Mr.. EDITOR:
A little incident recently
transpircd in this community which | think
should be put on record. John Croco be-
longed to the Ohio volunteer militia. When
the call to arms was made, John, although
a loyal man, like Bob Akers, allowed his
courage to ooze out at the ends of his fin
gers. In short, hired substitute, The
night, before. the men were to go away
John substitute called at Mr.. Jones for
lodging; but there being already about a
dozen lodging there room was scarce and
he he was advised to go to Croco's and stay.
co refused to keep him, saying that he had
payed him his money and he had nothing
further to do with him, and concluded by
sending him back to Jones', where he at
last secured accommodations Mr.. Croco
is a wealthy man, has large house, and is
in favor of the war for the niger if some
body else fights it.
Yours Respectfully,
PRAIRIE.

FITs.-The most expensive luxury in the
way of sickness is fits. A few years since
some long nosed people took fit that it
would be nice to drive slavery out of the
United States. We omit the balance of
this article, lest we be arrested for treason.
The way to do it is to wipe it out with blood,
mop the blood up with greenbacks, and
throw the mop away!

A COOP CoMPARIsoN.-O of the New
York papers compared the publisher of a
newspaper who allows his paper to go to all
parts of the country before getting pay for
it, to farmer who would sell his wheat on
credit, and not more than single bushel to
any one person. Ifany farmer will try the
experiment of thus distributing the pro-
ceeds of his labor over two or three coun-
ties, with an occasional bushel or two to far
distant States, for one year, we will guaran-
tee that he will never, after that years ex-
perience, ask publisher to supply him
with paper year or two without the pay
for it

WHAT WILL NAPOLEON Do NExr?-The Eu-
ropean journals, while commenting upon the
Danish war and its consequences, seem one
and all to scan eagerly the movements Of the
Emperor Of the French, hoping thereby to OBJ
tain q clue to his probable intentions in this
matter. II is matter of history that Napoleon
has assumed the role Of defender OF oppressed
nationalities, and hence it may readily be cx-
pected that he should aid poor little Denmark.
He entered into the Crimean war to gave the
nationality Of Turkey, inducing England to
join with him. He fought the Austrians that
Italy might not lose her nationality; and, al
though the Italians went far ahead of bis
provisions on that score, this is no reason why
be should abandon the Danes to their fate Or
has the role Of Napoleon changed, Has the
empire abandoned the cause Of natlonalities?
We might judge so when we see Poland left to
struggle unaided against the attacks Of the
Gear, Denmark In danger of annihilatIon by
Germany, and lastly, though not least, Mexico
about to lose her nationality and come under
the rule Of German prince, who shall be up
held by French bayonets. We await with
interest the development of Napoleon's policy
on this Danish war, as upon him depends its
settlement.
