And why? Because the power was already
given by the use Of the previous words "aay

Every person Iopkin. into the Journal Of the
ses,io.l or ia tie least familiar with the his.
tor, of that Legislature, knows it was be-
cause It was cxpr ,SSly intended to withhold
the power to subscribe to works Of internal

that this bill was reeircsl to the Jadiciarv

that this committee subsequently reported
that ali OF, it was then tic law except this

VIII also be seen that substitute was intro-
dslced for the bill, whicl affirmed the mower in

80 that whether W, look to the con, tr ,rt;or
placed upon this section bv the Judiciary
Committee, or to the subsequent, persistent
effort to confer the power, and its defeat bv
the Legislature, there can be no doubt Nc Ia
the meaning or construction then given and
placed upon this section. And thus find
that the same General Assembly which pass
cd the Code, expressly refused to confer the
power, and the subsequent one voted down
proposition to amend the section SO 80 -
make it read substantially as it did when -.
ported by the Commissioners. So
In view of this history, 7 ask. 'canssksSs,y- !

BY the appeneeis EAgexsee 1t seems 70 ~. 8
not, and that whether We look to the lanruaees

words by the code itselE-to the natural ma
received sense Of the language employs s.
20 the history OF its passage-the subseunent
attempt to confer the power-or to an OF tfaerr-
combined, the argument is abundant en-.
ymcing, overwhelming against the protbsf-@
ton that the power claimed has bee1 cn n.
ferred &
Such bemg NV construction of the 1aw
whfch 1t IS insisted confers this power, it b.
comes unnecessary to examine the question
OF the power OF the legislature to authorize
taxat'on by the counties for such purposes.
Nor need pass upon the other questions
made by appellants in relation to the regular.
'ty OF the vote In this instance. fthere was
no power, the strictcst compliance with the
law as to the manner of submittino the c,,ss.
| ton, cannot avail.
In my opinion the cause should be reyers-
ed and the injunction made perpetual And
this being the opinion of majority Of the
court 1t IS so ordered. WRIGHT, C. j.

Pl,nonic Adventure. Cincinnati
Gazette of Friday last tells the following
good one:
Several week since, couple of persons,
better known to the medical faculty of Gin
clnnati than to the residents of the city. at
large, were the victims OF a practical joke,
the particulars of which they have tried un-
availingly to keep secret. Fortunately, they
were unsuccessful, and as reward for their
extreme trepidation, they are afforded the
following:
The twain alluded to are couple of "hon
est tradesmen," so termed scientifically, but
practically called "resurrectionists," who,
on one of their midnight expeditions two
weeks ago, secured a "subject" from the
neighborhood of Carthage TO avoid suspl-
cion, the body was placed on the seat OF the
wagon and for charnal house habiliments, a
suit of earthly raiment was substituted, and
as the wagon approached the city,no beated
wanderer would ever have dreamed OF the
truth.
At hostelrie on the wayside, that fur
nishes not entertainment tor man and beast,
but modern decoctions for young bloods,
these two "honest tradesmen" stopped to
quaff OF their tavorite nectar, and it was DUR
Ing their absence from the wagon, that an
attache of the hostelrie pitied their painting
Bucephalus, and gave him drink. The
hostler espied the third party on the seat,
and ignorant of the true state OF things, said
to the supposed mortal, that it was shame
fer his companions to take drink and not
invite him.
OF course, to this commiseratlng speech mo
reply was made, the hostler thought the
fellow rude, but concluded to invite him in
and enjoy private smile; then drew close,
and like fash of gunpowder was made ac-
quainted with the facts; he hesitates for a
second, his fingers wander slowly through
his beard, and, as if struck by sudden and
happy thought, he shouldered the corpse,
carried it to the stable, and, DOMINIC its mas
querade, asurps its place in the wagon. The
''honest tradesmen," having finished the i'm
bibations, returned to their vehicle, mount
to the seat, and drive OFT.
Not long, and the hands of one OF the twain
press against the forehead OF the corpse, and
starting up, says to his companion, "why
Jim, this body's warm" the other naturally
satisfies himself by similar investigation,
and replies: $50 it is; who ever heard of
the like, corpse warm three days after
DEATH" Here the supposed corpse chimed
in, and said IN a voice sepulchral as possible:
"lf you fellows had been in hill as long as
have, you would be warm, teo!' This was
too much for the "honest tradesmen," ana
jumping from their seat,, they He'd indis-
criminately, leaving the "live corpse" sole
gamer of spawned horse and rickety wagon,
as his part OF the joke.

A Child Born IN the iSnolo and Frozen to
DEATH The Armstrong Democrat published
at Kittanning, Pa, relates the following hor-
rible story:
"a sad case of child birth came to our
knowledge few days ago, SO peculior in its
character, and horrible in result, that we
cannot refrain giving facts, but Withholding
names. A young lady, we shall presume her
to be, in this county, 'loved not wisely and
fell sacrifice to the wiles of the seducer -
On Sunday, the LIST of January, one of the
most bitter cold days this winter, she left
the house at which she was employed as S
help, and retiring a short distance from it,
in the open air, gave birth to living, heal
thy child, after which she returned to the
house as if nothing had occurred. The wo-
man in whose employ she was, noticing that
all was not right, by marks tracked to where
the child was laying upon the snow, kicking
about and crying. She took it to the house
and cared for it as tenderly as possible, but
the surface of its body was so badly frozen,
that in few days it became literally fayed
and died. Its inhuman mother recovered in
due time, having been but little the worse OF
her exposure"

VIsCIssITUpEs OF FORTUNE "A few years
ago one of the most active and successful bu-
siness men in the city of Hudson was Leon
ard Wells. Everything be touched turned
into money. He once made $4,000 in an
hour, by the purchase and sale of piece OF
real estate. Fifteen years ago he was worth
$4,000. Shortly after this luck turned
against him. He lost 900 by buying
stock in the Hudson and Berkshire Railroad.
This was followed by other losses, caused
by endorsements. In less than eighteen
months Mr. W. passed from atfluence to ex-
treme poverty-trom being worth $4,000
to being not worth one cent. Mr. w is now
a resident of Albany, and earns living for
himself and family by peddling candles, ap
Piles, and doughnuts.

LABOR SrRIKEs-A late English paper con-
tains the following in regard to labor strikes
in that country:
Notwithstanding the severe lesson which
the strike in the building trade in London
placed before working men, it appears that
wisdom is not the certain result of expert
ence, as the Golfers of Glasgow have given
notice of strike unless their wages are
raised. In retaliation, the iron masters have
determined to blow out every furnace in
Scotland this month, and unless a better
state of .Aind arises, we SHALL have the old
struggle over again, of labor against capital
with the same disastrous results"

Lord Campbell, the Lord Chancellor OF
England, has renewed his hitherto ineffec
tual effort to induce the British Parliament
to abolish that principle of the trial by jury
which requires the unanimity of the jurors.
Parliament has already limited the appica-
ton of trial by jury, by enacting lately that
in some cases the decision of Judge or
Magistrate may supercede that of jury on
questions of pure fact. The Lord Chancel-
lor would go much farther, to advocate the
passage OF a law providing that if the jury
in civil action, after having deliberated
a certain time, the verdict of a certain num-
Der OF them-probably majority-may be
taken as a verdict in the case. 1t is notpro.
posed to make such change in criminal ca
Ses.

FREEDOM OF ITALY.-A very large meeting
was held on Friday night in New York, for
the purpose of giving expression to the SEN
timents of the people of America who symp'

chairman. Addresses were delivered by
Rev. j. p. Thompson, Rev. Henry Ward
Charles King, President of Columbia Col.
leee; Joseph Hoxie and Prof. o. M. Mitch
eli. The principles urged in the Napleonic
pamphlet Of LIE 'Pape ct lie Congress, were
enthusiastically endorsed, and the rights
of the Italians to independence of the Ro.

A MAN BURNT TO DEATH-During the hur.
ricane on Thursday night of the 9th instant
the dwelling house of Mr.. George Smith
situated short distance from Newburg
Preston county, Pennsylvania, was burnt
to the ground, and young man named
William Shahan, son of Joshua Shahan, per
ished in the flames. The family of Mr.
Smith barely escaped with their lives, by
being dashed through window, without

A Frenchman has invented what is called
barrotrope. a sort OF human locomotive,oy
which man sits on wheels and walks him
self along five miles in thirtyfive minutes on
the Bulevard Bazaar, at noon, when
the street was most crowded. At an
other time the same man made thirteen
miles in ninety-six minutes, the exercise,
being so easy that ne offered to keep it up
they could without difficulty average fifty
or sixty miles day. A singular thing about
it is, that it beats the best turn-outs on steep
grade if they present compact or paved
surface.
