Charge Of Rape.-A report was in circula-
ton yesterday to the effect that woman resid
ing in East Wheeling had sworn out warrant
for the arrest of a man named Godfrey Muller,
whom she charges with having committed
rape upon her little daughter, only eight years
of age. The outrage is alleged to have been
committed some ten days since, shortly after
which Muller is supposed to have left the city,
but returning again was seen by the mother of
the child and information was made before Aid
Duty, as stated. Muller is still at large.

".SamiVs1 BeVare"-We learn that at the
late term of the Court Of Common Pleas over
the river, in Belmont county, eight divorce ca
ses we're tried before Judge O'Key. In every
single case the complainant was the wife and in
every case the divorce was granted and alimony
allowed-some as high as one thousand dollars.
This indicates most lamentable state of matri%
monial affairs. In one other case the defendant
was compelled to support the child. Old Wei
Ter is always opportune.

Our Business Gotices. THE Times takes up
on itself the unwarrantable responsibility of
falsely asserting that the business houses which
have been recently noticed in the IntoIligsacer,
pay us for so doing, endeavoring thereby
to detract from the consequence or results of
the said articles. The prominent business firms
which have been alluded to, will doubtless ap-.5
preciate this thrust at their character and bust
ness standing.

For the True Democrat. TO DIR. SAMUEL OLDHAM. Fortunate Spner

Happy old Man, the evening of whose life, Is sslent in studions ease remote from strife. Whose fields supply all that thy wants require; And more than needs to satisfy desire Tho ample wealth indulgence might afford Pieasd with a temp'rute glass, and frugal board; Nor downy pillows can prolong thy rest Till the gray dawn impcnra tn expecting east. No canker'd sloath, liscss thoughts colstrain. The precious hours. 10 tEce. that vet remain First prayer and praise employ thy souls best care Thoughts x'd on heagn and hopes all cen ntre.ithere Next what of mercy Charity demands Or bland Benevolenee claims at thy hands; Business and Pleasure then, to these succeed, And each affords it's own allotted nccd hiIe heaps Of lore, by letter. Il sagcs writ, Add strength to thought, and give m edge to wit Thy tre-ede loys utmingied bliss bcstow- The zeal of duty. and aticction's glow. Thy consort treads with thee tho low'ry road. That safe conlutts thee to thy last abode; With anxious provides for thee the best: And sinootls thy pillow fer thy ey'ninc rest Thy sons no strife, nor bickelnss divide. But hand in hand they stem iies cry stul tide; And mutual strive each in his sevra wavs To heap thy pleasures, and Irolong thy days. Their httic prattlers throng about thy knee, In all the innocence of childish gl,c lnquiring when St. Nicholas will come. To brng them toys, and cake and sugar plum Tho seprate oft, yet ott tl, children meet To join the circle ii thy calm retreat; And once year. the Yulc- feast to surround, hey, and thy chosen friends, at Eylan found " iih soe'ai converse, aud with tcinprate mlrth, farIake an antepast of Ue;v'n on earth.

AN OLD FUGITIVE SLAVE LAw.-Willliam Penn, of famous memory in history and among the Quakers, the model Governor of Pennsvl. vania, and the man of peace, while Governor addressed the following letter to the Susque- hanna Indians. It was found at the land office at Harrisburg, by Christopher L. Ward, esq, to whom Hon. E. Lewis was indebted for it,
 William Penn to the Susquehanna Lulians:
 My Coop FRIENDs-The reorle of New York having again wrote earnestly to me about those prisoners taken by you, especially ye wo- man and ye boy, saying that they bought them talrly Of the governor of Carolina, who sold them for slaves. And they being very good friends and neighbors, and all under the same King, must, therefore, desire you to deliver the the said woman and boy to the bearer here- oi, Sylvester, who will safely carry them to Newcastle, and there put on board of a vessel bound directly for New York; and by SO doing you will greatly oblise your very good frisad "ss ofosAsr, Wk.

 A BLOCKING CiRcUMsTANCE.-The Colum- bus correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette gives publicity to a shocking event which re- gently took place in the Ohio State Prison. il, the following words
 There is current here shocking story of an outrage committed in the Peniten,iarv. One of, the convicts, 1t seems was afflicted with weakness or soreness of the eyes, and after being urgently importuned, allowed physi- ciah or the institution to operate on one of them. Blindness of the organ ensued; and when, some tune ago, the physician desired to cAfSrmen, upon the remaining eye, the con- wet refused to rvria!. him, believing that he would destroy that also. T.ercu pon the phv- slclah ordered his refractory patent to be h,!A and against his will performed an operation on oo'n eyes: The result isthat both eyes are now o'iiv; aud the convict whose term of mpri- sonment expired about three months ayo ia s'iii lh the Pententiary, without friends or money, and deprived of sight forever Inopi. ry into this atrocious affair is to he mad. i'm med'ate'y, and justice done alike to the nhv. siclan and the patient noers have already taken the matter in naha and It will probably come before ina AeSislature early in the week. The nnfortu- hate Victlm oi ths instance of professional and ohciai violence had been sentenced to ana years Imprisonment for mansaughter. under circumstances somewhat peculiar. He had protected poor emigrant girl on steamboat from the insults of some wretch, and was fol- lowed to his room by the baffled villain. who threatened his life, menacng him with a drawn knife, till he, in selt-defence, struck the man upon the head with bar of iron, and killed him. He was arrested on the charge of man. slaughter, and through the stupidity of his at- torney, induced to plead guilty, and was ac- cordingly sentenced to the shortest term of imprisonment for that offence known to the law

Cairo and Fulton RaiirOaL

We clip the following from the Hempstead Democrat of the 27th ultimo:
 CHEERlNG.-We learn from the True Demo. erat of the 2Oth inst, that a railroad meetino was held in Little Rock on the evening of the l4th, and that, Judge Bevens addressed the meeting on the subject of the Cairo and Fulton railroad, in speech characterized bv good sense and patriotism, and demonstrated not only tho great utility, but the entire practcabilitv of the road through means accorded by Congress:v and that |" afterwards Judge Cross, the president of the company. Was called upon, and responded in few remarks, in which he Congratulated the country upon the bright prospects of the enter prise, and stated the grounds upon which he considered its success absolutely certain About ten thousand dollars of stock was taken upon the spur of the occasion."
 If the Cairo and Fulton railroad is built. with the speed of steam car, will our State move onward upon the road of progress and develop. ment. There is no telling the incalculable amount of good the road will accomplish. Let the people arise in their might and declare that 1t shall be built immediately, and let them act accordingly, and then with the successful con- pletion of the road; there can be no such word as fm. The road, the road, let us have the road-by all means-let us have the roadl with 1t, we can vie proudly with any of our sister States, without 1t, our State must continue in ba an underling, humiliated under an unpleasant consciousness of its own inferiority. The road then!"
