The acquitial Of Cole, which, in our desire 70
lay the evidence before our readers last week,
We neglected to announce. has been made the
subject Of no ipcousidorabIe amooot Of Ouiuad-
versions. Judge aud jury, as well as the citizens
Of our county, from whom that jury was select
ed have each and oil incurred the displeasure
Of sundry Of our Cleveland contemporaries,
whose stomaebs had been Fixed for the execuI
ton, because that jury found il 10 nccordauce
with their sworn duty to render verdict Of
not guilty. These presses we are inclined to
think, have been a little too hasty IN bestowing
their ceDsure as Mr.. BENEDIor, Of the Herdla
admits. Whatever may have been che popular
opinion Of the guilt Of Cole, here or elsewhere,
we have heard but one sentiment with regard to
The character Of the testimony and the verdict
is in accordance with that sentiment. The tes-
timony from day to day, which was listened to
with deep interest," had its own effect, and pre-
pared the minds Of those who thus took note
Of it, for the result which followed Probably
it will be as safe in such cases to leave the YER
dict with the jury, as for a few OF our editorial
brethren to assume the Office which juries are
sworn TO perform. The ends Of justice, will
probably be as well subserved

Rocky Rirer White Fish

Heretofore most of the White Fish in this

the vicinity Of Ver1nion and Avon.

Is Welding large quantities Of White Fish, Bass
Pike, Herring, etc. We understand that as high
as thirty to fifty or sixty hundred pounds of fish
have been taken from the pound at single hauls
The fish. undressed, have been brought to tins
p5rt, and sold as low as one to two cents pei
pound, by the quantity. Rocky River White
Fish retail in market here at five cents pei
pound, undreszed, and small Pike, Herring, etc,
at from ten to fifteen cents string, or about 4
cent piece.
There are numerous fish pounds about San

Lake, and very large quantities OF fish are thus
taken. This mode of fishing is avery destruet-
i've one, and yet the fishes Of Erie seem t" hold
their own in number, size. and quality.

Washington Matters.

The Tribune's despatch Of the 3lst ult. has
the following items OF interest:
Mr. Buchanan has expressed a disposition to
recommend specific duties as a substitute lcr
aa Ualorem duties, upon the revenue principle,
and to prevent the frauds notonous under the
present system Senator Bigler and others
have encouraged this inclination. Secretary
Cobb adheres to Free-trade dogmas Obstinately,
and openly ridicules the policy OF PIotection.-
Wide differences are to be reconciied before any
E agreement can be reached.
The subject mas not been considered IN the
Cabinet, and may be deferred until the arrival
of leading Southern members. MIR. Hunter Is
known to be opposed to any change. Some
Pennsylvanians urge the repeal OF the act OF
1857 simply. and then suggest the falling back
on the Tariff of 1916,

sisting of three young men, viz Lorenzo

sail. until off Avon Point, when about five
miles from shore, the boat capsized, and but for
the timely aid of Mr.. Gardner Oaks, who was
about mile and half behind, in another fish
boat, they must have all perished- They
all succeeded in climbing on to the boat as she

Phelps was nearly exhausted.
Oaks succeeded in making Black River where

The FIRST WOMAN ON PIKE's PEAE.-Mrs.
Holmes, formerly of Lawrence, writes to her
mother, Mrs Archibald at that place, as follows:
"In all probability, l am the first woman who
has ever stood upon the summit of this noun
tain, and gazed upon this wondrous scene
which my eyes now behold. How | sigh for
a poets power of description so that | might
give you some faint idea of the grandeur and
beauty of this scene. Extending as far as the
eye can reach lie the great level plains stretched
out in all their veIdure and beauty, while the
winding Of the grand Arkansas, is visible for
many miles. We can also see distinctly where
many of the smaller tributaries unite with it -
The rugged rocks all around, and the almost
endless succession ofmountains and rocks below,
the broad blue sky over our heads, and SEEM

the eye can rest, fills the mind with inhnltude
and sends the soul to God"

tending from st Paul to the British line at Penn

railway lines through Canada. This will give

Allowing the road to cost S25 600 per mile, 1t

equipment. 1t is important from other - stand
