ueSlSHS -
Is there a nam in Ohio who does not know
that the courts would take hold of men rising
in such rebellion and hang them as fast as
gaIlewses could be erected?
Now, come out, you candidates who are
hunting Office, and let the people know wheth-
;er you are in earnest about doing as the
Southern rebels did after Lincoln's election,
or are you law sbiding men
We want the editor of the Times to come
out squarely and say whether he designs to be
a rebel, a seces %sionist, or whether he is a liar.
Everybody in the county knows that he pub
lished himself a liar once, and it is safe to
guess he would again confess himself a liar to
save his neck from a deserved halter.
IF there is an Abolitionists in Ashland
county, or elsewhere, who will join in tie
threatened rebellion, let him show his hand
that all may see the man who will declare him
self a traitor.
We know SEINE ~Nnprsneip1ed men will get
over this by sayirg the soldiers will do the
fighting. Have not the soldiers volunteered
TO sustain the,laxs instead of violating them
Are not a great member of the soldiers Demo
Gratis 2 Have they not as much fighting en-
hand now as they can attend to ? And will
not nearly all the returned soldiers vote the
Democratic ticket

h9r The Republicans have falsely accused
us, in order to conceal their own designs, of
importing voters just prior to the election. It
is discovered that they are importing Adolf
ton voters from Huron County to carry our
county election. Look out and challange men
as to their residences-MdnsfeH Shield.
Let the Democracy of Ashland county look
out for similar frauds. You cannot watch
Abolitionism too closely. The more despica-
BILE the game the more likely they are to en-
gage in it. Watch them well.

Remember that one vote may give Ohio to
and pledge all her great energies to
the mad schemes of War and dissolution in
which the Abolition Administration is engaged;
and that one vote may give her to Yallandig-
ham and secure her powerful influence for
Peace and the restoration of the Union our
fathers bcqueathed us. As you value the
lives of your fathers, sons and brothers and
regard the prayers and tears of their mothers,
wives and children, Leu taat vote be cast for
Peace

That every vote cast for BRoUGH will be an
invitation to the rebels to prolong the war,
for then separate independence to the last ex-

strong party in the North who hate the old
Union as much as they do, and are just as
strongly resolved to break it up.

prolongation of the war. He is inter ,sted in
a railroad, that has made and is making a
large amount of money by transporting troops

prolonged as long as possible, no matter hcw
much or how intensely the people may be
made to suffer thereby.

Tie abolition paper in this place threatens
to rebel and kick up a civil war if VALLANDIa-
HAM is elected Governor. John Brough, in one
of his drunken sprees, intimated that if he was
defeated Va~llandigham's Inauguration would
be resisted by force. There is no man will,
sense enough to last a pig over night believes
there is any danger of the aboliti onists attempt
ing to execute this threat. 1t is designed to
scare timid men from voting their sentiments.
1t is perfectly harmless-no person regards it
but it shows the infamy and reasonable
feelings of the men who make it. The people
who do the voting want a little information
from these gentry. If the Democracy are sue
cessful will the editor of the Times arm and
equip himself to resist the expressed will of
the people Of Ohio, or Of the county of Ash
land, and "pour out the last drop of his blood"
to rreveut Dem ocrats legally elected from
being lawfully installed into office? will any
man on the Republicau ticket engage in a war
of rebellion against a people who show them
selves to be in the majority at the ballot box ?

seThe fish which Inhabited those Silver
Ranks r 'four,d as different in kind az the.

s'The fish which Inhabited those Silver
Banks, I found as different in kind, as The
scenery was varied. They were of all
forms, colors and .sizes-from the symme.
trical body, to the globelike sun fish !; from
those Of the dullest hue to the changeable
dolphin from Che spots of the leopard, to
the hnes of the sunbeam from the harm
less minnow, TO the voracious shark. =
Some had heads like squirrels, others like
|catsand dogs one Of small size resem-
bled the bull terrier. Some darted
through the water like meteors, while
others could scarcely be seen TO move.
To enumerate and explain all the vari-
GUS kinds of fish I beheld, while diving
ON these banks would, were enough of q
naturalist so to do, require more space
than my limits will allow, for | am con-
WINGED that most of the kinds of fish which
inhabit the tropical seas, can be found
there. The sun6sh, sawfsh, starfsh,
white shark, ground shark, blue or shovel
nose shark, were often seen. There were
also fish which resemble plants, and re-
manned as fixed in their position as a
shrub. The only power they possessed
was to open and shut when in danger
Some of them resembled the rose in full
bloom, and were of all hues. '.' 80 "
There were the ribbon fish, from four
to five inches to three feet in length
Their eyes are very large, and protrude
like those of the frog. Another fish was
spotted like the leopard, from three to ten
feet in length. They build their houses
like the beaver, in which they spawn, and
the male or female watches the egg until
it matches. I saw many specimens of the
green turtle some FIVE feet long, which I
should think would weigh from 400 to
500 pounds.

A Bad Bargain.

A tall aWkWard-l0oklng cnap, just from
the green mountains of Vermont, came on
board one Of the splendid North River
boats at Albany, His curiosity was anna
|zingly excited at once, and he commenced
"psaking," as he called it, into every
nook and corner of the boat. The cap
tain's Office, the engine room, the. water
closets, the BARRIERS shop, all underwent
his inspection, and then he went on deck
and stood in amazement at the lever, beam,
the chimneys and the various "fxins,..
till at last he caught sight Of the BELL
This was the browning wonder, and he
viewed it from every position, walked
around it, got down on his knees and
looked up into it, and exclaimed:
"Wall, rally, this beats the bell on our
Westinghouse darned sight" By this
time, the attention of the captain and sew
eral of the passengers was attracted to
this genius. ''' ia S-- t'.I 49, =

Our hero deliberately brought q seat
and took hold of the bell-rope, and hav-
ing arranged everything to his satisfaction,
commenced ringing, slowly at FIRST, and
gradually faster and faster, till everybody
on board thought the boat was on FIRE, and
rushed on deck, screaming with alarm.
There stood the captain, and there sat the
"Varmounter," ringing. away, first SLOW
and then fast, and then two or three taps
at time. The passengers began 10 ex-
postulate ;sthe captain said it was bar
gain. But the passengers became urgent
that the eternal clamor should be stopped.
All the while there sat our hero undisturb-

Be KIND TO ALL.-In our intercourse
with our fellow men, we should ever be
aetuated by spirit of kindness and love.
We have our troubles and trials, and, as
we pass along through life, they multiply
and increase. Life's pathway may be
strewn with roses, but the thorns are
found there also. How often is the spirit
bowed beneath the accumulated burden Of
sorrow, anxiety, and care, and who, by an
unkiud word or an unkind act, would
crush the already overburdened spirit, or
add another pang to the sad and weary
heart? We little dream how delicately
organized is the human soul; how much
it sympathizes with its earthly tabernacle,
and how slight an influence will ope-
rate on it, affecting it for good Or evil,
raising it to happiness and delight, or
crushing it in misery and despair.

VOL. VIIs--NO aI3r
::::.., The Bright Side.

1 Look on the bright side--it is the right.
The times may be hard, but it will make
them no easier TO wear q gloomy and sad
countenance. It is the snnshipe, and not
the cloud, that makes the flower. There
is always that before or around us which
should cheer and gil the heart with
warmth. The sky is blue ten times where
it is black once, You have troubles, it
may be; SO have others. None are free
from them. Perhaps it is as well that
none should be free from them. They give
sinew and tone to life-fortitude and cour-
age to man. That would be dull sea,
and the sailor would never get skill, where
there was nothing to disturb the surface
of the ocean. 1t Is the duty of every one
to extract all the happiness and enjoy
ment he can, without and within him
and above all, he should look on the bright
side Of things. What though things do
look little dark The lane will turn,
and the night will end in broad day. In
the long run, the great balance rights
itself. What is i'll becomes well-what
is wrong, right. Men are not made to
haug,down either heads or lips, and those
whosdo, only show that they are departing
from the paths of true common sense and
right. There is more virtue in one sun
beam than whole hemisphere Of clouds
and gloom. as Therefore, we repeat, look
on the bright side of things. Cultivate
whatis warm and genial-not the cold
and repulsive, the dark and morose.

BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN

Mr.. Greer, the famous diver, tells sim
gular stories of his adventures, when
making scar h in the deep waters of the
ocean. He gives some new sketches of
what he saw at the Silver Bank near Hay
ii = ....-. III.
"The banks of coral on which my div
ings, narrated in the previous chapter,
were made, are about forty miles in
length, and from ten totwenty in breadth.
s3On this bank of coral is presented to
the diver one of the most beautiful and
sublime scenes the eye ever beheld. The
water varies from ten to one hundred feet
in depth, and so clear that the diver can
see from two to three hundred feet when
he is submerged, with but little obstruc-
ton to the sight. n4n,
"The bottom of the ocean, in many
places on these banks, is as smooth as a
marble floor, in othersait is studded with
coral columns, from TED to one hundred
feet in height, and from one to eighty feet
in diameter The tops of those more lof-
ty support myriad of pyramidal PEN
dants, each forming myriad more Civ
ing the reality to the imaginary abode of
some water nynph. La other places the
pendants form arch after arch, and as the
diver stands ON Tho bottom of the ocean,
and gazes through. these in the deep wind
ing avenue, he finds that they fill him with
as sacred an awe, as if he were in some
old Cathedral, which had long been buried
beneath "old oceans wave" Here and
there, the coral extends even to the, sur
face Of the water, as if those loftier col
umns were towers belonging to those state
" temples that are now in ruins. : 4''s
aThere were countless varieties Of d.
minutive trees, shrubs and plants in every
creyice of the corals, where the water had
deposited the laast earth, They were all
Of faint hue, owing to the pale light
they received, although of every shade,
and entirely different from plants I ain
familiar with that vegetate upon dry land.
One in particular attracted my attention
it resembled o sea fan of immense size; Of
Ivariegated colors, and of the most brill
liant bue. 8yf,trs
