A STRANGE AND EXCITING SCENE IN

A COURT OF LAWN the Probate
Court Of Cincinnati, says the Gazette,
an interesting trial occurred before
Judge Hilton. involving the right to
custody Of child. The decision Of
the Judge, takingt the child from the
care of party TO whom she had
been confded by the Orphan Asy ylum,
and giving her to mother and step
father regarded as of bad character,
excited great dissatisf, fiction among
the by-standers, and some, among
whom was N. Lougworth. Esq, were
disposed to interfere forcibly to pre-
vent the transfer Of the child. The
step-father then stepped around to
take the child, who bad been sitting
in the lap Of one of he ladies' pres
ent. The little thing drew back
from him 10 apparent terror, and in
an imploring manner, with tears, c,ll-
eG out to the Judge, "Oh Judge, Go
not give me to bim!" This caused
considerable emotion, and Gaffney
showing disposition to assert the
right the Court had declared in bis
behalf, several persons gathered a.
round. Mr.. Longworth, in an excl
ted manner, said "let the mob inter-
fere!" but the first man who attempt
ed it was instantly taken hold of by
the officers present and thrcwEout of
the room. Mrs. Weig ghtman, the wife
of the respondent, overcome by the
excitement of the entire proceedings,
tainted; the little child wept bitterly
and clung to the friends that bad a.
dopted it Many of the ladies wrung
their hands, and declared it would be
ruined if it left them. The whole
courtroom was turned into scene
of confusion; and the Judge as a
matter of discretion under the cir
cumstances, directed Sheriff Kesler

+ We look upon the Democratic

To THOSE WHO WRITE FOR TIE
PREss.-It would be q great favor to
editors and printers, should those
who write for the press observe
the following rules. They are rea-
sonabIe, aud correspondents should
regard them as such:
l. Wnte with black ink, on white
paper, with rolled lines.
2. Make the pages smaller than
that of fooiscap sheet.
8. Leave one page of each sheet
blank.
4. Give to the written page an am
pie margin all round.
s. Number the pages in the order
Of their succession.
6. Write in a plain, bold hand, with
less respect 10 beauty.
7. Use no abbreviations which are
not to appear iu print.
s. Punctuate the manuscript as il
should be printed.
I 9. For italics, underscore one line;
for small capitals, two; capitals three
10. Take special pains with every
letter in proper names.
IL. Review every word, to be sure
that none is illegible.
II. Put directions to the printer
at the head Of the page.
Is. Never write private letter tC

An APPROPRIATE OPENING. = Since
the Chicago Convention is regarded
by all sensible men as sort OF men,
agerie or circus, the managers made
an appropriate opening Of it on Sat
urday night last. At the dedica-
ton of the "Wigwam'' from seven
TO eight thousand curious people were
present, each being charged twenty
five cents admission fee. That is a
better "draw" than the "auimals
will ever make again. Republican
ism turns every one sof lis devices
to pecauiary profit for the managers
of the concern. That. however, Is
about all it does DO, there being nc
State in the Union in which it has
obtained power, wherein the interests
of the people have not suffered sadly
by its operations. = Ohio Statesman

called a southern convention to meet
in Richmond on the second Monday

ern snd consequently a straight out
sectional call. Let the southern peo-

Suppose the South should, under tho

the consequences of such a position.
Which horn Of the dilemma are they
