a cow DRINKS EIGHTEEN GALLONS or WHISKY.

The Troy, Times, of Friday, gives a
most remarkable case of "beastly' intoxi-
cation: 1t seems that on the upper part
of Green Island an illicit whisky still"
existed, until yesterday, when Marshal
Kipp together with Collector Woodward,
made a raid on the premises, and locked
UP both the owner and the door. A
month ago the distillery was in full blast.
It was a still" night, and the man run
ming the machine, who hadmade eighteen
gallons of whisky, put it out in the, open
air to cool. Along came a cow-a thirsty
cow, and the beverage looked inviting
She swallowed every drop, eighteen gall
of ~unrectifed whisky, warranted to
kill at forty rods. That COW has been
drunk ever since. She staggered home
and is now in the fourth week of a grand
old bender. The cow eats nothing; falls
down whenever they try to raise her up,
and has become as lean as a crow instead
of a cow. Whether the COW will ever
get sober or end her career in a fit of de-
Iirium tremens, is a questionWe shalllook
anxiously to see the solution of: Tt is
really a remarkable case, and we should
scarcely believe it if our informant was
not connected with the telegraph, and, of
course, perfectly reliable.

MISSING SOLDIERS.

We hear that Miss Clara Barton,
daughter of Judge Barton of Worcester,
Mass, who has obtained national repute
by publishing a list of missing soldiers,
and by her heroic deeds to the wounded
in battle, and even under fire, left this
city on Friday, on a government vessel,
with a party for the purpose of inclosing
the area of ground at Andersonville
where so many Federal prisoners perish
ed from want and exposure, and of put
conceivess that she has a suitable list of
the deceased, and has accordingly obtain
ed seventeen thousand head boards for
the purpose. This grand design of phil
anthropy will require a long period of
hard toll for its accomplishment, and
most sincerely do we hope that she may
be rewarded with perfect success Wash

Many of the former shareholders in
the late rebellious States, though CON
ceding that slavery is dead, seem to re-
gard the rigid and oppressive laws adopt
ed by States and local municipal author
tiles for the government of slaves and
free blacks, as still in force, and the
blacks are seriously annoyed by the eff
forts constantly being made to hold them
amenable to those laws. They are also
oppressed and imposed upon in various
ways by their former masters, some Of
whom refuse to employ them at all-oth-
ers give them a mere pittance for their
labor-in some cases they are defrauded
by asserting to contracts they do not
compreherd-and in other cases, while
the young and strong are retained at
small wages, the old and inhrm, who
have spent their years of health and
strength in working for a mere subsist-
ence, are turned off and driven from the
plantations, and compelled to look out
Tor themselves. Having always insisted
that the slaves if freed could not take
care of themselves, these late masters are
making every possible effort to make
good their declaration by persecution and
fraud, and if left alone and not interfered
with, they would soon render the condition
the blacks more intolerable than slavery
itself. But our military commanders are
taking the matter in hand, and netting
cut Justice to both whites and blacks
Orders have been issued, in the several
military departments of the South, de-
claring the slave codes of the States
abolished with slavery, f~orbidding the
restrictions imposed upon the blacks, de-
claring fraudulent contracts void, re-
quiring those who employ the blacks to
pay them fair wages, and ~forbidding the
off on the part of former masters
of old and infrm persons. The Govern
ment having declared the blacks free. it
will protect them in their rights as free
men. /!

Iroalplr Eau nAn ACCIDENT.

The Columbus Statesman of Saturday
the 18th, gives the following:
One of the most distressing railroad
disasters that has occurred IN tins section
of the State for many years, took place on
the Central Ohio RaiiToadyesterday morn
ing. The passenger express tram NO. .
left the depot In this city going east, at Az
AN, laden principally with discharged
soldiers. who were returning to their
homes. 4.
When the train had arrived at a point
about one mile west of Columbia IN Lick
ing county, and eighteen or nineteen
miles east of this city, a truck OF the en-
CINE was broken, and the consequence
was that the train came to a sudden halt,
the cars ran into each other, and a gener-
al smash-up took place.
The scene that followed was most ap-
p~alling. Eight persons were killed out
right. Six of them were soldiers OF the
18th o. V, L, who the day before a re-
ceived their discharge at Camp chase
Of the other two, one, we understand, was
a clergyman from Illinois, and the other,
an employe on the road.
Nineteen or twenty others were wound
ed. OF these we'learn that three were
not expected to survive. Some of them
were horribly mangled and mutllated, and
several had to have their wounded limbs
amputated. A portion of the dead and
wounded we're taken eastward to their
friends. and others were brought back to
this city. We understand that all the
killed and wounded were on heplatforms
of the cars at the time when the accident
occurred.
The State journal adds:
The train was In charge of Conductor
A. II. Condit, who makes the statement
that before starting, and while the train
was in motion, he repeatedly warned the
soldiers off the platform, but they still,
with soldier ~pertinacity, held their posi-
tion.
The engineer states that he saw the
broken part of the wheel when it was de-
tached, and Immediately signaled brakes
down. but the men on the platforms OF
the cars prevented the brakesmen from
prompt obeyance, and it was found i'm
possible to check the headlong career of
the train.
No one inside the cars was injured
The track was tern up for more than a
hundred feet, and the trains yesterday
were delayed, but we understand they
were running regularly last night.

Wool Notwithstanding the lateness
of the season, the market for wool, In
this place, has not yet opened. The views
of the wool growers and wool dealers, are
wide apart, the former asking seVenty-hve
cents per pound for their clips, and the
latter offering from ffty-fve>to sixty cents.
Under these circumstances there IS but
little chance of the wool changing hands,
and the farmers are rich enough to hold
it over for a better market. Whether or
no this would be good policy on their part,
cultural papers express the opinion that
the market ought to afford seventy-fve
cents per pound for good wool. If this
be the case, the wool of this county, which
will probably average as good as as that
of any other county in the State, ought to
command that price.-NeD Lisbon Buck

THE EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE.-The
coming general convention of the Episeo-
pal Church in October next will be one
of the most important in the entire
history ofthe Amriean Episcopal Church.
According to Rev. DIR. John Cotton
Smith, in his reply to the Bishops Pas
torai. an effort viii be made to introduce
a new canon, intended-to allow to the
clergy of this church more liberal rela-
tions with those of denominations. This
movement will meet with vigorous resist
ance as well as hearty support. The
clergymen identified with it are we'll
known for their perseverance and indie
pendence, as we'll as for a tendency to
controversial discussion; while the Bish-
op will be supported in the conrse he has
adopted by the vast body of his clergy
The return of delegates from the South
ern diocease will be another and still
more important feature of the coming
convention, and there are questions to
be considered which will aid to make the
occasion one of special interest.-Neao

to continue we cannot say.

of our postal affairs the excellent train

CASE OF CONSCIENCE.

The Ashtabula Telegraph gives the fol
lowing case of conscience, IN which the
conscience" Melted its owner exactly one
dollar and eighty cents:
We frequently meet with statements of
the effect of conscientious scruples upon
the conduct of men, which often convey
useful lessons. Not so much for the eff
feet, as a subject of study for casuists, we
give this case
A few days since an elderly man from
one of the western townships called at the
First National Bank, and offered for sale
a Second Auditors certificate for back
pay and bounty of his Diseased SON.
The obliging cashier, Mr.. French, took it
of him at J per cent. discount, and
paid him $3.50, less 81 so. On looking at
it again, Mr.. French saw that it lacked
the old gents signature to the receipt, and
wrote him to call and sign it. But the
old gentleman did not call whereupon
the cashier, being in the n~eighborhood,
took occasion to call on him. He was
willing to sign it, he said, but having re-
ceived only 1868 20 for the $3.50, he>could
not conscientiously sign a receipt for the
whole sum-he had too much regard for
the truth to write a lie. IF Mr.. f. would
pay him the 81 so, he could sign it with a
clear conscience. After some vain at
tempts to bring him to ''see it." Mr..
French paid him the change and took his
receipt, which he was then prepared to
truthfully sign. The cashier of the First
National Bank thinks he has found a case
in which conscientious is deYel-
oped in the highest degree.

SLAVERY IN KENTUCKY.-The emu

age per head of SIS so. The number in

The Philadelphia Press says, approprI-
ately and timely, THE pressure of neees-
sity. during the wal. created a great, dom
inant party, gathered from all cliques and
denominations. The very existence OF
the nation was endangered, and all good
and true men rushed to the rescue with
out distinction of party or creed. The
result has been a strange union OF many
discordant elements and curiously diverse
opinions. but a glorious work has been
accomplished by the e-onglomerated mass,
and peace and unity have followed the Ia
bors of the united discords.
',Only the mighty preliminary duty has
yet been performed the national rights
and powers have been indicated. but the
completing and securing of the great re
suits are still to be accomplished. The
high virtues of endurance, valor and pat
riotism, have marshaIed and sustained us
through the long and weary way from
which we are just emerging, but the new
trials upon which we are now entering re-
quire additional aid. Calmness and pa
thence and prudence. must be called to
our assistance. to point out the future
path and lead US therein. Directed,
guarded and sustained by the heroism and
courage exhibited in the past, as well as
by the fortitude and wisdom necessary to
the new and arduous duties arising before
us, we may be enabled worthily to per
form the mighty work which has been
given into our hands"
