WOur Office was the locality Of an
amusing incident one day last week, oc-
cssioned by the rushing in of country
gentleman, in tragedian style, nearly ex-
hausted and out of breath. The only an
swer to the inquiring look We gave him,
was his outstretched arm and finger,
pointing to some object in the street
These actions suggested there might be
an "item" at stake, and we stepped to the
window. Seeing nothing remarkable but
the rather than usual pleasant smile
of the small groops of our citizens, To-
Gated at different points on the street, we
attempted to leave, when our hero ventured
his muscular strength to hold our atten-
ton. Of course, we did not contend
with bis bear-like grasp, but plead fall
ure of seeing an object sufficiently in
teresting to detain US. He then became
wrought up to "boiling cover" pitch, and
fearing that the object would pass out of
view before we distinguished it, he "let
out" the following, painting like a loco
AHNS''" CSS"SOh C'Oi JAIabiO' DOH
-you-see-thot-w wo-- man? That thar
one?" thrusting his hand violently against
tho window, just as the diminutive object
disappeared. He then became cool and
composed, and accepted profered seat.
After sufficiently recovering, lie told his
errand. He happened to be doing some
business 'in an establishment where lie
came across this object of interest, which
was none other than Miss -, about thir-
teen years of age, weighing seventy three
pounds. he SAID, who was recently mar
Tied to a young gentleman not out of his
teens. The object of his visit was to
have the circumstance published, that the
country people might know what WAS 60
ing on in the metropolis of Meigs County.
We confessed desire to keep our country
friends posted, but thought this was a pri-
,yate matter, and one with which we had
no business. He would not listen to
such logic, and said he would be RESPONSE
bic, and, III addition, furnish a handsome
list of subscribers from his section if We
would publish it. This was really tempt.
ing. but va could not be bought and made
bin an cvasive affirmative answer as the
only means Of getting rid Of him.

Murder in Virginia.

An affair of horrid character occurred,
a short time since, at lock No. q, on Coal
river, in Kanawha County, Va. 1t seems
that Mr.. p. s. Turley, formerly Baptist
preacher, had for some time been selling
liquor, keeping dissolute and abandoned
women at his house. &c. His wife was
missed on Thursday morning, currency
was given to u report that she had
drowned herself, and believed by many
as ii WAS generally known that they did
not live happily together. Her husband
told such a plausible story that few per-
SONG entertained the belief that he had
been the cause Of her death, supp osing
she had drowned herself. The neigh bors
dragged the river 6elStO the house where
they lived, her husband assisting, and he
even offered reward of fifty dollars to
any one finding the body. From circum-
st nccs that developed themselves, the
community became more and more ex-
cited, until they came AS far as 20 to 50
miles to engage in recovering the body,
About noon on the Monday following, they
determined to search Up the river. AS
soon as this was known, Turley left and
went to his father 's-about mile from
the river. About midnight they found
the body, to which was attached by a
rope, large stone weighing sixty min e
pounds. rurley was immediately arrested
in bed at his fathers house. An inquest
was held before two Magistrates with no
physician in attendance Wounds were
found on her person, and in consequence
Turley was committed to iSil Next day
Il second inquest was held, with phys-
clan in attendance, who thought her neck
was broken, but gave no opinion of other
wounds found on the body. The prisoner
contends that she hung herself, and he
threw her in the river, fearing the neigh
bors would charge him with hanging her
himself. Mrs. Il. was of an excellent fam
lily by the name Of West, in Putnam Co.,
and was much esteemed by all her ac-
quaintances.

The following are the proceedings OF

refusing to divulge, as he alleges, private
and irrelevant transactions in the firm OF
Lawrence, Stone & Co., charged with
Lribing members of the last Congress,
by paying large sums of money to obtain
change in the Tariff Act. 1t was at
first rumored that Mr.. Banks was con-
nected with it, but later developments
have proven him innocent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.
Mr.. Williamson submitted an answer in
writing and under oath, saying that the
reason why he did not obey the summons
was, that he was under the custody of
Of the Sheriff of New York, and could not
leave without his consent. and was so ad-
vised by his counsel. 1t has always been
his opinion, and still is, that neither House
of Congress has any legal right or author

Douglas and the Next presidency
A Look Out Of Two Eyes.

Just at this timo, S'nator Douglas occupies
large space in the public mind. Nearly ovcry
man VIC meet can "sec through it all and knows
lust where Douglas will come out. Political wis.
dom IL al p-csnt q universal commodity. We
very much dislike these spcculations, but tho plb.
lic appetite demands It and wo must contribute
our mio 10 the general supply.
From u careful survey Of the field Of rubbish
before us, II is our opinion that good political
managers, in tho democratic pnrty, diner widely
a. to the future prospects Of Mr.. Douglas; aud
these differences are confined simply TO tho pull
ing Of two political wires to which we shall al
ude.
Douglas and his advisors, evidently propose to
raise n club over the democratic party, and die
tsto It's future policy Elatcd with what they are
pleasoj TO call u tremendous triumph in Illinois
they have given out that mass convention will
he held in Chicago for the purpose OF nominating
Douglas for President While Douglas holds this
club In lis hands he will get on his knees before
she Slave Power ask its forgiveness for past of
fences. aud pledge himself 10 every Southern
measure. Knowing that the South frankly con.
fe,s their inability to elect the next President he
homes TO convince them that no can carry suili
cent strength at the North to secure his election
if the South will only unite upon him, With
his threat sand his pledges, he expects to succeed,
and recent signs of" couolintion in various parts
Of the South cncourgc him to continue his efforts
Certainly the South can find no more plant tool.
The other view of his prospects leaves him in
quito different position. lts stated that Ger
tain other Presidential nspirant has several friends
among the recently elected members of the Hi
nois legislature all Of whom arc pledged not iC
vote for Douglas tor the u. s. Senate unless he
will pledge himself to abide by the decision of The
Charleston Convention, II he should fail to Ii,
elected to the Senate, his "olub would not h,
considered dangerous, while submission TO the
decision OF the Charleston Convention wOald 10
certain death, Thus BY dccp-lsid scheme The
Little Giant may be shorn of his strength.
Aztec the excitement passes of and tits rcmem-
bcred thut tho Republicans had II handsome ma.
jorty in Illinois over both the Douglas and Bu-
chanun democracy united, tho great triumph
will dwindle down 10 II thing OF very small mo
mcut, and, in our opinion Douglas will be q dead
cock in the pit, Even If he could carry n Nor
shorn State, rs the regular nominee of his pnrty
(and we don't believe he could do it) no one
could be made TO believe that he could do so n,
al independent candidate running against reg
ulnr nominee It will not he long after tho as
semb,ing of Congress before the fate OF Douglas
will bo better known.

Daring the past ten years the Eve stock Of
Ohio have increased in valuation (per returns
Of the State Auditors ollice) almost 200 per
cent. out is in no instance 100 per cent in
numbers. The causes Of increased valuation
are, firstly, tax law which changed the assess
ment from nominal to an actual cost Of val
u0tion. Secondly an increased demand and
thirdly the encouragement, Of the State Board
to breed better animals.
The Assessors returns show that in 1857
there were $50, $50 horses valued at 930, i09,-
800. Hamilton county contained the greatest
number of any county in the State and Pauld
ing the smallest.
The whole number of cattle was 1855, ,ll5,
valued at 92l COL ,223. Trumbull county con
