"Nonsense There is no novelty in The

The powder was carried across the plans
at .he expense Of the United States gov

ss- From the following item, which we find
in the Star, IL would seem that some of the
f" loving husbands of Napoleon do not exactly
perform to suit their wives. We would suggest
to the wives the proprety Of forming compa-
ny to break up these sinks Of inquity which
destroy their peace and, young ladies, before
you tie your apron stings to young man, be
sure that he is not lover Of the allurng cup
and the exciting game:
a SHAME.--lt is not very unfrequent that the
decidedly !" better half" of some of our fast
men in Napoleon, go to those sinks Of iniquity,
where their husbands spend their money at the
card Ia BILE. and for drink" and lead them home.
We have heard that the proprietor Of one Of
these institutions" who has but recently en-
barked in the business of preparing men for the
gutter, the penitentiary and the gallows, has
made the very gentemanly (') remark, that if
a woman would go to his grocery to take her
husband away she would get " coat of tar and
feathers" We don't believe it would be "good
for his wholesome to carry out this threat,
although it might be beneficial to the commu-
nifty at large.

A NIlnnrlir MoglsLnturc.

Itisa fact worthy of note, that The men who
ate mskug laws for Ohio and repeating enecl-
nens we'll known TO have the sanction Of a
large majority Of the people, received only q
minority Of the peoples votes. Of the 3l5,6Os
votes cast in the aggregate Tor oil members Of
che House OF Representatives, tha il Republican
members had l6OsiS, while the GO democratic
members had only 1884, ,760 votes, being just g..
06S in the minority. And yet this minority
m.jority is willing to violate the wishes Of the
pcoplc, os clearly expressed in their vote for Gov
ernor and for members Of the legislature. When
,he will of the majorty is thus diSregarJcd and
,rampled under foot by men who accidentally
find themselves in power what advantage do we
derive from our boosted Republican Institutions
There is no genuine democracy in such enact
,mcnts--no tyranny could do more than set III
deliaace the vol known wishes OF the people
IN is q subversion of the foundation principles
upon which our government rests, aud marks
the sham democracy of Ohio as traitors TO The
principle that MAORI shalt rule.

Josiah Richardson, of this township, found
among the corn OF his raising, one cor having
fifteen hundred and forty.uine grains, (l5i9) or
kernels, upon il, which about filled quart cup
harvested last summer, $50 bushels of wheat.
Who beats that? N J. STERNS.
Browns Corners, Jan'y. 22nd, 1853
Will friend Sterns please inform us how
many acres Of wheat he cut, ond the quality
of the soil on which it was grown7 There is a
disposition among our farmers to give more
attention to the cultivation of wheat than has
been customary. Many good farmers ore con-
hdcnt that the soil of Wood County can be as
profitably devoted TO wheat raising ps it is TO
that OF corn, and we all know that ior cultiva-
ting the latter there is no better in the State
Other farmers, equally skilled, do net hesitate
to express the opinion that the richness of tho
soil and the level surface of the ground, are Sc
rioas objections to the cultivation of wheat
To arrive at the truth, farmers should compare
views and experiments, 1t is not necessary
that oil should experiment and lose time and
the product of their lands, when the published
statements of the experience OF Others will save
them this trouble aud expense.

To rHk PoiNr.--Our prudent democratic

severe on his friends in the legislature for med
ding with the Cincinnati platform and other
matters entirely foreign to the duties pertaining
60 their business. Here is what he says:
"rhe present Ohio Legislature has shown
little OF the propensity with which the last Leg
jsiature was affected to meddle with what did
not concern them, and To gas and resolve about
Kansas aud other foreign issues. The passage Of
resolves endorsing Mr. Buchanan may be all
we'll enough but it should not be done at the
charge of the treasery. The Cincinnati Demo
cratic platform may receive approval, but this
