MYSTERIOUS AFFAtR.-A gentleman from the
neghhorhood of New Albany in this county,
has given us the particulars Of a mysterious
affair, about which much excitement prevails in
that neigborhood. 1t seems that Mr. Conk-
lin, living near Dayton, brought his wife to
New Albany in dying condition, and about
three days ago she. died at the residence Oi
Uonklins father, A little girl some twelve
years of age, daughter or step daughter Of tho
deceased, tells the following story: There was
living in the family Of Conklin, Ia Dayton, a
young woman in the capacity Of domestic, be.
tween whom and her husband, Mrs. o discovs
cred an improper intimacy, and loudly com.
planned against it, and that shortly afterwards
the young woman made a loaf Of bread which
Mrs partoOk Of, and was immediately taken
violently ILL., The woman took the remainder
Of the bread and buried 1t in a hill near the
house. Instead of calling physician, Oonk
lin conveyed his wife, in her sick condition, to
his fathers near New Albany, where she died
as before stated. The little girl who reveals
the above tale, has been rigidly examined and
closely crossSquestloned, but varies not hair
from her original statement.
Upon arriving at his fathers the husband im.
mediately returned 10 Dayton, or, at least left
New Albany, and when our informant left the
latter place, physicians were about TO enter
upon post mortem examination of the deceased
for the detection Of poison in her stomach
The whole affair has a very curious aspect, and
further developments may be expected soon.-
Columbus Journal
There must be some mistake about this affair
There is but two families 10 or near Dayton by
the name Of Conklin, neither Of which have
any relations al or near New Albany, Ind. mol
have either Of them been there lately, If ever
Both have good wives and they are living hap
PLY together, aud they have no fears of any
such domestic trouble as the above refers too
There must be some mistake about the name Of
the man or place Of the above tragedy.

city, yesterday, at IL o'clock, with pretty
full attendance Of officers and representatives
Among the officers present were Grand Master
Wheeler and Grand Secretary Glenn, of Column
bus; Deputy Grand Master True, and Grand
Marshal Rees, of Cincinnati Grand Treasurer
Slater, of Columbus; Grand Warden Babcock,
of Cleveland.
Reports were received from the Grand
Officers and the usual Committees were ap-
pointed and set to "hard work." and to-day
they have been making reports and doing the
usual routine work-such as passing upon
pending amendments to constitution and
laws, &c.
decided by ballot, after sharp contest with
places for the honors. Eleven new Lodges
were chartered, of which one is for Cincinnati
and one for Columbia or Pendeton.
The following gentlemen were declared
officers of the Grand Lodge for the coming
years
G. NJ, G. F. Marshall, of Cleveland.
D. G. M, Geo. NJ. Young, of Dayton.
G.. W., Joseph Newbury, of Canal Dover.

occupation from 1896 to 1Sl4-continued

British statesmen in the House of Lords
predicate their opinion that Italy is now
capable to sustain an Independent nation
ality, upon the idea that the people of that
country have worn out that seditious and
insurrectionary spirit which, for 80 many
ages, rendered oil attempts to establish
such nationality abortive The evidence
upon this point is not very conclusive:
indeed it rests rather more in conjectures
which run counter to, than in proof that
comes from, the facts of the case. The
last general revolt occurred, it is true, ten
years ago; but this is no long allowance
of time for a national regeneration and
Italy is still-if accounts are to be cred
tied the home of outbreak and assassi-
nation, of political passions and fanati-
cisms rather than of political truths or
ideas. Some have found comfortable as
surance in the case of Sardinia, which is
as we phrase it-now in the enjoyment
of the blessings of free constitution and
a representative government; but this is
not to be taken without grains of allow
ance. The prisons Of Sardinia are sadly
prone to become full of persons charged
with political offenses-a phenomena over
which we may pause and reflect, before
becoming too enthusiastic in respect to
the freedom enjoyed in the country where
it occurs.
The people Of Italy are Heterogeneous
people "a thing inimical to selfgovern-
ment and to nationality. They are peo
pie whose social extremes are far apart
a thing greatly in the way, in the con
struction of new, and especially of {
popular polity. They are people whose
theoretical notions are in advance of theil
practical capacity-a thing than which
nothing can be more ominous to stability
Il is one thing to be ardently in favor o.
civil liberty, another and very different
thing to be able to achieve and maintain
popular form of government Theii
problem is difficult one. If left entirely
free from outside influences they would
doubtless work it out but entire freedom
is not to be expected in the present con
dition of European ideas and policy; and
if they are to be interfered with at all, i
is probable that such government a
they now have is as good as any they will
be likely to secure.

OHIO DEVELOPING HER. MINERAL REsoUR-
NEWARK, May 1859.--As our American
coalfelds are the largest in the world, so also
our country is most abundant in the material
for coal oils. And although as yet we have
found nothing equal to the "Boghead" of
Scotland, yet the great abundance of Camel
coal in our Western States is such, that we
have the material for making this article for
centuries to come: at least until the inventive
genius of man, in the order of Divine progress
shall bring forward something still better and
cheaper.
Camel coal is the only coal adapted to the
production of good oil and is found skirt
ing the western margin of the great Allegheny,
or more properly Ohio coal measure, from
Northern Pennsylvania to Alabama. In this
State it has been traced from Trumbull through
Portage, Summit, Holmes, Coshocton, Musking-
um, Licking, Perry, Hooking, Vinton and
Jackson counties, with occasional beds in JEFF
fcrson, Harrison, Tuscarawas and Guernsey
counties These beds vary in thickness from
few inches to four, six and even eight feet.
They also vary in the quantity of their product
from 10 to so gallons per ton, as also in the
quality of the oil.
Coal that will yield from 40 to 60 gallons per
ton with large proportion of light oil is de-
sirable, because it can be worked very pro6ta-
bly,. Yet there is much coal worked that yields
less than 80 and even 20 gallons por ton. From
my own Investigations 1 have found the richest
cannel coal in Licking, Muskingum and Co.'S
hocton counties.
Of our own manufactures coal oil is now TAX
ing the lead. The first works established here
is the Great Western, with a nominal capital
of about 100000, fully one-fifth of which is
now employed. 1t commenced making oil in
the fall of '57 and has been very successful.
The unprecedented demand for this oil has
stimulated other parties to invest in this busi-
ness, and this company is now extending its
works by erecting a new establishment at Flint
Ridge, where it possesses very rich and large
deposit of COAL The following table will ex-
hibit the extent of the business at this place.

E@- Mr.. Durham is very unfortunate in
the selection of his appointments, to address
the people on his claims to the Governor
ship. He seems to have preferred the pri-
mary meetings Of the Democracy in which
to express himself, which we regard as very
unwise. In our county, he was to speak at
the Bahytown meeting, and had the mortif-
cation of witnessing a family jar At
Laporte, the other day, he got into precisely
the same kind of a difficulty regular
split occurred between the adherents of Mr.
Buchanan-who left the hall in disgust
and Mr.. Douglas friends, who remained, and
were addressed by the Honorable gentleman.
1t will be hard work to so steer his course

good will of both, and we would suggest,
that hereafter, be had better stear clear of
all conventions, except that of January
