The SECOND SAN PATcH DROWNED.
Shields, the man who was advertised
to make Sam Patch leap at the Falls
next Friday, was drowned yesterday at
the place he had selected for the fool
hardy undertaking. 1t was near the
point where the Blondin cable was
stretched that be had proposed jump
ing, and yesterday he went into the
water for the purpose of making an
examination Of the place before per-
forming the feat. While swimming be
was either taken with q cramp and
sank through helpnessness, or he was
drawn under by some neither current
or eddy OF the rapids. The latter
seems to be the supposition at the
Falls, but we should rather believe
that he was drowned from the former
cause, the GOODNESS Of the water at this
season rendering = swimmer extremely
liable to cramp, and it seeming to us
unlikely that there should be any
demonstrating current al the place
where Shields went under. The rea>
son, however, matters little !; it is suffi-
Gent that he sunk suddenly and was
not seen afterwards. His clothes we're
obtained by Mr.. Robinson, and taken
to the Franklin House. The body of
the unfortunate man will probably
never be recovered. or only through
accident.-B.Galo Express, l4th.

There are many-by far TOO many
democrats who make practice Of
staying away from the polls on cleo
ton days, excusing themselves on the
ground that there will be enough there
without them, or that they have bust
hess ct more Importance to attend to.
The first named excuse amounts to
nothing n. there cannot he too many
men together when engaged in SO glo-
rlons cause rs that Of voting the dem
ocratic ticket ana, ordinarily speak
ing. a citizen Of the United States and
especially members Of the democratic
party can not find anything Of more
Importance to attend to than being at
the polls on days OF election of officers.
To remain lukewarm in such cause
is political sin of the deepest dye,
and should ever be avoided. 1t not
only weakens the party vote, but too
frequently is the prime aud only cause
Of placing the opposition party in pow
er. More than this !; the state of in
difference in which too many demo-
Gratis are found on the day of election,
disheartens and d'scourages those who
do attend, and the result is perpetual
defeat. 1t is a high duty that every
American citizen. owes to himself and
to bis country to be present at all the
elections of officers and make known
his will concerning whom he will have
TO serve him, and manage his business
for him. Public officials are the ser.
wants Of the people, and the man who
expresses himself indifferent as TO
whom he shall have to attend to mats
tiers which concern him, and represent
him abroad or in our own Legislative
halls 10 unworthy OF honor attached to
the name OF every citizen of the United
States Of America. The peculiar style
Of our government renders it iucum-
bent upon oil to attend to this great
duty. 1t is a gift placed by the hand
OF Divine Providence, it is a sacred
privilege for which our gallant forefath-

SAVE THE VEGETABLE SEEDS. -
Many seeds are annually wasted from
not being gathered at the right time.
They are left till convenient season,
and then one "job" is made of it. In
this way, as they do not ripen at the
same time, the first matured and mos
valuable are lost, and many are taken
while yet green and worthless. The
garden should be visited every day,
from the first ripeuing, and the mature
heads collected, the stalks being sew
cred with sharp knife or shears
Sheets or newspapers may be spread
upon the floor of chamber or garrett,
and the different kinds laid separ ately
upon them. When the gathering is
completed, and the seeds have thor
oughly dried, rub them out, clean
them, and put them in bags of cloth or
paper. Each parcel should be distinct
~ labeled with the name and the wear
when gathered. Many vexatious mis-.
takes will thus be avoided next spring.
All seeds for future planting should be
kept as far as possible from heat,
moisture and light. Their vitality will
be impaired, if not destroyed, by care
lessness in this respect. Tin cases,
glass jars, or even tight wooden boxes,
are preferable to leaving them loose
in the "closet."

a young man who had long been at
tache1 to bis church, aud who WAS
about 10 leave for New Orleans, come
to bid his pastor farewell.
"And SO YOU are gong TO that de-

"fes, sir but ! don't expect to be

Of any kiud,' responded the young
man, with considerable earnestness.
well | am glad to see you SO con
fident. hope the Lord will guide
you. But do you know the temP;a.
tons which exist there!"
"No, not particularly"
"WeIl, do; you'll find wanton
women in the guise Of Paris, tempting
the very elect; and rare wines and ar
dent drinks; and you'll find gay CON-
pany, and night brawling, and gam
bling, and dissipation, aud running at
ter the lusts of the old man Adam"
Still, sir, l hope to combat these
successfully"
81 hope you will, my dear christian
brother" was the reply. 81 hope you
will. And let me give you this much
for your consolation in case yon should
fall from grace. The tempter is worse
than the sin, aud the greater the
temptation, the more merit there is in
resisting it. The man who goes to
Heaven by way Of New Orleans, is
svre to have twice as high place in
eternal glory as he who reaches Para
disc through the quiet portals of Con

A CLEAR CASE OF Coxsc,rxcr-
People generally regard railroad
company as legitimate object for
sw,ndIing, and feel the slightest degree
Of guilt if thew can, by no matter what
means, get free ride. A rare excep-
ton to this rule has just been expert
enced by Superintendent Nottingham,
Of the Cleveland u Erie Railroad. A
few days since, he received letter,
signed David c.. g. Field, enclosing a
one dollar bill, in which the writer
states that year ago last May, he
took passage at Geneva, Ohio, for Erie,
Pennsylvania, and being very short Of
funds, seated himself in second>clsss
car. As there we're no other passen.
gers in that car, the conductor did not
happen to discover the single traveller.
and he rode to Erie free. As he was
nearly strapped" having but little
over one dollar with which to travel
nve Or six hundred miles, Mr.. Field
regarded this oversight of the couduc.

CN- The Democratic cause in our
county is frightening every day. Since
our County ticket has been placed
in ihe field, we are informed
that many who have, heretofore,
been voting with the Republicans,
have resolved not to try it again, bit
to support the Democratic State and
County ticket. Only let the Demo

ion is theirs beyond a peradventure.

A YOKE OF OMEN Probably STOLEN.
Mr. A. Kennedy, living about four
miles from this city, on the Davenport
road, has yoke Of oxen in his keeping
which he supposes were stolen. They
were left at his house by verdant
young man, who stopped there at the
early hour Of five o'clock on Monday
morning last to inquire his way. He
told MIR. Kennedy that he had come
from out West" though he was then
travelling in a western direction, and
said he intended to sell the cattle at
Iowa City aud return by the cars to
his former home in Indiana. From
his contradictory story, Mr.. X. at once
suspected him to be guilty OF stealing
theloxen,and he accordingly pretended
that he was DESTROYS Of purchasing
them. The young man at first asked
$3.50 but finally agreed to take 500 in
gold he didn't want paper money! for
the yoke. After they were driven into
the yard, Mr.. X. told him his suspic-
ions and also his determination to keep
the oxen till it should be proven that
they were not stolen. The young man
seeing that he was getting into tight
place, Immediately put out and has
not been heard Of since. He was
very ordinary looking man about %
years Of age, and seemed to lack the
necessary gumption" to carry on
thieviog successfully. Mr.. X. will
shortly advertise the oxen, and it is
hoped the owner will be able to find
them. They appear to have been
driven considerable distance.-Mus

Tho % Republican Party Daguen eotyped
byl . own N embe ..

Democrats have said may things OF
the Republican party, that could not,
by any means, be regarded asvery flat
tering or complimentary. But all that
they have said is more than confirmed
by Republicans themselves. Here is
picture of 'he piebald, mongrel con-
Germ, by the Springfield (Mass) Rfpub-
itcan, one of the leading party organs
Of New England:
1.-THE fact is, the Republican party
ISN'T party yet, and still worse. isn't
likely to be at present. What ii needs
more than ANYTHING else, is Il definition
of itself-a discipline, boundary, y
habitation, doors to let people in, walls
to keep them in, aud a recognized head
of the house to look up to as 'provider
1t has none OF these things now, but
inhabits sort of ten acre lot, half the
bars of which are down three quarters
OF the time. lou admit one squad
and another escapes at the same mo-
ment. Every man fights for his own
band, like the Highland chiettain. 1t
is anti higgcr, in St. Louis, to save Mr..
Blair 'protectionism in Pennsylv
MIA, to accommodate Henry c. Carey
aud save two CT three Congressman !;
old-iashioned whiggery in Ohio, so
that Tom Corwu may make himself
perfectly at home; Fiilmoreism in
Kentucky and Mary land, so that Hum
phrey Marsha ard Henry Winter
Davis may be reelected s; truck and
1icker in the Massachusetts State
Committee, 50 that Bnrlingame may
not be beaten, and so on. A Garden
eri,e or straight Republican OF 1857
or even Flllmoreite of S4G, is inst
as good Republican as anybody.
There is no risk in deserving, for the
deserters are not shot, as they are in
the Democratic and every other well
regulated party"
Here is another from the Belfast
(Maincll Age, a straight ont Republican
paper:
Now it is high time to come to an
understanding. Is is no use any longer
to pass off the Republican party for
what it isn't, and thus lead great minds
to suppose it very different party
from what it is. We might just as
we'll confess title party is made up
Of small men-thc common class
very seldom man can be found in it
wiser than our revised statutes-very
few live on the mountain tops. 1t is
manifestly not the patty where great
minds will enjoy themselves the best,
and we think tor their own comfort
they had better not come into il.
There is such total want of appreci-
alton OF great men and great ideas.
that it IS almost like casting pearls
before swine for such to undertake to
preach or talk to such party"

A Few WoHDs ABOUT HIRED GIRLS.
Taylor, of the Chicago Journal, has
the following:
"But as it now is, what a dignity
invests cur hired girl She is the
calico tie that binds two willing hearts
in enc, and be she blessed forever =
Think that the red-armed barbarian
who rules the roast and the house
together, when she smooths your linen
bosom, is freeing your lle.hv breast
from care, and ironing out wrinkle
from the brow remember when, of
frosty mornings, she lights fire
whereby you make your toilet, that by
the same sign she is replenishing the
flame OF love, and the feeblest OF tan
cies will transform her into pIicstess,
who keeps forever burning the ethereal
spark Of domestic affection
Had Adam been modern, there
would have been "a hired girl in Para
disc to raise Cain and look after the
little Abel. She would have hung the
dish>cloth on the roses that Eve in
tears bent over, that never would in
other gardens grow and tear the fig
leaf aprons all to pieces washing days.
Adam must bring water from the En-
pirates for her use, before he went to
'lop the wanton growth of clustering
vines she must sit between the gar
dener and his wife at dinner; if angel
visitors sometimes, on business bound,
did call, till the stars were filled to
light them home to Heaven, she leaves
the work and sInooths Der hair, and
cntertains the stranger quite aware
and by aud by old Adam-easy soul
and his fair wife would live with
Bridget, and Budget would be the
occupant Of Eden. Happy would
Adam be, if when she leaves, she will
give him "a character, and not, like
Sampson, bear away the gates Of peace
