An RIephnnr s,rimmIrs The ohio.

The people of Cincinnati enjoyed rather
novel scene few days ago in the crossing Of
the Ohio River by Dan Rice's tanned els-
phant, "Lalla Rookh." A crowd gathered
to see the huge beast make the trip from
the Kentucky side, and the Commercial
saws everything being in readiness the ele-
phant plunged into the water, but was i'm
nediately lost to sight. The cooling effects
of the fluid were so agreeable that her lady
ship seemed disposed to neglect the task as
signed her, and regardless Of the expecta-
ti0ns of the assembled multitude, roll and
splash around at her ease. The exertlons OF
her keeper, who piloted her in skiff, soon
brought her TO a sense of her duty, and she
struck out manfully into the stream. at
times nothing but the end Of her trunk
would be visible, then the top Of her head,
and again she would dive entirely out Of
sight, remaining under water until those on
shore began to think she was drowned, when
of a sudden she would come to the surface,
with surge that would throw her huge
bulk halfway out Of the water.
Thus she proceeded, until opposite the
Covineton ferry landing, when an amusing
incident occurred. The feet of skiffs which
rIIT7I ,Eiiis7 bar -liren her trim became 50
suit was some rowing winch would have put
even the famous Harvard Boat Club to a
blush. One Of the skiffs she pursued to the
bank. The consequence was, that, allowing
due calculation for the force of the current,
so as TO make landing at the required point,
it became necessary to take her ashore and
let her try fresh start. The second time
she started short distance below the mouth
Of the Licking. and proceeded diagonally
across the river, diving and rising with a
elbow" at times, and landing safely at the
foot of Race street, thus giving the whole
line of spectators q full view of her perform
ances. The sight was entirely novel to the
greater portion Of those present, and all
seemed to enjoy the spectacle exceedingly,
notwithstanding the intense heat to which
their position exposed them"

Gov. Chnse ia Toledo.

Gov. Chase has gone to Michigan to speak
to the people, aud on his way was gallantly
welcomed at Toledo by the young Wide
Awakes of that city. They escorted him to
the American, where he was rousingly
cheered by large concOurse Of citizens, and
appropriately greeted in neat speech by
Com. Este of the Wide Awakes. Gov. Chase
made happy reply, from which We clip the
closing paragraphs;
It need be the occasion of no regret that
the wish, to which you have alluded, OF the
Republicans Of Ohio, that l might be called
to another post, was not gratifed by the ac-
ton of the Republican National Convention.
No individual can have any claims to such
distinction; nor is any State entitled to any
consideration for whatever preference she
NAV express,-beyond that which the gener-
al interests of the cause, fully considered and
impartially weighed, may permit or require.
It is no matter Of regret with me that sucn
consideration Of the general good led our Ma
tional Convention to intrust the standard OF
Freedom during this campaign to the up

held and faithfully applied, viii make that
success permanent and permanently useful
to our country.
Yes, fellOw-citizens, we shall succeed. The
| spontaneous organization of the young men
Of the country into such Wide-Awake asso-
Citations as that which greets me tonight, is
at once the means and the pledge of victory,
And when we succeed-What them 2 Shall
we return evil for the injustice and calumny
TO which Republicans have been SO continu-
ally subjected? No, gentlemen, mol we
will try to prove that the success Of a
party may be the success Of the whole
people; that the triumph Of our cause is COM
Patible with the best interests of the whole
country; our triumph viii prove US just to
every portion of it, and generous to every
person who bears the name Of an American
citizen. Shall we invade, in the spirit ofsee-
tionalism, the rights Of any State? No Re
publican dreams of it. We shall stay the ex-
tension of Slavery, certainly, but we shall
respect the Constitution and every Constitu-
tional obligation. And when this intent
shall become apparent; when the bug bear of
Federal interference with the internal con-
Germs of the States, shall be expelled from the
public mind by an honest and patriotic Re
publican Administration, who can doubt
certainly do not d0ubt-that the days of
our old concord and mutual goodwill will
return; and that under the Constitution we
shall find Tranquility, Liberty and Union7
In bringing about such happy results, you
may rest assured of my earnest cooperation.
In such a noble work, am ready to go with
you as far as the farthest.

The elephants Victoria and Albert former
exhibited by Sands, Nathan Co., through
the country and in the Broadway Theatre,
New York, were taken to California about a
year and half ago by Dr. Bassett, and sold
to a travelling company. In June last in
crossing swift little river some two hundred
set across it was found impracticable to ferry
the huge animals over, and Albert took TO
the water followed by Victoria. The current
was SC strong that it took both elephants
down the stream about one mile, and over
the falls among the rocks. Victoria foated
ashore, and got out among the rocks, and
finding Albert missing she commenced
throwing her trunk up in the air, believing
so loud that she was heard two miles Of
She got so wild that the keeper was afrald
she would do some damage, consequently he
stuck the spear into her ear. The company
came running to assist in getting the elephants
out; and when they all got down where
they were, Albert was Just getting out him
self, and looking and acting very wild It
made great scattering; some jumping down

jumping into the river, hid himself under a
bush for so long atime that be lost the band
wagon, and was compelled to walk twelve
miles to Murpbys Camp. The keeperfnally
got both elephants together, and drove them
to town. They performed as well as ever,
apparently, and continued performing there
up to the 2lst Of June, when Victoria COM
menced to fan, and looked very bad out Of
her eyes. However, the proprietors did not
think that anything was the matter, more
than cold caught in the river, until the
company arrived in Iowa City, June 25th.-
There, she fell to rise no more. Albert was
trying to raise her with his trunk. but in
she was left with her
keeper and mate; and on June 2sth, at 6
o'clock, she died. Two physicians dissected
her to ascertain the cause of her death. She
was perfectly sound with the exception Of
her heart. That had been burst or broken
the day she lost her mate in the river. She
was buried in the first ring thstwas made in
that town. Her loss to her owner is supposed
to be SIS, 900. Great numbers of people as
sembled at her last resting place.

Fruits this season.

Small fruits, Strawberries, RaspberrieS
GoOseberries, Cherries, Ourrsnts, WhOrtle-
berries, Blackberries, etc, have been very
plentiful this season in the Lake region-yery
seldom more so. The Cleveland market has
been literally supplied at fair prices and
large quantities have been exported by rail-
roads and the Lake. The peOpleof the VI hole
country have literally feasted on fruits, and
the following paragraph from the Portage
County Democrat in regard 10 Windham,
may be taken as a iaig asmple;
It is estimated that not less than four hun
dred bushels Of fwhortleberFies have been gath
cred in this township, besides large quanti-
ties Of fblackberries-say two bushels TO each
family-and raspberries in abundance. In
sct there Is scarcely a family in town that
has not from two 10 four bushels Of some
kind Of berries. The reader can judge Of the
plentitude of blackberries this season from
the fact that one man in eight hours gathered
one bushsl Beat this who can.
The Peach, Plum, Apple and Grape crop
in all the Ohio Lake counties is very fine,
and in none more abundant than in little
Lake. The Painesville Press states that deal
ors are already traversing the county seek
ing the Apple crop and for some days have
been baTreling and sending westward the
HEarly Harvest" During the lastweek, the
Press says fruit dealers from New York, But
iAlo, Chicago, and Cincinnati, have been in
Lake county, anxious to contract for the en-
tire Peach crop.
Fruit growing is deservedly commanding
much and increased attention along this por-
ton Of the Southern shore of Lake Erie. No
section Of the West is better adapted in soil
and climate to fruit cultivation, or enjoys su-
psrior facilities for marketing at home and
abroad. Good fruits will command good
prices at all times and viii never go begging
for purchasers. Orchards are being rapidly
extended, and every tree, bush, root or vin'
of approved variety Of fruitput out and prop
erly cared for, is better than money at tel
Der cent.

a Wait % he Homo or .Tobu Bell.

A correspondent OF the New York Herald,
having visited John Bell ct bis home at Nash
vile, Tennessee, gives an interesting account
Of his observations and interview with that
gentleman. We make the following extract;
The Hon. John Bell, the Union Constitutional
candidate for the Presidency, resides with his
wife at the house of his stepsOn, Harry Yeat-
man, Esq, on Summer street Nashville He
formerly had quarters at the City Hotel, but
left a short time since 10 enjoy the quietude
of a more secluded home. His present resi-
dence is a pretty house with veranda and
shrubbory, situated few yards from the
sidewalk of one of the pleasantest streets in
Nashville. Mr.. Bell has been married twice.
His first wife was the daughter of wealthy
Tennesseean named Dickinson, residing in
Rutherford county. By her he had several
children, most Of whom are still living In
good circumstances, their grandfather having
been bountiful toward them, giving them
each $4,000 on his death. One Of his sons
Mr.. John Bell, Jr, was recently municipal
candidate for clerk Of the county Of Ruther-
ford. His second wife, who still lives in the
endowment Of excellent health, was formerly
a widow lady-Mrs. Yeatman-belonging to
one of the best families in Tennessee. Three
daughters have blessed this happy union, two
of whom, ladies of extreme beauty and mar
vellous intelligence, have adorned the fash
ionable circles of Washington and other
haunts Of the aristocracy OF the country for a
few years past
Mr. Bell and his wife are members Of DR.
Edgar's Presbyterian church. Mrs. Bell at
tends service quite regularly; but Mr.. Bel
diversifes his religious devotion at the Pres
bytery by occasionally dropping in at the
Baptist church. Mr.. Bell has third interes
in about four hundred slaves, the balance
belonging to his second wife. They ar
employed in Mr. Bells iron works, on th'
Cumberland river, and in his coal banks II
Kentucky. The system by which this larg,
body Of slaves is governed is admirable anC
humane. They are all properly clothed, fed
their religious instruction and moral cultur
attended to, and they are required to worl
not an hour beyond the usual standard of
days labor, unless they receive pay therefor
Although holding this property in slave;
Mr.. Bell is not considered a very wealth!
man, some unfortunate speculatiOns in Ken
lucky coal mines having exhausted torme
competency and left him embarrassed. Th
fortune Of his wife, is, however, ample an
well invested. The writer further states tht
Mr.. Bell expressed himself confident of tn
success of his party, either by the people
through the action ofone or the other branch'
Of Congress.
