A Brutal Outrage in the Ohio Peuiten-
tiary---A Committee of Inquiry.
The Columbus Journal, OF. the 18th,
inst, says:
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Mendenhall,
Of Jefferson, offered a resolution to make
INQUIRY into an alleged outrage, said to
have beer perpetrat9d upon prisoner in
the Ohio Penitentiary. The resolution
was adopted, and the inquiry will be
made. For the information Of our read
ers we will state that the following facts
are expected to be proved that prise,
ner who entered the penitentiary year
or two ago, hail very weak eyes. tie
could see to read coarse print, and could
see to work. The late prison physician
one day told him that he could improve
his sight and would pc form an operation.
The prisoner consented, and the opera
ton was performed on one eye, the effect
OF which was that the eye became wholly
sightless Some time afterward the same
physician saw him in the prison, and told
him he intended to try another operation
on the other eye. The prisoner object
ed, and said that one eye had been lost 10
him by the previous operation, and the
remaining one might be. He regarded
it as too great risk for him to run, and
declined having an operation performed
The physician determined it should be
performed, and called to his aid several
of the keepers, and had the man seized,
placed in chair, and held him there by
main strength, until he performed the op-
Grafton. The result of which has been
!, that the prisoner lost the sight of the 9th
err eye, and he is now stone blind for life.
These are the outlines Of the facts as they
have been told to us, and which the Com
mittee expect to substantiate by their in
yestipation

The Portland (Minnesota) transcript,
says that the Hon. Thomas Fl. Ford of
Ohio. and the Hon. James Casey of Penn
sylvania, have laid out town at the juno
ton Of the Zombro and Mississippi Riv-
ers, the head of navigation. The tract
of land was purchased for $4,000. A
few days after the purchase was made,
Ford was offered $4,000 for his inter

promises to be a prosperous one, and the
gallant Captain" sees future wealth and
distinction in the new State of Minnesota.

duty to rcpudiate these contracts with
the solitary exception named. Whether
il will satisfy the Legislature remains tol
be seen. The inviolability of contracts is
a cardinal doctrine Of our political faith,
We have been committed to it all our life.
We cannot change it now. We would
suggest .hat the validity of the contracts
now under consideration be Immediately
tested in Judicial form. The Supreme
Court is in session in The same building
with the Legislature. The law officer OF
the Government, the Attorney General,
is in the city. Let him be instructed by
the Legislature to make case before the
Court. Lethim be empowered to employ
aid If he desires it, the most eminent in
the State. Let the contractors appear
with their counsel. Let their side be
heard, and after hearing of the parties,
let the Court declare the law. 1t they
say the contracts are binding, no vote oi
the Legislature can unloose them. II
they pronounce them fraudulent and void
no vote of the Legislature can save them
from their doom. We presume that if
the Legislature should declare them void,
the contractors will test the question in
the Courts. So, 10 that complexion 1T
must come at last. The sooner it is de-
cided, the better for all parties.

THE POETRY OF PHYsIc.-4yer's Pills, glide
sugar-shod, over the palate, but their energy,
although wrapped up, is there, and tells with
giant force on the foundations of disease.
There are thousands of sufferers who would
not wear their distempers if they knew they
could be cured for % cts.-Iry Ayers Pills,
and you will know it.
Purify the blood and diseases will be starved
out. Cleanse the system from impurities and
you are cured already. Take this best of all
purgatives, and Indigestion, Scrofula, Weak
ness, Headache, Backache, Sideache, Jaundicc,
rheumatism, arrangements of the Liver, Kid
neys, and Bowels, all arrangements and all
diseases which purgative remedy can reach,
fly before them like darkness before the Sun.
Reader if you are suffering from any of the
numerous complaints they cure-suffer no
more-thc remedy has been provided for you,
and it is criminal to neglect it.
That Ayers Cherry Pectoral, is the best
medicine for a Cough, is known to the whole
world, and that Ayers Pills are the best OF
Pills, is known to those who have used them.

The statistical tables of mortality show re-
dnction in this country OF the proportion of
deaths from pulmonary diseases Doct Aver
attributes this result to the effect of his Cherry
PectOral. He also asserts that the cures from
his Cathartic Pills give reason to believe they
will, as they come into general use, materially
reduce the mortality from those particular dis
eases for which they are designed. From what
we know of his preparations, we think he has
grounds for his claims, and if he has, it is an
attainment of which an Emperor might be
proud. Rarely is it permitted any one man to
know that his skill is bestowing health and
life to the masses of his fellow men.
Such reflection is worth working for even
though he had the reflection for his reward

Our friend Hilderth of the St. Charles In
telligenccr, speaking of Prairie du Chen, i'm
his Editorial Correspondence, labors under Il
great mistake. Hear what he says:
"The word Chen DOG and the place takes it,
from the fact that in early times the prairie dogs
used to burr"w here Even at the present time their
little mounds are to be seen in various Places
All wrong; the Prairie took its name from
an Indian Chief, in early days. whose nomen-
clature was Chen, his Indian title hence the
term "Chien,' or "Ihc Prairie of Chen
which in the French means Dog, took it's
name We do not like the name, but still
its right derivation should be observed. The
gentleman undoubtedly saw dogs enough
here but where he would find I" their little
mounds goes beyond anything we have yet
seen on the Prairie.--Prairie du Chen Courier.
1t sometimes happens that a stranger will
give people new facts in reference to the histo-
ry of their particular locality which at first
seem unworthy of credence. This was the
case when Kossuth visited America. 1t may
be true in the present instance. Our friend
Merrill should take walk about town occa-
sionally exercise of that kind will be good for
him and within two miles of his own sanctum
we assure him he may find plenty of those
Httle MOUNDS, oiiCe inc hoNlcs vi Pidiic
dogs. As to the other part of his criticism, we
have this explanation to make Before human
being trod the plateau where now stands the
lovely town of Prairie du Cchien, the little
prairie dogs burrowed there. Next the Indian
chief, Chen, had his lodge there, and after
that Frenchman, named lie Chen, took
up his abode there. Now it matters but little
to whom you attribute the origin Of the name of
the town. We give it to the dog he having
a priority of right in the soil. The coincidence,
we admit, is somewhat singular one, but we
this great historical question until our contcm-
rary looks up those little mounds" and is
willing to do honor to IA Frenchman as well
rs an Indian.
