for rea
dy pay can find stock of goods which for va
riety. styles and low prices, has never been
equaled in the County, by calling on thei,
friends and well-wishers,

HON. JAMES BUoHANAN.

Among all the distinguished Demo
cratic Statesmen whose names will bt
presented for the Presidential nomina
tion at the meeting of the next Demo
cratic National Convention, no ont
would be so acceptable, we believe, tt
the Democracy of this State, and, in
deed, of the whole Union, as Hon. JANE:
BUCHANAN. Confident, we are, that he
is the first choice of four-ffths of the
Democracy of Ashland County. During
a public life of forty years his record
stands without a blemish. Not having
been a member of Congress since the
r~e-opening of the Slavery agitation, he
stands entirely disconnected from that
yexed question, thus making him decl-
dedly the most available man that can
be selected. True, we know some good
Democrats who object to him on the
ground Of his ayailability-they prefer
Ia man, who will run the Presidential
race on the slavery issue alone. But
why is JAMES BUCHANAN available. Has
he aver proved false in the hour of trial!
Is he less national in his views, less ar
dent in his devotion to the Constitution
than his distinguish he'd competitors? By
no means. We love the principles OF
the Democratic party as ardently, we
trust, as any man, but we equally desire
the triumph of those principles. A
Black Republican triumph We should
regard as a national calamity. We
would choose an available man that sue
cess might not even be endangered
With JAMES BUCHANAN for our nomi.

tie son. New York, with a united De.
mocracy, would sweep everything. Ohio
and the mighty West would come gal
lantly to the rescue, while in all proba-
bility every southern State would cast
It's electoral vote for the Democratic
nominees, and JAMES BUCHANAN would
be elevated to the highest Office in the
gift of any people, with a unanimity
unparalleled. We shall give the nomi-
nees of the Convention, whoever they
may be, our cordial support. We go
for both principles and men. But our
first choice is for JAMES BUCHANAN, the
man the people and not the politicians
desire to see elevated to the next Presi-
dency.
