Five Children Burnt 10 Death.

The saddest affair that ever occurred in
our county happened on Monday night,
the 10Th inst, in Goshen township, by the
burning of the dwelling of Mr.. Humphrey
Owen. The particulars as related to us
are as follows Early in the evening, after
the family had retired, a ncighbor of Mr..
Ovens happening to be passing, on his
way home from some meeting in the neigh
borhood, and discovered the building in
flames. He Immediately gave cry of
fire, which aroused another neighbor, who
hastened to the burning residence, and
scceeded in waking the family by break
ing in the door. Mr.. Owen, apprised of
his danger Immediately ran to alarm his
children, but upon opening the door lead
ing to the chamber above, where his five
boys were still fast asleep, the flames burst
into his face and drove him back; almost
frantic, he called to his little ones to es-
cape, but only one seemed to hear or un-
derstand; this one jumped out of bed, hur
ried to the head Of the stairs, but seeing
the fire, and perhaps too young to realize
his danger, ran back to his bed and child
like, nestled down between his little bro
theirs, where they all pcrished together
By this time the fire had made such pro-
gress thar Mr.. Owen with his wife and
one child (only about week old) were
obliged to flee Mrs. Owen escaping bare
footed, in which condition she walked
u half mile over the frozen ground, to a
neighbours house.
Perhaps the saddest ond most eflectine
incident in this melancholy occurrence
was the sight which met the eyes of those
who were near the burning building when
the upper floor of the house gave way
The fire had originated is tho lower part
of the house, as is supposed, from pan
of ashes recently taken from the stove,
and containing few Goals which the high
wind had famed into a blaze, causing il
to ignite with the building. When the
supports of the floor had been eaten away
by tho fire, the chamber floor came down
almost entire, and with it the bed con-
tanning its treasures, the five little sleepers
who, through the blaze and smoke, were
distinctly seen, cuddled together as they
had lain down at night, weary, to dream
of the pleasures of new day that would
never come. The horror of such a sigh
to the agonized parent. can be imagined
better than tongue or pen can describe
May the Great Father make easy the bur
dens of Mr.. and Mrs. Owen.- Canfelc

Important rreSt--BOyntOn, the
AbscOndinS Washington Clerk
in Custody.

Last evening Capt. Bowling and officer
Jourdan of the Sixth Ward succeeded in
arresting S. G. Boynton, late clerk in
Washington under Mr.. Forney. He is
accused, as our readers must know, Of
absconding with upward of 100000
worth of Post Office scrip, which he had
received from other parties for the pur-
pose of selling. 1t is alledged, however.
that he pocketed the cash, and intended to
leave for Europe by the next steamer
1t was not supposed that Boynton was
in the city at all, but yesterday evening
Captain Bowling received information
that he was somewhere around, as also
an incomplete description of his appear
ance. BY this slender thread hung the
whole case, and it was indeed courageous
to think even of the possibility of sue
cessful issue. The officers started out
and searched Broadway through, but
without success for some time, until at
last they observed the very gentleman
they were looking after walking down
Broadway late in the afternoon with all
the sang .troid imaginable.
AT first the Captain was not certain
that this was the right man, but strongly
supposed it was. determining to be pref
ty sure before venturing on an arrest. AT
last the accused stopped before the Inter
national Hotel, when it was settled that
he should be announced of his unpleas-
ant position, Captain Bowling there
fore called him by name, and Boynton
did not pretend to deny that he was the
sought after party, but quietly proceeded
to the station house where he was placed
under strict surveillance.
The prisoner isa good looking gentle
man, of about 80 years of age, and takes
his arrest quite coolly, enjoying himself
by smoking cigars and writing letters to
his friends "at home and abroad" He
will be detained to await any requisition
that may demand his body at any place.

Vhc Niggcr Question.

Dent our Neighbor Of the Farmer know that
the Supreme Cowt of Ohio with majority, if not
n full bench of Democratic Judges decided many
wears ago, that colorcd people, in whom white blood
urcdominated, were entitled to the elective fran
elise If it was right for Democratic Court 90
make such decision, there is surely no ground
for complaint, if IL Republican Court should make
u similar one 1t is only following Democratic
recedents.-RepuJhcan.
The above will do with few slight
corrections.
1st The decision was not made by "a
full bench of Democratic Judges" nor
"with a majority" Of such.
ID. Tho Decision referred to was made
under the old Constitution which made
"white male citizens of Ohio" legal
voters instead of "whte male citizens OF
the United States" as the new Constitn-
tion reads. The highest Tribunal in the
Union has decided that mulattoes arc
not "whitc male citizens Of the United
States" and Of course they cannot be en-
titled to vote under our present Constitu-
ton. a person may be a citizen of OHIO
or of any other State, and still not be n
citizen of the United States. The laws Of
Minnesota make q man born in a foreign
country II citizen after six months resi-
iIcncc in the United States, provided that
residence is in Minnesota, but such per
sons cannot become citizens OF the United
States until they have completed five
years residence in the Union.
81. The Courts of Ohio have no more
right to set at defiance the decisions of
the Supreme Court of tho United States
than Justice of the Peace has to defy the
superior courts of Ohio
Tho Black Republicans who fall back
upon the old decision that mulattoes could
vote under the then existing Constitution
should bear in mind the difference between
the old and new Constitutions of this
State; and also that since the adoption Of
tho present Constitution which makes all
"whte male citizens the United States. I"
&c, voters, that the highest Judicial Tri-
bunal in the land has plainly decided that
those having visible admixture of Afr-
can blood are not citizens of the United
States.

Questions, which it might he
well for Gov, DennisOn IL they
can he Satisfactorily answered

The documents demanding the persons
Of Brown and Merriam, by the Governor
Of Virginia, were placed in the hands OF
Governor Dennison on the 9th inst. The
letter of Attorney General Wolcott, upon
which Gov, DonniSon pretends to predi-
cate his refusal to deliver them mp, bears
date of the 7th inst, and yet Mr., Howells,
editor of the Ashtabula Sentinel, on the
9th inst, in his editorial correspondence
to that paper, stated positively that they
would not be delivered up.
Will the editor of the Sentinel inform
us us how he knew the fact that the de-
mand was made on the Govurno of Ohio?
Such demand is always kept secret to
prevent the fact from coming to the ears
of the fugitive, and thus enable him to
escape.
ID VIII Mr.. Howcls inform us how
hew knew whom he wrote the letter. that
the requisition would be refused by Gov.
Dennison, twenty'four hours before the
Governor professed to have made up his
mind about the matter?

words Of wisdom from age and
EXpPriancc.

At the Baltimore Conference of the Me
thodist Episcopal Church, held recently,
the Rev. Thomas Stilwell presented a let
ter from the venerable Joshua Wells, who
is now nincty.eight years of age. The let
ter contained many expressions of good
will and brotherly love toward the mem
bers of the Conference, and entreated the
members to refrain from the discussion of
the slavery question, as nothing but harm
could result to the Church from such dis
cussion. The Rev. Dr. Wells is the old
ost clergyman living.
