SUMMARY OF The LATEST FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC lNTgtIcENcg

false 1t is true of Cincinnati, as well as
all other large places, that there ere great
many idlers, counterfeiters and thieves, and
to be upon ones guard is wisdom; but a
moro generous, frank and sociable people
than the native citizens Of Cincinnati, in
eluding also large number Of foreigners,
cannot be found anywhere. The trouble is,
we meet them as business men, in busi-
ness way, and upon business matters-we
are mutually strangers, and time to BUSH

time is used to transact the business, BREW

Mr.. EDrToR:-Since you have NOV

not like the idea Of your publishing

tice US country folks" we will not
complain. Indeed, their greatest fears
seem to be groundless. They were
fearful lest they would not receive tho
AMERICAN regularly. But such is not
the case. Since its removal, it has
only failed to reach us at the regular
time once.
Although there are many things in
Mr.. Goodwin's editorials that don I
like; yet the American is a most well
come visitor at our house. When our
papers arc brought q say our papers,
for / am not q subscriber, but a read
or Of the AMERICANA tho AMERICAN
is invariably read first; and there is
sure to be contention who shall get it
| first.
There has quite a revolution taken
place as regards educational matters
in Bath and Springfield Townships
The people are getting tired Of send
ing their children to theold log hous-
es they have been accustomed to,
which were unfit for hog pens, much
less TO educate their childrenin. They
begin TO value tho health and happi-
ness Of their children, more than their
money. They have determined to O.
rectlarge and commodious school hou-
SEES in which tho health of their chill
dren is consulted by having them
properly warmed and ventilated -
Such being the case, they can and
will get good and efficient teachers.
Two houses were built in Bath
Township last summer, and two more
are going up this summer. Five are
in state of completion and being O.

Johns wort, on the eve OF st. John,

walls of their chambers, with certain
mysterious ceremonies. The state Of

RISING SUN INSURANCE COMPANY.

This Company, through the Agency Of
Mr.. j. ID. Allen, at this place takes marine
risks on terms deemed fair for shippers.
At the very commencement Of her agency
at this place, about the first Of March, the
promptness of the Company to meet losses
was tested BY Mr.. Abel Ray, who insured a
hatboat of produce at $4,000. During a
storm that occurred next day, the boat was
wrecked within thirty miles of the landing
from whence started. All that could be
saved was sold at Newburg, and the pro-
ceeds handed to Mr.. Ray. The nett loss
(ss35) was then adjusted and paid in hall
the time stipulated IT. the policy.
We are happy to say that the Company
and insured have been so lucky that no fur.

PRACTICAL RESULTS OF JUDGE rArxrs
OPINION.


Judge fancy said in his opinion on the
bred Scott case that negroes have no rights
which white men are bound to respect
This decision is producing its results
Every colored man has already been dis
missed from the San Francisco Custsm
House, and negro sailors, clearing from the
Custom Houses receive papers stating that
they are "notires," not "eitizens' Of the
United States, hence in no way entitled to
the protection Of the American flag. So
much for government officers.
In New York, few weeks ago, com
pany OF gentlemen was refused admittance
to house Of i'll fame. Whom retiring from
the house they saw negro man standing
quietly on the other side Of the street.
Knowing that a negro had no rights that
white men were bound TO respect, they shot
the negro without any provocation, and he
died of his wounds, but no effort was made
to arrest the murderers Had the negro
been dog or slave, the murderers would
have had 10 pay for the loss Of property,
but belonging to nobody, and having no
rights OF his own, he was allowed to die
unnoticed
There may be no earthly tribunal that
viii respect the rights of men, made in the
image Of God, and Of one blood with our.
selves, but there is God who viii, and a
God whose attribute Is Justice, and the
nation that impiously says, who Is the
Lord that should obey his voice7 will
find that He is the same now rs in the
days of Pharaoh. We trcmble for our ma
ton when the pent up storm Of Divine
Justice shall be let loose upon US.
