Librarr Association Feslival.

This evening the Second Annual Festival of
the Cleveland Library Association will be held
at Chapin's Hall. The Committee of Arrange
ments have spared no effort to make II the Fes-
tival of the season, and the programme is varied
and inviting, something choice for every taste
SAReEANr's capital Band will enliven with their
sweetest strains; popular Quartette will be
sung by the Cleveland favOTites, Mr. HoLBRooK,
Mr. HAMMOND, Miss SEGUR, and Miss BARRows;
Reading from the Poets viii follow by Professor
EDeERroN; a Duett by two Lady amatuers
whose songs always charm; Reading from Dick
ems by Col Parsons; and Supperin STAcEY's
best style Prof YoUNANs will be the guest of
the Association, and it is hoped will favor his
many Cleveland friends and admirers with his
instructive and animated eloquence, After
Supper, music, promenades, etc.
The Cleveland Library Association is a Home
institution every parent and young man aud
woman should foster An old debt of some 500
rests upon the Association, and the present
Board of officers are exceedingly anxious to
cancel it. The receipts of the Festival will be
thus applied, and we trust will be found suffi-
cient to place the Association in an Independent
position.
The Cleveland Library is no ephemeral in
stitution. 1t has solid claims on the solid citi-
zens. It will have much to do with forming
the habits and characters of the young from
generation to generation. The Books of the
Library, and the Lectures before the Assoeia-
tion from year to year, will be the best perma-
nent and paying investment parents, guardians,
and public benefactors can make. The diyid-
ends will not Jingle in the pocket, but what is
infinitely better, will add an hundred fold to the
treasures of mind.
Add generously then from time to time to the
Librsry funds, and sustain with cheering words
and acts the Young Men who labor to advance
the interests of an Association SO intimately
connected with the intellectual and moral
growth and prosperity of Cleveland.

McDoweu the suicide-A warning.

We published few days ago an account of
the suicide of Charles Mcdowell, of Malvern,
Carroll county, as furnished by a correspondent
The Salem Republican thus comments on the
sad case of this victim of liquor selling:
In the death of the person spoken of above,
intemperance has another victim, and young
men another warning. Years ago, long before
the life destroying serpent of the still had so
completely wound its fatal coils around him,
and when he was far from being beyond hope,
we knew him well. But step by step he was
allured from the path of rectitude and duty, by
the siren song of the tempter. The whisky
seller, who, IN a great measure is guilty of his
blood, closely pursued him, like hounds after
game, at time when, we well recollect, he
joined the church, forsoOk his old associates and
resolved to be a better man. They, however,
too well succeeded in their devilish purpose,
and led him again to ''look upon the wine when
1t is red, and whenit giveth its color in the cup"
Since then we have frequently met him, and
always found him pursuing the downward
course, apparently regardless of consequences.
We saw him at the Harlem Springs COnven
ton, in August last, and were sorry to see a
man possessing his talent and physical strength
prostituting them to so base an end !; for he was
nesday evening last, we were visiting some of
our friends in Malvern, and heard he was living
there, but as debased as ever, and but little hope
of him ever reforming. On Thursday morning,
as we were about starting home, it was report
ed that this poor wretch, Tired of the miserable
life he was leading, had committed suicide
Following the people, we soon arrived at his
house, and there found him lying on the floor
in the last agonies of death, and the gun, with
which he killed himself, lying across his feet.
The cries of his wife and children were pain
fully heart-rending, and for all the gold of Cal
itornia, We would not have been in the place of
rumselier, who was standing by, as that wo-
man, in her phrensy, called down upon his
head the retribrtive justice of that God, before
whom the spirit of her selE-muIdered husband
was then standing.
We have made 50 long note of this sad af-
fair, in the hope that some young men, who may
read it, may be induced to consider their own
safety. We knew M'Dowell when he drank as
little, perhaps, as some we could name, who
have not now the least idea of becoming drunk
ards; and yet, his end may be their end. AL
though he might hare been a very useful man in
society, he slighted his advantages, and " died
as the fool dieth." So there is danger of all
doing, who tamPer with strong drink. Young
man, belrare!

CRIME IN NFR4NcE.-The report of the French
Minister of Justice upon the administration of
criminal justice in France in 1857, has been
published, from which we learn that during that
period there were no less than 297 cases of
murder, 80 of poisoning, I3 of paIicide, 100 of
infanticide, 76 Of cutting and wounding, causing
death, % of rebellion and violence TO public
funetionaries, s3I criminal assaults on women
and children, 90 coming, 499 forgery, 1886
burglary, 206 arson, and III fraudulent bank
ruptey. Report is said to be an improvement on
former wears. The period for which offenders
are detained in prison awaiting their trial has
been considerably diminished owing to improve
ments effected in the form of criminal proceed
ings.

SoReHCM S1RUP-Mr. E. W Mather, of So
lon, Cuyahoga county, on the 9th of May last
planted 5st rods of ground to Chinese Sugar
Cane. He begau to cut it up Oct. 25th, ground
the cane at mill in Bedford, obtained 425
gallons of juice which produced 9lf gallons of
molasses, which readily sells at SO cents per
gallon, amounting to S57,4S.
Minnesota has the biggest Chinese Sugar
Cane manufactOry that we have yet heard OF,
and the cultivation of the Sorghum in that north
ern latitude seems to be complete success
The St Anthony Express states that the cul-
ture has been carried on the past season to a
greater or less extent in nearly every county in
the State At Fairbault, Rice county, Mr. E. P.
Mills, has gone into the culture and manufac
ture on quite an extensive scale His building,
several hundred feet in length, presents quite
the appearance of Southern or West India su-
gar house. He has mills for grinding the cane
which were kept running day and night during
the grinding season, and some boiling pans
that hold about 100 gallons of juice each He
has manufactured from 100 to $50 barrels of
syrup, which is scarcely inferior to the best
golden syrup, and sells readily at IS cents per
gallon Mr. Mills is SO thoroughly satisfied of
the entire success of the culture of the cane in
Minnesota, that he proposes next year to culti-
vate from fifty to seventy-fve acres, and to erect
perma nent steam sugar works

CURIOUS CAsE.-About three years ago an old
miser named Merriman died in Upper Sandus-
Ky, leaving money and property amounting to
a single relative living, and it was supposed his
property would escheat to the State. 1t turns
out, however, that ne was convicted of Snug
Cling on the Rhine, that afterward he came to
this country, assumed the name of Merriman,
and that he has relatives in Germany who have
traced deceased to Ohio, and bid fair to estab-
lish their right to the estate of deceased.

AMERIcANs TRAVELLING IN EuRoPE.-A cor
respondent of the Philadelphia q. S. Gazette
saws that since Gen. Cass became Secretary of
State, ten thousand eight hundred and seven
passports have been issued from the Depart
ment. Each passport is supposed to cover three
of family on an average, making some thirty
thousand persons year. Allow an expenditure
of $1,000 each, and thirty millions year would
thus be carried out of the country from this
source only. This estimate represents only
part of the travel, and does net include those
VINO use their old passports, or those who go
to the British dominioDs. to which none are re-
quIred, and get passports there from the Amer
lean Legation, as many do. The fact is interes-
ting and worthy of reflection.

Funeral OF the ArcEduchess Margaret of
Austria---The Remains Distributed among
the Bishops.

Funeral OF the ArcEduchess Margaret of
Austria---The Remains Distributed among
the Bishops.
The n. Y. Evening Post translates the fol-
lowing curious details from q German private
letter recently received from Vienna
90 The Hapsburgers 1.-THE reigning-house of
Austria while living must be reyerenced-when
dead they must be worshipped. As a proof of
this let me relate to you what disposition was
made of the dead body of the Archduchess Mar
garet lwhOse death was sometime since announ-
cedl. Archducal dust must not return to dust;
and priestly cunning and monarchial tradition
call for the enactment in one of the largest and
most brilliant capitals of Europe of drama
only TO be performed by barbarians in the dark
ages.
The Saxon Princess Margaret, wife of the
Archduke Charles, was laid upon a block and
chopped in pieces, in order to send different
parts of the body to various parts of the coun-
try. The chOpplRg up process took place IN the
chapel of the castle, in the presence OF the
dead womans husband Extended upon the
red draped block lay the naked, white corpse,
surrounded by priests chanting in Latin,
youths swinging censers, and a number of
nell armed with choppers, saws and other in
struments. First, the heart was cut out of
the body, inclosed in golden case, and placed
In an urn. 1t was then sent to Rome to be con-
secrated by the Pope, after which it was sent
to the Loretto chapel, and thence returned TO
Vienna. But il was not to rest here. Ten cit
les claimed the honor of being Homer's birth
place, and six Austrian Bishoprics claimed the
privilege of possessing all, or a part, of tho
ssiuted Margaret's body. The Bishop of Prague
would be content with the arms, the Bishop of
Salzburg wished to obtain the head and shOuI-
ders while the Bishop of Lentz anxiously de-
sired to possess the two middle fingers The
Vienna consistory was obliged to decide be-
tween the claimants, and the heart was at length
forwarded to the common council of Inspruck,
in Tyrol, accompanied by two autograph letters
of the Archduke Charles, one of which was di-
rected to the Chief of the Jesuits, in which the
hope was expressed that "Tyrol, the always
faithful, would "for all time cherish the men, |
ory of the Archduchess, who was saint upon
earth.'
'Had the heart alone been separated from the |
body, the chOpping-up process would soon have
been finished but the church demanded more |
Hence the Archduke Charles directed the cut
ting open of his wife's abdomen, which was
done. The intestines were taken out, placed in
copper, silver and golden capsules, and sent |
with an autograph letter to the Cathedral of St. |
Stephen, where the said intestines were first |
exhibited upon the altar and then buried; fin |
gers were severed from the body, and sent with |
another autograph letter to Dresden. All that |
remained of the Archduchess was then wrapped |
in red velvet and laid in state on a catafalque
and ultimately the mutilated corpse was placed |
in coffin and deposited in the imperial tomb"

Master HENRY CLAY.


A Washington despatch of the 9Th says
The revenue for the last quarter is 100000
less than during the corresponding period last
year.
The imports for the last year have fallen
more than 500, 100000 below Secretary Cobbs s
estimates.
1t is rumored that several of the Anti Lecomp-
ton Democrats, just elected, are ready to give in
their adhesion to the Administration on all other
issues, in order TO conciliate the South for the
advancement of the interests of Douglas. Ar
rangements have been completed for uniting the
Richmond South and Washington States to form
a new Douglas Organ.

permanent steam sugar works

TERRIFIC ExPLosIoN.-The boiler of steam
sawmin at Industriana, Minnesota, exploded on
the Sd inst, with tremendous force. The mill
was blown to fragments, and although II men
were employed in it, strange to say no one was
killed. Several had limbs broken and were
otherwise seriously injured. One of the boilers,
80 feet long, weighing $500 pounds, was blown
over quarter of mile through theiair, passing
over two dwelling houses in its fight. Another
boiler of the same length was driven half It's
length into an adjacent bank. Of the boiler
shot quarter of mile the News says:
Its course was up hill and it is thought by
those who saw it to have risen 800 feet into
the air. 1t was fred like sky rocket, propell-
ed by the steam escaping from behind, and
spectators of this novel artillery, declare that
surrounded by steam fire, smoke, and water, it
resembled the comet lately visible in our West
ern sky

corn crop of the West is safe. One of the larg-

The Western Farmers Almanac for 1859,
contains letter from the Sage of Ashland to
one of his namesakes, which has never before
been published, and is so characteristic of that
great man that we take pleasure in transferring
it to our columns
ASHLAND, 9TH july ls45.
My Dear Little Namesake Your parents
have done NE the honor to give my name to
you. On that account, and at the request of
your good mother address this note, which
she wishes to preserve for your perusal when,
by the lapse OF time, you shall have attained an
age that will enable you to comprehend and ap
preciate its friendly purport
Your parents entertain fond hopes of You, and
you ought TO strive not to disappoint them
They wish you to be good, respected, eminent.
You can realize their most sanguine hopes, if
you firmly resolve to do so, by judiciOus en-
ployment of your time and your faculties. Shun
bad company, and all dissipation-its inevila-
bic consequence. Study diligently and Perse-
veringly. You viii be surprised at the ease
with which you will master branches of knowl-
edge which, at first view, will frighten you
Make honor, probity, truth and principle, your
inyasiablc guide. Be oOedient, and always af-
fectionately respectful to your parents. Assid-
uously cultivate virtue and religion, the surest
guaranty of happiness, both here and hereafter
In your intercourse with your fellow beings be
firm, but at the same time bland, courteous and
obliging. Recognize at all times the paramount
right of your country to your most devoted ser
vices whether she treats you i'll or well, and
never let selfish views or interests predominant
over the duties of patriotism.
By regulating yourself according to these
rules you may become respected and great, and
an ornament to your country, and blessing to
your parents That such may be your destiny
is the sincere wish of their and your friend,
