CRANES PATENT METALLIC
BURIAL CASKET

TIME subscribers have become the owners
u Of the right Of this newly invented
I" Burial Casket," or the county OF Yazoo
The Casket is fashioned to accord with the
feelings of the bereaved, and yet retains all
the requisites of an appropriate receptacle for
the dead
Whatever tends 10 soften or make less keen
the pognancy of our grief. commends itself
to our consideration. So much that is repn-
slve has been discarded in the arrangement and
shape OF the above case, that its name, the
"Casket Burial Case" is an Involuntary sug-
ges,ion. We do not hesitate to aver that
there has never been in use anything so entire
y chaste, appropriate, and, withal, 50 conve-
hlenl as this invention.
The Casket is perfectly air-tighl. composed
OF metal. and will last for ages
Q3- We have now supply of the Casket
on hand, and respectfully invite our friends to
call and examine them.
COFFlNS will be made for those who prefer
them. Orders attended to at all hours, whether
by day or night, or Sunday.
Their shop is near he river, nearly in rear
of Harrison u Hyatts.

A Kiss IN THE DARK.-HClcroft, the
well known dramatist, supped one evening
at Opie's. After the cloth had been re.
removed numerous stories we're told, among
which was one of gentleman who, having
put out his candle on going to bed, read in
phosphorescent characters on the wall
Confess thy sins" The gentleman fell on
his knees, and, as expected, began to confess
bis sins aloud-not from terror, however
for aware it was trick to terrifv him. de.
vised by a certain wsggish young lady in
the house, and hearing a little hustle on the
stair head, guessed rightly that she and her
comrades were there to enjoy bis discomft-
ure. He confessed, as the last and greatest
of his sins, that che had kissed Miss -
frequently in the dark" and so turned the
tables on his tormentor With vcngeauce-a
lesson she never forgot

best varieties Of Apples to be obtained in Eu

as we nave tested, we can recommend no more
than forty or fifty varieties which succeed well
IN TINS Southern climate. Many OF the finest
Northern varieties are entirely wosthess and
many Others are Of questionable value, while
only lew, and those mostly of the earliest
varieties, can be confidently recommended to
give entire satisfaction to The Southern Planter
lhe same result has attended our experiments
IN the cultivation Of the Pear, Peach. and most
other varieties Of fruit; bat while we have
found many to be worthless, we have succeeded
IN selecting some varieties Of the Apple. Pear,
Peach, Neetariue, Apricot, Plum, Cherry, &C.,
That can be confidently relied on to produce
fruit OF as fac quality and in some instances
finer than can be produced in The grounds Of
the most extensive orchards Of the North,
Persons wishing TO supply themselves with

the JeGr Of disappointment, can Do so, bysend
ing US their orders EARLY, naming the varieties

EDITOR LEADER Many good names have
been mentioned recently in connection with the
Gubernatorial Office of our State, and no doubt
either of the gentlemen named would be com
.petent 10 fill that place hoporably and usefuIly,
if chosen, but we believe that no name yet men
toned would be so cordially received by the
masses of the people, not only in Cuyahcga
county but throughout the State, and none
would command so large popular vote, as our
own long tried and ever faithful JOHN A. FooT.
1t is altogether unnecessary for US 10 attempt
4 history of his life and public services. They
have been known to the citizens of our county
for third of century or more, and for many
years to the people of the State at large. His
iabors in behalf of the common schools, of the
benevolent institutions of the State generally
and particularly his efforts in establishing that
crowning monument of the benevolence and
wisdom of Ohio, the "Reform School" for chill
dren, have endeared him TO the hearts of the
people everywhere. Always efficient and ade
quate to the duties of every post hitherto as
signed him, we confidently offer the name o
"Honest John of Cuyahoga."

Another Proposed Amendment

The great work of the Democratic Constitu-

er too old fogyish for the progressive DemOc-
rscy on the "nigger question" Accordingly
Mr.. Stafford, of "enlightened Hamilton" has in
troduced in the Senate a proposition TO submit
to the vote of the electors on the second Tues
day of October next, the approval or rejection
of the following amendment as substitute fol
the sixth section of the Constitutio, viz;
SEC. g. No idiot, insane person, or person
with marked and visible admixture of African
blood, shall be entitled to the privilege of an
elector.
