DutchCIocks.

A gentleman of our acquaintance who
travelled in Holland, relates fact which
We do not recollect to have seen noticed
In any of the published accounts of travels
in that country. 1t j, this, namely, that
the town or church clocks 10 Rotterdam,
and other cities, are required by law 10 be
set 10 a different time in different parts of
the German cities. For instance, at the
East end it shall be twelve o'clock some
fifteen minutes sooner than at the west,
the intermediate chronometers being rsgu-
larly graduated between them.
This, we are informed, is to prevent them
from all speaking at once, and thereby TO
avoid confusion of tongues. Thus they
tell different stories of the time; and eYen
the Saints are made TO contradict one an
other; for, while by st. Paul's it shall be
fully twelve o'clock, by ST. Peters IT shall
be only three-quarters past eleven; while
st. John, St. Mark, St. Bartholomew, and
St. Nicholas shall tell an entirely different
tale.
The private watches and clocks are, of
course, graduated according to the quarter
of the city in which the owners chance to
reside, or according to which they apper-
tain; and citizen at the East end shall
be actually smoking his pipe, while one at
the west is still engaged in eating bis din
ner; and the former shall be putting on
his nightcap, while the latter is merely
toasting his feet.
A stranger passing, through one of the
Dutch cities, and unaeeuainted with the
municipal regulations in regard to clocks,
would be apt to conclude that there was
little harmony in Holland among the
Saints, when they tell such contradictory
stories; or else that Father Time was a
great laggard in that country, when it re
quires him such a great length of time to
travel from one side of moderately large
city 10 the other. But herein he would
find himself mistaken; and becoming bet
ter acquainted with the regulations of the
place, he would acquit the Saints of all
intentional discord, would withdraw his
charges against Father Time, and set down
the disagreement of the cronometers solely
as the effect of Dutch wisdom.

The Portage County COuutefeif- .

The Ravenna Democrat has the follow
ing account of the late arrests, counterfeit
ing apparatus, &c, seized, and character of
the persons, in Portage county:
On Thursday last, on the premises of a
man named Price, in Paris, was found about
half ton of implements in the way Of
presses, rolling mill for rolling out the
base metal, a quantity of the gold dollar
metal in all stages of manufacture, the
substitute for silver used in the manufacture
of"quarters," paper for printing bank notes
upon, the ink used in the printing process,
and some other little articles. The articles
were found concealed upon the different
parts of the premises,-up stairs, in the
wood shed, DC. The man Price has borne
tolerably fair character, although of late
some little suspicion has been directed TO-
wards him. No dies or plates could be
found on these premises. Price is still at
large.
On Friday. citizen of Edinburg, named
Robt. Bluff, was arrested and his premises
searched, and a couple of hundred dollars
in counterfeit bank notes found under a
carpet in one of the rooms of his house,
Bluff was arrested upon warrant issued
from the United States Court in Cleveland,
and was taken to that city on Friday. He
is pretty well off, owns fine farm, is near
ly fifty years old, and has bad reputation.
On Saturday night, Eli Hutson, a citi-
zen of Edinburgh, was arrested upon q
United States warrant, for being dealer
in bogus coin. He is understood to have
been connected with the gang in the i'm
portant capacity of bill-signer.
On Sunday the officers made a second
search of the premises of Bluff, and found
concealed upon them large press for print
ing the notes, dies for making the bogus
"quarters," portion of bank note plate,
and quantity of bogus quarters that were
too imperfect to put in circulation. Bluff
is deep in the gang, and much OF The work
upon the bills, it is thought, has been done
at his house.

for the whole class of diseases origl.
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity. -..--..-.,, ...--.z~e
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prerention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGuB
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity We supply for
q dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AeUE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequences
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Coic,
Paralysis and Derangement of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put.on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate In sufficient quantity
to npen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
fords.

The Young Ladies of Australia.

Like the boys, the young ladies of Aus
tralia are in many respects remarkable
At thirteen years of age, they have more
ribbons, more jewels and lovers than per-
haps any other young ladies of the same
age in the universe. They prattle-and
very insipidly, too-from morning till
night. They rush to the Botanical Gar

They wear as much gold chain as the Lord
Mayor in his State robes. As they walk
you hear the tinkle of their punches of
charms and nuggets, as if they carried bells
on their fingers and rings on their toes

dozen rings over her white gloves, and who,

The Discharge of the Obersfn Res-
Cuerk.

A telegraphic dispatch from Cleveland
states that the Government has discharged
the score or more Of individuals who we're in
jail at Cleveland awaiting their trial before
the United States District Court for the res
cue Of slave boy from bis captors.
The Government few months ago prose
cufed lot Of Shareholders in the South lust
sufficiently to insure their acquittal by the
courts and Iurles OF Shareholders. And hav
ing gained considerable popularity BY the
non-enforcement of the law in those cases,
it seems disposed to adopt little holder poll
icy in behalf Of the Abolitionists of the West
ern Reserve with the hope Of making capital
for the October election in that State. At
least this ls the only rational explanation of
the movement, for to suppose that the pres
ent Administration lie actuated BY any hon
est motive would ignore its entire history.

that the basket swung under and up through
the crotch of the limb, while the boat had
caught in some OF the outer branches, and
this brought US to q little, but in another mo-
ment the .sAtlantic" pulled up her huge pro-
portions and at one swoop away went the
limb, basket and boat into the air a hundred
feet, and was afraid some Of the crew were
impaled upon the scrags. This limb, about
eight inches thick at the butt and full of
branches, not weighing less than six or eight
hundred pounds, proved too much for the
"Atlantic,'' and it brought her suddenly
down upon the top of very tall tree and
collapsed her. II was fearful plunge, but
il left US dangling between heaven and earth,
in the most sorrowful looking plight of ma
chinery, that can be imagined.
None Of US we're seriously injured, the ma
ny cords, the strong hoop made of wood and
iron, and the close wicker-wo basket saved
US from harm, as long as the machinery hung
together, and could not have lasted two min
utes longer.

As shade is the inevitable effec, OF light,
thus the comparative present prosperity of
this locality 10 productive Of many phenom-
ena, the apparition Of which forms no just
cause of congratulation on the par. of this
community. One Of these is the opening OF
a public gambling establishment. In the
bar-room Of the leading hotel faro banks are
kept, and monte and roulette are played from
sun up to sun down. The hourishing condi-
tons OF these institutions furnishes strong
testimony in favor Of the fact that there is
now considerable money in this country
But remarkable feature in the phase Of go
cial life in this latitude is that the patrons of
the gambling tables are not successful miners,
but mostly newly arrived immigrants. Hard
coin and gold dust form the gambling me-
dum.
