The SHOOTING FIsH.-This very remarkable fish is
a native of the East Indies. Nature mas constructed
this AQUATIC sportsman in a very singular manner,
but one admirably adahted TO his sporting predllec-
tons. The fish has a hollow, cylindrical beak. He
frequents the rivers or the sea-shore in search of food,
and from the unusual manner in which he provides
for his daily wants he derives his name. When this
hungry gentleman espies a fly or an insect not taking
due care of himself, but sitting on the plants that
grow in shallow water, he swims away 10 the distance
of four or FIVE, and often of six feet, that he may take
aim at his prey and when he had done so 10 his
satisfaction, he then, with amazing dexterity and
cleverness, elects ont of his tube like mouth one drop
of water, which is so well-directed and so swiftly
shot forth, that it never fails 10 knock the Hy into the
water, and once there all hope OF escape is gOne-the
fish darts upon his prey. and eagerly devours 1t
thus supplying us with another instance of the d-
versi6ed modes by which Nature qualities its count
less millions of creatures with the powers necessary
for procuring food.

Hit ,eall Again.

Every publisher Of county newspaper
will appreciate the force Of the following
extract from somewhat bilious article
which appears in the Oregon Times:
Men will come to the offices and solicit
a place in the columns for advertisements,
and desire the editor to furnish the brains
to write out the "ad," and stand over tho
printer, and constantly annoy him with d.
rections about thestyle oftype be must use,
and tbe amount Of display; and when tho
advertisement appears in print, they will
have some fault 10 find about some font Of
letter, or some other very unimportant
particular, which they imagine is not Just
to their Taste. But when payday comes,
they will tell you that they can't pay money
for advertising they cant pay you such rates,
they can get tho same amount in Boston,
New York or San Francisco for half the
money; printers bills are always bore
advertising does them no good, and threaten
TO stop the paper and the advertisement,
and give their patronage to another il the
amount ofthe bill is insisted upon, DC, until
the publisher is weary and disgusted with
bis patron, aud concludes TO take half the
value Of his labor, and thus be done hearing
bis heartless excuses.

The peace Democrats deny the doctrine Of
the swar power" OF that the President has auy
right to exercise powers in war that are denied
TO him in time Of peace They scout the ~war
power" as a myth, an abstraction which means
nothing and confers no authority upon the Ad-
ministration. In lieu Of any eontemporaneous
testimony upon this point, let us quote from one
whose authority TO speak upon this or any other
question Of national policy, no one viii care to
question--john Quincy Adams. In 1886, dur
ing debate in the House of Representatives,
Mr.. Adams said:
~Sir. in the authority given To Congress by
the Constitution Of the United States TO declare
war, ali the powers incidental to war are, by
necessary implication, conferred upon the Gov.
ernment Of the United States. Nov, the powers
incidental to war ara derived, not from their in
ternal municipal course, 6St from 1ho Eass and
asages Of nations.

The body of young man, named "Johny"
was found dead on the steps of the fremont
House last Friday night at late hour. The
alarm was given-medical aid procured. Oh |
horrid On examination it was found that he
was "shot IN tho neck" The wound dressed, he
was placed in bed in an upcOncious condition.

Tho words of q PnlrInr.

Gerrit Smith closed recent speech in
the following noble words, which are fit to
be adopted in the creed of all true patriots
"My hearers we will all stand by the
Government-will we mott Although
some Of us are Democrats and some Repub-
licans and some Abolitionists, zoe wW nev-
ertheless lock hands as americans aoill
iOe nots We will, all Of us, notwilbstand-
ing our Iarty divisions and party interests,
generously and periodically band ourselves
together TO crush this causeless and accur-
sed rebellon-will we mott Would that
we might this night feel more deeply than
ever that it is not by the rebels that we
can be conquered, but only by ourselves.
Nothing is truer than that tho life of the
rebellion is 10 disunion at the North.
Nothing is truer than it would findits death
in Union at tho North.
Ere taking my seat let me remind you Of
our duty to stand by our army-by the
brave men who have gone out from among
us to suffer every hardship and TO face every
peril in the high and holy work of suppress
ing the most nefarious of all conspiracies.
But the way to stand by them is to stand
by the Government they serve. To desert
the Government is to desert them. Our
soldiers bid us stand by the Government
they arc afflicted that so many of us do
not. They are indignant ut the divisions
by which we encourage the foe, aud make
him abler TO drive back and slaughter our
friends. Such hcartlessDess toward them
selves as well as towards the country is very
unlike that reward Of sympathy, gratitude
and love on which they counted when they
went forth to fight her battles. Our slain
soldiers, could they speak, would bid us
stand by the Governmtnt. Our tens Of
thousands Of broken families, weeping over
those who went to the army never more to
return from it, bid us stand by the Govern.
ment. The enlightened friends of freedom
and righteousness the earth over, bid us
stand by the Government. And loud above
all, comes down tho voice out of Heaven
Stand by the Government Stand by the
Government"

At4 O'Clock on the morning Of the I'd Of JAM
uary last, our residence was broken into by two
burglars, and property to the value Of $l70 0O
stolen; consisting mostly of money and silver
watch. We saw both the men and chased one
of them from our house. Nothing in regard "a
the burglars could be ascertsincd, and we sup.
posed never would be.
On the evening of the 5th inst, we received
telegram from the Sheriff of Cleveland to com,
there Immediately. On arriving there we learn
ed that colored man, Frisbee Washington, hat
been arrested tried, convicted and sentenced fo
grand larceny, to the Penitentiary for years
Before he was taken to Columbus be told Sher
if Lewis Of some Of his operations. That a
Fremont, on the night of the LIST Of January
he, with another colored, man George Gordy
then in Cleveland, broke into two houses, from
one of which they got nothing, from the othe
they made good thing, including money andi
silver watch. That the papers were all destroy
ed and the watch they sold to an Englishman il
Adrian, Michigan. Gordy was Immediately ar.
rested by Sheriff Lewis On seeing Gordy wt
recognized him as the man we had chased out
of our house, but as none of the stolen property
was found on him, we could not hold him. He
was accordingly discharged from custody, but
City Marshal Gallagher's Police kept a good
eye On him, for further developments.
We took cars that night for Adrian, al q by IL
o'clock the next day ascertained that two color
ed men bearing the description of Washington
and Gordy had sold such a watch as was stolen
from our residence. We telegraphed the Sher-
if of Cleveland to re-arrest and hold Gordy,
which was promptly done. The Englishman
who bought the watch of the burglars, had sold
tito farmer, Jacob Hiler, for COW, Hiler trades
watches with his neighbor, Jason Angel, Hiler,
sells his watch to another neighbor for rife.
We found our watch in the possession of Angel.
Owing TO the distance which those men lived
apart in the country, and the horrid state of the
roads, we did not succeed in getting possession
of the watch until about noon Of the 9th. We
described it so truly that every man through
whose hands it had passed was convinced that il
was our property, and the evidence is conclus.
i've that Washington and Gordy sold it to the
Englishmau; and we are positive that Gordy is
the man we chased out of our ROOM He
Monday night we returned to Fremont, and
on Tuesday night brought GOrdy and delivered
him to Sheriff Ferguson, Of this county On
Wednesday Gordy was examined before Justice
Ira Smith and committed for trial at the next
term Of Common Pleas Court. Washington and
Gordy were both discharged from the O. P. at
Columbus, in December last.
We take occasion to thank Chief Marshal Of
the Police M. GaIlager, Sheriff Lewis, and his
depaty. Whitney, of Cleveland, and U. s. Mar
shal, j. R. Bennett Of Adrian, for their efficient
services in assisting in unraveling the complex
matter and bringing the culprit to justice.
