L TUESDAY, SEPT. 6th, to continue eleven
weeks.
The reputation which the School has enjoyed
the past year, for thoroughness In instruction,
strict but wholesome discipline, will be fully sus-
tanned the ensuing year, the services of Mr.. BAR
NARD, who has had the management of the
School the past year, being re>engaged.
The retired location of the School, in the midst
OF community distinguished for its intelligence,
stability and Christian worth, renders it pecu-
Harry deserving of the interest and patronage of
those who have children that they must send
away from the influences of home for the purpose
of culture.
1t is regarded of the first Importance that those
wishing to enjoy the advantages of the School.
should be present at the opening. and continue
without Intermlssiop to the close of the term as

On the morning of the goth of June, the

several persons in the street, delirious, ana

child being dead and buried, and said she
was going to find it.. ,.,.- o..... ....
From this and other circumstances, there
is strong reason to suspect that the new

On The evening preceding her death, wher

Lola MOntcz Again.

The Rochester Union is responsible for

Of the notorious Lola Montez:
"The renowned Lola Montez is nov spend
ing few days at Niagara Falls. She
has appeared at the Buffalo Theatre as sort
Of interlude to her season of pleasure. On
Friday morning Lola took the train for Buf-
fao, and without advice from any source, she
seated herself in the baggage car to quietly
puff her cigarette. While thus costly throw
ing off from her lips the curling smoke, she
was discovered by the conductor and inform.
ed that passengers were not permitted to ride
in the baggage car'. She paid no attention
to the iHtimation, but continued to smoke, as
il no one had addressed her. Asst. Supf.
CofaE,ar was at the station, and was infcfta.
ed what Lola was doing. He said she must
do as other passengers did, and that she 'couk'
net 'be-hermitted to ride in the baggage car.
Tie conductorDcalled upon her and politely
| informed her that she r1hst take seat in
the cars designed for passengers. Lola drew
herself up into an attitude Of defiRce, and
| told tho conductor that she had travelled all
oyerthe world and lad always rode. Nv here
she; mad miad to, and proposed to do the
same in this case. Il
The conductor further expostulated with
her, and assured her that he was but execu.
ting the orders of the Superintendent and tht
rules of The company. Lola replied that she
had horse aOhippsd bigger men than he. Thi'
settled the matter. The conduc tor withdrew
and Lola was not again disturbed. She rode
to Buffalo in the baggage car, and had nc
occasion to use the whip. The railroad mel
did not care to disturb the t:gress."

incessant thunder and lightning. The lady
had the child in her arms, and, stood for all
instant within few feet of young peach

the tree and the mother and child both re-
ceived a. violent shock, so violent. indeed,
that the mother was found lying senseess
upon the ground and the child in u like con.
dition a few feet from her: BY applying
cold water profusely they were both fortu,

Everywhere Alike.

The State officers and members of the
the Legislature, elected two years ago in
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania,
and Ohio, by the Abolition Know Nothings,
proved the most worthless and corrupt ever
elevated 10 The sahe places in these States
before. The reason now is obvious enough,
and it was point ed out at the time by the
Democratic press. A., set of unscruoulous
men got hold of the Know Nothing wires
and worked them to their own advantage, and
by playing the consumats defhagogues before
the people, obtairlP Pd the places they go shame
fully dishonored. A party that got up fu.
neral pageant over the death of the rowdy,
Bill Poole that eclpsed the one got ten up

to elevate the best men to Office. Figs dc

In the Convention, last Saturday, ore Of
the Speakers stated in substance, that the
county o-gcn--reaning the S,n:inel--wou!d
not permit friends Of Payne, to be heard in
favor of his nomination for Governor, thereby
intimatng that we desired to suppress free.
dom of expression in regard 10 candidates. -
This is an error. We have never in any in.
stance suppressed the expression of prefer
ence made by any man in behalf Of any candi.
date. We vereceived but one letter even
intimating preference for Mr.. Fuyne, ani
the only sentence in the letter having pos.
sible alusion 10 Mr.. Payne, was this: "The
name of Mr.. Payne, of Cleveland, did at
first and still does " ith me hold the prefer
ence." The balance of the letter relates
to other and different matters. We did not
publish the letter, because for good reasons
we thought it unnecessary, but we did pub.
lish the fact that letter had been written us
expressing preference for Mr.. Payne, and
we said far more in his favor, than was said
by our correspondent. In the Sentinel o!
July 10th, we used the following language:
The GoyEREoRsHIp.- N. EeGLEs
TON, of Aurora, has written us q letter ad
vocutin1 the nomination of HEyRY B. PAYNE
for Governor. Mr.. Payne, if nominated
will, ao doubt, prove to be noble STANDARD
bearer, and will draw to to his support, host:
of warm supporters ffcm every portion o
the Buckeye State.
This, it will be seen, is far more compre
hensive and emphatic in Mr.. PAyne's prais,
than the Letter we received. .....
Again, in the Sentinel of May 81, in speak
ing of Mr.. Payne, we wrote and published tn,
following paragraph: .-.
"Henry B. Payne is gentleman, schol
ar, on orator and a sound national Democrat
If nominated for Governor, the choice wi!
be highly acceptable to the party"
Does this look like attempting to suppress
an expression Of sentiment in favor of Nj
PAYNE? We think not.

Democrats Read.

We commend the following from the Ohio
StG.s Democrat, to the attention ofthe democ.
racy of the State. 1t contains Wholesome
advice-and IL acted up to, there Is nothing
more wanted to insure triumph. IL ii be
unheeded, and weak men, or those who will
be a drag to the party, instead of bringing
strength to it, are placed on the ticket, State
or county, the Democracy will have them
selves to blame for defeat. 1t is no time
now to press forward personal ambition
The stake is a deep one, and it behooves ev-
cry patriotic Democrat to forget himself and
his own aspirations in the general cause.
We hop Ourfriends throughout the countrs

influential and most popular men. Read the
article from the State D'mocra! and ponder
it:
Our PRosPEcTs From all that we can
see and learn, the prospects Of the National
Democracy were never more fattering than
at this present time. All are aware that the
Abolition majority against US last fall was
large, but was greatly reduced from the
year previous, that il can be overcome by the
united efforts Of the Democratic party, there
is but little doubt. The nominations in the
several counties, will have much TO do with
our success in the State. A weak county
ticket necessarily weakens the State ticket
hence the great Importance of putting in
nomination none but staunch, tried and true
men who in every EMERGENCY have stood up
boldly for the principles Of right and Justice.
We wlnt no weakened Democrats who
have suffered themselves to be borne down by
the tide Of fanaticism, but men who in evil,
as we'll as good report, have maintained their
fealty to the party, and firmly battled in its
defense. Give US q good State and county
ticket or real LIVE Democrats who have
never bowed the knee to any Of the ephen-
eral decisions of the day, and Champaign

though it is we'll known she has always been
anti Democratic. The day of panderiOg is
past--"Sam" and "Sombo" have, fallen,
Tocked in each Others embrace, while doing
service for their sectional and proscriptive

have stood firm in the hour of need, and who
would, in any position, reflect credit upon
their party. and honor upon themselves
These are the men to support and none 9th.
