county, rendered his resignation, BAT the
Senate declined to accept it. The rea-
son for his resigning is supposed to be his
disappointment in not being able tosde-
feat the bil!for the removal of the seat
ofjustice in his county.
On yesterday the Senate passed the
following bills: to amend section a74 Of
the. civil code; to provide for the enlarge
ment the Ohio Penitentiary; to amend
the act for the Organization of cities and
incorporated villages; to amend section
60 of the act for the organization of cit
les and incorporated villages; besides
sundry and divers local bills.
A communication was received from
the Governor enclosing resolutions of the
respective Legislature of Vermont, New
Hampshire, and Massachusetts, relative
to the Dred Scott decision.
In the House the following bills WIRE
passed: To extend the privileges Of
gas companies; to limit the operation OF
the act to repeal the ter per cent law; to
amend the act for the organization of cit
les and incorporated villages concerning
places of burial; supplementary to the civil
code; to amend section 81 of the Jus.
tees act.
A resolution was adopted directing the
county treasurers and canal collectors OF
the State to receive the bills of the Ca.
nal Bank of Cleveland and Seneca coun-
ty at par for State dues.
The House indefinitely postponed Mr..
Schlech's Senate bill couferring certain
powers on, and prescribing certain duties
of the Board of Public Works.
The House also passed Mr.. Meier
ren's bill repeating the law authorizing
judges of the court of common pleas to
fx the times Of holding court in the sew
eral counties.
The war in regard to the public works
appropriations is waxing hot. The
clique was successful in the Senate q:
was expected. Mr.. Morrow voted uni
formly against their schemes. They will
probably be cat down materi ly in the
House.

Getting Aboard in a Hurry.

A laughable incident occurred yester-
day morning, at the Lincoln squire station
of the Worcester and Nashua Railroad.
A traveller, bouhd to Burlington, ver-
mont, where he had business of impor-
tance to transact, had rested over night,
with his wife, at the Nashua Hotel, i'm
mediately opposite the station, in order
to be sure to hit the morning train, which
leaves at an early hour.
Yesterday morning the traveller was
sleepy. His lady had arisen, awakened
him, dressed herself and gone down to
breakfast, expecting her lord to follow
her without delay. While eating hastily
and scolding mentally in view of the hus-
bands tardiness, she heard the ringing
of the bsll. Rushing frantically up stairs,
her horror may be imagined when on O.
pcning the bedroom door. snore from
the conjugal sluggard salu.ed her ear
A slight scream and rough shake a.
woke him. He heard the belll Pulling
on his boots. he hastily gathered in his
arms the rest of his attire and pushing
the lady before him down stairs, put fol-
the train at two-forty gait, dressed only
in boots aud flannel shirtl The twain
reached the train. Throwing all but
his shirt upon the platform, the lady hur.
riedly sought to obtain tickets OF the
Office, while The husband struggled to in
due himself with his No. / garment -
While it was yet auttering over his head
the bell again rang maliciously and of
started the train. The unfortunate en-
tered the car, his flesh having pimpled
goose-like appearance, while his blushine
lady, spreading out her crinoline like th,
sacred vail of charity, converted herself
into q screen, that his nakedness nigh
be hidden from his fellow travellers.
The only other female passenger, put
ting her hand over her eyes, with the fin
gers spread wide apart, declared, befor
she turned her head in another direc tiou
that was shockingl And SO, we suppos

Nor his madness that kindled the brand;
He raised not his arm, he defed not his foes,
While . leaf OF the olive remained,

Like . long baited lion unclaimed.
He struck with firm courage the blow of the

But sighed DER tho carnage that spread;
He indignantly spurned the yoke of the slave,
Bot wept for the thousands that bled.
Though he threw back the fetters, and headed

Yet he prayed for the moment when freedom

a=
CANADA.-No estimate can yet be formed Of
the probable character of the next harvest
But although the time has not come whenthis
will be possible, note may be taken of present
progress. The growingwheat crop has escaped
two dangers, winter killing and the heaving of
the soil, with . wonderfully small amount of
damage. To the first of these dangers, it was
exposed in an uncommon degree, during the
late winter. The covering of snow was scanty
and irregular. Sometimes there was snow
and sometimes there was none. The latter
state of things often existed, subjecting the
crop to the dangers Of winter killing. The dan
ger has now passed, and from all the informa-
nation we can obtain on the subject, the crop
has passed it almost uninjured; certainly with
much less injury that, in such winter as that
which has just passed, there was much reason
to fear would take place.
In this Monroe County, ohio,) the wheat
prospects are rather discouraging. We have
seen some fields that we believe will not be
worth cutting, though the present fine weather
should it continue few weeks-will, with
out doubt, make vast improvement in its
appearance. We have seen but few fields that
can be called good. ,oa- oi ---1
