Notice Gratuitous.

There Is man, calling himself rev.
{. 5. burnett, who halls from s9l Broad
way, New York, for whom we advertised
for six months; he promising, upon the
honor Of Christian gentleman to pay
us. We have written to him three times,
and until the last he has answered
promptly, aud with fair promises, but
without sending us our pay. If he has
put on the "liVery Of Heaven to serve the
devil in" he is an adrOit hypocrite, and
plays his part well. His style and
courteous manner Of writing is well
calculated to deceive. We have got our
eye teeth tOlerably well cut by the New
York thieves, and we give them this
public notice, that, we will, in the future,
pay no attention to their propositions,
unless they are accompanied by the cash.
From the specimen VIC have had we are
inclined 10 think that, the Casket of Dia-
ntonds, published by Nelson, Hicks & Co.,
No. 73 Nassau street, furnishes another
beautiful specimen Of New York swind-
lers. Every western publisher, should
make it matter Of conscience to publicly
expose this horde of swindlers. The
public good requires it.

Correspondence of the True American.
LAGRANGE, }
April 8. 1853.

Mr.. EDIToR--Local correspondence, il
spicy, is greatly relished by newspaper
readers. But l promise only plain
ststement Of facts in this hasty letter,
which the sedate portion of your readers,
may note with some Qualification.
+" Well, what about Lagrange I"
answer. "nOthing startling"
Most of your readers know that it is a
scattered village on the river and railroad,
opposite the venerable little city Of Wells
burg, Va. 1t is station where consid-
cradle trade and travel takes the railroad,
but it is not enlarging its population and
Improvements. One moneyed man had
concluded recently to locate his business
here, but upon investigation, found more
liquor drinking than praying-more dram
shops than family altars for worship, and
sternly refused to come, because he
deemed such place unfit for house for
his family. Thus a few irresponsible
doggery keepers, who live only for SELF
10 the reckless disregard of others, curse
any place, by running the morals, depre-
ciatiDg property and keeping enterprsing
men away. There are many good citizens
here, but the liquor traffic is doing the
reputation and prosperity of the place,
incredible harm. More than one of these
dealers in the poison, are liable every
day to heavy punishment, because they
are daily violating the law. Can they be
good citizens! Yet some good people
will look on while these cruel men, deal
out to boys, and miserable drunkards. and
will oppose the law taking its legitimate
course. We anticipate better state of
morals for our village.
We have Meth. Prot. meeting house,
in which, Rev. d. S. YELLING has been
preaching accePtibly for some time, with
a small society kept in being chiefly by
the attention Of Rev. II. Cox. For the
last week, Revs BRINDLEY and WELLINe
have been holding protracted meeting
with some success. With good Sabbath
School and regular meeting for religious
worship, we hope for better days. |
Lagrange is a good place for the shoe,
timing and soagon making business.
and no better opening for machine build
ing can be found in the country or in
eastern Ohio. OBSERVER.

SHOCKING AccIDENT.-On Friday last,
as the 3 o'clock coal train on the S.&I.R.
R., was crossing Market street. small
boy, son Of Mr.. GEORGE STENDLE, 6 or
7 years Of age, clambered upon coal car,
and was swinging by his hands on the
side of the car, which was moving at a
speed Of four or Eve miles per hour, when
he came in contact with a pile of
coal lying on the platform, precipitating
him Immediately under the truck wheels,
which severed his head from his body,
and otherwise mangling him in a most
shocking manner. No blame is attached
to any person, as it is said that Mr.. But.
Ter, the gentleman having charge of the
coal platform warned him 10 get off, and
also hailed the engineer but it was too late.
Coroner Bodles held an inquest upon the.
body, and returned verdict in accord.
ance with the above facts.

TOWNSEND alias M'HENRY who has
been on trial in Canada for murder has
been acquitted. This is not unexpected,
as the swearing on each side was so pos
tive that il is no wonder the Jury were
doubtful about sentencing man to death
under such peculiar circumstances. On
the rendition of the verdict, he was i'm
mediately arrested for the murder of
Nellis at Cuyahoga. There can be but
little doubt that he is Townsend the noto.
rious murderer, but his friends seem
determined to swear him out. His case
is the most peculiar Of any on record.
EEWe happened to be in Cleveland
in May last, when this notorious man,
was undergoing preliminary examination
hence We have felt a special interest
in tracing up his case to its final result.
That he is guilty culprit, and ought to
be punished, we have no doubt.

SUPPORTING HOME PApERs.-"Recol.
lect, says the Cleveland Herald ifa home
paper is to be supported, home influence
must do it. Every dollar sent 10 Eastern
papers is at the expense of the local pa,
pers. A county acquires prominence
through its paper more than in any other
way, and to every one who has county
interests at stake, his home paper is a
necessity. Never will such man take
a paper printed away from home until he
is able to take second paper. His first
paper will be his home sheet, and he
will so identify his own interests with
that Of his county paper, as to consider
his subscription as much a matter of year
ly duty as the payment Of his taxes.

TRIAL SERMoN.-On last Monday even.
ing, we had the pleasure Of listening to a
very interesting discourse, delivered by
our young friend, GEORGE W. BURNS. in
ting 9th Street M. P. Church. The
congregation was large, and appeared to
be deeply interested in the discourse.
The quarterly conference was convened
after The close of the sermon, and by a
unanimous vote granted him license 10
preach the Gospel in the Methodist Prot
testant Church.
We regard brother Burns as a young
man of promise, and if faithful to the
cause Of his Master will become an eff
cent minister in the Church of Christ
Great pains have been taken by his
!ather--tbe Rev. John Burns-in giving
him thorough Education, and he starts
off in the ministry, with literary attain
mentS equaled by bu! few young men OF
his age. The kindest wishes of his
