THE CINCINNATI SUICIDE.--The Roch-
ester, n. Y, Union, of the goth inst,
says: eve published yesterday an extract
from letter from Cincinnati, announcing
that young man from this city had COM
mitted suicide at the Burnet House. The
report was that he passed by the name Of
w. S. Stewart, but that his linen was
marked Lewis 1t has been ascertained
that the unfortunate young man was John
II. Lewis, an old resident of this city and
county. We have no further particulars Of
the ahair-indeed the details, save the true
name, were given yesterday. Mr.. Lewis
had been for some time employed ON the
New York and Erie Railroad
THH ARSENIC Story NOT RATIFIE D.
The many rat stories that are atloat through
the press of the country connected with
the sickness which prevailed among those
who had been inmates of the National Ho-
tel at Washington, are without foundation.
The cause of the affiiction was in the de-
fective sewerage, the decayed condition of
the lower part of the premises, and the
accumulation of mephitic vapor in the
vaults, which we understand at one time,
made quite an explosion. The poison
arising from such q source is deadlier than
ratsbane, and the tardy recovery of those
affected leaves little doubt Of the true cause
and settles the question that it was not ar
senic. ...f5s nI-..
ELoPEMENT.- Lynn Reporter says
that on Tuesday last. Mr.. Cornelius Ken
dali, an express driver in that city, eloped
with the wife of Henry Skidmore, a pri-
vate watchman. Kendall left his wife and
family in almost destitute circums tances.
Mrs. Skidmore was young and pretty
She took what money she could find, and
both parties left for parts unknown. The
lorn husband has gone to seek his fair and
faithless wife, and Mrs. Kendall's father
has taken her and her family to his home

John Dean, the Iaish coachmAn who
married the wealthy Miss Boxer in New
York, recently, has at last obtained pos
session of his wife, and the couple have
emigrated to Louisville, Ky. This case
created great excitement for time. AT
first the lady's parents attempted to pur-
chase the girls freedom from her husband,
next they endeavored privately to send her
to Europe, and, as a last resort, undertook
to prove her to be insane. But it seems
that love has at last triumphed over all OBJ
stacles. Her parents now refuse the coup

Section 50 of the School Law, requires
that the State Commissioner of Schools
spend ninety days, annually, in travelling,

When the great amount Of other labor
which the law lays upon this officer is
considered, it is apparent that this requi-
sition is severe and unreasonable. But it
is my intention to perform, to the letter,
this demand. And for the purpose of in
forming any who may take an interest in
the matter, hereby give notice of my in
tention to spend most of the time from
April 9th till July goth in this service.
During that time [ hope to visit the cas-
tern and southern portions of the State,

The members of the Democratic par
ty that went over to the opposition some
two or three years since were promised
Office. Some of them got it. OF late
the rule has been changed. The miser-
able demagogues that sold their princi
pies upon these premises of payment
have met a merited and emphatic rebuke
A certain individual, who had for years
pensioned upon and been fostered by the
Democracy of this county, and who was
ruled out by the equitableprinciple of
rotation, from further charities; ran upon
the mongrel ticket this fall for the nom
ination for clerk. There were also rum
ming for the same Office, an old line whig
and a persistent free. %soiler. What was
the result? The funky and the free
soiler were SO badly beaten that they

as expressed by leading members of their
party upon the street, to rule out the
morgrels, the disappointed demagogues
that went to them begging for office,
place in power the true blue old tory

ment to the base, hypocritical, dishonest
aunkeys that sold what little honor they
once had, and left the Democracy in the
hour of trial, for naught but sordid mo.

left the party because the President

This was brought about by the over
balancing influence of Richland County
and shows the difference in the position

Asthma, Paryngitis and all diseases of the

great point in the treatment of all human NAL

All medicines are estimated by their action up
on the organ requiring ralief. This Is the I'M
portant fact upon Inhalation is based. If the
stomach is disordored, we take incidence di-
rectly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale mediciated vapor dl-
rect..y into the lungs. Medicines are the anti
dotes to disease, and should be applied to the
very seat of diseases. Inhalation is the appli-
cation of this principle to the treatment of the
lungs, for it gives us direct access to those in
tricate air cells and tuces which lie out ofreach
of every other means of administering medI-
cines. The reason that Consumption and 9th
er diseases of the lungs have heretofore resisted
all treatment, has been because they have new
or been approached in q direct manner by med
icine. They were intended to act upon the
lungs, and yet were applied to the stnmach !
Their action was intended to be local, and yet
they were SO administered that they could only
act constitutionally expanding their principal

There was but little of special interest
at the forty forth steet Cattle market to.
day, with a supply left over from last
week and new offerings 2,473 during the
week. Sales commenced yesterday with
2,679 head. This was about $50 less
than were on sale at this place last
Wednesday, but as free purchases were
then made md considerable numbers
have been sold since, the requirements
of the day were not large. There was,
however, this difference betw cen to-day
and last Wednesday it was then well ul-
derstood that large numbers of beeves
were had at different points ready fer
this market when it should be deemed
practicable to bring them in. But to-
day less than 100 head are held at Der
gen, very few if any on New York island,
and some so at Albary, many of which
will be used there or go in other direc
tons, in view this there was an advance
of leo 4c % fb to,day-on some grades
even more thar that. The cattle we're
cleverly cleared up at night, after butch.

ficient for their weekly wants, under the
impression that prices were about to ad-
vance still more.
