GOLD IN OHIO.

gold has been discovered in the various counties
Of Ohio, but none as yet in sufficient quantities to
pay for the working. The precious metal does ex

recognition to the breeze and humming a vernal
melody with its myriad graceful leaves, is a gold
mine-ricber, far richer than ninety-nine one
hundredths of adventures find in the mountain
canons Of a distant land. Every tree in yondeI

sky, and sturdy trunks weathering each blast thai

THE HOG LAW IN OHIO.

According to the law of the State of Ohio. every
man who lots his hogs run in the public highway,
is obliged to either put rings in their noses, or 9TH
erwise disable them, so as to make il impossible
for them to root. Now, how many of the inhabi-
tants of the State, do you suppose. live in accord
ance with this law +? According to what l have
seen, l should judge about the fftieth part. In
order to give you some idea of how much this law
affects the people in this part of the State, l will
tell you what | have seen. In travelling twenty-five
miles, through the counties Of Holmes and Coshoc-
ton, / counted one hundred and fifty hogs with
noses neither cut nor rung; making On average of
six hogs to the mile. If these six hogs 20 to
work, in one month they could root up every inch
of grass ground in the mile which. by destroying
the sod, allows weeds to grow in the place of
grass, thereby supply ing the adjoining felds
with weeds, requiring more labor to keep them
out, than 1t would take TO ring the hogs half o dog
en- lines; and what is more, in wet weather it is
almost impossible for a footman to find a clean
place to walk. What lie the use of having a law,
if it is not ~obeyed? If a man should steal five dol
lars or 30 from another, he would be immediately
arrested. and punished in some way or other. Blu:
if his hogs get into his neighbours field, and do
five dollars damage TO his meadow or grain, they
are probably logged out, come cursing and swear
ing done, the fence fixed, and nothing more done
or said about it. l should like to know what diff.
erence it makes, whether he steals or lets his hogs
stealf Two men can ring at least fifteen hogs in
one hour, and very few farmers keep more thar
fifteen or twenty. So one hour's work might save
one or two days labor; for fifteen hogs could dc
more damage in one hour, in q corn6eld, than ont
mai could restore in one day. There is hardly q
person in the country who is not troubled more o,
less by hogs getting into their fields or gardens
and destroying vegetables, grain or grass, ant
their own hogs at that. II they would only tax,
a few moments time to put rings in their noses
then if they did get into the fields they could no
do much damage. Why will not the farmers SO,
what is to their benefit and practice iti Wa,
was the law made, if it was not thought to be
benefit to the community? How many laws hay,
. we in Ohio Of which no more notice is taken thai
the hog aw | know Of three or four. One
and the most important one, too--is the liquo

PRAIRIE FIRE AND RUM FIRE,
BY JOHN %PIERPoNT.

The prairie Ere at midnight hour
The traveller hears IL rearing by
A form Of terror and Of power SOL, q
That walks the earth and ticks the sky.
The wild deer on his grassy bod,
Wakes from his dream Of breaking day,
Listens and lifts his autlered head,
Sunffs the hot blast and bounds away.
Where that destroying angel goes,
Borne on the wing of Autumn's wind,
lie leaves no grass-no prairie rose,
But all is scorched and black behind.
But when Spring comes, a 1owery belt
Across the prairie's bosom thrown,
Shows US that where his foot was felt,
The angel dropped a jeweled zone.
But there's q FIRE along whose track
Spring never %scatters flowers in bloom !;
No summer follows-nll is black
AS midnight in o hopeless tomb.
Alike upon the low and high
Falls this strange FIRE; 1t feeds aud fades
On beauty's cheek-in wisdom's eye,
And melts down mani BOD in its blaze.
And Youth and Age-its power is such
Blossom and fruit alike are burned
And every virtue by its touch
Is shriveled and to ashes turned.

By love and law, with spring and well,
With stream and fountain, flood and shower
In mercy quench this fire Of He'll

HI TWO VILLAGES.

Over the river on the hill,
Lieth a village white and still
All around it the forest trees
SILVER and whisper in the breeze;
Over it sailing shadows go
Of soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses. low and sweet,
Grow in the middle of every street.
Over the river, under the hill,
Another village lieth still
There l see in the cloudy night
Twinkling stars of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door,
Mists that curl on the river shore;
And in the roads no grasses grow,
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill,
Never is sound of smithy or mill;
The houses are matched with grass and flowers
Never a clock to tell the hours;
The marble doors are always shut,
You cannot enter in hall or hut;
All the village lie asleep; T"~
Never q grain to SOW or reap,
Never in dreams to moan or sigh,
Silent, and idle, and low they lie.

A QUEER TRANsACTIoN.-We learn
that on Saturday evening last, citi-
zen Of Phillipsburg, for reasons best
known to himself, disposed Of his wife,
four children, and his household and
kitchen furniture, for the valuable con-
sideration Of so cents cash, and a
second hand black cloth coat. The
purchaser of this valuable personal
estate, was a gentleman of some TWEEN
ty summers, who.is a teamster by pro-
fession. Whether the wife was con-
suited in the arrangement is not stated
but it is generally believed that the
transfer was acceptable to her. The
funniest part of the story is, that the
husband, after giving the bill late in the
evening of Saturday, craved nights
lodging from the new PROPRIETOR of the
goods and chattels, and was accomo-
dated with portion of the bed Of two
of the eldest children, where he snooz-
ed away quite comfortably until morn
ing, when he left the premises in
perfect good humor.-Easton Pa.)

Arrival OF w m. Smith Os8Plen.

The steamship Prince Albert, of the Gal
way line, arriv ed yesterday, bringing to our
shores Vim. Smith O'Brien, the Irish patriot,
who was recently pardOned by the British
Government, and allowed to return from
Van Dismen's Land to his native country.
As soon as tho steamer reached her anchor
age off Castle Garden. a host Of friends
swarned aboard, Mr. T. F. Meagher fore
most among them. The meeting between
Meagher and OBrien was extremely cordial.
and for some minutes, the friends we're a.
lowed to hold private communion. Mr..
OBrien lie a tall. well built man, Of pleasant
and prepOssessing cOuntenance, and rather
reserved and diffident in his manner.
Mr.. O'Brien was soon overwhelmed with
friendly greeting by host of people who
poured themselves upon the decks of the
Prince Albert from the little steam tug DR..
Kane, while Capt. Mahon's company fired
salute Of 100 guns from the Battery.
Mr.. O'Conner made brief speech Of wei
come, to which Mr. O'Brien replied, to the
effect that the Committee was quite right in
supposing that he did not come to the Uni
ted States with view to call forth any de-
menstration by the way of parade which
might be made to himself At the same
time. it was agreeable for him TO receive in
an informal manner, rs stated by the ad
dress. those gentlemen who wished to make
his acquaintance. lie wished it to be dis
tinctlv understood he lid not come to New
York for any political purpose or to make
any political manifestation. During the
greater part of his life. he had wished to
study the institutions of this country, with
out being biased by the opinions of travel
ers, particularly as many of them we're
written in the gall of prejudice. He there.
fore came to study the institutions of the
only country in modern times which owned
n republic, rather than u monarchy, on q
large scale. He had also come to see how
the millions OF his countrymen who, under
adverse circumstances, had made this place
their home, were situated No doubt he
would see many of them even in the far
West, and he would go home and tell how
he had seen them, and how he had been
received
Mr.. O'Brien and his friends then went
ashore where he was welcomed most enthu.
siastically by an immense crowd, and enter
ed his carriage, while the band played st.
Patrick's Day. Amid the cheers of the as
semblage, he then drove off to the st. Mich.

Our Republican contemporary. in its
issue of yesterday, attempts to be
facetious over the notice of the life
and public services Of Gen. George
Wallace Jones, which we published on
the occasion of the expiration of his
term of office as T.. s. Senator from
this State.
The article was written in no spirit
OF "pnffery" as the Gazette intimates,
nor with any desire of securing any
benelt to ourselves from its publica-
ton, ont was printed as a matter Of
lustice--as a mcrited tribute to the
distinguished services of the retiring
Senator and to show that we at least
are sensible of the obligation under
which he has placed the people Of the
State by his unremitting labors while
in the Senate.
AS we before asserted, he has per-
formed his duties to the entire satisfac-
ton of his own party, and gained the
respect of the opposition-even the
Gazette, bitter as it tried to be yester-
day, was wholly unable to state one
fact derogatory to his character, or to
mention one single instance in which
ne forgot his duty to the State, or was
faithless to his trust. All men of all
parties--however much they have diff
fered with him upon political ques-
tions--haye always accorded to him
an honesty of purpose, and desire
faithfully to perform what he consider
ed his duty, and no article which the
Gazette can publish will detract a title
from the high reputation which be
has gained among those who are &C.
quainted with his personal course in
the Senate.
We piil-as the Gazette requests
take occasion at an early day, to "in.
stitute comparison between Jones
and Grimes"

that matrimony was contracted so

there must have been courtship in her

The Accident to the Priucoss


The telegraph reports published in
our issue of yesterday, contained an
account of another of those terrible
steamboat catastrophes which have be-
come so common on the Mississippi
River-or the lower part of it. The
steamboat Princess, reported to be one
of the finest passenger boats upon any
Of the rivers in the world, exploded
her boiler and was burned to the wat
er's edge near Baton Rouge, destroy
ing the lives Of some two hundred per-
sons.
AS in nearly every instance of the
kind, the whole disaster is attributed
to the murderous custom of racing
against time-two hundred valuable
lives were risked by the captain mere
ly that his boat might gain a reputa-
ton for speed. The engineer swore
that he would make New Orleans by
certain hour or elbow her up," and
being detained by heavy fog, true to
his promise, he did "blow her I'M"
sacrificing two hun bred lives, carrying
oesolation into two hundred families,
making two hundred widows and or
phsns and childless parents.

stringent measures-were adopted To

captains and engineers who hold hu.
man life SO cheaply when weighed
against the reputation of their boats.
We have repeatedly been called up-

vision against such Academia and the

JuD!uAL DIGNrrY.-A queer judicial pro-
ceeding has lately come off in Florida.
Judge Pearson, one of the Associate Justices
Of the Supreme Court Of Florida. was absent
at late session of the Court in Tallahassee,
and We understand that Chief Justice Bait
zell issued a writ and placed it in the hands
of the Sheriff, directing him to proceed to
the residence of Justice Pearson, arrest him
and bring him before the Chief justice. The
Sheriff obeyed instructions-wentt to Judge
Pearson, told him his business, whereupon
Judge Pearson very quietly to'' him he
could order him to prison for con empt, but
would not do % under the circumstances,
and requested him to tell Chief Justice
Baltzell he would come to Tallahassee at his
convenience. We should be glad to hear
more Of this novel proceeding.-Macon TEL
