eYIt is said that every day turns up some
thing new, and last Thursday turned up in our
| county, Sangster, the celebrated Guta Percha
Anti-corosive Steel Pen man, who, in selling hi.
pens, also sells the buyer. He visited all the
villages and principal towns of any note ia our
county, in every one of which he found Gus
toner, or, as he terms it, established an agency.
good story is told on couple of our friends,
Merchants in adjoining villages, who had dip
ped into the pens to the amount of SIS each.-
When they discovered the cheat they resolved
upon pursuit. Waiting until about the hour of
midnight, they started towards Millersburg at
lightning speed. Indignant at the frauds prac-
tised upon them they thought of nothing but re-
venge. On they sped over hill and dale. Now
the gray leads the race, then the bay leaves his
companion in the rear. The riders were COM
muning with their own thoughts -neithers spoke.
nor looked to right or left. An old topper on his
way home from the village they had just left,
where he had been having torch-light process
sion down his throat, of rot-gut whiskey, ex-
claimed when they passed him, ego it old (hic)
bob tail, I'll bet (hic) on the gray. Doyou (hic)
take the bet?" But if seen, he YVES not needed
by the riders. On they sped. Up hill and
down their speed was the same. What cared
they for the drunkards proffer to bet or the con-
fusion which they created among the chanti-
cleers of the barn-yard. Steel pens was all they
saw before them. and revenge was all they ca
red for. One old Dutch farmer aroused from his
sleep, exclaimed '.mine horse is STEAL by der
deifel!' Occasionally dog would start in pur-
suit, but vain was the chase. Side by side the
noble animals sped along. Nor whip or spur
was necessary, seeming to appreciate the impor-
tance of their riders mission. they tagged not
nor showed disposition to halt Not till Mil
lersburg. the goal of their journey was reached,
did they slacken their speed.
Arrived at Millersburg they soon found their
man. He was asked to discorge, but he said
he'd rather not. He was coaxed and threatened
without effect. He said his education had been
an expensive one and he did not like to sell his
knowledge so cbeapiy. The law was appealed
to, but its mantle covered him. So our friends
discovered that their chase was n bootless one.
that they had better return home and sell their
pens for what they could get for them and pro-
fit by the lesson which they had bought so dear
ly. Long may they wave.

The Presidents party-the Pennsylvs-
mia Administration members-signed it
and then appealed to the Republicans to
sign it also-some of the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans who favor a modification of the
tariff for the benefit of the iron interest in
their State, signed it. The President en-
courages his Pennsylvania friends in the
opposition to the Hunter caucus, and es-
pecially to the policy attempted to be in
augurated therein. The Hunter demon
stration places Mr.. Cobb in doubtful po-
sition.

Woman Versus Whisky.

Some week or more ago, man named
Hendricks died near Collamer, in the
township of East Cleveland, of delirum
tremens. Another individual, whose name
we have not learned, died in Euclid town
ship few days previously, from having
lain out during all the night of the 2lst
ult., and being terribly frozen. This latter
person left wife and seven children.
These unhappy events seem to have
wrought up the feelings of certain LADIES
in the township of East Cleveland, who,
on Saturday last, made an attack upon the
person of one William P. Dart, and also
upon his house, known as the Collamer
House, and located in the village of that
name. Mr.. Dart strenuously demonstrated
against such demonstrations, but his logic
does not seem to have been effective, since
one of the ladies thrust him roughly aside
and led the rest into the cellar, where, with
an axe, they stove in the heads of one bar
rel of whisky. one barrel of beer, and one
barrel of ale; one keg of brandy, one keg
of gin, one keg of ginger wine, and one
of cherry whisky-to say nothing of di-
vers jugs and decanters Of similar liquors,
tumblers, &C., all of which, in his affida-
Wit, Mr.. Dart AYERS to have been against
the peace and dignity of the State, and
damaging to him in the sum of one
hundred or more dollars. So State
warrant was procured, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Wimple, Mrs. Elizabeth N. West, Mrs.
Mrs. Mary F. Hartupee, Mrs. Mary c.
Dutton, Catharine and Bessie Dutton,
Therese Cady, and Rebecca Koon, were
yesterday arrested and arraigned before
Justice Hessenmueler. The ladies waived
an examination, and respectively gave
bonds in the sum of one hundred dollars
to answer the charge of riot at the next
term of the Court of Common Pleas.
We are informed that dealing in spurious
liquors has been q trade unknown in Col
Ianler for many months past, until Dart
recently established himself there Cleve.

Horrible.

The N. Y. Post, in describing the fire
in Brooklyn, that destroyed the house o.
Mr.. Gill merchant of 1852 Broadway, and
in which fire Mrs. Gill and two children
were burned to death, says: The lower
part of the building was a confectionery
store, the dwelling of Mr.. Gill was on the
I'd and Sd floors.
Thomas Gill, brother of the former,
first discovered the fire, and awoke the
other members of the family, who slept on
the Sd floor. They all rushed to the stair
way, but found escape by that way impos-
sible, as the flames cut off their retreat, so
they could not descend even to the second
story. Mr.. Gill then got some blankets
and tied them together, which he threw
out Of the window and attempted to lower
himself to the ground, but before he reach
ed half the distance his hold failed, and he
fell to the ground, and received considera-
Bile injury. He was followed by Mr.. Graves,
with no better success; he fell to the
ground, and was also terribly injured. A
sister of the servant girl lowered herself by
means of a cord, from the back room; the
cord not being of sufficient length to reach
the ground, she hung suspended till her
nightcap caught fire, and she dropped to the
ground and broke one of her arms and one
thigh by the fall.
Soon after Mrs. Gill appeared at the win
dow and entreated those below to save her.
self and children. She could not be in
duced to take hold of the blankets that
still hung from the window, and which were
very unsafe, and gave way when fireman
gave them slight jerk. She was then
asked to throw out her bed and jump on
it, but she Immediately disappeared. As
soon as an entrance to the third story could
be got, several-firemen went into the room,
where they found Mrs. Gill lying dead, with
her arms clasping the two little children,
who were aged respectively fifteen months
and six years. The servant girl, Ann Ke-
gan, was very near them, and formed
shocking spectacle.

COshOctOn Sub. Rob-
berS.

The examination of Geo. Wilson, at
Coshocton, on the charge of being one of
the Sub-Treasury robbers, resulted in bis
being held to bail in $40, 1000 for trial. He
was also required to give bail in the sum
Of $1,000 in the Walhonding burglary
case. Failing to get bail in both CAGES he
was sent to Jail. 1t stated that the proof
against him as one of the Sub Treasury
robbers is conclusive. He was identified
by the Treasurer, and it was proven that
he was seen stealing the rope with which
the Treasurer was bound while the robbery
was committed. Wilson is also charged
with three other burglaries in Coshocton
county. If convicted on all the indict-
ments which will be found against him,
his sentences may amount to about sixty
years. He was arrested at Eaton, Preble
county.
Bell, the Columbus man charged with
tne Sub-Treasury robbery, was held to bail
In the sum of $4,000, for lack of which
he was again committed. Two brothers
OF Bell are under arrest for perjury. The
examination at Coshocton was largely at.
tended, and considerable excitement exist.

More Gold Discovery.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9.
The Sioux City Register announced. the
arrival of Maj. Culbertson direct from the
head waters of the Missouri. He reports
the discovery of gold diggings on the line
between Missouri aud the Columbia rivers
in the neighborhood of Sharp's Pass. =
The gold is an inferior quality, being
worth only sl4 TO SIS an ounce, but is
said TO exist in great abundance. Mr..
Culbertson brought down $4,000 of gold
in Jumps, the size of grain of corn and
says veins can be approached within .
comparatively short distance by steamboats,.
He saws the head waters of the above
named rivers are so near together that ke

Of the Rocky Mountains, and in half an
hour afterwards drank out Of the Colum-
bia on the Pacific slops.

SUPPOSED MURDERER ARRrsrED. :

SUPPOSED MURDERER ARRTsTED. -
About year and half ago a Young wo-
man was violated and then murdered in
Monroe county. Three men were tried for
the crime and acquitted. Rencently evil
dence has come out duplicating a young
man named Martin Troy, and he has been
arrested in Indiana and brought to Ohio
for trial. On the way Troy either became
insane or pretended to be, and his conduct
was so violent that he had to be bound
hand and foot in order to manage him.
The Columbus Statesman SAYS "although
quite young, he is the most desperate, and
altogether the hardest looking man We ever
bshald, and it is absolutely painful to see
him." e

Oregon Admitted.

The Bill for the admission of Oregon as
State passed the lower House of Con-
gress, on Saturday last by vote of ia
Yeas to 1o3 Nays.
The vote was not strictly partisan one.
The South Americans opposed the bill on
account of the privileges the Constitution
confers in the way of naturalization. In
dividual Republicans on the ground that
it refuses all redress of any sort to colored
persons even in the Courts. They are not
only refused the elective franchise, exclud-
ed from the witness stand, but are placed
utterly beyond all protection oflaw. 9th
ers on this ground, and because of the
terms of the English bill applied to Kan
sas, and not to Oregon. Kansas is requir-
ed to have population of $4,000. Such
is the rule laid down at the last session BY
the President and the Democratic party
touching the admission of Territories, to
be shown bya census taken under Congress
sional authority. Oregon, as demonstra-
ted by recent census, has but about one
half what the rule requires as indispensable.

Tuv KANSAS FkAuDs PRovxD.-We publish
on the outside of to-days paper, highly impor-
,ant letter signed by Ex-Gov. WALKER and Ex-
Secretary STANTON, of Kansas, relating to the
celebrated forged returns from the precinct of
Oxford. in the county Of johnson, Kansas terri
ofthis forged return by Messrs- walker.aad Stan
ton decided the political complexion Of the Ter
ritorial Legislature for Kansas for that year
1t will also be remembered that the Lecompton
papers most vehemently denounced these gen.
tlemen for their action against the fabricated re-
turns. and insisted that they were legal and gen.
uine. 1t now appears by the letter of Mr.. Bait
Jones. one of the Judges of the election at Ok
ford, whose name purported to authenticate the
returns. that he never subscribed them, nor au-
thorized any one 10 do SO for him. and conse-
quently that they are an admitted forgery, as
alledped at the time by Messrs. Walker d Stan
ton. II is therefore now a conceded fact that
the Oxford returns were forgery, and that they
were properly rejected by Messrs Walker and
Stanton. notwithstanding they were so violently
sssailed at the time for acting upon that which
was to them certainty. There is more impor-
tsnce attaches to this fact from the circumstance
thst these Oxford and other forgeries were in
corporated into the Lecompton Constitution.
and avowedly constituted part of the Legisla-
tive apportionment adopted by that instrument.
1t is clear then that the Lecompton Constitution
was based upon fraud and forgery, and also, as
stated by Messrs. Walker and Stanton, that the
President Cf the U. S., with full knowledge of
all the facts, urged upon Congress the sanction
Of this forgery.

@ Gen. William Walker, of fillibuster
memory, has been admitted as member
of the Catholic church. The ceremoney
took place in the cathedral at Mobile. =
The Mercury of that city notices the fact,
and adds: ave cannot give the details of
what occurred, but suffice it to say that
General Walker is now member of the
Catholic church, to whose fold he has been
led, we have no doubt, by overwhelming
conviction, as he was reared after the
straightest sect Presbyterian, and, we
have heard, prepared himself for the SER
vices of the pulpit in that denomination"
