An ANGEL VIsIT.-The Kenton,
Ohio, Republican contains singular sto-
ry of an angel visit, said to have occurred
at Orange, in Hancock county Ohio
The parties concerned do not seem to
have been spiritualists. A Ms. Charles
one day found her little daughter holding
conversation with some invisible being,
to whom she was looking and reaching
up, in the open air. the child said ii
was an angel, and she saw him come
down from the sky. Immediately Mrs.
Charles herself was able to see the angel
when he talked with her, and foretold &c
her the time and circumstances of heI
own and her daughters death. The
child has since died under the clrcum
stances foretold, some of which WERE
very peculiar, and Mrs. Charles con
templates similar fulflment of the pre-
diction as to herself. The affair has ere
ated great interest in the vicinity. ant
an Ineligible account of it is to be pub
lished in pamphlet.

The SHIPS SUNK AT SEBAsToPoL

HE SHIPS SUNK AT SEBAST0POL.
A letter from Constantinople of the
9Th says:
The schooner Silver Key ard the steam
er General Knox, belonging to the Amer
lean Wrecking Companies which under
took to raise the vessels of war sunk in
the harbor of Sebastopol, have returned
and are advertised for sale. The attempt
to raise the sunken vessels has failed :;
not one Of them was recovered. The
Black sea teredo, so often attributed to
the we'll calculated imagination of the
Russian Admiralty, is reality. 1t has
eaten up the body of the Russian feet
leaving only the outer shell. The wheel
of the Twelve Apostles has been brought
down as specimen. Although it con-
sisted of strong mahogany, two years
and half in the waters of Sebastopol
have reduced its weight almost to moth
ing. No external change is visible be-
You'd few small holes where the greedy
miners sank their shafts. The most ap-
proved contrivances were tried by the
two rival companies. The vessels were
caulked and made seemingly water tight,
but when it came to pumping out it was
found that the timber was so rotten that
the water percolated everywhere through
the galleries made by the teredo.

VI iilC Cl-4l
Indian Relics.

Mr.. EDITOR A few days since a
pile of Indian arrow heads, about two
hundred in number were found upon the
top of the hill a short distance to the west
of our village they are of stone l think,
Unknown to this sootion of the country.
That they we're wrought and deposited
there by the swarthy race, is certain. but
how long ago, no tradition can tell
Doubtless the wigwam once stood upon
the top of this hill, beneath the shade Of
the wide spreading branches of the tall
evergreen. There the Indian hunter
could listen to the music of the waterfall
hard by, and there too, he could overlook
the dense wood that covered the valley
below, then his richest hunting ground
but now the site of flourishing village
| Little did he then think, that ere long
within the flight of his arrow, would be
/ erected the church and the school-house
of different race; but so it is. The
white man has come in his strength
and with his inventions. The Indian
has passed away forever. No mark nov
indicates the spot where once the wigwan
stood, and no trace is left of his formel
proves or ingenuity, save here and there
some curious relics of his mechanism du!
up by the white mans hoe or plough.

The Place Tor schooIma,ms...

Prentice, of the Louisville Journal relates
the following experience Of his sending
schoolma'ms South: ..Sonae may think il
strange lit isn't, though that ever since
the time when we remarked In our paper
tnat nine tenths of all the hundreds of Young
women sent by US to the South as teachers,
got married there, We have been literally
overwhelmed with applications from New
England New York, Pennsylvania and
DO not think that in justice to such
OF our Southern friends as are in want of
teachers we can send any girl that will not
pledge herself to US to continue at least six
months In the business. We know that
the condition seems hard, but really we shall
have to be inexorable.
About three years ago, the trustees of a
fine female academy in one of the Southern
States wrote to US to send them a teacher.
We sent them very beautiful and accom-
plished young lady, and they promptly
wrote US letter of warm thanks for the
selection. In about three months they wrote
US again, telling US that their teacher had
got married. and requesting US to send them
another. We did send them another, quite
as beautiful and accomplished as the first,
and they were, as they might be, very much
delighted with her. In just about three
months, however, they applied to US third
time, begging US to send them still another,
the second having got married like the first
In their last application, however, they in
sisted that the lady next sent should be
plain-looking and not lees than thirty five
years old. The conditions were difficult,
and we did not succeed in complying with
them. We prevailed upon our friends, the
trustees, to accept richly talented young
lady who was neither old nor ugly, she Civ
ing US her honor that she would not marry
in less than half year. We understand
that she held out like brave, good girl to
the end of the specified time, but not day
afterward."

subject. We have heard farmers and 9TH

"Count rhemn %

Count what? Why, count the mercies
that have been quietly falling in your path
through every period of your history
Down they come, every morning and every
evening, as angel messengers, from the
Father of lights to tell you of your best
friend in heaven. Have you lived these
years wasting mercies, treading them under
your feet, and consuming them every day,
and never yet realized from whence they
came? do you ask what are these mer-
eies?" Ask the sunbeam, the rain-drop,
the stars, or the queen of night. What is
your life but a mercy? What is the pro-
Priety of stopping to play with thorn
bush, when you may just as well pluck
sweet flowers. and eat pleasant fruits? Hap
py is he who looks at the bright side of
life, of providence, and of revelation. Who
avoids thorns, thickets, and boughs. until
his Christian character is such, that if he
improve them, he may pass among
them without injury. Count mercies before
you complain of Affections.

old Folks Elopement.

Justice Purdy married couple yester-
day who fully merit tie felicity which they
will doubtless enjoy in connubial union
The bridegroom was an old bachelor, whose
years numbered three score and ten. and
whose looks betokened him innocent of wo-
mankind. His bride was widow, who
asserted that she was but fifty seven, but
the by ISLANDERS set her down at eighty. 1t
appeared that the widow. in the exercise of
those winsome ways which widows do affect,
inveigled the bachelor into an attachment
which both parties proposed to consummate
in matrimony. An objection arose. howev-
er, in the shape of several infants, twenty
or thirty years old, belonging to the widow,
who most decidedly objected to her marry
ing. In this dilemma they resorted to the
usual dodge peculiar to young people and
eloped. As they lived in Canada, the only
place to elope To was the United States, and
they accordingly came to 0etroit-the BRIDE
groom coming first, and the widow joining
him afterwards. Their delight at the sue
cessful termination of their romantic ad-
venture was unbounded.-DetroI Free
