GREAT Moral TmuMpH we have noticed,
in another column. the indictment by a grand
jury OF Lucas county, ofJames i. Steedman, the
| distinguished democratic leader, late member of
the Board Of Public Works, and printer to Con-
gress, for oGending the State laws in the matter
OF glmblng sinca that paragraph was in type,
we have received letter from Toledo, dated on
Monday, from which we quote as loliows
"The late Printer to Congress, G,n Sleed-
man, is to b. tried in our court to-day on an in
dictmemt for gaming Jim. Conlis (another
democra) plead guilty to the same oiI.nce on
Friday last. Paul Edwards the democratic col.
lector of canal tolls, has been tried and found
guilty"
These are the kind Of men that democracy
likes to honor. Mr. Follot asked, in his speech
on Monday, whether we ever knew the dcmoc-
racy TO expcl one Of its members for corruption.
1t would seem that the courts take better caro-
Of the democracy than the democracy takes care
of itself.--NSwGrk Amcrican.
REArpEARANcE OF THE PLAouE-Thc plague
after an iutermission of twenty years, has reap
peaIod in the districts of the Pasholih or Trpoi,
called Beng ii, and at last accounts was continu
ing to make ravages as an epidemic. There was a
rumor that it had reached Constantinople, but it
was thought to be unfounded. The most string
ent quarantine regulations have been resorted TO-,
and it is to be hopedthat this scourge Of the earth
will be confined 10 the precincts of the districts in
which it has appeared.
WIpED Our.--Some weeks ago The Postmas.
ter at New California, in this county. received
a prospectus from the Washington Union re-
questng him to act as agent for the paper and
Toward subscribers.
We understand that the P. NJ. became very
| indignant at such requisition, and Immediate
y wrote very saucy letter to the publishers of
the Union, refusing to act agent of the Union,
and in which he said good many hard things
about the President Lccompton, &c. For this
off'nce he was not only beheaded, but the Post
Office is wiped out, defunct, among the things
that were, and the people made to suffer for the
| indscreton of the p. NJ. But in this the ad-
minstration shows its weakness -Mqrvs0ille

CAN A MAN BE HIS Own GRANDFATHER .
The query answered in the affirmative "There
was widow and her daughter-in-law, and a
man and his son. The widow married the son,
and the daughter the old man. the was there
fore, mother TO her husbands father, consequent
y grandmother to her own husband. They had
a sou TO whom she was great grandmother /;
now, as the son ofa grandmother must be ethe r
Il grandfather or great uncle, this boy was
therefore, his own grandfather N. B. This
was actually the Case with boy at school at

The STATE FAIR.-In order that those having
stock which they wish 20 exhibit at the ap-
pronching State Fair may not be deferred from
SO doing BY the Impressions that there will not
be sufficient accommodations provided for stock,
we would say thai the provisions being made
for that purpose are most ample Saveral hun
| dred stalls are to be erected on the Fair grounds
fully three hundred more than have ever been
provided at any State Fair in Ohio; and as to
provender there will be suifciency kept con.
stantly ON hand during the Fair TO meet all pos
Sibe demand, In Short we wish it distinctly
understood by stock men generally, Throughout
the State, that the most ample and best possible
accommodations 70 stock Of every kind will be
provided. There is a proiuSion of hay and
grain III this section OF country, and it will be
supplied III abundance for the use of exhibitors
hay and straw will be furnished upon th(
grounds free of charge; and arrangements have
been made with responsible party to furnish
also on the grounds, all the corn and oats tina
will be wanted, at market prices, and in guam
titles 20 suit purchasers. TO provide agains
any possible failure Of water for stock, the com
mittee have arranged to lay lead pipe from th
Bay, whence the water is to be driven by steam
powertor fountain and reservoir in the ground
1t will thus be seen that every possible arrange
ment for the proper accommodation of stock
the Fair is being made. If exchanges will Civ
attention to the matters herein tated, and create
d correct impression of the state Of things, bI
giving general circulation to these assurances
which we have received from official sources
5 they will doubtless confer a favor which is o
public Interest," SanduShy Reg.
