A Quaker Mother to Governor
Letcher.

Mrs. Ann NJ. Raley, mother of Edwin
and Barclay Coppock has addressed let
ter to Governor Letcher, of Virginia, in
reference to her surviving son. She is an
elderly Quaker lady of respectability, re-
siding in Iowa. She informs Gov. L.
that her sons left home without informing
her of their designs; and after exposing the
brutalities exhibited towards Brown and
his companions, she tells the Governor that
he sis hunting all through the land for a
poor fatherless boy, who somebody has
said that somebody imagined had had
some connection with Brown Although
her poor consumptive son has thus far been
preserved, yet she declares she would be
willing to give him up also, with the ad-
dition of her own life, if thereby the dis
tressed bondmen might be liberated and
their masters purged of sin. A postscript
to her letter says:
GAS thou seems so very anxious to have
Barclay visit you, if he chooses to go, l
shall expect him to receive that kind hos
pitality at thy house that one of thy sons
would receive from me- Perhaps a few
months in the genial climate of Viginia
might prove beneficial to his health.
think you would soon become attached to
him, as he is pleasant boy and loves dry
jokes. A. L. R."

Freedom in Kansas.

The message of Gov. Medary vetoing
the bill to prohibit slavery in Kansas is
long, and had not been acted upon by the
Legislature at our last dates from Lawrence.
1t was supposed the bill would be bassed
over the veto.
The Kansas House of Representatives
by a vote of 81 to II, has passed a per-
sonal liberty bill, entitled an act to secure
freedom to all persons within the Territory
of Kansas. 1T provides that no one shall
be considered as property that no one shall
be deprived oflberty without due process of
law; that person arrested as fugitiue
from labor, shall be entitled to jury
Also that any one found guilty Of attempt
ing to deprive another Of his liberty, shall
be subject to Imprisonment for ten years.
The Democrats opposed the bill fiercely
and attempted to defeat it by filibustering,
but the Sergeant-at Arms would not per-
NIT them TO leave the hall. Medary will
veto the bill when it reaches him of course,
for throttling Freedom in the Territories is
the required work of the dirt eating, douh-
face Democracy of the North. Buchanan
and Douglas agree in this, for the demand
of the South is inexorable. a a

Oil Fever in TrumbulI County

The Warren Chronicle announces that
the Oil fever has broken out in that vicini-
ty with considerable violence, and there is
some cause for the excitement. 1t says:
In the township of Mecca, in the the Vi
cinity of powers Corners, there is dis
trlct, whose area is about two miles square,
where it has been known that oil would
accumulate on the surface of the wells in
such quantities as tosometimes make them
useless for ordinary purposes. Small guam
titles of this oil have been collected and
found to be almost precisely similar in
quality to the subterranean oil of Western
PENNSYLVANIA.
On Monday, Mr.. Ritezel of the Demo
crat, and ourself visited this district. We
found company from Gainesville, Pa,
(Messrs. Bunnell, Jordon & Co., busily at
work drilling in an old well on the premi-
ses of Mr.. Jeffrey. They had been at
work but short time, and had reached
the depth of SO feet. The surface of this
well was covered with oil, and we were
shown specimen, which was almost CO.
lorless, and emitted a strong, disagreeable
odor. Five other companies from West
ern Pennsylvania, have leased rights to
bore for oil in this vicinity, and will COM
mence operations very soon.
Oil rights have also been leased by differ
ent parties, on farms ON the side of Mus
quito Creek, in Bazetta and Rowland, some
within two or three miles of this place.

The CHOICE OF VIRGINrA'-The Rich.
mond Enquirer of the goth processes to
echo the voice of Virginia for the Presi-
dency, as voiced by the Democratic party
in State Convention. 1t declares "thns
the first choice of Virginia is now made
known to her sister States"-that call
doubt and uncertainty is removed" tina,
''sixty thousand Democratic voters have
declared, through their representatives, that
Henry A. Wise is their choice for the nexs
Presidency"
According to the Eaqarer's two test
votes were rendered by minority opposed
to the vote of preference, and each test
proved that Wise's friends commanded
majority of the whole vote of the State.
1t charges injustice and unbecoming disor-
der on the opponents of Wise, Intentional
ly excited and sustained, and winds up
with this bold brag:
Henry A. Wise now stands before the
Union as Virginia's chosen candidate for
the Presidency. The unit vote of Virginia
is his, and will be cast for him at Charles
ton, and his opponents are now precluded
by their own avowals from attempting, as
they are excluded by their weakness from
perpetrating any infraction whatever of
that unity.

A PAIR OF TwINs.-Last evening, la.
dy, residing-in Spring street, presented her
husband, with two daughters, and was lett
by the attending physician in comforta
bic condition, In the course of three
hours thereafter, ring was heard at the
door bell, and under the impression that
the Doctor had returned to see his patient,
the servant hastened to answer the sum-
mons, No one was to be- seen in the
neighborhood, but upon tho stoop was
found basket, which contained two new-
ly born male children, apparently twins
The lady, when informed of the eircum-
stance, seemed well pleased, and at once
adopted the little waifs-placing them in
bed beside her own. The young travellers
were fast asleep, md were conf 1ably
wrapped in costly embroidered fiannels.E

A Singular Affair

Sometime near 1885, Levi Jennings left
the community of Shakers in Union village.
Warren, county, Ohio, and came to this
county and SERTED near Elmwood. His
wife remained behind with the Shakers,
and Jennings took another wife,. He lived
here with bis second wife till somewere
about ls47, when he sold out bis farm,
paying his first or bona .fde wife $1,000
10 perfect the title to the purchaser; and
sending his second wife back to her friends
in Vermillion county, returned again to the
Shakers at Union Village. He remained
with them however, only two years, when
he came back to Illinois again, resumed his
connection with his wife No. 2, and settled
at East Cambridge, in Henry county, where
he went largely into sheep raising. Jen-
nings frequently visited this city on bust
nses, and during one of his excursions here,
was thrown from his wagon and so severe
" injured that his life was dispaired of.s--
While lying at the house of one of our
citizens, he made his will, which was wit
messed BY James Armstrong and Smith
Frye. Mr.. Jennings recovered however,
lived until last November, when he died at
his residence in East Cambridge. The will
still remained with Mr.. Armstrong. The
widow, or rather the women who was liv-
ing with Jennings at the time of his death.
came TO Peoria in search of the will, and
endeavorod to get it in her possession.--
Instead of giving 1t to her. Messrs. Arm
strong and Frye short time ago went 10
the county seat Of Henry county, and had
it opened and proved. L: was found that
the deceased had left his property, amoun-
ting to some seventy or eighty thousand
dollars, about equally divided between his
two wives and their issue. The homestead
in East Cambridge, containing some six
hundred acres of land, had been secured
to the seond wife. Wm j. Phelps, Esq,
of Elmwood, was named Executor OF the
sill. On Monday last, member of the
fraternity of Shakers at Union village, o.,
where the first wife is still remaining, was
in this city looking after her interests
The matter presents some rather singular
circumstances, but we do not learn that
there is any clashing between the two
branches, of Jennings family. Both sets
of heirs will probably acquiesce in his dis
position of his effects.-Peeria Trans

"a WARM1N' DRINK" DR. Hiram Cox,
the official inspector of liquors at Cincn-
natl, tells the following iii his last official
report:
1 called at grocery store one day,
where liquor also is kept. A couple Of
Irishmen came in while I was there and
called for some whisky and the first drank,
and the moment he drank the tears flowed
freely, while he at the same time caught
his breath like one suffocated or strangling.
When he could speak he says 10 his COM
panion-"Och, Michael, but this is warmin'
10 the stomach!" Michael drank and
went through similar contortions, with the
remark, wouldn't it be foine in cowld
frosthy morning?" After they had drank
l asked the landlord to pour me out lit
tie in tumbler, in which l dipped a slip
of litmus paper, which was no sooner wet
than it put on scarlet hue. went to
my office, got my instrument and examin-
ad it. 1 found it had II per cent. alco-
holic spirits by weight when it should have
had 40 per cent. to be proof, and the diff
ference in per centage made up by sulphu-
ric acid, red pepper, pelitory, caustic, po-
tasa and brucine, one of the salts of nux
vomica. One pint of such liquor would
kill the strongest man.

Washington News.

New YoRK, Feb. 81.
The Heralds Washington correspondent
says: The Republicans caucussed to-day
on printer. An attempt was made by
some of the Pennsylvania delegation to ad-
here to Mr.. Defrees, but the proposition
was not acted on. Mr.. Balls record Of the
34th Congress, wherein he used his effort to
defeat Mr.. Banks, was shown up, and his
course in that contest was seriously com.
mented upon. Thomas H. Ford, Ex-Lieut
Gov. of Ohio was put in nomination by
Gov. Corwin. The latter supported the
nomination in strong speech.
Some personal explanations were then
made, when Mr.. Spinner, of New York,
offered a resolution that each member
should be allowed 10 vote for whom he
pleased, on the first ballot on Monday, and
that the candidate having the largest num-
Der of votes on that ballot should be con-
sidered candidate on the second ballot.
The resolution was adopted, which created
quite competition among the candidates.
There is prospect now that somebody
will be elected on Monday. There were
only so Republicans present in the caucus.
Among those who were absent was Speak
er Pennington. Many members kept away
from the caucus to avoid being bound by
its action. When the resolution was offer
ed in favor of adhering to Defrees, Mr..
Adams, of Mass, who was in the caucus,
retired, declining to have his position COM
promised by any such proposition.
The Democratic Senatorial caucus met
at 10 o'clock to-day, upwards of 80 Sena-
tors being present.
Senator Green, of Mo-, reported from
the Special Committee series of resolu-
tions, seven in number. embodyiug the
principles of those introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Davis of Miss. Quite a
protracted debate ensued, in which large
number of Senators participated. Many
members, especially those whose proclivi-
ties were for Senator Douglas, were oppos-
ed 10 adopting any resolution whatever, as
they they might be considered the platform
for the Democratic Party. Itwas distinct
ly avowed by the friends of the resolutions
that the only object was to harmonic the
conflicting views contained in the four or
five sets of resolutions now under consid-
Grafton in the Senate. They were finally
adopted by large majority, and were
placed in the hands of Senator Davis, who
will report them to the Senate on Mon
day.
Mr.. Douglas was present and partici
pated in the discussion. He is understood
TO have dissented from the views contained
in the resolutions.

TERRIBLE BLow.-The tremendous
storm of wind and rain experienced in this
neighborbood on Wednesday night last,
seems to havSrevailed pretty generally
West and North West of us. In Cleve-
land number of houses were unroofed,
chimneys blown down, &c. One woman
was caught up by violent gust and drop
ped into the river. She was rescued much
scared, very wet, but not much hurt.
The storm was very fierce in other places.
At Norwalk barn was lifted from its po-
sition and carried partly into an adjoining
lot.
At Grafton dwelling house, belonging
to Mr.. Loomis, which was not quite finish
ed, was lifted from its foundations and car
ried ten feet. Other houses were also in
jured.
At Shelby several houses were unroofed
by the gale; one new house was slid from
its foundation, and large number of sheds,
out-houses, &c, were demolished.
At Sandusky the roof of the Union
Block, on Columbus avenue, was stripped
of its tin covering, and five chimneys blown
down. A board from the roof smashed in
large front window of Hosmer d Wells
Store, on Water street.
Trees were uprooted or broken down and
a general scene of wreck and ruin marked
the path of this violent storm.

different from what you have it. What we
did say is very distinctly remembered, and
we have no disposition to retract a single
part of it, but the term ignorant dutch
was not used, though, as applied to the
knowledge some of them have of the prin-
ciples of our government, might have been,
and not inappropriately, either. The same
might be said of some natives that we
know of.

SrR1KEs.-Quite q little stir was caused
among the Democracy in the Legislature
the other day, while bill TO punish me-
chapics for organizing "strikes" was under
consideration, A Republican member
pitched into the bill so effectually, that he
who introduced it thought it prudent for
himself to give the name of the real au-
thor of the measure, who proved TO be no
less slower Of the laboring classes" than
Hon. David Tod, whilom Democratic can
didate for Governor, and now engaged in
manufacturing at Youngstown, Mahoning
county. 1t is stated that Mr.. Tod has had
some trouble from his employees, who are
disposed 10 have voice in fixing the
amount of their wages, and resorts to leg
islation for a preventive of future difficulty.

Expulsion of Free Negroes.

Mississippi hesitates in following the
lead of Arkansas in cruelty driving from
her borders the free colored citizens of the
State. The bill which passed the Missis.
sippi House of Representative providing
for the expulsion of free negroes was de-
feated in the Senate, and the Legislature
adjourned sine die Feb. 1lth.
The defeat of an oppressive bill, similar
in its provisions, now pending in the Leg
islature of Tennessee, is considered certain.
The Democrats in the Legislature Of
Kansas, as elsewhere, lose no opportunity
to lug in the negro question. The bill in-
troduced by them for the exclusion of ne
groes has been unceremoniously laid on the
SHELF whereupon the Leavenworth Times
remarks:
''This is wise and well. The Republi-
can party do not intend to mix themselves
up with the inevitable "darkey." They
labor for the white man-for the interests
of free labor. We leave it for the Demo-
cratic party to perpetually emhroil them
selves with the gentleman from Ethiopia" )"
The Republican party has higher, no.
bier mission. 1t labors for free soil the
Republic over. We have had to meet the
"African" issue in every campaign "from
the beginning" and it has never broken
our line, and it never can. We trust the
Republican Legislators will maintain the po-
sition they have assumed, and let the mis-
erable swindle, known as the "Rlll for the
exclusion of free negroes" sleep the sleep
of death. 1t is dirty business at best
only fit for Democrats and disunionists,

A CowARDLY SET OF REsoLvEs.-The
Detroit Tribune pronounces the resolutions
of the Michigan Democratic State Con-
vention which appointed Douglas delegates
to the Charleston Convention, as the most
cowardly and disgraceful series ever adopt
ed by any political body. 1t says:
They do not even allude 10 Buchanan.
They half endorse and half repudiate the
Dred Scott decision. They did not dare
TO allude to the St. Clair Flats veto, or
take ground in behalf of the admission Of
Kansas, or rebuke the disunion threats of
their members of Congress, or their Know
Nothing adulteries. They were silent on
Mr.. Wendell's statement that 100000
were stolen from the Federal Treasury to
sustain partizan papers and bribe electors,
and the hundreds of thousands that have
been squandered on Utah, on the Paraguay
expedition, and on the Navy Yards, but
they were very severe on alleged State Re-
publican corruption. The miserable, sneak
ing hypocrites, and cowardly calumnia-
tors!

A LOST FAMILT.-We heard yesterday
of sad case, which we bring to the no
tice of the public generally. A young
man named Mloin H. Booher, left Mont
gomery county, ten miles northeast of
Charlottesville, five years ago, and went to
Missouri, where he has since lived. Re-
turning last fall he found his father, mother
and two sisters, all bis family gone. They
had said on leaving, that they were going
to Ohio, or Middletown. The boy went
there, but could hear nothing of them
Since that he has searched wherever he
could to find traces of his family, but with
out avail. He has spent all his money
and is now in this city without means or
friends. 1t is very sad case. If our ex-
changes will give circulation to this state
ment, it may lead to information that will
enable the boy to find his parents. Their
names are John Booher and Margaret
Booher.-Indionapolis Journal.
