EDIToRs EMPIRE IL regret that an impress
sion has gone out that was disposed to act
"shabbily"in relation TO the Balloon Ascen
sion on Saturday. This was the farthest from
my intentions. The facts are these on SaturN
day morning, the clouds partially cleared away
and the weather gave promise Of being favor
able during the afternoon. / commenced the
initiation Of my Balloon and passed into her l5,-
came up and the rain descended so as to
saturste completely my Balloon and net, Upon
consultation it was agreed TO postpone the as
cension until Monday. and then have the as.
cension take place public square free to all,
the citizens TO defray the expenses Of the same
by collections. Subsequently it was discovered
that the Balloon was leaking badly and the
gas therein rapidly cOndensing l therefore
concluded to let OUT the gas bring the Balloon
TO Cincinnati, dry and oil it thoroughly. II the
citizens Of Dayton desire public ascension
am willing to make the same free Of chsrge for
my services or use aud risk Of Balloon ETC.
provided they make up the expenses. l will
ncure all expenses provided the ascension is
not made. Any personal difficulties between
Mr.. Smith and myself do not seek to parade
before the public. Suffice it that had known
the character of Mr.. Smith and his horse show
never would have gone to Dayton under his
superntendence. No one is more panied at
the failure of the ascension than am, and am
sure no one will go farther TO remedy the dis.
appointment than will. Hoping this apology
will be sufficient.

THE GERMAN MEETING LAST NIaHT-The Ger
man Democratic meeting last night, was ads
dressed by Otto Dressed, Esq, Of Columbus,
and a. Hofer and J. E. Egley, Esq.s, Of Gin
cinnati. Although number Of our prominent
German friends were performing military duty
at Camp Quitman, the attendance was large,
and the utmost enthusiasm was manifested
We were unable to understand the speeches,
but it's was quite evident that they were able
aud interesting addresses, for the speakers were
frequently interrupted by loud bursts of ap
plRuse. II any doubt had been before enter.
tanned, as to the deep and intense interest taken
in the coming election by our German citizens,
the proceedings at the meeting last night were
sufficient to satisfy any one, that they were as
much devoted to the policy of the Democratic
party as ever, and would vote the ticket almost
to man. Mr.. Hofer is the gentleman, to whom
Gen. Cass wrote his famous letter on the rights
Of naturalized citizens. His remarks were in
terspered with many happy hits, which drew
loud cheers from his hearers. Mr.. Egley made
an appropriate little speech at the close of
the meeting, and promised to address the GerN
mans of this place at more length, at some fn'
ture time. As the ball has now been set in mo-
tion, let the Germans of this county keep it mo-
wing until the election.

b&-We overheard two Republicans the
other evening, cantassing the chances Of
Schenck Corwin and Chase for the United
States Senate. No. was for Chase; he
thought he was the only sound Republican
Of the three, and he was afraid the others
would cheat emil No 2 preferred Corwin
thought he was sound on every question;
thought Schenek might answer the purpose,
and would be willing to 60 Chase, as OPP
posed to locofoco; was willing to trust the
Republicans in the Legislature, who woul d,
he believed, vote for the available man. The
Chase man became indignant:

they aint going to trust to the Legislaturel

GRAIN ON THE RooF,"-Seyeral years
ago, STEPHENS CoATs KINNEY, then a boy
"over to Springboro,' Warren county, in
this State, wrote a poetic ooneeit which he
entitled Grain on the the Roof. We be-
lieve the poem was published in almost eV
cry newspaper in this country and Europe
in most of the leading papers it was spoken
Of as very fine thing At any rase its
claims to poetry of high order were es>
established and the authors reputation
whatever it may be--as thinker and wri,
ter, is dated on Grain on the Roof" He
has written many things since--probably
too many--but the piece to which we allude
has been held as the very best production of
his pen. Since its advent, we are safe in
estimating that at least an hundred imita,
tions of it have been published. We have
noticed and denounced one Of these every
month or two in year since 1S45; most Of
them appropriating the style, and many of
them the major part of the words, The
very latest case of this peculiar piagerism
has been perpetrated by an individual who
gives his name as 'Egbert Phelps.F Mr..
Egbert Phelps seems to eovet an unenviable
notoriety. Had he stolen Kinneys money
instead of his poetry, he would probably
have been in prison.

RATs.-Early this morning, before our popu-
lation was all astir, we had on Third street
what might be termed, by courtesy, I" "rat bait. /"
A trap, con tanning one of those "odious Nor~
ways" was brought out of a store into the
street; but few persons were present, and but
one dog, a big, burly Newfoundlander: the rat
was let out, and the dog, after several grabs, in
which he knocked one or two excited me n of
theirpins. failed to draw blood, when quick.
footed fellow kicked Norway into the centre Of
the crowd, and another gentleman promptly
put his foot upon him. Another trap, in which
were two big rats, was then brought out. By
this time large crowd was assembled; drays,
carts, wagons, ETC., were called TO halt, until
the street was nearly blockaded. Excited men
begged that the rats be retained until they could
bring favorite dogs; in the meSn time the num-
Der Of dogs Increased, and the rats wers let out
They were first caught by two black dogs; one
Of the rats nipped his captOr on the Bnout,
which enabled him TO escape, and hs would
have got into cellar had it not been for g
quick biped and remarkably spry little terrier
dog, that ended the sport. During this fray
"intense excitemenF' prevailed.

pSrA party Of exceedingly romantic
young gents from the "rural shades" in
company with their aladis loves, took il into
their heads, few evenings since, to take a
moonlight ramble,' las the loving swains,

were pleased to represent it,) and in obey
anoe to the impulse of the moment, they
started on their "ramble" How far they
rambled, how long they rambled, in what
manner they rambled, or whether they were
heretofore given to rambling, our informant

the course Of their ''ramble" they--"acciden-
