The Buckeye State says the two little
boys named NeiswAnger, whose father lives
in Stark county, we're put in jail on Mon
day last, in New Lisbon, charged with
having entered the house of q Mr.. Viewer,
living on the road between Salem and
Franklin Square, on last Saturday, and
stealing tnerefrom a gold watch, and other
property. One of the boys is nine, The
other only eleven years OF age. We I'M
derstand that they claim that their father
is in the habit of getting intoxicated, and
that in a drunken fit he drove them away
frem home. We do not vouch for the
truth of this.
The custom of numbering houses is

EQUAL Nights I'm Virginia.

Under the Bill of Rights of the consti.
tuition of the State of Virgins, colored
men are entitled to trial by jury and to the
ballot. Its sixth section reads IS follows
EThat all elections ought to be free, and
that all men having sufficient evidence OF
common interest with and attachment to
the community have the rights of suffrage,
and cannot be taxed or deprived of their
property for public uses, without their own
consent or that of their representatives so
elected, nor bound by any law to which
they have not in like manner assented for
the public good"
This noble declaration of true republican
principles has long been a dead letter; but
the "Old Dominion" has given place to q
ney dominion under which all laws which
tend to freedom will be enforced. Already
8 court in Alexandria has declared that, in
accordance with another section of this
same document-the Magma Chsrta of
Virginis-eolored men are entitled, in all
or criminal prosecutions, to trial BY
jury. This acknowledgment will coon bs
followed, as we believe, by the recognition
of the other great principle which We have
and the admission of the colored
man to the right of franchise.

HAIRY Leslie Meets with an Exciting

Harry Leslie has been astonishing the
Canadians, or they have been astonishing
him-or both. On Friday afternoon he
gave an exhibition at Bayfield,, O. W, on
the Great Trunk Railway. His rope was
stretched across the james River, a dis
tsnee of 500 feet He started across, bal
ance pole in hand, at the time announced,
and upon resching the centre went through
his ordinary antics. Upon nearing the OPP
posite bank he saw q crowd of men much
excited evidently, and heard the cries of
"Cut him down, he's the ID" &c. Les.
lie, undaunted, continued to move along
his rope, but before reaching the terminus,
the slender bridge was cut and he fell 8
distance of nearly twenty-five feet. He
was pursued by the r~ufiAns, and after hair
breadth escapes, got out of the vicinity.
His agent, MI. s. s. Skinner, was badly
beaten. About q dozen of the rufiSns
were lodged in jail. We would advise
friend Harry to keep clear of that district
n future.-RgfaLo Ezprsss.
