LIST or Jurors we last week made
some comments upon the list Of jurors
drawn Tor the next term Of court in this
county We made those comments for the
purpose of eliciting the facts in the case,
from the proper authorities, and have
gained our point, having received the fol-
lowing letter from II. T.. Henderson Esq,
county clerk, which fully explains the
whole subject, exonerates nun from all
blame, and exhibits a derelctiOn OF duty
on the part ot The officials of this city and
township. which viii undoubtedly be cor
rec;ed in tie future. having been brought
70 public notice We received our infOrma-
ton i'm regard TO Nj McKernan from a
member Of the IngLam county bar, whom
we supposed familiar with the facts, and we
gave The statement as received, deeming
10 of sufficient importance TO be men
toned. and susceptible OF being corrected
if erroneous We think ample reparation
IS made in the case by the publication OF
Mr. UcutrrS0n's letter.

A Prophetic warming.

The restlt Of the late election is a sad re-
minder to our Copperhead friends of tho
prophetic words of the lamehted Governor
Brough, in his speech in Marietta, June TO-
1868: .art ...r $50. q ft
"You Democrats) cannot blot the record
out !; you may try 10, but it will stick 70
you; You may.pppose this war, but lam.
not going along with you. The old Tories
of the Revolution--they are all gone now,
but their records remain and the pdium be-
longing to them attaches even to their de-
scendants."
Our Democratic friends are leaving an
.equally qNous inheritance to their descendN
ants, and the silent cursings fan innocent
posterity will follow them through time
No mans reputation is TO be envied who
gave aid to the rebellion during the war,
by opposing the Government, or who now
advocates the right of the rebel leaders to
legislate for the country.-l Marietta Regis

Miscellaneous.
To Parents-Newspapers.


A child beginning to read becomes de.
lighted with newspaper, because he reads
of names and things which are very fa mil
lar, and he will make progress according
ly. A newspaper in one year, (says an
eminent teacher) is worth a quarters
schooling to child, and every father must
consider that substantial Information is
connected with his advancement. The
mother of the family, being one of its
heads and having a more immediate
charge of children, should herself be in
structed. A mind occupied becomes forti-
fled against the ills of life, and is braced
for any emergency. Children amused by
reading or study are, of course, considerate
and more easily governed. How many
thoughtless young men have spent theil
earnings in tavern or grog-shop, who
ought to have been reading How many
parents, who never spent twenty dollars
for books for their families, would gladly
have given thousands to reclaim son or
daughter, who had ignorantly and thought,
lessly fallen into temptation.
