Horace Greelev's advice.

When Horace Greeley tenders advice,
it is generally characterised by good COM
mon sense, He is a practical man him
self, and wants those around him who
entertain similar views. The compost
tors of the Tribune office recently present
ed the old chief of that establishment
with a large silver watch, of American
manufacture, made by the Watch Com
pany at Waltham, Mass, and on receiv-
ing il, after suitable Acknowledgements,
Mr.. Greeley concluded his address as fol-
lows:
Friends, | came 10 this city twenty
five years ago, since which lime ! have
been printer and editor, both as employee
and employer. | have observed the
course pursued by our craft; and

The Harvest on The Continent.

The Echo Agricole says: The wheat
harvest is nearly terminated in France.
Generally speaking, 1t will not be of such
good quality as that of 1857. and will
weigh on an average four to five kilo
grammes less per hectolitre. The har-
vest of 1853 will. consequently, be less
than the preceding: but it mus not be
forgotten that that of 1857 was above the
average.
From Sweden it is reported that the
accounts from the governors of provin-
ces say the crops show a very midling
prospect. The export of cotton from The
North of Europe will. therefore. be very
limited this year. Prices are moving up
in all the markets in Sweden.
The crops in the grand du;hy of Fin
land. are all favorably spoken of, and an
imperial ukase has extended the time
during which corr may be imported. free

The latest accounts from Odessa, say
that some damage has been done by
rain to the crops in Poland and Bessara.

Fire and Noble Conduct.

Sunday night a fire broke out in the
drug store of DR.. Harris, in Cincinnati,
and the dense smoke shot up rapidly to
the fourth story, occupied as a residence
by Mr.. Duncan. When the Hook and
Ladder Company arrived, Mrs. D. was
seen at the window imploring aid, and
apparently about TO leap TO the ground.
She was shouted to keep back and to
close the window, which she did. A
ladder was seon run up, and the Gazette
SAYS:
Policeman George Carr, a noble fell
low and a brave officer, ventured up the
ladder and into the room, at the risk OF
his life. Water was freely played on,
and he soon appeared bearing Mrs. Dun
can. As she was safely brought down,
the pent up feelings of the crowd burst
into loud cheers and clapping of hands.
George ventured in again and brought
out a child, which was passed down. A
third time he entered and brought out
the remaining child. Each time he ap-
peareG with his precious human freight,
the crowd gave him hearty cheers
There was in Mr.. Duncan'S room be-
sides herself and two children, a hired
girl who had got out while the others
were escaping in front, TO the back win
dows in the third story, whence she
Ieaped on to a porch and escaped with
no injury beyond a few bruises. and
some suffocation.
All were nearly suffocated, and Mr..
Carr at q o'clock yesterday morning
was SPECIFICS and in a very critical
condition. He had inhaled great guam
titles of smoke and was in intense pain.

A Story with a Moral.

The Bucyrus (O.) Journal tells us a
story Of D. and j., two verdant gentlemen
of that place, who went TO Cleveland in
company. On arriving there, D. propos
ed a spree, but j., satisfied with seeing
the lions, thought it best to forego a visit
10 the elephants. Accordingly D. start
ed off alone. leaving his watch and a con
siderable amount of money with his
friend Tor safe keeping. Never having
so large a sum in his possession before,
J. felt the greatness of the trust imposed
upon him. He passed a sleepless night,
meditating on the mishaps that might
befall the reckless D. His concern was
not diminished the next morning on find
ing that the reveler had not returned, and
the thoughts flashed across his mind that
If he had been MURDER ed. the possession
of his watch and money would direct
suspicion upon him. As the hours wore
away, and brought no D. with them, his
anguish and fear gave place to despera-
ton, and rushing to the lake side, he
hurled the evidences of the anticipated
crime into the water.
Hardly had he returned TO his hotel
when D. entered, bearing the marks OF
a protracted spree. and of its occasional
concommi;ant, a fight, He had become
involved in a broil. lockedupinth the watch
house and fined, and now wanted his
money. The scene that ensued was more
exciting than agreeable to either party,
but a compromise was finally effected.
and the two returned to the rural dis
%tricts, impressed with the conviction that
thugh it may be sometimes agreeable TO
go on a spree, it is not always very pleas
an. work to get over it.

The State Fair

In order that those having stock which
they wish to exhibit at the approaching
State Fair, may not be deferred from SC
doing by the impression that there will
not be sufficient Accommodations provided
for stock, we should say that the pro-
visions being made for that purpose are
most ample. Seven hundred stalls are
to be erected on the Fair Grounds-fulIy
three hundred more than was ever pro-
vi'ed at any State Fair in Ohio; and as
to provender. there will be a suficiency
kept constantly on hand during the Fair
to meet all possible demand. In short.
we wish it distinctly understood by stock
men generally, throughout the State
that the most ample and best possible
Accommodations for kind will be provided.
There is a profusion Of hay and grain in
this section of country, and it will be
supplied in abundance for the use of ex
hibitors. Hay and straw will be fur
nished upon the grounds free of charge;
and arrangements have been made with
a responsible party to furnish, also on
the grounds, all the corn and oats that
will be wanted, at market prices, and in
quantities. To provide against any pos
sible failure of water for stock, the
committee have arranged to lay a
lead pipe from the Bay, whence the wa
ter is to be driven by steam power. for
a fountain and reservoir in the grounds.
1t will thus be seen that every possible
arrangement for the proper accommoda-
tons of Stock at the Fair is being made.
If exchanges will give attention to the
matters herein stated, and create a cor
rect impression of the state of things,
by giving a general circulation of these
which we have received
from official sources, they will doubtless
confer a favor which is of public interest.

The mysterious delay attending the
operations of the Atlantic Telegraph be-
fore the message of the Queen and Pres
ident passed, and which led TO so many
SuTmises of a failure of the enierprise, az
last is explained as follows, by the Bos-
ton AdUertiser:
"lt appears that in the passage of one
electrical signal across the ocean-not
only is an appreciable time consumed,
but the signal itself changes, in a degree.
its original character. A signal which
on a short linewould seem perfectly sharp
and prompt, takes the form of a long
wave, and requires from six 20 len sec
onds 10 declare itself between The begin
ming of the effect and its end.
Between what such a signal would be
at the end of a short wire, and what il is
at the end of the Atlantic wires, there is
somewhat the same difference as between
the shortest ~(staccalo) blast OF a whistle,
and a note drawn out with the swell Of an
organ, TO the length of six or ever ten
seconds. A distinct feature to be observ-
ed is the swell Of the prolonged signal.
1t has more force in the middle of It's
period, and gains and Iooses that free
gradually. The ordinary instruments in
use for telegraphing are not adapted to
such peculiarities in the electric signals,
and therefore miaerial alterations will
have to be made. Hence the delay"

Woman's Rights.

Great advance has been made in Ohio,
says the Cleveland Herald, within a few
years, in securing to married women ab-
solute right over their property, and
a voice in the disposition Of that which
their exertions have helped to accumu
late. A Ease is now before the Count in
Cincinnati, as we see by the Gazette, in
which the wife brings suit for furniture
disposed of by a drunken husband. The
law of 1857 provides that "no married
man shall sell, dispose of, or in any man
ner part with any personal property
which is now, or may hereafter, be ex-
empt from execution aOithom first having
obtained the consent of his rife thereto"
The law further provides that ''if any
married man shall violate the provisions
Of the first section. his wife may, in her
own name, commensurate prosecute to
final judgment and execution, a civil suit
for the recovery of such property, or its
value in money"
The law further provides that in case
the husband shall desert her. or from in
temperance or other cause. becomes in
capacitated. or neglects to provide for
his family, the wife may make contracts
and do business ip her own name. The
g ,zene says:
The principal object of the law was to
protect a married woman against being
made entirely destitute by a drunken
husband. but there are very few who
are aware that such a law is in our stat
ute books, and a far less number who
ever resort to its provisions for their own
protection. The general impression is
that the husband has a perfect legal
right to do as he wills with personal
property, without regard 10 the wishes
of the wife-a very erroneous under
standing of the law.
