A writer in an English magazine,
relates an anecdote OF a tame rat,
which shows that he is capable OF
serving his master, as well as OF pass
ing passive existence under his pro-
lection. The animal belonged to the
driver of a London omnibus, who
caught him as he was removing some
bay. He was spared because he had
the good luck to be piebald, became
remarkably tame, and grew attached
to the chill Iren. At night he exhib-
tied sence Of the enjoyment OF Sc
curity and warmth, by stretching him
self out at full length on the rug TIC
fore the fire, and on cold nights, after
the fire was extinguishei, he would
creep into his masters bed. In the
day time, however, his owner uhlltlz'
ed him. At the word Of command,
Come along, key he would Jump
into his amplelgreatcest pocket, from
which he was transferred to the boot
Of the omnibus. Here his business
was to guard the drivers dinner, and
if any person would attempt to make
free with it, the rat would ny at them

SUITED TO THIS LATITUDE, ExAcrLY.-
The Cleveland Leader says that the follow
ing paper has been numerously signed BY
the democratic Germans of that city:
ave, the undersigned, naturalized citi-
zens of the city of Cleveland, have hereto
fore cheerfully supported the Democratic
ticket, from the fact that we. were innocent
enough to suppose the party was liberal ir
its views and opposed to Know Nothing
ism, but from recent developments, we
are satisfied the party only wishes to use
US merely as 'Hewers of wood and draw
ers of water treating us kindly before cleo
ton and kicking us afterwards. We, there
fore, pledge ourselves to abstain from vot-
ing Mt the coming election, for the follow
ing reasons:
"lst. A majority of the officers under our
Democratic President, are Know Nothings.
"2nd. Several individuals on our State
Ticket belong to the order.
"3rd. A majority of our city officers
elected as Democrats, belong to the order.
ave have heretofore, by our votes
built up the Democratic Party, and in re-
turn for our suffrages, we have received
nothing but contumely and insult. We
do not wish it understood that we leave
the party, but only pledge ourselves to alb
stain from our rights as citizens, until
those rights are properly respected. We
leave them, therefore, in the language Of
Harrison to do their own voting and thsir
own fighting"
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1857-09-10
RepubIicans. Take Heed.

We hope that sthe Republicans of this
county will respond promptly TO the call of
the Central Committee, N to-day's paper.
Let us put in nomination a good county
ticke-a ticket composed of men of long
established regulations for honesty, moral
ity, temperate habits, DC, with we'll known
qualifications to fill creditably the Offices for
which they are nominated. We have ma
ny such men in our eounty-select your
ticket from among them. Though we can
not expect to succeed in .electing it, yet we
can help the State ticket hundreds of votes
by thorough and complete organization.
Without a county ticket, no organization
can be brought about, and, however hope
less the chance of electing Republican
ticket in Holmes county, may seem, 1t IS
not impossi6le-greater seemingly impos-
sibilities have been accomplished. One
defeat did not discourage our friends in
Wayne, Coshocton and Knox counties,
where the majority few years ago, was as
largely against them, as tits now against
the Republican party in Holmes county
and look at the result.
