From the Ravenna Dsla0crat


Erastus Carter, who was, we believe,
the Oldest resident of Ravenna, died upon
Tuesday morning at the age of ninety
two years.
William Nelson, a prominent citizen Of
Shalersville, died upon Monday afternoon
after a protracted illness.
Upon Sunday, July 10th, while the
family were absent at church, some thief
broke into the house of Thomas Francis,
one mile north of Palmyra Center, and
stole $40 worth of clothing. The perpe-
traitor has not been arrested.
Upon Wednesday last, toward the close
of the afternoon, q stout, rough looking
man, entered the farm house of Lucius
Stewart, in the northwest part of Pal
! myra township, and demanded his money,
MI. Stewart, was at the time the only Oc-
eupant of the house and was living upon u
lounge. In response to the demand Of the
! robber, he said he had but little mOHey
and arose to his feet. The rufian doubt
less thought he intended to get and de-
liver MS money, but Mr.. Stewart had no
such idea. He at once seized a londed
rifle standing in q corner of the room,
whereat his visitor fed out OF the house
and around the corner Of it, running to-
ward a piece Of woods. Mr.. Stewart fol
| lowed as rapidly as possible, and when he
| could bring his gun to bear upon the fee
ing robber he was ten rods away. He
fred, and the villain announced his re
ceipt of the charge with q howl, but still
kept on in his mad flight. Nj. Stewart
returned to his house, reloaded his rifle,
and calling to his aid Ebenezer Olmstead,
proceeded to look for his game. From
| the point where the shot reached him his
trail to the woods was marked with blood,
but he could be traced no further, though
a protracted search was made for him,
Upon the next day quite a party were out
on a hunt for the man, but nothing could
be found of him. Mr.. Stewart is a nan
about sixty years of age, and is a dead
shot, and but for the excitement and haste
of the occasion would have brought down
his man.

The New Orleans Riot Premeditated
nv The Rebels

The New York Tunes charges the re
sponsibility of the late New Orleans riot
upon the convention, alleging that It wa;
purposely melted by them. The state.
ment is falsiied by its own New Orleans
correspondent who writes as follows from
that city:
II IS asked, tCas the riot p~reconcerteG
Il plainly tDaSl There was no regularly
organized Premeditated attack at any one
point or time, but there wa a general
understanding smong all of the young
bloods about town that q riot would oc-
cur, and they promised each other to be
present and do their duty when the
time came. 1 heard for days before the
the occurrence Just such talk in the hotels
and restaurants, and on the streets. 1 did
not think the speakers were in earnest
nor do 1 now believe that they were +;
but circumstances happening Just as
they did, they started for the Institute,
revolver in hand, on the impulse of the
moment and the whole affair seems now
to have been regularly prearrsnged. Just
before one o'clock, when the firing had
pIoSTes>su oue SHUT blme, tHc AIS-UeIl
rang. A man in the street cried at the
top ofhis voice, "Now the devil is to pay
Another said. "Look out for hot work"
What authority those men had for the
statements, 1 know not, or who rung the
bell. The Police were partly taken off
duty the night before, and were armed
better than usual. When the fre-bell
rang the Fourth District force appeared
moving towards the Institute, and in a
short time every available policeman in
the city was on the ground. Young men
deserted their business everywhere, and
hurried to the scene of action. The sig
nal intended for the Police was adopted
by the rioters.

An Eng.ishman in America.

A gentleman well known for his re-
searches into English archaeology, and
who also wrote an able book about Swift
zerland-has been on two visits to Amer
lea within the past two years. 1 a.lude
to Mr.. Robert Ferguson, a magistrate OF
wealth and esteem in Carlisle, and one
who probably will be its next member of
Parliament. He has prepared q very in
teresting little book about America, which
will be published in q month, and has
been kind enough to permit me not only
to read the work in the proof but to send
the Gazette . few extracts, which will first
see the light in your columns.
Mr.. Ferguson had an interesting inter
view with President Lincoln, about whom
every "reminiscences is interesting: "We
found the President of the United States"
he says, seated at his desk. in a plain
room, which might have done for tho Of
fee of q merchant or of q solicitor. Ac-
cerding 10 American rule, the ladies Eere
first presented, and preferred their various
requests, to most Of which, generally ask
ing for ONE unreasonable favor on behalf
of a husband or a son, the President made
answer "Can't do it, madam; can't do
it, and, rs the petitioner went on to
urge her claim with all the feryor of female
~eloquence, added-'and you will not talk
me into It. With one of these classes I
was rather struck. 1t was that of Q widow
lady who had one son already II the pub
lie service at Washington, and wanted to
get a place for another. She stated her
claims, enumerating the services of the
family, the number of sons, brothers and
other relatives who had died fighting, or
were still living to fight, for the Republic.
The expense of living at Washington,
where everything was, as she said
three prices" was one of her ar
guments. She had already applied
to the head of the Department. whose
answer was that he thought she had al
ready got her share. The President At
first was disposed to be of the same opin-
ion, but ended in making a memorandum
OF the case. 1t seemed so very curious to
hear all these matters, which are done 50
differently with us-whether better NAV
be q matter Of opinion-thus discussed in
public. Then there came a man who
wanted to be allowed to 90 IN some ca
pacity or ether to City Point. for which
he had not obtained the sanction of the
0ommander-ln-Chief. Sir said the
PRESIDENT, II my W father, or my own
brother, or II General Washington him
sell, wanted to go to City Point, and Gen
eral Grant didn't want to have him, he
shouldn't 60 Next came a lad with s
story OF having been hired to bring some
horses from New York, and of his en-
ployer having given him the slip and left
him without funds in the streets of Wash

Mr.. Timothy Dumars, a brother of one
of the former editors Of the Chronicle,
was burned to death last week at a fire in
a machine shop in Greenville, Pa. Mr..

shop, and went in to remove some tools
and furniture. The next morning his
charred remains were found on the east
side of the ruins. He was sixty-two wears
of age. He leaves a wife and two chill
dren.

Mr.. Geo. Palmer, an old gentleman OF
eighty-one years, whose bent shoulders
and gray head have been familiar to our
church goers, died very suddenly last
Wednesday. The family were out of the
room for a few minutes, and returning
found him sitting upright in his chair, his
legs crossed at the knees and his face wear
ing a painless expression that told of a
quiet and ready response to the last great
call that had come SO suddenly.
Mrs. Prof. Peck left town last night
with two children, Norma and Maggie

Thurston, the ~@ronaut, made a balloon
ascension from the public square IN Mans
field on Monday last. The balloon moved
up slowly and noiselessly, and remained
in sight for a long time, the wind being
very quiet at the time. After remaining
in full view for about half an hour, 1t
passed from view, and then the wonder
was sswhore it would come down" This
inquiry was set at rest by the return Of
the eronaut about seven o'clock. It ap-
pears that he moved off in q southeastern
iy direction, until he came to within a
couple of miles of Lucas, where he made
his descent in safety in Il meadow, having
Travelled about five miles.

In Atlantic TelesraPh-First Dis
patch to be sent by the Crosby Opera
HOuse Art Association.

We understand that the Crosby Opera
Hohse Art Association applied for the
privilege of sending the first business dis
patch i've the Atlantic wire, for the pur-
pose of establishing agencies in London,
Paris, and other leading cities IN Europe ;
the success Of the cable having made this
practicable.
The energy and enterprise employed in
the management Of this great enterprise
are worthy of If, and merit, as well as in
sure, success.
Should any of our friends at the other
end of the wire be lucky enough to draw
the opera house, we console ourselves with
the reflection that they cannot move it
away. It will adorn our city and entertain
proud and delighted American audiences
Our cousins of Liverpool and Manches-
ter, who have not as yet ever thought of
building an opera house, will doubtless be
struck with the marvellous development
OF taste, luxury and refinement which
have accompanied the growth of wealth
and worldwide commerce of Chicago.
Let the wire bear the name Of Mr.
Crosby across the ocean it will never
hereafter be separated from the fame of
Chicago.-Chicago Ersniag JoHndl.

Fearful Radiea COnspiraey-The

Stage

Fearful Radical COnsPiraey-The
wooden Horse of Troy On "A Modern
Stage
The Sandusky Register thus reveals a
fearful plot of the radicals to capture the
Philadelphia Convention. We lave rea-
son to fear that some OF our Cleveland
offce-holders are in league with the San
dusky postmaster in his nefarious design
against the peace and harmony of the
Copperheads and rebels at Philadelphia ::
The Plain Dealer casts a typographical
leer toward us, and asks what the Sandusky
postmaster was doing at Columbus and
what is his object in going to Philadelphia.
We had hoped that the ?. D. would not
be inquisitiYe in this matter, eut Its pro-
pensity is ungovernable. The fact Is, the
a Radicals" of ~Sandusky have designs on
the Philadelphia Convention. They intend
to burst it. They expect to visit upon 1t q
| great "uupleasantness." The plot is this Z:
They have selected the postmaster, who is
known as a radical of radicals, tOh0 attended
the Union State Convention IN June and came
asrav perfectly satisfied s1ih its action, and
repeGtedlV declared his GcgRieSceHcs IN plat
form and nOHiRGtiORs-they have selected
him from their number, we say, and by 3
little thimble-rigging have got him apPoiat-
ed to Philadelphia. They expect him to
perform the same trick on Johnson's Con-
vention that the wooden horse did on the
h~ome-guards of Troy q few thousand years
back. After getting his seat between Mr.,
| Vallandigham and Ben. Wood his radical
constituents expect him to explode a set Of
Black Republican resolutions arrange on
the principle of torpedOes. The conclusion
is expected to do the job. The funeral Of
the Convention will be held on the 18th.
