ing slandered him by saying on several oc-
casions, that he had sworn falsely in case
brought against him by Morecraft, and
tried before Justice Fem, at Clyde. The
defendant, Morecraft, did not attempt to
justify, but attempted to mitigate the dam
ages, by showing that Mr.. Thorpe on the
trial before Justice Fenn, had made false
statements, but in this he failed. After a
very full and thorough investigation of the
case the jury retired under clear and able
charge from the Court, and in few min
utes returned a verdict in favor Of the plain
tiff, for three hundred dollars. Attorneys

ly and maliciously thrown Mrs. Weise sew
eral. times into gutter, by the roadside,
filled with mud and water which she was
seeking to stop up, to prevent tho water
flowing upon hOr garden; in consequence
of which it was claimed that she was so
badly injured that her health was entirely
destroyed, and her recovery rendered exceed

gentlemen were examined as witnesses,

was DR.. Silvey, and DR.. Stanley, of San
dusky city, and DR.. Beaugrand, of Fremont;
and on behalf Of defendant, DR.. Tilden OF

TWO GAmRLERS.

Louis Napoleon CANDLES with the inter
ests of France and Europe. James Buch-
anan CANDLES with the interests Of the Uni
ted States. Napoleon is ready to sacrifice
the social and financial welfare Of France to
sustain his tottering throne. Buchanan
would as freely sacrifice the same interests
of this country to sustain his feeble admin
istration and continue in power clique Of
slavery propagandists. AT this hour all
Europe trembles at the faintest word which
falls from the nephew of his uncle. Here
the business of the nation hangs in doubt,
waiting what further wild schemes the mad
ness of party will give birth to. Will the
vast almost unmeasurable interests of this
nation evor assert their right and peroga-
tivel Will the men Of business whose sue
cess or failure is made the football of parti-
sans, ever see to it that statesmen and not
politicians are placed at the head of affairs
Our political degeneracy has reached this
lamentable pass, that men who hold office
understand that their duty is to take care
of tho party. Why is this mad scheme foi
the acquisition of Cuba now urged upon
congrcssi Not because we want Cuba
not because Buchanan and his advisers care
much to obtain it; but because they hope
to make political capital out of it. What
matter that all the mighty financial inter
ests of the nation suffer and lahguish; what
matter that there is not dollar in the
treasury. If the lust of dominion could be
reused in the breasts Of the people; if an
insane fever for the acquisition of more ter
ritory can be excited, and thus the demo
crat6 party be continued in power, all else
NAV 90 to ruin. The end of this Cuba fol
ly ia thus gained. We end where we be-
gan by saying that two gamblers are play
ing with the social and financial interests
of two continents. On tho board at Wash
ingtou the game is nearly played out. II
will be ended tonight. If the mischief
which are under incubation arc not ther
hatched, they are dead. We trust in Got
that another such fool and political knavC
as James Buchanan will never arise to the
office of President Of these United States

John NJ, Bolts Of Va, delivered an ora
tion in New York, on the 20. In his speech
he took wide survey of political parties
and public measures. He is an out and out
Of the Buchanan administration,
and urges the people TO unto in opposition
to such democracy in 1860, tho following is
his platform:
l. Opposition TO The foreign and domes-
tic policy Of the Democratic party.
2. Favorable to the encouragement Of
home industry.
8. Advocates the building Of a Railroad
to the Pacific.
4. In favor of giving foreigners the right
of citizenship in The Territories, but would
exclude them from voting
8. Opposes the extension Of Executive
power, as proposed by placing S90,000,o00
iu the hands Of the President fer the pur-
chase of Cuba; and giving him authority
to use the land and sea forces to protect the
transit routes; and extend protectorate
over portion of Mexico.
6. He styles the Democracy the imposi-
tion party, and urges union in the next
Presidential party of the entire opposition.

Ague Cure.

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE or
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and AgueI
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Aghc, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
far the whole class of diseases Origis
Mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria OF fniasnintic 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 quan-
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This "CURR" expels
the tniasrhatic poison of PEvEH AND A0UE
from the system and prevents the develop
fhent 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
dollar brings 1t within the reach Of every
BODY; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AaUE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
II Is hoped this price viii place Il within the
reach Of aIl-the poor as well as the fich' A
great superiority of this remedy ovet any
other ever discovered for the speedy and eefs
| tain cure Of Intermittents is, that It contains
| no Quinihe 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 nevet
had the disease.
Fever and Aguei is not alone the consequence
Of the ifiiasmatic 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
bpleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie
Paralysis, and Derangement Of the Stomach
all Of which, when originating in this cause

Why Mountains are Cold.

1t is curious scientific fact that the
atoms of air, as we ascend, are at a great.
er distance from zach other. If the dis
lance between any two atoms is dimin.
ished, they give out heat, or render it
sensible; whereas, if the distance be.
tween thcm be increased, they store it
away. The upper strata are sensbly
colder than the lower, not because the
atoms have less heat, but because the
heat is ditused through larger space
when the atoms are farther apart. One
pound Of air at the level of the sea. with.
IN the tropics, may be said to contain no
more heat than the same weight at ton
of the highest mountain, perpetually COW

the same wind which is warm in the val.
ley becomes colder as it ascends the sides
of the mountains. The diminishing pres.

Old Age and Vice.

There is something terrible in vicious
old age. Its very imbecility heiehtens
the terror we see the bad passions still
longing for their impure food, while, to
great extent, the power. that once pur.
veyed for them is foryer gone. Gold
glitters, but it, if beyond the trembling
senile reach selfish thirst for position
still parches the wrinkled throat, but the
lettering step vainly struggles towards
the sparkling fountain hatred fol- an
enemy still burns in the failing heartsbut
the sinewless hand clutches feebly at the
dagger. Alasi he is still unconscious
practically at least, that wealth is only
to be desired for the sake of some benev-
client end position for the power it af
fords Of shedding happiness on our fell
low men ; and his lips have yet to echo
those sublime words of forgiveness uttered
by Him who spoke as man never spake.
Yes terrible and loathsome is vicious
old age, as it totters on to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns. Be-
hind it stretches the Past, waste of
ashes around it spreads the Present.
champaign from which, full though it
may be of beauty and grandeur, it can
gather no delight before it looms the
awful Future-a cloud with no sunshine
on its edges, no voice of hope coming
from its mysterious deeps. How differ

es into the cloud can whisper. :" / have

ject brimful of reflection for the young
for those just starting from youth on the
road of manhood :?
