SIGNIFICANT HINTS.

The Magnetic Telegraph. though an IN
valuable blessing. is prostltuted every where
to many base uses. In Europe and in the
United States It has ever been easily per-
vcrtcd to private jobbing. by means Of
WHICH the masses are swiniled in a great
many ways. News is delayed in its
transmission to the organs Of the people
to allow the favored few to work out
their speculations on the faith Vi their pri-
yate and exclusive information. The most
signal instance of this occurred recently
in Europe in the sending Of the Indian news
from Trieste to London. When the over
land mail from Calcutta reaches the former
place it is customary for the British Govern
ment to receive from its agents full telegraphic
dispatches containing the substance Of the in.
telligence. This enables the Government to
act promptly in cases OF emergency by for
warding troops, ships, munitions OF war, or
important dispatches. The news is always
sent at once from the foreign Office to the
various London newspapers, and by them pub,
lished. This did not exactly suit the stock
gamblers who luxuriate at the London Stock
Exchange. So when the last news reach
ed Trieste at l0a O'clock A. NJ, it was
not transmitted to London until IL o'clock
at noon the succeeding day. Meantime
the spectators had received their private
dispatches, and cheated the folks not in
the secret by their purchases Of stocks and
merchandise. But It SO happened that the
news was very urgent in its Importance, and
every day lost to the Government at this juno.
ture is felt in the efforts to suppress the In
dian mutiny. The Ministers have therefore
determined to sift the matter thoroughly and
see where the delinquency lay. What has
been done in this case in Europe has its par
allied in the United States. The telegraph,
in fact, ought to be subjected to the closes
surveillance. or its management must convert
it into great nuisance. Phim. .iaerieaa.

a Touching Lneideni-The Lore ofd Child
The dealt! Of lovely child was mentioned
in our paper few day ago, and we have just
heard Of an incident connected with that
event which touches sll the tender feelings
of the human heart. Among the many desti-
tute children who daily seek their fnnd from
door to door, is a small girl who frequently
went to the house where the little deceased boy
lived. Sometimes she fingered for few
moments, and by degrees became acquainted
with and attached To this lovely child; until
finally she often remained long while. and
shared in its annsemenls. The sequel shows
that during this time an attachment was form.
ed, the strength aud tenderness 81 which was
only known when the little one was cold in
death.
The evening before the funeral the little
beggar girl went 10 the kitchen. The place she
was accustomed to go to. and remained until
after nine u.clnck, hoping, as las since APP
peared, to get glimse u her little friend.
When the procession started for Mt. Hope
-he was ubserted by an uncle II the de.

heart was broken, but no one knew the cause
of her grirl. Arrived at the entrance To the
place Of burial. size was again seen, having

aud brow. and IL painting fpr breath. She

stranger was questioned as To the cause Of
her grief; and theb, for the FIRST time, il was

when she came on her daily errand, had en-.
twined itself around her heart. That little

0T During the past week our river has been
literally covered with large vessels, loading with
lumber, slaves, hoop poles &c. We have not
been able to ascertain the amount shipped but it
must be large. The lumber trade scatters several
thousands of dollars through Wood county du-
ring year, and the trade is rapidly increasing.
Major Wood is daily bringing in large qnanti-
ties oflumber,s sawed by his steam mill, which af-
fords employment for lumber of men and
teams. A little of the go.ahead ativeness is all
that is necessary to enable man to make
money in Wood county. Her soil is rich, hel
praires are broad, and her woods embrace tn.
most valuable timber in great quantities.
