A Famous Pedestrian.

Tom MAxF1ELD, better known in the sport
ing circles as 'North STAR" died lately, at
Windsor, England. Tne race which made
him notorious was one he ran on the 1O,h
day of May, 1845. He was backed to run
twenty miles in two hours, for $780, The
trial of speed took place on the Bath road,
between Slough and Salt Hill, in the pres
ence Of an immense number of spectators
He accomplished the task in one hour, fifty
eight minutes and thirty seconds. Subse-
quently he performed similar feat at Ar
Iington Corner, near Hounslow, having sew
enteen seconds to spare. Once he under
took to run eleven miles in one hour, but ex-
ceeded his time by three seconds. He ran
upwards of fifty races, several of which were
matches with THE Welshman," "Bryne."- -
THE Wonder OF the North, and jackson" "
and, with the exception of being headed by
The Welshman," he beat them all he
subsequently beat "The Welshman."

Lieutenant Cushing's Performances.

THE most extraordinary and successful feat
ofpersonal daring, during the war, was that
OF Lieutenant Gushing, in sinking the rebel
ram Albermarle, with torpedo. The story
that he told of sinking the vessel, when be
made his way to our lines, was incredible.
and no one believed it until the rebel ac-
counts confirmed it. Lieutenant Cushing be-
name famous, and has seemed intent ever
since upon keeping up his reputation. The
following is an extract of letter, dated at
Fort Fisher, February IA, and published in
the New York Tribune:
The rising hero Of the navy, Lieutenant
Gushing, continues to astonish the rebels, as
well as our own forces, by his acts Of daring
and skill. A few nights since, in his slight
canoe" he rowed around and up a creek
leading from Falls Inlet to a presuming little
borough named Charlotte. This had been
the general depot OF supply for the garrison
at Fort Anderson. The dashing Lieutenant
entered the town late in the evening-called
up the Mayor, summoned together the Com
mon Council, and proposed to give them by
daylight his conditions Of fcapture.
He ordered breakfast for himself and staff
officers to be ready by o'clock, which was
promised by the city godlatkers, who, with
the most cheerful alacrity had surrendered
the town, under the supposition that Cushing
had 1000 or 5000 men at his heels. He
burned large warehouse, filed with rebel
commissary stores, loaded some eighty bales
of cotton on flats lying along shore, had his
oarsmen float it down to the ocean waters,
when fhe dashiug Lieutenant with cotton
prize money in his eye, formally seized it for
aud in behalf Of the brave tars whom he had
induced to accompany him.
On Fridai night he rowed up to Whining
ton, crcumnavigated all its wharves, boats,
&c, and then rowed back to his ship, passing
all their forts and batteries entirely unobserv-
ed Again on Saturday night he rowed up
to the obStructions across the river in front
OF Fort Anderson, took deliberate and ac-
curate survey of the same, their location, and
the plan of their construction. While skip
ping about upon the heads of the piles Gt be-
ing dead low water; he heard cheering and
other declamatory exercises going on within
the fort
Leaving his boat in the narrow space left
for the passage OF vessels, he quietly approach
ed the fort while the sentries attention was
turned, as was his, to an outdoor speech be-
ing delivered by Bragg to the rebel garrison.
Listening to his hearts content, he commenc- |
ed his return, when his presence was discov-
cred, aud several volleys of musketry were
fred at him without effect, and after vanish
ing in the darkness, and the rebels taking it |
to be some reconnaissance from cur infantry
line on the other side, opened fire upon our
men, as stated above. Gushing returned |
safely to the ship, to receive again the con-
gratulations of his comrades.

Right or Wrong Baby.

a very comical story was told me the 9TH
er day, that is to say very comical to those
who hear it-not quite so much so to the
party concerned. I believe I have several
times referred to the custom Of sending chill
dren born in Paris out to the country to be
nursed. There are regular wetnurse intelli-
gence Offices established in Paris A man
whose business it is to look up healthy wo-
men in the country-in Picardy or Norman
dy-gets together snumber-fiteen or TWEEN
ty-from the same district, and conducts
them to Paris to the Office, to wait until the
younglings is need of their care are confded
to their charge. When they are all provided
with baby apiece, one leader accompanies
this detachment Of infantry to their future
home.
On one occasion, about twenty years ago,
party OF this sort stopped at a roadside tav-
ern for midday refreshment. The nurses
laid their charges down according to direc-
ton, upon the biliard-tables in room ad-
joining the dinning-room, the door of which
was left open. Of course each nurse recol-
lected the place assigned to her young one.
While regaling themselves, several country
men came in, moved the babies to a bed
which occupied a corner of the next room,
taking great care to do the little ones no
harm, but Of course with no regard to the or
der previously observed. When the meal
was finished, what was the dismay Of the
women and their chief to find themselves en-
tirely at fault as to the particular baby be-
longing to each nurse
All that was to be done was to be sure and |
appropriate boy or girl to the woman who !
laid claim to child of the given sex, and
trust to chance for the rest. French babies
are all done up in a curious bundle, with no
difference in clothes, and so have no iHdiUid-
uality, and it is no wonder that such bewil-
derment should have taken place. French
babies have not even been emancipated from
the trammels of centuries back. The poor
little things have been denied the luxury Of
a cold souse of water on the head which is
so refreshing to a weIlcared for American ba-
by. and, what is more, it is always tortured
with thick cotton cap, with an ugly border
No wonder the mothers got the wrong ba-
bies; no one can tell one from the other.

Wanted free Negroes for Servants,

TEE interesting narrative Of Mr.. Richard
son, one of the Tribune'scaptured correspond
ents, relating his sad experience in prison,
contains this paragraph, the unconscious tone
of which is full Of signicance. The cores
pondent is an out-and-out abolitionist; but
he seems to take for granted that the proper
use of free negroes is to do servile work.
At the Libby we were compelled to take
our quarters, clean ourselves and cook our
food-to do the work Of mentsls and soul
lions under the most adverse and obnoxious
circumstances. There was no need of this,
as there were dozens in the prison, whom
the rebels had stolen from the Northern ar
mics, and who would gladly have performed
such Offices; but the Southern blusterers and
bullies were anxious to degrade the gentle
men they held in custody to the level Of serv-
ants and scavengers.

Touch Of Petroleum.

Close to the lands Of the Centre Oil Com

Ignorant, Of course, dumb luck has made him
rich. His household pets oonsits Of terrier
dog and stupid daughter, both of of whom
engage his attention. The former provided
for, he determined to accomplish" his daugh-
ter. To this end he came to the city. He
bought piano, harp and guitar, and q
cart load of music books, ETC., winding up his
business by engaging a first class intellectual
and musical tutor, with all of which he start
ed for the "oil region" The documents Of
course were soor arranged for business. The
tutor set to work, and toiled like Trojan,
but with no success. Despairing Of ultimate
triumph, the tutor went to the oil king and
made a clean breast it.
"Why, what in the world is the matter 2
asked the father.
"Wen," answered the tutor, kitty has
piano, and guitar, and harp, and music, and
books, and all that, but she wants capaoity-
that's all"
.Well, BY the Lord Harry" cried the oil
king, "if that's all just buy it. I've got the
stuff, and if money will get it she shall have
capacity or anything else"

Prominent Printsrs.

An address recently delivered before the
Typographical Society at Washington, stated
these facts about honOrs to printers:
The Initiated States has chosen q printer
for secretary, printer for sergeant-at-arma,
while printer occupies the Yiee-PresidentS
chair. In the. House printer has been elect
ed clerk, printer postmaster, and on the
first Monday Of December, 1868, the Houss
Of Representatives chose a printer for their
foreman or speaker; and also of the fourteen
gentlemen who have filed the Office of Nav.
or of Washington, six were printers, namely:
Rapino, Gales, SeatOn, Weightman,sF Fore and
Towers. ..--,
The State Of Ohio is equally respectful to
printers Gov. Brough was printer-so
was the Adiutant- General of Ohio. The
Secretary OF State was an editor-so was the
private secretary Of the Governor-two of
the clerks of the House of Representatives
were or are editors, and two also Of the
clerks Of the Senate are newspaper men.

DIARRHGA AND DYsENTERY.-We have sE-
amined great number Of letters from some
Of the most citizens Of Cincinnati and Coying-
ton, ETC., speaking in the highest terms Of
DR.. Stricklands Anti-Cholera Mixture for the
cure of diarrhosa and dysenterv. The letters
are too long TO publish. Mr. Woods Of Cow
ington, says he was pronounced incurable BY
the best doctors in Cincinnati, and one bottle
of DR.. Strickland's Anti-Cholers Mixture eff
ected a permanent cure after suffering for
months with the worst form OF diarrhees aud
dysentery.
Another says he was discharged from the
United States service after suffering in the
hospital for months as incursble, and as 3
last resource tried StrickIand's Anti-ChoIera
Mixture he got well directly and has now en-
tered the army again in good health. One
man writes he has cured seven or eight very
bad cases of diarrhosa and dysenteFy IN the
barracks he was in with one bottle Of thi4
valuable medicine. In fact we could Fill half
our paper with similar items from these let
ters. Why does not our Government secure
this valuable preparation. Our army ought
to be supplied with it. It ip but a short time
since one Of our men laid in very low con-
dition at one Of our Cincinnati Hospitals, hig
wife was sent for, bis doctors considered his
a hopeless case. She, however, gave him
Strickland's Aati-CholeFa Mixture. and Ia
three weeks he was able to return homo with

URBArA, OHIO, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 8, 1865.

countenance, the very opposite of health
Chronic diarh@a, that scourge of the
hospital, brought on by wet clothes and
sleeping on the ground, practices un-
avoidable in the soldier, but none the less
deadly, may be easily explained on this
theory. In no one place can the "Ounce
of prevention" be so prOftably applied
as to the case Of the outside in such ex-
posures.
Non-conductors shonld be worn in sum-
mer as we'll as in winter. The coolest
dress a person could wear in summer
would be woolen as tight as the skin; not
tighter than that, as one fellow complain
ed his pants were, for he said he could
sit down in his skin without splitting it,
but he couldn't in his pants. Laborers
atforges and furnaces wear woolen shirts,
which absorb the perspirahon readily and
allow it to evaporate, which process cools
thesurface, while cotton will not only alb
sorb moisture, but retain it more persis-
tently. Ifnon-cOnducting clothing is de-
sirable in working hours, much more so
is it proper when the body repOses pas
sively. People take cold much more
easily when asleep than awake, and hence
wooden shirts and blankets are worth ad-
opting as bedding to theexclusion of cot
ton; and it is quite possible that silk
or wooden cap might be of signal service
in preventing badness and grayness, as
such an article is recommended to those
who are sufferers from neuralgia in the
head.
The worth of physical exercise as a
means in keeping the skin in healthy
condition can hardly be overrated. It
gives a healthy hue to the cheeks and
vigor to the excreting functions generally.
1t is not necessary or advisable to exer-
else violently, and the severer movements
of the gymnasium and the boat race,
drawing powerfully, on both muscular
and nervous systems, are entirely unnec-
essary if not positively injurious so far as
mere exercise for health is concerned.-I
There is no necessity for eschswing utili-
tartan labor even such as gardening, saw
ing of wood, shoveling of snow, or even
walking, and the youth who engages in
such labors as will aid others as well as
himself is doubly benefactor. The ef-
feet of temperature and exercise or the
want of it combined, is we'll shown in the
monkey. In his native woods surround
ed by tropical heat, life is constant
motion with him. Brought north and
Gagged, with limited opportunities for
movement, he dies with consumption and
foul air gets the curse, while proper
understanding of the action of the exter-
nal surface under the two conditions
would suggest quite different epitaph.

WILL NOBODY MARRY NET
By GEORGE P. NORRIS,

Heigh-ho for husband-heigh-hol
There's danger in longer delayI
Shall I never again have a beau?
viii nobody marry me pray?
I begin to feel strange I declared
With beauty my prospects will fade!
I'd give myselfup to despair
III thought I should die an old maidl
I once cut the beaus in huff!
thought it sin and a shame
Tho not one had spirit enough
To ask me to alter my name;
So turned up my nose at the short,
And rolled up my eyes at the tall;
But then just did it in sport,
And now I've no lover at ALL
These men are the plague Of my life;
IT'S hard from so many to choose,
Should one Of them wish for a wife,
Could I have the heart to refuse?
I don't know, for none have proposed.
o dear meg I'm frightened I vow!
Good gracious whoever supposed
That I should be single till now!
