A ROpe-WaIker NIObbed.

We had always supposed that the
perilous feats performed by Harrie
Leslie, were of themselves attended
with all the danger necessary to make
them sensational enough for the peo-
pie; but q very recent experience of
the daring funambulist in her Majes-
ty's dominions goes to show that we
are more liberal in our notions of the
thing than they are there.
On Friday afternoon last Mr.. Leslie
thought he would delight the people
of bayfield,, c. W. on the grand trunk
Railway, and having stretched his
rope across the James, distance of
six hundred feet, he proceeded not
only to perform his customary feat Of
walking over it, but also to astonish
the natives with display of his &C
robatic skill. At the time appointed
he and his balance-poIe started across
the river together, and upon reach
ing the center of the rope he enacted
all that was set down on the pro-
gramme; but, upon nearing the OppO-
site bank, he saw a crowd of men,
who were evidently excited, and
could hear them say, "D-n him, he's
the DEVIL" "Cut the rope" 'Cut him
down." etc. Leslie continued to
move along the rope but before he
could reach its terminus, the slender
bridge was cut, and he was allowed
to fall a distance of nearly twenty
five feet. In this descent, he caught
hold of a tree, and thence rolled down
the enbankment to the waters edge
Finding that he was pursued by the
ruffians, he made his escape in the
woods, and after travelling about a
mile and half, he managed to get
horse and buggy with which he
reached, Seaforth. Here he procured
assistance and upon returning to the
vicinity of bayfield, he learned that
a man named S. s. Skinner, who was
acting as his agent, had been badly
beaten, and that about a dozen of
the ruffians had been arrested. Upon
going back TO Seaforth he was again
beset by some Ofthe gang, but the
vigorous use OF loaded horsewhip
made his progress comparatively easy
and he escaped the second time
Harrie has discovered that Canada is
a hard road to travel and he will
probably avoid Bayfield, and the
James River hearafter.

VVIrz AssaiIed by an Ohio Mat
ron

Yesterday, as Wirz was cn his way
from the Court room to the old Capitol
a respectfully dressed lady, between fifty
and sixty years old, who had been wait
ing for the opportunity, asked the guard
if that was the Andersonville bucther-
On receiving an affirmative answer, she,
in frenzy of passion, endeavored 10
strike him with an umbrella, saying
"You wretch you butcher! you mur.
dered my son at Andersonville :" Fail
ing to reach him, she seized, and implOr-
ed the guard to let her get at him. She
was with some difficulty restrained, and
the prisoner conveyed to his quarters
1t seems that the old lady was an Ohio
woman, who had come on here to get back
pav for her sons, all of whom had be-
longed to the army. One was killed in
battle. one murdered in Andersonville,
another rendered hopelessly insane by
his suferings in the same slaughter pen,
and one only returned to her home at
the close Of the war Wash. Dispatek.

Artemus Wards Last.

Artemus Ward opened his Mormon
lectures again, on Monday evening
last, at Irving Hall, New York.
Some idea of his intentions may be
obtained by reading an extract from
his prospectus, which starts out thus:
The festivities will be commenced
by the pianist, a gentleman who used
to board in the same street with Mr..
GOttschalk. The man who kept the
boarding house remembers it distinct
ly. The overture will consist Of q
medly of airs, including the touching
new ballads. "Dear Sister, is there
any Pie in the House?" "My gentle
Father have you any Fine Cut about
yOu?" Mother is the battle DER and
is it safe to come home from Canada?"
and (by request Of many families
who haven't heard it, "Tramp,

Negro Suffrage In Connecticut.

The Union State Central Commit
tee of Connecticut has issued an ad-
dress TO the people of the State in ref
erence TO the approaching election
The following paragraphs take
grounds in favor OF extending the
right of suffrage to colored men:
"The record of the last four years
is still before us. Black men and
white have fought side by side for
the preservation of the Union; they
have suffered alike; and they sleep
side by side in honored graves. Du-
ring all this struggle for our existence
as a nation, the black race has been
true to tho Union, faithful among the
faithIess,' in some parts of the Repub-
lie; the untailing friends of our sol
diers; the surest guides of our officers;
prompt to warn our armies of ap-
preaching danger, vigilant to discOv-
er the designs of the enemy; brave
and always true to aid and succor our
prisoners in their fight. Have they
not, by their fidelity and courage,
done something to relieve us of the
prejudice against them on account OF
color?
And now the questions come to US:
Shall not the black man, who can an
swer the requirements OF our laws, be
permitted to cast his vote at the bal
lot-box? Now is the time to mete
out long denied justice. Shall it not
be given2 We have every reason to
hope that it will. Throughout the
State the signs are auspiciOus.-
Friends of the Government every
where appreciate the Importance of
the issue. Old prejudices have melt
ed away in the fires of the great con-
test. Loyalty everywhere welcomes
and honors true loyalty. And if every
friend of the Union will but do his
duty, in a thorough canvass, and at
the polls on the first Monday in Oc-
tober, the proposed amendment will
be adopted an act of justice will be
done, right will be vindicated and the
Government strengthened. 70 this
end the Union State Committee ex-
poets and calls upon every true Union
man TO do his duty. The result will
richly reward exertions."

that he may ride to the devil. and drag
it after him iato the pit He may have
indemnity for the past when we have the
security for the future which the equal
citizenship of the negro will give us
Anything short of this would be nothing
less than national suicide; and the ma
tion has not fought for its life so long and
so hard to die now by its own silly hand
II the Democrats had but the wisdom
that is profitable to direct party under
difficulties TO success. they would cease
their old habit of servility to the white
men Of the South, and try to conciliate
the black men by showing that they real
ly believe in the democratic principles
they profess, by helping them TO their
political rights. They may find them
selves in power again, some day, by this
method, but 10y no other. But we fear
their case is past advice.-THe Nation.

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAIL }
WAY, ENGINEERS OFFICE CLEVELAND,
Sept. 10th, 1865.
J. w. TYLER, Esq,
WARREN, Ohio.
Ny Dear Sir Il avail myself of my Ie
turn to this place, to Immediately trans
NIT through you, my thanks to Gen. Nc
Lain and the citizens of Warren, for theil
kind fattering mention of myself, on the
occasion of their welcome to our Railway
party on Monday last. 1t is a source OF
great qualification to find that whilst ear
nestly endeavoring to do my duty faith.
fully to those whose interests are commit
ted to my care, | have been able alsU 10
win the regard of American friends. |
feel honored by their kindly associating
my name with that of my respected Chief,
j. w. Kennard, whom | rejoice to find
is being appreciated as he deserves for
his untiring energy and unremitting per-
severance in carrying through his labors
in connection with the A. & G. w. R. X.
He fully deserves all the encomiums be-
slowed upon him, alike on this, or the
other side of the Atlantic. Pray assure
the gentlemen of Warren, of the addition
al pleasure they have given me, by the
cordial welcome they extended to my dis
tinguished Countrymen. | have reason
to believe that they have come here ami
mated with the most friendly feelings
towards this great Country, and desirous
of carrying back such impressions as will
enable them to do it and all of you, JUS
tice. Each one of this party is a man OF
influence and position and of the stamp
that should come here-viz: with the
eyes of men of business acumen, who will
know how to weigh calmly and dispas-
sionately all they see and hear, and whose
verdict will carry conviction to the minds
of those to whom they communicate their
impressions, when they reach England
again. feel pretty certain of one thing
especially, viz that they will be able to
report thus: Whatever hard words may
have been said against England from
time to time, we saw no evidence of any
such feeling, every man whom we met was
ready to extend the right hand of fellow
ship to US, and did show us all the cour-
tesy and kindness in his power" | trust
to see after this visit, many more English
men come out here ready to prove their
faith in the prosperous future of this
country and their desire to aid in the de-
Eelopment of its resources, by the invest
ment of their Capital in some one or ot4-
er of the many ope nings for lucrative en-
terprise, which this country presents. /
trust that to them, as to the gentlemen
now visiting you, the same generous and
warm hearted kindness will be manifest
ed, and that the ties of amity and friend
ship which shall bind together two such
kindred nations as Great Britain and
America, may be more and more strength
ened. | trust my Warren friends will
accept my apology for not addressing
them after some of the other speaI -
but our time was so limited that deter
mined to thank them by letter, at more
length than our limited stay at The depot
would have permitted.
With very warm regard, believe me
My dear Sir,
Yours very Sincerely,

Sweet is tine voice that calls
From babbling water falls
In meadows where the dOwny seeds ar,
flying;
And soft the breezes blow
And eddying come and go
In faded gardens where the rose is dying
Among the stubbed corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidder
places,
And glittering insects gleam
About the reedy stream
Where busy spiders spin their filmy laces
At eve, cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes to purple
turning,
And. .pearly vapors lie
Along the eastern sky
Where the broad harvest-moon is redly
- burning.
All, soon on field and hill
The winds shall whistle chill,
And patriarch swallows call their focks
together

And seek for hands where blow
The fairer blossoms of q balmier wealth,

The pollen-dusted bees
Search for the honey-lees
That linger to the last flowers of Sept

While plaintive mourning doves
Coo sadly to their loves
OF the dead summer they so we'll remem-

The cricket chirps all day,

The squirrel eyes askance the chestnuts

The wild-fowl fly afar
Above the foamy bar,
And hasten southwark ere the skies are

Now comes fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar trees,
And round about my temples fondly
fingers
In gentle playfulness
Like to the soft caress
Bestowed in happier days by loving fin
gers.
Yet, though a sense of grief
Comes with the falling leaf,
And memory makes the summer doubly
pleasant,
In all my autumn dreams,
A future summer CLEANS,
Passing all the fairest glories of the pres

Elizabeth Wagner, a young lady
about twenty-nine years of age, re
sided with her mother, and had been
for many years afflicted with fits, pc
riodically; and she mad suffered So
much that her mind was somewhat
impaired. For some time she had been
depressed in spirit, and had threat
ened 10 make way with herself Her
mother had kept watch of her move
ments, and was careful that she should
not be alone long at q time.
On Wednesday morning Miss WaG
ner disappeared ut a very early hour
and after waiting a reasonable time
for her appearance, search was made
for her. After some time she was
found in a tobacco shed, on 4 farm ad

A GRANDSON OF LAFAYETTE IN BosroN.-
While the secretaries were counting the
votes last evening for delegates to the
State Convention, from Ward Eleven, Mr..
Philbrick, Superintendent of our public
schools, took occasion to introduce the
grandson of Lafayette, who has recently
come to this country, and who was pres
ent last evening for the purpose of becom-
ing acquainted with the manner in which
preliminary political meetings are con-
Quoted. Though but little acquainted
with our language, he uttered some elo-
quent remarks in relation to the recent
rebellion in this country, and said the
struggle was not only for the free princi-
pies in America, but in the empire of
France. His speech, though short and
much broken, was warmly applauded.-
