CHILD LIFE.-We happened, recently, to
hear Of the following little episode in child
life. A lady in this city,-who is blessed with
four as handsome and intelligent children
as can be found in the public schools, -deeming
the conduct Of one of her sons, while at the
dinner table, deserving of instant punishment
rose from her chair, took the lad by the hand
marched him forth to the parlor and locked
him up in the closet. 1t happened that there
was ''sde" which communicated with the
dining room closet, through which he could see
his parents and his brothers and sisters at ia
Bile The child, in the course of a few mo-
ments cried out, "Mother, here is a note"
He had written upon piece of paper he had
found in the closet the following
"Dear MOther-are you going to let me out
Yours truly, OK"
The mother made'no response, and present
ly there was another note
:. "Dear mother-I am in the china closet and
Vi you don't let me out something may break.
Yours respectfully, OK"
This was a threat, and of course no firm
matron would be moved by it. Presently the
following appeared:
"My dear mother-Please let me out. If
you don't when | am released will go into
the street and catch the measles
Your aflectionate son. OK"
This note, though as threatening as the
other, made the mother melt, and master 90.

"THE HEAVENS DECLARE HIS Glory
During the last few years the atmosphere has
done quite its share for the entertainment of
the public. The magnificent comet which II
year and half ago swept through the heav.
ems with its luminous trail, eclipsing the bril-
liancy Of the stars, the aurora lights which
night after night last winter trembled and
quyered in the northern sky, shooting trans
parent spears of crimson and white from the
horizon to the zenith, the aerolites which occa.
sionaly fell to the earth, the tornadoes which
swept with resistless fury over our western
prairies and the eclipse which but the other
day excited the attention of the entire scien-
tfic world, have followed each other in rapid
succession, prompting some to more con.
slant study of the heavens for the secret of
these phenomena, others to more reverent
feeling of dependence upon Him by whose
command all things were made TINT were
made and terrifying others by the threatening
approach of those latter days--those times
propheslcd by Joel when wonders should be
shown in the sky, and when, according to ST.
Luke, fearful sights and great signs from
heaven" should appear

DEATH OF a VETERAN EDIToR.-Joseph
Gales, the veteran editor of the National In.
tellgencer died Saturday night of paralysis.
! He was born in England in 1856, where his
father published for seven years the Sheffield
Register. The elder Gales, being prosecuted
for his political principles, came to Philadel-
phia with his family in 1894, where he pur-
chased and published for time the lndepend-
ent Gazetteer. Having sold this to Samuel
Harrison Smith, he removed TO Raleigh, n. &.
in 1893, and commenced the publication OF the
Raleigh Register, which he continued success
fully for upwards of forty years, and died of
PARALYSIS in 1S41. Samuel Harrison Smith
started the National Intelligencer in 1901, and
Joseph Gales, now deceased, entered his office
as assistant in 1903. In 1909 he purchased the
establishment entire, and was Joined in 1872
by Col Seaton, his brotherin-law, in its man
agement Since that period the firm has re-
manned unchanged, and the publication Of the
Intelligencer has never been suspended but
once. 1t was warm, earnest, and able advo'
cate of the Madison war policy, seconding the
efforts of Clay and his compeers, and so pow
erful was its influence that when Gen. Ross, in
command of the British troops, entered the
capital after the affair OF Bladensburg, his first
inquiry was not for the capitol, the presidents
house, or the departments, but for the National
Intelligencer office, and it was the first estab
lishment demolished, causing a short cessation
in its regular publication. As an editor, Mr..
Gales was remarkable for dignity, courtesy,
and ability as citizen for his kind hearted
benevOlence and philanthropy, and his zeal in
behalf of every elevating and judicious i'm.
provement, and as an employer for his kind
ness and lberality. His political principles are
part of the history of the country. They were
those of the old republican and wing parties,
conservative and patriotic. His intellect was
of very high order, and finely cultivated,
and may be classed with those of Clay, Web
sterl Fisher Ames, and Lowndes, who were
among his compeers Mr.. Gales is to be
buried Tuesday from his country seat, Fixing
ton, near the city. There will be a large and
imposing procession as his excellent qualities
of head and heart endeared him above any and
all other men.

THE ANGEL GABRIEL IN CoURT.-In the
London Quarterly Review for April, an article
reviewing Horace Binney's pamphlet relating
to the old bar of Philadelphia, contains an an
ecdote of the late jeremiah Mason, which was
never in print before. 1t was told by David
Webster; Mr.. Mason was engaged in defence
of Methodist minister, by the name Of Avery
on a charge of murder. The professional char
acter of the prisoner interested deeply his
brother ministers, who in numbers attended
the trial. The case was serious, and the adj
vocate was absorbed intently watching the
progress of the evidence, carefully noting it
and observing its effects upon the jury, when
one Of these ministers, who would now be
called a spritualist, was led to his side, aud il
great agitation said "Mr. Mason, Mr., Mason
l have most important matter to communi
cate. The archangel Gabriel came to my bed
side this morning, and told me that brother
Avery was innocentp Without lifting eyes
Or pen from the paper, Mason replied, "Let
him be subpen@d Immediately, ''and continued
his work.

property to his only child a daughter, who at
forwards married Mr.. Nicely against his wish,
whereupon he made another WILL leaving his
negroes free and leaving most of his property

will. An hour after the case had gone to the
jury, Mrs Nicely proposed to receive $4,000,
and $1,000 which the will gave her the estate
to pay the court costs, $500, SHE to pay her
own lawyer $4,000 The proposition was ac-
cepted The negroes will be sent to Liberia.

SPELLING MATCH ON THE WESTERN RE
sERvE.-In this season of match games and
trials of skill, it is not proper that the physical
disciplinists should have all the glory. The
young people of Trumbull county, Ohio, had
a spelling match at Bazetta, few days ago,
the novelty of which, as well as its practical
benefits, nave given it a wide fame. 1t was a
Yankee notion altogether, enlarged and i'm
proved for the emergency. Each school dis
trct selected from its scholars its best speller.
Thirty-three schools were represented by their
champions at Bazetta, and three hours were
consumed before the contestants were spelled
down. -Four prizes were awarded of which
the first was Websters new unabridged. The
surrounding counties have taken the epidemic,
and spelling matches are on the wave in Ma
honing, Geauga, Portage, Columbiana, and
Ashtabua So that long and profitable
spell is anticipated.

Chestnut street, between Third and Fourth,
and the concourse OF pedestrians on their way
down town, were Mortified by the startling and
sudden death of boy, about twelve years of
age who fell from the roof of four story
house on the south side OF the way. His de.
scent was from the roof to the pavement, and
as he fell the blood spattered over the bricks
in a wide circle. A crowd soon gathered, who
gazed with curiosity and horror upon the man
gled remains as they lay in the dazzling sun
light, which glittered over the brilliant and
stirring thoroughare. The name of the boy
was John Kerns, and he was employed in II.

MI VERNON, Aug. 9Th, 1850.
EDITORS JOURNAL. i take pleasure IN
informing you, that we had to-day one of
the best speeches in defense of Republican
principles ever made in this town. 1t was
truly mastery argument.
Judge DeBruler had fine audience, the
Court House being completely filed, and a
large number of persons standing all
around the house outside, at every opening,
He was listened to with marked attention
for near two hours. His exposure of the
Squatter Sovereignty humbug was mas
terly.
Leading Democrats acknowledge it to
have been an able and ingenious argument.
Altogether the effect was very fine, and
made Judge DeBruler many friends. You
may set him down for very heavy vote in
old Posey- Yours, II.

THE CHATTAHooCHEE DRIED UP.-The Col
umbus (Ga.) Tunes says the Chattahoochee
is dried up to the depth and width of an or
binary creek:
As far up as the eye can reach there is
nothing but barren lodges of rocks some of
which have probably not been visible before
in the memory of the present generation
The melody of the rushing torrents that
usually play in such romantic grandeur
along this part of oar beautiful river, is
hushed and the cadence of its wild music
no longer lulls us TO repose at nightfall. 1t
is well worth n visit to behold the wonder
full change that has come over the spirit of
our rivers dreams in the last few months
One 90 disposed can walk along the bed of
the river for miles. The spectacle is a sad
one, and reminds US that our section is not
the only part of country that has suffered
from the dreadful effects Of the great drouth
Of 1860.

E~A writer in the Evansville journal
says the population of that city has in
creased 1852 per cent within the last de-
cade. He estimates the increase of Indi-
annapolis at $50 per cent. We incline to the
opinion that indianapolis has inc creased in
fully as great ratio as any other Indiana
city.-Ind. Jour.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to tell
whether the calculations of our correspon-
dent are correct or not. That in relation to
this city may be relied on. Now let the
Journal make IFS own calculations and pub
lsh the result. Take your census popula-
ton in 1850, then that of this year, and give
US the per cent. of increase. We challenge
any town in Indiana to compare their in
crease since last census with us.
