LET the Democrats Of Ohio rejoice-lel
the friends of peace everywhere rejoice, that
Ohio will stand in the Chicago Convention al
most unanimous for psace-a peace candidate,
and peace platform"
Thus jubilantly shouts the old rsprcbate OF
the 'Crisis" over the alleged selection Of a
majority of peace men TO represent the De-
mecracY of Ohio in the Chicago Convention,
and that toe with full knowledge that sub
mission TO the rebellion and ths aeknsvIedR-
ment of the rebel Oonfederaey are the onIy
terms upon which peace is attainahle. This
e1ultant shout appears in the same number of
his paper in which it is announced that the
loyal State Of Maryland is being everrun by
rebel hordes, her citizens robbed their houses
plundered and burnt, and the Ma tionaI Capt.
tai in imminen danger of falling into their
hands Truly this is strange time to in
dulge in exultation over triumph Of those
who propose to succumb TO the rebels in arms
against the Government, and he who thus ex-
nltH must have strange idea OF what consti-
tutes patriotism and loyalty.

In masy localities active efforts are being
made, and with considerable success, to raise
men by volunteering and thus avoid a draft.
The new eonseription law repeals the $500
Gommutation clause and requires the person
drafted 10 serve himself or furnish a sub
stitute. 1t also authorizes the payment OF a
bounty TO recruits Of 9lOO to those who
volunteer fer one year, 5000 TO two year men,
and $500 to those who enter for three gears.
To these bounties additions are made by pri-
vate contributions and local levies, and thus
inducements are offered which it is hoped will
insure success in raising men. The follow
ing paragraph on the subject OF local bounties
contains suggestions worthy Of consideration
at this time
By law passed last winter, townships and
ward trustees are authorized to levy tax up
to 500 for giving bounties to volunteers
Let this bounty now be raised and let agents
be set TO work Immediately. What townships
and wards can raise, added to the Govern
meni bounty, will soon Gil up the quotas
There is 10 chance for Misunderstanding now.
The entire strength Of the nation, through the
loyal representatives, is given 10 ths Govern
ment. 1t remains to be seen whether town
ships and wards will renew their efforts to
avoid all drafting.

The sinking of the Alabama By the Kear
sarge has attracted a large share Of public at
tention in Europe, nstwithat anding til {
threatening aspect of affairs among themselves,
The summary manner in which the KearssrQe
performed the task assigned her, has caused
no little sensation in oficiaI circles, especially
in England and France, showing as il does 10
those arrogant powers "and the rest of man.
kind" that an American man-of-war as at
present constructed, armed aud worked, would
prove troublesome customer 10 encounter bv
anything that floats. The occurrence has af.
forded another striking exemplifcation of the
hostility of the aristOcracy or ruling class to
the North and their sympathy for the South.
The Alabama was to all intents and purposes
an English vessel, and except the Captain and
a few of his officers and men. everything
about her was British. In discussing the
fight tho Press Of England, with very few ex-
ceptions, speak of the defeat of Ssmmss az
though it were defeat Of British com.
mander. The following sxtract from the
London Herald may be taken as a sample Of
the character OF their comments:
The Kearsarge was terribly in
jured in the fight, mauy large gaps in her side
attesting tho accurate aim of the gunners, some
of whom were instructed on board her Maiss-
ty's ship Excellent. Many of the crew OF the
Alabama must have bssn killed and drowned.
It is much to be feared that the young Eng
lish Surgeon was engaged in his humane du-
ties in the cabin when the ship settled down.
We cannot but feel grieved at the loss of the
brave ship, which was almost as much EngIis6
as Confederate, in whose defense We may recog-
niHe the bulldog courage OF our countryrnen
as well as the chivalrous impetuosity of her
Southern commander. The news of this com
bat will, we fear, carry Imourning into more
than one English home But in the end Of the
gallant ship-t0l,icL tCas English too-there
IS after all, little to regret, much of which to
be proud. She sank unconquered aud defiant
N the waters Of the channel, refusing to the
ast to lower her flag, leaving no trophy in /
he hands of her enemy.

Paw Your S25 and $50!

Those liable to the Draft in this Bo-
rough will only have until next Monday,
the Sth inst, in which to pay in your s25
aud $50 and have the benefit of $3.50, in
case they are drafted. IF we fail to fll
our quota, a draft viii certainly take
place, and if we pay in our assessment OF
s25 or $50 We will be entitled to $500,
if we put in a substitute, or 90 ourselves
into the army after being drafted. No
one should fail to pay in promptly their
assessment. They can do nothing bet
ter. In all probability an act will be
passed compelling all liable to military
duty to pay $25 and $50 each. And thus,
if our quota should be filed, they viii be
by law to do what every one
should be willing to do untarily. So
in any event they car gain nothing by ne
glecting to pay IN their respective assess
ments. But by paying up promptly will
help greatly to Eli the quota, and in case
Of draft viii save 1915 or $50 Those
who paid in s25 towards filing our quo

are now required to pay but s25, but
those who then neglected to pay their as

A Child Fascinated by a Snake.

One day last week, in Warronville,
Ohio, a girl having a child in charge, left
1T in baby-wagon, drawn up by the side
OF the road, for few minutes, whilst she
went to a neighboring house. A man
coming by soon after was attracted BY a
peculiar noise and by the singular condi-
ton OF the child, which was gazing very
lntently, with fascinated gaze, into a
tree overhanging the road On looking
up, he saw huge black snake coiled a.
round the tree, and looking directly into
the eyes of the child, whilst its distended
jaws and quivering fangs evidenced its
hostile intent. The man had no weapons
with which to attack the snake. so he
raised an alarm, which soon brought a
number of the neighbors to the spot
Weapons were procured aud the snake
speedily killed. The reptile was found
to be about the thickness of man IS wrist,
and measured over five feet in length.
