"Oh, Johnny" cried nervous mother. " do
have some pity on my poor head Can't you
play without shouting so ~
Poor Johnny drew up the tape reins with
which he was driving two chairs tandem, and
called out in a loud hoarse whisper, "Get up,
whoa ~ But at length finding little pleasure in
this suppressed amusement, he threw down his
reins, and laying his hand on his breast, said
with long breath, sob, mother, its full of
noise in here, and it hurts me so to keep it in
Don't all little boys make noise when they
play"
''Yes, Johnny, believe they all do" replied
the lady.
''Oh, then, mother dear" cried Johnny in a
winning tone, ''pIease to let me be little boy !'
We will join poor Johnny heartily in this peti.
ton. Please, mothers, let your sons be little
boys while they may. Time is bringing on a
apace life's tolls and cares. Let them have free
and happy childhood; that when your heads are
low in the grave, they may point back to these
days and say awe were Happy children, for
there was always sunshine where our mother
was"

nougIas suubbed and OversIauahed.

The Little Giant fares badly in Virginia
and Washington while hob-nobbing with the
filibusters and Know Nothings in New Orleans.
Resolutions were offered and passed in the Vir-
gi1ia Democratic State Convention endorsing
Buchanan fright up to the handle" and con-
graduating the Democracy of Illinois upon their
victory. The Illinois resolution was got through
by Mr. Wise, of the Richmond Enquirer. The
Virginia Democracy on "sober second thought
reconsidered the resolution, and with marked
indignity towards Senator Douglas, laid it on
the table. There it slept. The following re-
marks by prominent member of the Conven-
ton, indicates the spirit of the thing -
Mr.. Brannon said he knew of some of the
Democracy of Virginia who did not sympatbise
with the Democrats of Illinois in their struggle,
nor indorse their platform. Nor did some of
the Virginia Democracy believe it was necessary
to protect Slavery in the Territories by Con-
gressional legislation; for they believed that it
existed and was protected under the Constitu
ton The right to maintain slave property was
a natural right, and the property itself would
be protected under that right. He feared that
the victory of the Democracy of Illinois would
position he understood to be the necessity of
Congressional legislation to protect Slavery in
the Territories. Now, the Democracy of Vir
ginia believe that Slavery can exist under the
Constitution, and does not require Federal
Legislation to aid it.
The Democrats in the Senate have over
slaughed Mr.. Douglas by m7king Mr.. Green, of
Missouri, the Lecompton leader, Chairman of
the standing Committee on Territories, post of
honor aud Importance long held by the Illinois
Senator. President Buchanan insisted upon
the change, and Douglas got but six or seven
votes in the Democratic Senatorial caucus
These were given by Shields, ,Clingman, Brown,
Toombs, Green and Bigler 1t is stated that
Mr.. Green himself bitterly opposed the change,
and that Gov. Brown, of Mississippi, denounced
it The debate lasted several hours, ,and Toombs,
of Georgia, left the caucus when the discussion
was at its highest Mr. Broderick, of Califor-
mia, was not invited, and Senator Hammond, of
S. c., and others, absented themselves There |
is fun if not fight ahead.

The ARIZONA Gold Mines.

Itwould seem that the golden egg has been
found in Arizona, but not the nest full yet. A
Mr.. Brewster, who came passenger with the
overland mail to St. Louis, in his journey of
about $50 miles along the Gila River, took
especial pains to obtain information in respect
to the gold discoveries. He saw some $50 men
busily engaged in washing for the precious
metal, and the universal report was that no per-
son failed to make good wages, and sturdy old
miner from California now at work on the ella
River, stated that the 'diggins were about the
California average" Mr.. B came to the con-
clusion that gold abounds to a considerable ex-
tent all along the Gia River, and that they are
paying diggings. But he thinks that the re-
ports of the unparalleled richness of the depos-
posits are exaggerated and fabulous. The
greatest difficulty at present with the miners is
in obtaining water necessary to wash the sand,
which now has to be carried $50 to 800 Yards
for that purpose. Small parties were con-
stantly pouring into Arizona, and along the
road to Pixies Peak, mostly from Western Tex
as, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas Mining
implements at Fort Yuma and vicinity are
held at extravagant prices.

C. & p. Rail Road.

No Rail Road in Ohio is so admirably mana
ged, so far as the comfort and accommodation
of the travling public is concerned. The track
is always smooth and safe, the cars clean and
comfortable, and the conductors polite and ac-
commodating. Jas. Farmer, Esq, who dischar-
ges the duties of president and superintendent
and his assistant, Charles Gorham, Esq, are
unceasing in their efforts to advance and protect
the interests of the stockholders and we hear
but one opinion expressed in gard to their
management. This being the case, it is not
probable that any changes will be made in their
department at the annual election of officers,
which takes place on the 5th of January

The Democratic press has proclaimed over
and over again with great JUNCTION that the
Kansas question is settled, and Slavery agita-
ton is dead. What do we see now
The President in his Message digs up Kansas
and makes two column screech over what the
Democrats claimed was ''dcad subject" The
Tribune's letters of the 7th thus states the view
of the matter taken in Washington:
President Buchanan's incendiary Message is
the only topic of conversation here to-day. The
more prudent Southern men condemn the Pres
ident for throwing such frebrand into Con-
gress, and thereby reviving the Slavery agita-
tion, while protesting to deprecate it. They say
1t cannot reasonably be expected that the North
will keep silence when the President himself
re-opens the Kansas question.
In the Senate, Mr.. Mason, of Virginia, led
right off in agitation by bringing up the old
Amistad negro case, which of course will force
Cubl into the arena of Congressional discussion
and the question of slavery generally The
object of the bill is to make the American peo-
pie pay for the loss of certain captured free
men, and the Democrats in the Senate, true to
their agitating instincts and their Southern
masters, with the exception of Broderick, of
California, voted in body to make the "nigger
bill'' the special order for Tuesday next, thus
giving it precedence to some sixty bills on the
calendar ahead of it. The vote stood yeas "a,
nays l9. The President and his Southern sup
porters have commenced the agitation, and ''the
prospect is" writes the Tribune correspondent,
"that the discussion of the agitating topics
will consume so much of the session as to leave
little time for practical business"

The PRINCE OF WALEs.-The Prince Of
Wales, whose movements begin to excite at
trntion has just left England on visit to his
sister at Berlin. His royal higbness left Lon
don on Wednesday, and embarked at night on
board the Black Eagle for Ostend. A stiff
northeaster was blowing hard at the time, and
so heavy was the sea, that it was considered
advisable to telegraph to the Queen as to the
propriety of crossing in such tempestuous
weather; but her majesty returned prompt
answer, that the weather was not to delay him,
and so at nine o'clock, on q night black as Ere
bus, the steam yacht, with the Prince of Wales
on board, plugged into the sugging seas, roaring,
chafng and leaping, as they know how, in the
English channel, to do in peri ection.

The BOne-Carrying Ghost Again.

He brings back bag full, and finishes the job
He knocks an apple out of a mans hand.
We recently publishes story, which is in
circulation among the Spiritualists of this city.
to the effect that the spirit of dissccted man,
whose skeleton belonged to DR.. Redman, had
been picking himself up and bringing his bones
one by one, from Hartford to New York.
Dr. 0rton, the partner of DR.. RedmaD, pub
fishes in the last Spiritual Telegraph an account
of the finale of the affair, which as much sur
passes the previous performances of this indus
| trious ghost, as his previous performances sur
passed the most commonplace doings of ordi-
nary ghosts.
The doctor asserts that on the evening of the
Ist of October, as he was standing with Redman
on the rear piazza, small bone fell on the floor
near him with sharp stroke. He picked itup,
and several more followed. He then called out
number of persons who were then in the OF
fee, and the dropping of bones continued for
some time at intervals. SuPposing the pertor-
nance had closed he drew up a statement of
the details, which was signed by the six visi
tors present. But no sooner had they gone
than the bone-thrOwing recommended; and the
second instalment consisted of fourteen bones,
which the ghost threw in about quarter of an
hour, averaging almost bone a minute, which
was certainly satisfactory, considering the dis
tance he was mpelled to bring them.
The next day, between l and l2 o'clock, the
performance commenced again; and the ghost,
excelIing all his former achievements, hurled a
perfect shower of bones into the room. "They
fell in every part of the office, on the floor, on
chairs, and on the table, some flying swiftly
and fJrcibly from the direction of the windows,
and many in perpendicular line from the cell
ing"
In this way the large bones of the heel, pa
telIa, rib, and various bones of the hands and
feet were showered upon the astounded doctors,
when the ghost, by master stroke, eclipsed all
his previous brilliant achievements. At
last" saws the doctor, " as all of US were
standing at the table, suddenly there fell down
in the midst of US bag containing SiTty one
of the smallest bones of the human body
This bag was of muslin, and about fifteen inch
es long, and it fell directly before my face
much nearer to me than to the other parties
present-in direct line apparently from the
ceiling, and with such force that it marked the
table where it struck" The parties present
were Drs Orion and Rodman, and brother of
the latter.
This temporarily closed the exhibition; but an
hour afterwards, as DR.. Orlon was entering his
house, he encountered a thigh bone, eighteen
inches long, which came down with such force
as to knock an apple out of his hand Soon
after the tibia was thrown, which concluded
the programme. The actual time (which he
has spent in the work is stated to be eighteen |
hours-noti'so soon, to be sure, as they might |
have been brought on the cars-but, all things |
considered, we think the ghost has made good
time.

Indinnn u. s. Senators

The Senate of Indiana came up to the work
on the sth, and passed the Senatorial Election
bill, after some sharp parliamentary skirmishing
by vote of twenty-six to twenty-one; Goodmg
and Wilson, Anti -Lecompton Democrats, refus-
ing to vote, and Wallace, Anti-Lecompton, ab-
sent 1t is worthy of note that although n the
Lecompton Democrats used every means to de-
feat the bill, they did not pretend in the discus
sion that the election of Bright and Fitch was
legal.
There is scarcely doubt but the House will
concur in the passage of the bill, and that two
legally elected Senators will demand seats at
Washington in place of the usurpers.

New College Mt Xeuia.

The Second United Presbyterian Synod of the
West, during their session in October at Aenia,
resolved to establish college OF a high order,
to be located at Xenia, with an endowment of
100000 This determination is one of the
happy results arising from the Union cOnsum-
mated last May, between the Associate and As
sociate Reformed Presbyterian Churches. That
the United Church has deep appreciation Of
the value of superior style of education is
evinced from the fact that they nOlo have six
Colleges under their control, four of which are
remarkably successful. They are: Franklin
College at New Athens, o., Westminster Col
lege at Newcastle Penn, Madison College at
Antrim, O., Muskingum College at Concord, O.,

Mr.. kirkland, planter from Nicaragua, has
arrived at Washington, who states that in the
event of failure by the agent in the United
States, to contract for the exclusive right of the
transit, arrangements would be made to throw
open the route to competition, the Government
of Nicaragua to demand small passenger tax
The Washington despatch thus closes:
Mr.. Kirkland says, and his statement is cor
federated by another resident of Nicaragua, that
the country is in wretched and unsettled con-
dition, the people being in continued alarm that
Walker and his followers were hovering in the
neighborhood. The American and British YES
ses of war were stationed a: all accessible
points to prevent the landing of the filliousters
No symptoms of outbreak were apparent
among the natives, nor was it known that there
was any party ready to make common cause
with the invaders. There were but few persons
from the United States in that country. Those
settling in good faith are not moested, but all
others actuated by contrary motive are soon
made to understand that their room is better
than their company.

the old City Cemetery, from the route of St.
Antoine street, the body of girl, apparently,
was taken out, which was in a petrifed condi-
ton, being, on the outward surface, as hard as
stone, while the features were in good state
of preservation. We hear of no explanation of
the singular phenomenon. The body was rem
dered so heavy by its changed condition, that
the coffin was considerably torn to pieces by its
weight Detroit Tribune.

DETROIT U. S. DISTRICT CoURT.-In the
case of the bark Fame, Judge Wilkins has de
cided that she was forfeited to the United
States The Advertiser says;
Some time in the summer the Fame took in
quantity of liquor at Amherstburg, CIV, for
Port Sarnia. She stopped here and at Port
Huron, but failed to report the liquor according
to law, at either port, although requested to
DO so at Port Huron. The Judge decided that
by this neglect the vessel was forfeited.
In the case of Quigley VS.. the tug Uncle Ben,
judgment was also rendered in favor of the
ibellant for $1,000 and costs-salvage in get
ting the tug off the rocks on the coast of Lake
Huron last summer.
