4 MISSING MAN-FoUL Play SUSPECTED
Since the 4th of November last, young Eng
lishman, about eighteen years of age, by the
meme of JOHN BRocKLEsLY, but better known
as JOHN BARTON, has been missing. On the
morning of that day, he went from the house of
his employer, SYLVESTER AMEs, living in the
north west part of this township, to his work,
pilling cord wood, upon premises known as the
Alvord lot, distance some two and half or three
miles from the VII age. Since he started for the
wood lot, he has not been seen. He worked
judging from the wood piled, two hours, and it
is strongly suspected that he has been murdered.
Letters have been addressed to his brother-in-
law, Capt. JNo. GRAY, Q. s. Boat Surveyor, at
Detroit, the only relative known, and he has no
knowledge of him whatever. Ali his clothes,
save the suit he had on, remain with AMEs, and
some little money is due him from men for
whom he had worked recently. Considerable
search has been made for him, but no trace
has, as yet, been discovered
A short time before his disappearance, he had
quarrel with man, who, we are told, after
wards threatened him.-RGUenna Dem.

Nor,b west Territory Explorations.

Mr.. Hind and his party, sent out from Cana
da to explore the Red River region ofthe North,
have returned to Toronto. By the Globe we
learn that they have thoroughly explored the
neighborhood of the Assinniboine, and traversed
the south branch of the Saskatchewan some
hundreds of miles. Canoes were used going
one way, and horses the other, so that better
knowledge was obtained of the country than
the fur-traders get, as they travel entirely by
water The bank of the river Mr.. Hind de-
scribes as sandy plain, but five miles back the
land is even richer than on the Red River
The climate is much milder and the vegetation
most Iuxuriant. From the accounts of the
hunters, it would appear, however, that the
slope of land at the eastern base of the Rocky
Mountains is the finest part of the territory
The snow is said never to be deep there, snow
shoes being unknown to the Indians, and 1t IS
well timbered country This is the locality
also, in which coal beds exist. Mr.. Hind did
not penetrate so far, but he had undoubted proof
of their existence. At Fort Edmonton, and
other western posts of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany, they use coal for their forges. No good
coal was found on the AssinnibOine. Timber
was found for building, fuel, &c, during the
first settlement of the country.
Mr.. Hind found that an affiuent of the Assin-
niboine approaches very near the saskatehe-
wan. Connecting the two streams at this point
would be very great saving in the way OF
transportation. At the highest point at which
Mr. Hind saw the Saskatchewan, it was halt
mile broad and seven feet deep. Lord Grosve-
nor did not return with Lord Cavendish and Mr..
Hind. A few days before the party left Red
River he took fancy to go on Buffalo hunt
and started off on horseback, with half breed
guide, on journey of several hundred miles,
although the thermometer was below zero

great country they have got in the wild North

rhe Case of Deputy Marshal Tyler.

We learn by the Detroit Tribune that for
NAL requisition has been made on the President
by the Canadian authorities for the person of
Deputy Marshal Tyler who shot Capt. Jones of
the brig Concord while the vessel was in Ca
madam jurisdiction, and states that the general
impression at Detroit is that the application
will not be granted. The application was
made by Governor General Head through the
British Minister at Washington. The Pres
ident immediately sent to .. S. District Attor-
ney Miller for evidence concerning the homi-
eide, who transmitted copies of the testimony
taken at the examination at Detroit, and there
the examination rests.
1t is claimed by Tyler's counsel and others,
that the offence with which he is charged was
committed within the jurisdiction of the United
States Courts. For the present Tyler remains
under the United States commitment, although
the Sheriff of St. Clair county, Michigan, has
left a warrant at the jail for Tyler charging him
with murder and claiming him for trial before
the Circuit Court Of that County. He acted
under the!advice of the Attorney General of the
State as to the legality of such claim and pro-

"KNow THYsELF" is a maxim which has
immortalized an ancient sage, and the people of
Brecksville, notwithstanding the inclement
weather, to avail themselves of so rare an op-
portunity, rushed to Prof. Gatchell's Lectures
to secure his aid in this all important study
At the conclusion of his Lectures, the Rev. D.
Stratton offered the following capitally express
ed resolution, which was seconded by Dr. Ed
ward Breck, and carried by large and intelli-
gent audience, when all dispersed only regret
ting that the Lectures were not to continue an
other week.
WHEREAS, Prof II. P Gatchell has this eve
ming closed course of Lectures on Man, to
which we have listened with an interest contin-
ually increasing, we, citizens of Breeksville-
his new made friends, feel it privilege ere he
departs to express our feelings in thefollowing
resolution:
Resolved, That in Prof GatchelI we reeog-
nize Lecturer-able because of his thorough
knowledge of Man-lueid because of his apt
explanations, assisted by his splendid illustra-
tions-deeply iatereStin7 because in all there is
deep love for his subject That in listening to
his Lectures now closed, wehaye been interest
ed and instructed, and that Prof Gatchell and
DR.. Burnham in leaving Brecksville take with
them our best wishes, and leave US wiser, bet
ter,and happier than when they came among u.s.

WoN'T FIeHT.-Tom Hyer don't want to
fight The published card accepting in his name
the challenge of Heenan, was bogus. TOmsays
he is a,,man ofpeace, and has no ambition fol
"bloody war and deeds of great renown." More
over, Mr.. Heenan is his personal, particular
friend; and he has yet to learn thatthe marks Of
the prize ring are marks of friendship. Further
more, when he does conclude to fight, he is not
the man to make so much fuss over it. He
would fight first, and talk afterwards. He be-
ieves "Brag is good dog, but HOldfast is a
better"

chinese Companies in California.

There are in this State five companies, as fol
lows
l. The See Yap Company, 1900 members
2. The Heong Shan or Yong Wo, 1880 mem.
bers 8. The Sam Yap, $500 members. 4
The Ming Heong, 5000 members. 5. The Sun
On, 7,400 members.
The principal places of business for all the
companies is San Francisco, although some OF
them have subordinate Halls at Sacramento
Marysville and Stockton.
Each company has President, Marine Clerk
or Secretary, and Hall Superintendent There
is sometimes a travelling agent. All the officers
are elected by the members, by ballot, for six
months, but usually reelected if found trust
worthy and effective. The salaries of the Pres
idents range from $50 to 500 per mouth; that
of the Secretary is $50, and the Hall Snperin-
tendents the same.
In receiving members, no oath is required,
and no ceremonies are performed; but the can
didate declares his wish, enrolls his name, and
pays down the initiation fee. This fee varies.
With the See Yaps, it is from SIS to $50, and
from 81 to $40 with the Heong Shans, while
the Sam Yaps have fixed theirs at SIS, and the
Ming Heons and Sun Ons ngidly keep it at
$40.
The number of members belonging to each,
is swelled or diminished. according to the arri-
walls OF departures. The members of the See
Yap and Sam zap companies, all come from
the city of Canton and vicinity. The Heong
Shans are from the city of Macao and vicinity.
The Ming Heongs are from the southwestern
part of the Canton Province, and the Sun Ons
are from Hong Kong.
These companies have no cognizance of the
emigration of the Chinese to this State nor of
their exit from it. They were not instituted for
the business purposes of trade and commerce,
but they are In deed benevolent institutions and
mutual aid societies, and their tendencies are
good The halls answer the purpose of ex-
changes, for consultations and for temples of re-
lgiOus worship, as well as relief hospitals

R. R. MATRIMONIAL SALUTE-A railroad man
got married at Belleville the other day, and as
he returned on the evening train to this city,
his fellow railroaders determined upon giving
him and his fair bride salute. Fifteen OF
twenty locomotives were brought up standing on
a switch at the depot, and as the train bearing
the happy pair passed by the whistle on each
locomotive was made to give simultaneous
blast, the like of which was never heard in this
vicinity before. The hideous concert would
have awakened the seven sleepers, as it did the
echoes for miles around, soaring the urbane
bridegroom out of his usual serene equanimity

The proprietors of the Great Eastern steam
ship, the Leviathan as she was once called, are
fitting her for sea with all diligence. They Pur-
chased her for nearly one quarter of her origi-
nal cost, and, of course, can afford to spend all
that is necessary upon her equipment. Our
readers will remember that she is Oftwenty-twO
thousand tons burden, and is the largest ship
ever built, since Noah's Ark. She is to have
six masts, five ofwhich are ofiron. The second
mainmast is 225 feet high, or higher than any
steeple in Hartford She has fourteen boats,
besides two small steamboats, of 100 tous and 60
horse power, which can be hOisted in and out
like small boats in other vessels. She is to
make her trial trip to Portland, Me, as soon as
completed. Whether she will ever pay even
the interest on her equipment is question
She will prove very serviceable in transporting
troops any distance.

Ro,nance Of q sin StoeI<inq.

a few days since, two ladies and gentlemen
well known in the Fifth avenue and fashionable
circles uptown, being out together on an ex-
cursion in Broadway, dropped in at Purcells,
and ordered dinner 1t was servedIn the most
exquisite style, with the rarest game, wines, &C.,
at cost of fifty-twO dollars. The company
converted the entertainment into revel, which
was prolonged to very late hour. AT length,
as the festivities closed, the parties repaired to
their respective homes, somewhat oblivious Of
the mode in which the adventure had termina-
ted. The next day, as the sun was high up in
the sky, one of the ladies awoke from her
trance, and found herself quietly reposing in
her own elegant apartments.
Recalling her senses, she arose and proceed
ed to perform her toilet. Having completed
the attiring of an elegant person, she next at
tempted to adon herself with her jewels, when,
to her extreme disappointment, they were not
| to be found. Somebody must have stolen them,
was her first thought. A diamond cross, ear
rings, pins, &c worth above thousand dol
| lars, had all been taken. 1t was perplexlng to
decide who was the robber Her friends, with
whom she had spent so many hours,were above
suspicion; and yet, she could imagine no one
else who had been near enough to perPetrate
the crime
In this dilemma she sought the assistance OF
| the ponce, ODSunately refusing however,, " OIe-
veal the names of the parties with whom she
had dined. She offered large reward for the
recovery of the missing articles. The detec-
tives employed their utmost skill to ferret out
the purIoiners, but in vain. Her friends, learn
ing her misfortune, offered to make up the loss,
but to this she would not consent. Not a ht-
tie excitement prevailed in the circles in which
the parties moved, which was heightened by the
mystery which hung around the matter.
But the solution came at last in a manner
most unexpected. Two or three days ago the
lady in question was dressing for walk, and
attempted to put on pair Of silk hose which
had not been worn for some time, when, to ner
astonishment, in the foot one of the stockings
she discovered her missing jewelry. She had,
on the evening of the dinner, placed the artl-
cles there for safe keeping, and had not been
conscious afterwards of the circumstance. When
the first glad excitement was over, she hastened
to inform her friends of the occurrence. 1t was
resolved to keep the matter profound secret;
but it had been placed in too many hands, and
it soon came to the knowledge of outsiders

THREE CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH.-On
Friday last, three children of Louis Bender,
tanner, residing at Fostoria, Blair county, were
burned to death by the house taking fire. The
father had gone to work in the morning, and
the mother was absent milking the cows, when,
as is supposed, the children set fire to box of
shavings in the hosse The flames had cut off
all communication before the fire was discover
ed, and the charred remains of the children
were not taken out until the house was in ruins.
The eldest was boy aged five years, the next
was girl aged three, and the third was babe
but three months old. The parents were al
most distracted, and the mother had not tasted
food for three days after the terrible calamity.
