is with pleasure learn that the Hamilton
county delegation will propose the name
Of William Henry Smith, Esq, for that Of
foe. 1t is no dispsrsgsment to the other
eminent gentlemen named to say that Mr..
Smith possesses peculiar qualifications for
that post. Long connected with the press
Of Southern Ohio, he has no enemies, and,
although, of quiet and unobtrusive man
ners, he has won for himself high place
in the Union ranks. Learned, able, and
Of the highest integrity, he would bring 70
the place that industry and devotion to the
public service so much needed in these
perilous times Besides, it would be
most fitting rebuke TO the Vallsndighsm

Z EDITOR OF LEADEE:-Ou community
with singular unanimity are in favor of
Hon. James Monroe, for Congress. TIE
following are some of the reasons that in
duce our people to prefer him:
First, He is sound to the core on all the
vital Issues Of the day.
Second, His matchle's elOquence and
able statesmsnship, in both the House OF
Representatives and Senate of Ohio, won
for him not only the esteem and affection
of his constituents, but gave him an envi-
stle reputation throughout the State.
Third, He is our most popular man.
Fourth, He is our sblest man.
In view Of these reasons, and the needs
Of the times, up goes our hat for the pride
Of the 14th Congressional District and the
pet Of Old Lorain, James Monroe.

All the shops we're closed; the first men

At the late Spiritual Convention in New
York City the revOlutionizing spirit Of the
universal Yankee genius wss exhibited in
q new light. A young man, whose OrstOry
may have been spirituOus, but which was
not spiritual, expressed himself to the ef-
feet that they were about instituting s
mighty reform, and should see that it be
comes practical They should preserve
their manhood. Whether they go to hes
ven or to hell, let them go with their man
hood. Ito the latter place, they would
rise to the dignity Of their intellects, and
revOludOniEs hell. [Grest applause; cries
Of i've Wilt
This young man, whose sulphury pyrO-
technics sspired into an equality with
MolOOh himself, evidently has an exalted
estimate Of manhood.
The dignity Of his intellect is reached
only in the great work Of revOlutioniEing
he'll. We suspect that the young man who
desires such an unusual employment, has
Bpsnt little time in revolutioni1ing him
self II, as Milton says, hell is within US,
we would cordially commend similar mis-
sionsry labors 10 others Of The same ilk as
the young man. No doubt an ample

-
It was the remark OF q very wise man,
that life without books would be misers-
bic indeed. Ali men would not feel soi
but the average American citizen, who has
had the advantages Of good Common
school education, can sympathi1s with the
remark.
There are hundreds Of young men and
young ladies, Of boys and girls, in the
city Of Cleveland who have no realization
of the immense stores Of happiness and
knowledge which are on the shelves Of the
Library Association. Not knowing the
advantages to be derived from the Libra
ry, they give themselves up to the pleas
ure and vanities with which city is al
ways filed.
Without being statistical in our remarks,
We wish simply to say to the young men
and women of Cleveland, to the boys and
girls who have the least interest in read
ing or who are anxious to acquire taste
for this noble reerestion, no better advsn-
tages can be offered than are found in the
Cleveland Library. During the daytime
snd evening, access is granted to its am
ply filed shelves and we'll supplied read
ing room, for very small sum.
II young men, instead of hsbitually at
tending places of questionable amusement
or dissipating money and morals round
town." will resolve to spend portion Of
heir leisure hours in reading, they will
find in the course Of few months that
hey have made themselves better, wiser,
and more efficient in everything pertain
ing to the practical duties Of life.
The possession Of knowledge is Of great
value often in deciding the fitness Of an
individual for promotion in any Of
the varied walks Of life. The absence Of

braries as this in Cleveland, is often ia.
tai to the business or professional progress
Of young men. We merely wish to make
suggestion at this time to all classes
,bst much useful snd entertaining
knowledge may be obtained BY patron
iSing the large and well selected library
Of the Library Association.
We shall recur to the subject again with
the hope Of inducing many who spend
their leisure hours in trivial and possibly
injurious recreation, to turn their stten.

A New Method of Planting Corn

A New Method OF Planting oern
Mr.. z. Breed, of Weare, N. H.,
states in the Neae England Farmer
that he has raised corn planted IN
the following manner for three years,
and that the result has been SO favor
able that he can confdetly recommend
it to his brother farmers:
"After my ground is well prepared
by manuring, plowing, and narrowing,
I drill it ene way with small plow.
Into this drill | put whatever com
post or manure is intended for the
hill, and mix it thoroughly with the
soil with an instrument made by attach
ing two or three of Shares harrow
teeth to a joist four inches square and
and four feet long, with handles at
one end and a hitching place at the
other. Z After this operation the corn
is strewn all along the drill at the rate
of four to six kernels to the foot. A
pillow is then used to cover the whole,
in soil tolerable free from stones.
"When the corn is up sufficiently
to see the rows, the same little plow
is run on either side of it, turning a
furrow from the corn. In week or
so cultiyator is run through and the
soil is again leveled. When it gets
up a little too big for the crows, and
the worms have got their share, with
n deXtrous use of the hoe it is thinncd
to about eight inches, and left stand
ing in as straight a row as possible.
When ten or twelve inches high the
same little plow is used to turn a fur
row against either side of the corn.
With little practice the weeds may
be nearly all covered and destroyed.
l have actually raiseda good crop of
corn and not used the hoe at all, and
at harvest one could not find three
bushels of weeds to the acre"
