Bigamist.

The Cincinnati Commercial gives the
details OF a cas- OF bigamy which has
somewhat excited the city. John II.
Burns has for fourteen months been n
resident Of Cincinnati, having como from
Ireland or Scotland. He has been in
the employ of Mr.. Peter Gibson, whose
niece Burns married a few months since.
A few evenings since, after Burns had
left the store, a good-looking woman
with six children called and %enquired
for him, and astounded Mr.. Gibson with
the information that they we're the wife
and children CT Burns. On hearing Of
the faithlessness of Burns, the wife and
mother tainted away, and has since been
in a state bordering on distraction. The
second wife Of Burns-Mr. Gibson's
niece-is now absent. The first wife
heard accidentally of the where abouts
Of Burns, and having two wealthy broth
erS in Baltimore was enabled TO follow
him up.

LYNDE LORD, of Ellsworth, Ohio, aged 10
years. Mr.. Lord was . native of New london,

The Book SWindle.

For many years appropriations for
books have each session been voted to
new members of Congress; by which dis
graceful system the U. S. Treasury has
been annually swindled to the handsome
tune Of n half million. While 81 900
worth of books were voted TO some new
members, they would each take, on an
average, S10U worth, and have the Clerk
dispose of the rest to Washington book
sellers, who have become wealthy by
this political coup d'e-tat. Thus after
the Clerk had received so much discount
and the book-merchant his share in the
profits of barter, her the NJ. C. would
take the balance in cash, which he pre-
fered to books. The Senate in the last
session of Congress refused 10 sanction
this legislative ~chicanery, but neal the
close of the session a compromise was
pushed through with the proviso, that
only Sl89. 600 should be the ~appropria-
ton for books to N. C's., also that these
books should be deposited in the public
libraries and Institutions of the respec-
tive districts. Mr.. Comptroller White,
sey refused to honor the draft of the
Clerk for the S18e 600 until valid proof
was furnished that the said bookswere &C.
tually deposited according to the late bill.
The Clerk did not produce the required
proof. and the draft still lies unhonored.
Applications for payment have recently
been made 10 Secretary Cobb. who has
wisely adopted as his curse in the matter
the statesmen like policy and precedent
of the Hon. Elisha Whittlesey.

Litchfeld County, Connecticut


The following is an extract from an
address by the Hon. Samuel Church, at
the centennial celebration Of Litchfeld
County.
"And hen followed the sale and &C.
cupation of the Connecticut Western
Reserve; many of its original proprietors
were our citizens, and among them
Messrs. Boardman, Holmes, Tallmadge,
Wadsworth, Norton, Garfield, Johnston,
and Church. For a time it seemed as
if depopulation was TO follow. The
towns of Johnston, Garfield, Salem,
Boardman, Hudson and several others
on the Reserve were svon filling up with
the best blood and spirit of our County;
and since then We have been increasing
the population of other parts of the great
States of New York and Ohio, as well
as the Western States, so that now there
is no one among US who remain, who
has not a parent, q brother or q child in
Ohio and other States of the Vest
And ne believe hat these children OF
our raising have transmitted the impress
and image of LitchfelJ County TO the
general condition Of society where they
have gone, and chat they have fixed
there a moral likeness which proves its
parentsge."

Saturday evening of this week, is the
time appointed for the holding of Pri-
mary Meetings in the various townships
in this County and State. We trust no
Republican will consider them of such
minor importance, as to neglect 10 attend
them. 1t is at these meetings that the
~imtiatory steps are taken, which result
in placing men in places of honor and
trust.
We have often heard the complaint
that Nominating Conventions were con-
trolled by a few Office seekers, or by a
"Court House Clique" in the principal
county town. That such has been the
case, We have no doubt; but the remedy
and the power lie with the people at
large.
Almost every man has his preferences
in regard to officers to be elected, aad
should not his f%avorite receive the nomi-
nation at the County Convention, some
may ascribe his defeat TO %chicanery, and
the packing" of the Convention. Let
all such be at the township meeting on
Saturday evening next; for there each
individual voice is heard, with far more
effect than when the entire voice of a
township is delegated to q few indiviia-
ais.
We have not, as yet, heard of any eff
forts being made TO ''pack'' the Con-
.yention 10 be holden in this County, on
Aenday next, and hope there will be
none. But in a county Ike ours, where
a nomination is but the forerunner of an
election, it is but natural to suppose Ihar
individuals would use all honorabl,
means TO secure their nomination.
Men Of integrity and copa6aty. as III,
first qualifications. should be chosen, 70
ihe various Offices; and then such mel
as will most fully represent the majorilt
of the people, and in order that eacl
man may bear a part in the Collection c
such, he must be at the Primary meet
ing. and use his influence in the selection
of delegates.
We know it is a busy season of tn
year, and many may not feel like attend
ing, after the hard labors of the day =
To such we would say. lay aside you
work a little earlier, and consider tha
there may be many others who feed a
you do. and if all such stay away, yo'
cannot expect the delegates from you
tow nsbip to represent a majority Of lou
voters.

Names Of Candidates.

We give below, a letter from Mr.. Jo-
Siah Robbins, which explains itself. We
have ~refrained from publishing the names
of any Of the candidates for nomination
at the County Convention, for the fol-
lowing reasons; First, because a large
majority of them have requested US no,
to publish any; second, because it hav-
inc been generally understood that no
names would be published, We do not
know who are, and who are not candi.
date>; third. because We have not the
names OF all, wishing them to stand on
equal terms, would not leave out the
names of any; and last but not least,
there are 50 many that if they were all
published, the public might think there
were more candidates than voters.
So far as We Individually, are con
cerned, certainly u ~pecuniary interest
would be promoted by publishing the
names; but it seemed to be a very gen.
eral wish tLat it should not be done, and
a general opinion that it would not be a
wise course to pursue.
NILES, August 81, 1857.
MeSSrs. EatOrS:-Enclosed you will
find one dollar as compensation for in
seriing the name of J. G. Butler, as a

Convention of said County. The
citizens of this Town, are dissatisfied
with the course pursued in not publish
ing names of candidates coming before
said Convention, as it has been the for
mer usage. Respectfully,
JOSIAH ROBBINS.
For The reasons We gave above, We
intended to publish no names, but as our
Mr.. Robbins insists that Mr.. But

and of course give also those of the 9TH
ers, named in connection with the Office

4 Singular Case of Ilsamty-A Beauti
full Girl gone Mad for Love.

A beautiful German girl named Han
nah RoOlker, was taken TO the CONNER
cial Hospital, yesterday morning, a raw.
ing maniac; h-r reason completely over
thrown by Disappointment in love. l
seems that she had been engaged to one
of her countrymen for some months, bnd
had July expected TO become his wife,
when her father informed her last Sat-
u!day thai she should not marry.
Upon the announcement she fell, as il
struck by Ii htuing. to the floor, and it
was with much difficulty that she was
restored TO consciousness. She then be.
gan raving frightfully; and with cries
and screams and groans and tears and
lamentations, startled the entire neigh.
borhood of Bremen street, where she re-
sided. Nothing could be done TO calm
or appease Eer-she grew worse and
worse, until it was determined to remoye
her to the Hospital when she died, a few
hours after.-CiR. Gazette.

Oreide, The New Substitute For Gold.

The manufacture Of this new metal,
oreide, under the French patent Of IL.
Migeon, granted in this country March
5, 1857, has been commenced on 4 large
scale in Waterbury, Conn, AMI 1t will
undoubtedly soOn be in use, a. it is al
ready 10 France, for various articles OF
domestic economy and all sorts of orna-
mentItion, as it bears relation to gold
similar to that of German silver to pure
silver; like German silver, it may be used
in a pure condition, or as a base Of gold
plating. Ii bearS so strong a resemblance
to gold that when manufactured into fine
articles, such as we have become accuS-
toned to see made of gold, We are at
once convinced that the article we are
handling is really the pure metal, y ct Ii
is made of a. material that cost only
eighty cents a pound as it comes from
the furnace where the several metals OF
its composition have been refined into
ingots. The oreide is not a new metal
It'll only. a new compound Of old met
ais, so refined in the process as 10 have
uOuS away nhh SiCot pm
disposition II oxidise, as it only furnishes
in about the same degree as silver, and
though ebulition takes place, if tested
with nitric acid, il does not leave a black
spot, so that it may be actually cleaned
with acids which would destroy such
metals as copper or brass. We have ex-
amined the metal in OARS and sheets,
prepared for the manufacture Of various
articles, and also in lis manufactured
state in spoons, sugar-tongs, napkin,
rings, goblets, buttons, watch chains,
various articles of plain and chased
i~ewelry and cast ornaments, and plates
of various thickness from tin foil 10 the
sixteenth OF an inch thick, combined
with gold, SO as 10 show gold upon ole
side and the oreide upon the other, and
it was certainly very difficult TO tell
! which was gold and which was creile.
That it is an improvement 10 the arts
there can be no doubt; and that it So
much resembles gold as TO make it nee
essary for our Legislatures al once to re-
quire, as in France, That all articles
should be stamped "oreide'' 10 prevent
great frauds, will probably be found out
after a graat many people have been
pretty severely chealed.-Y. 7. Iri6

gates are to be appointed to attend it; il
was therefore thought best to have but

Eric Conference on Slavery.


At the session OF the Erie Annua
Conference of the Methodist Episcopa
Church, for 1851, which was held a
Ravenna, last month, the following Re.
pert on Slavery by the committee, Il
whom the subject had been referred, wa:
unanimously adopted.
Your committee, TO whom the subject
of Slavery was referred, respectfully
submit he following report:
AS Christian Philanthropists and Minis
tiers of the Lord Jesus Christ, who
Himself proclaimed liberty 10 the cap
tive, and the opening of the prison to
them that were bound, we maintain
with inlexible frmness, and mistaken
confidence in God, the same high,
honorable and uncompromising oppo-
sition to American Slavery that has
| hitherto characterized the EIie Annual
Conference;
AND, WHEREAS. The history oil oar couu-
try during the past year, has both in
her civil, judicial and ecclesiastical
movements, sufficiently demonstra-
ted the aggressive spirit of Slavery
and the untiring vigilance of It's prop
agandisis, we unhesi;atingly declare
that this is no time to relax our efforts
TO counteract the influence Of this un-
mitigated evil, but would rather rec
ommend such prudent advancement
IL. ,,,.fanaas of tltn RnSn NAV
from time to time require. We would
therefore recommend the adoption
of the following resolutions:
ResoLUed. Ist, That while We do not
admit that Interpretation OF the ''general
rule'' which makes it tolerate slayehold-
ing in the membership, We viii never
theless use all prudent efforts to have lis
language so modified, that it shall en-
body the real anti-slavery doctrine of
u Church on the subject Of slavehoId-
ing, in language as free as possible from
all ambiguity.
ResoEUed, end, That We highly approve
the action Of the last General Conference
touching the publication of Mr.. Wesley's
Thoughts on Slavery" in connection
with other anti-slayery Ii eratlre, and
that we will use our utmost e~ndeayorSto
circulate the same.
Resolped, 3rd, That W e expect of all
our periodicals that they maintain a well
defined aggressive position in the anti
slavery ranks, and that our efforts TO Sc
cure their circulation within the bounds
of our work will be likely TO correspond
with their true anti-slayery character.
ResolUed, 4th, That while we highly
disapprove of Ministers of the Gospel be-
coming p~arlisans, and would regard it
beneath the dignity Of such to enter the
arena OF political strife, we will resist all
efforts to exclude the subject OF political
morality from the censorship OF the
Christian pulpit.
That holding, as We do, that our op-
position to Slavery, lutemperance, Sab
bath breaking, and Polygamy, is based
upon higher grounds than legislative
action, We cannot but regard the person
would succumb to the diclatorial
spirit Of the slave power, as a traitor to
interest of the Church, ~socisty,
aud the souls Of men.

Another Hob in KeItucky-A Minister
Dragged out of the Pulpit While
Preaching.
CUMMINs, ROckcastle Co., Ky..l

SOAMlNSJ IeOChcdStIe Co., hEpl
July 90.
Last Sunday, as Rev. John G. Free
was preaching at this place, an armed
mob forced their way into the Church,
seized him and two other Ministers who
were with him, Rev. ]. Richardson, and
Rev. j. NJ. Mclean, and after abusing
and insulting them, finally decided that
they should be taken out of the county.
Mr.. Free was struck on the head, and
considerably injured. On the way out
"a distance OF about ten miles-every
opportunity was improved by the mob TO
insult and abuse their victims, and they
hera'ded through the n~eighborhood they
passed, that they had three horse
thieves and niger thieves, that they
were going to lynch.
The mob a composed of the lowest
class Of kentuckians, and all of them
drunk; yet such is the state of public
opinion that it would be useless TO prose
cute.
This has long been an anti slavery
place, but the immediate cause of the
outrage, was the attempt TO establish a
school there. Schools are regarded as
most dangerous and iucendiary institu-
tons in this part of Kentucky. J. NJ.
