SEARCHING FOR HIS BoDY.-A prominent
citizen of this city, who was a strong ''neu-
trality" man a short time ago, took some
delight then in declaring that if ever any
troops crossed the Ohio River, it would be
done over his dead body. Yesterday, after
the passage of the Thirty-fifth and Four
teenth Ohio Regiments through our streets,
several personal friends of the aforesaid gem
tleman deemed it prudent to go down to the
river and bring away the remains of their
deceased friend, but the dead BODY" was
nowhere to be foundl 1t has since been as
certained that the neutrality" gentleman is
entirely safe, having declined to dispute,

at the depot of the Kentucky Central Rail-
| road this morning, awaiting the arrival of
the morning train, it having been reported
that the notorious Morey, of the Cynthisna
| NeWs, was on board. The spectators were
disappointed, however, as Morey. has not
ism and signifed his willingness to take the
oath of allegiance to the United States Gov

sudden and wholesome effect is produced By
Federal bayonets.

citizens that amid all the excitements at
tending the war, the Sabbath School at the
Valley School-house, on Green. street. be-
