Died.

In Auburn, GeRuga County, Ohio. on the 18th
day Of January, 1860, of Rheumatic CONSUMPTION,
HENRY CAPRoN, in the 49th year of his age.
Though Mr.. Capron suffered an illness OF
several weeks duration, yet the more fatal
advances of his disease were so rapid, that
his death came almost unh eralded, and its
sadness to his family and friends was thus
enhanced by its suddenness. The funeral
obsequies were performed at the Disciple
Church in Auburn, Sunday, January 22d,
under the auspices of the Disciple denomi-
nation, of which the deceased was a
most exemplary member, and in the
faith of which he had been for
many years devout and earnest believer.
Rev. B. A. Hinsdale, young minister of
that church, pronounced a well reasoned,
beautiful and appropriate sermon, on the
occasion, the central thought of which was,
the goodness of God in His providentiai
gOvernance in the affairs of men, and il
Illustrating the Patrisrch's interrOgative
proposition "Shall not the Judge of ali
the earth do rIght?" The funeral assem-
blage was very large, being composed of
representatives. of nearly every family in
the township, together with many from
abroad. The gathering of so many people.
who, broOking the discomforts of
an Indictment day, had come together
to pay their last respects to the licensed,
wal, in itself, conclusive evidence Of, and an
eloquent tribute to, the worth of him who
had passed forever from their midst. The
death of Mr.. Capron is, indeed, calamity
to the community in which he had long
lived, and in which he was we'll and favor
ably known. His influence was manifest
in the promotion of every movement of
public interest in his neig hborhood, vheth-
er religious, patriotic or educational, He
was man OF few words; but in those, he
spoke the honest, sober conclusions of
strong, enlightened intellect-or expressed
the pure sentiments of a kindly sympa-
thiEing heart. His life was q success.
From the obscure and humble begin
nings of poor boy, he struggled TO
a manhood that was founded upon the
solid principles of unsWerYing integrity,
and adorned by al the virtues Of an en-
hghtened, simple, and fervid piety. Nor
did he live for himself alone. By his wor-
thy efforts he built up happy home, and
lived to soc it surrounded by all the com
forts that education, refinement, and mod
crate prosperity can give.
May the desOlstiOn of that homo bD
cheered, and the grief of that broken family
circle assuaged, by the thought that the
virtues of the life departed, are now crown
ed with the immortal reWards Of "the Just /
made perfect" CoH.

APPRENTICES FOR TIE NAvY.-We have just
been furnished with circular, recently is
sued from the Navy Department, prescrib-
ing the regulations for the enlistment of
boys as apprentices for the Navy, which it
has been deemed advisable by the Depart
ment to issue, such enlistments having
been discontinued about year since. The
object is to prepare boys between the ages
of fourteen and eighteen for all the duties
appertaining to the naval service, and for
this purpose scholarships viii be establish
ed at suitable points, 10 which, in addition
to the irregular naval officers, schoOlmasters
will be assigned, to teach the rudiments of
education, including navigation. The
character of the boys eligible must be un-
exceptionAble, both as to morals and gem
eral habits, and none will be received with
out recommendations to this effect. Their
sanitary wants will all be fully provided by
the Government. The boys thus enlisted
will rank first, second and third class, and
will receive respectively ten, nine and
eight dollars per month. At appointed
intervals, officers will be appointed to in
quire into the merits of the apprentices and
recommend advancement.
As our Navy will probably be maintained
on a large scale in the future, there will be
many and constantly occurring opportuni-
ties for promotion from among those who
thus avail themselves of the chance to
acquire knowledge of naval duties. Boys
desiring to take advantage of this offer
should address Commander Raj, of the
steamer Michigan, at Erie, through parents
or guardian.

UNITED STATES CoURr.-sentence was
yesterday morning pronounced in the case
of the six men from Auglaize county,
charged with interfering with an officer
whilst in the discharge of his drty under
the draft. Judge Wilson said he vas sat-
isfed that the prisoners had been misled
by designing men, and therefore should
not impose the full penalty. The sentence
on each of the prisoners, Philip sniebel,
George Allbach, John Beerline, Peter Al
tenberger, Henry Beerline and Philip Ell
sass, was a fine of 500 and costs, and i'm
prisonment in the county jail thirty days
after conviction.
John J. Jones, for robbing the mail, was
fined $500 and costs.
Several cases were brought up for sem
tence, under the law prohibiting lawyers
receiving more than five dollars fee for SER
vices in procuring exemption. Fines
were inflicted in some cases, but on a
subsequent case notice of motion to quash
indictment on the ground of the unconsti-
tutionality of the law having been mad e,
Judge Wilson said the sentences might be
considered suspended until the decision oi
the question.

Rev. J. C. FLEToHBR's LECTURE.-Mr.
Fletcher always draws large house here.
He is free and easy speaker, and has those
qualities which are sure to take with pop
ular audience. His lecture last evening,
"Two thousand miles up the Amazon" I"
was listened to with strict and pleased al
tention, by the Immense assembly. The
descriptive part, or the recital of the lee
turer's personal observation and experience
while passing up the Amazon, was prefaced
by swift outline of the main eatures, So
cial, political and moral, of Brazilian life,
in which some new facts and general in
formation were given.
He then, in humorous style, proceeded
to strip from the country-Brszil-the pop
ulsr illusions respecting it, which have got
into the general mind through the agency
of fable, legend, pictures in biographies,
&c, &c. Finally we embarked at Rio ia
neiro, with the lecturer, and made for a
tropical north, entered the mouth-wide as
State-of the Amazon, steared up the ar
row-straight river, whose infinite volume of
water has worn for it a miIlenium-old bed,
and were treated to jackal, alligator, turtle
and turtle egg butter, monkey, and what
not The latter part of the lecture abound
ed with laughable passages of personal ex-
perience with men and animals, and good
natured criticism and witty rebuffs of Dar-
wins Development Theory.
Mr.. Fletcher will always find Cleveland
audiences good listeners to whatever he
mey choose to produce.

The FoREsT Cry HoUsE.-We are inform.
ed that Mr.. Russell, the present proprietor,
of the Forest City House. cOntemplates its
thorough renovation within q few weeks
thus making it still better prepared to
maintain its present popular position
among the hotels of Cleveland The For
est City House, in many respecte, is more
favorably located than any hotel in the
city. It is situated near the City Park,
making it in the summer one of the most
attractive places in the coun try. stran-
gers desiring to find hotel, ,home-Iike and
and attractive, cannot seek better place
than the Forest City House. Head Clerk
Charles Russell will always be found OBJ
liging and attentive TO the wants of guests.
The present large and constantly increas-
ing patronage of this popular hotel will
commend it more and more to the travel
ing public. To prove what We say, it is
only necessary 70 g. and see for yourself,

SHIFF AND GAYLORD's MINsTRRLs.-Th0
tastes of people differ, and this is the reasor 4
that the lecture at Braiusrd's Hall IL a
night did not seem to Lessen the attends, ,ce
at the Academy Of Music. Another full
house greeted t'lnis troupe of ming trels,
which, althOr4 gh it is a stranger TO Owf city,
has alre' dy won all minstrelsy-loving
hsSfts' Never has troupe received speed
Ter rr warmer recognition than has this
mo st complete one of skiff and GsyIord's.
They presented a new programme last
evening, and it was as happily rendered,
and as excellent and superior to the common
run in its character, as was that of the open
ing entertainment.
The closing performance will take place
tonight. We advise all who love fun,
dancing, &c, to attend.

WETKEL Run AND MOELHREEY On COMPANY.
In looking over the subscription books
Of the various Oil Companies organized in
ourcity, we find none which promise more
profit to the stockholders than the Weikel
Run and McElhenny Oil Company. Many
of our most wealthy and influential citi-
zens are largely interested in the enterprise.
1t is also a fact that IN Pennsylvania, where
the Company's lands are located, tho pro-
duetion of oil fer the last year has amount
ed to over sixty millions of dollars, which
must satisfy any financial man that there
IS immense wealth in well located oil
lands.
