a Ranroaa throurh The Ar.

A very novel patent has just been taken
out BY R. Montgomery, EsqYof New York
city-nOthing less than a street-railway
running through the ART Much has been
said and done Of late years in the way of
laying s~ubterranean railways, and they
are now in successful operation in Lon
don, but this project of railways overhead
is going to the other extreme with 3 ven-
geance. The necessity If something of
the sort is felt very greatly in such crowd
ed cities as New York and Philadelphia,
where the streets are SO blocked with
trade and travel that some additional
space must be found, underground or
above it. This railway through the air, as
explained by its inventor, is to be sup
ported on bent pillars of corrugated
wrought iron-one track on each side of
the roadway, or between the sidewalk and
the usual carriage-way. This track is to
be II feet above the roadway, with which
it nowise interferesi taking only 50 much
Of the sidewalk as is now INSTRUCTED by
lamp-posts, awning-postA &c. Of course,
the passage of teams across the street
traversed is nowise impeded. The pro-
polling power is supplied by a dummy en-
CINE which is entirely voiceless and spark
less. The scheme looks feasiblei it does
not seem likely to excite much opposi-
ton; and the railroad, if painted and
bronzed, would be a decided ornament to
the street. A light staircase at n cor
ner of each street affords the requisite
facility for reaching and quitting the cars.

EqualluIng tae Boun4les.

The Paymaster- General has, in reply to
a question of the Chairman of the Mill
tary COMMITTEES of the House of Rcpresen-
t~atives, on the subject of equalizing the
bounties, made q statement which will
undoubtedly kill off the project. He says
that to pay all the soldiers, or their repre-
sentatives, a bounty equal to the highest
paid-s4OO-and in proportion to lifetime
of service of each, would require the sum
of $3.50, 900, 900. This would add about
one-sixth to our already enormous public
debt. A large proportion of it would go
into the pockets of spectators who have
been buying up claims in anticipation of
legislation upon the subject, and afurther
considerable sum fab into the hands of
agents who would take the lions share of
the bounty for collecting it. Can the
country afford this Would even the SOL
diers thank Congress for adding q new
burden to our heavy taxes that a small
pittance may be given to themH

The Oberlin Ne1es SAVE

The Oberlin Nelos says;
The College authorities have sold the
old Boarding Hall to Dea. U. Thompson,
who will remove it in the Spring. Part
of it will be taken to pieces to furnish ma
be removed and revamped into a dwell
ing house. The usefulness and glory Of
the old Hall have departed. Pathetically,
we say, let it go.
The Union School House was found on
fire Saturday afternoon, but prompt alarm
and attention subdued the ugly element
before it did serious damage. The fire
broke out in one corner of the High
School room, but its origin is a mystery,
for no fire is known to have been in the
room or twenty hours previously.
The Wellington correspondent of the
Nelgs says:
Mr.. Abel Daugherty, living about three
miles east Of this place, had his horse, car
riage and harness stolen from his barn on
Thursday night of last week, also
another horse and saddle. No clue has
yet been found to the thieves.
We understand the private house of
John F. Wooster, three-fourths of a mile
north Of the village, was entered by bur-
glars one night of last week, with the
hope, no doubt, of obtaining quite an
amount of money just received by Mr.. W.
for his wool. The scoundrels were fright
ened away
The Eaton correspondent of the Ne,os
writes
A Lodge of Good Templars has been
formed, numbering twenty-seven men,
bers. We trust the organization may be
well sustained. This township is remark
ably free from grog shops and drunkards.
The Methodists and Congregationalists
are holding a series of meetings each even
ing, with a prospect of good results to the
community around. The Disciples will
also hold a protracted meeting soon.
The Huntington correspondent Of the
Net0s gives the following items in relation
t. the benevolent societies of that place
The NJ. E. Aid Society has raised $43
the past year, $3l.50 of which was cash,
and SlI.5O in goods. Tho Missionary and
Benevolent Society, including what is
called the "Sociable of the Baptist
| Church, have raised the past year S3l.
The Soldiers Aid Society, during the first
six months of the year, raised S2ll.50,
At that time it was closed, there being nc
further call for its aid. The Dime Circle
Congregational has raised the past year
$45. The four churches of the town

NORTHERN OHIO NEWS.
GEAUGA

A correspondent writing from New
berry, January 10th, says:
Having been a reader of your paper for
four years, 1 have noticed you publish
news items from surrounding counties
but 1 have never seen anything relative to
this little burgh. We have two churches,
two stores, one cheese factory, owned by
Messrs. Hall & Freeman, in which over
one hundred tons of cheese is made annu-
ally; one tannery; one blacksmith shop,
and one shoe shop. Although we are not
incorporated, and are not known abroad,
we think we are "some" in certain re-
spects. Show me the little town that has
entered into the great work of putting
down the Shareholders rebellion with more
zeal that has sent more men or furnished
more means in proportion. Now that the
great struggle is over, we are still alive to
the interests of the do~wn-trodden, for we
have our Freedmen's Aid Society, which
meets weekly, and quite a fund has been
raised already. Arrangements have been
made for a grand oyster supper on the
evening of the oath inst, in the Chapel
an admission fee of fifty cents to be charg-
ed for the benefit of the freedmen. W.
expect a liberal patronage and a pleasant
time.

The Suicide of Pareia.

The dispatches to-day confirm the rumor
that the Spanish Admiral, Pareja, has
committed suicide in a fit of modification
at the capture of one or two of his YES
sells by Gillian gun-boats. Poor ParejaI
His career in this hemisphere was brief but
brilliant. He made his debut in the role
of Bombastes Furioso, breathing forth fire
and slaughter, full of threatenings, and
thirsty for blood, He submitted his ultl-
mGtuns with terrible threats as to what he
should do If it were not complied with.
Chill snubbed him and prepared for war.
The result has been that he was worsted
in his first engagement, and, full of shame
and spleen, has cut his throat. 1t needs
men of sterner stuff than this blue-blood-
ed Don to wage war in these days. The
Scripture says hat he hat ruleth his own
spirit is greater than he that taketh a city
but the of a country must first
learn to conquer himself. This self-slain
Spaniard has evidently learned to do
neither.

A Human MOIe-RenarkabIe Escape
from Jail.

LEOhl SOAs
A horse-stealer, named Hiram Carpsn-
ter, recently escaped from the Orleans
county jail at Albion, New York, but was
petaken. He has given the following &C
count of his escape under ground:
~ should never have thought about
trying to get out, but I heard that my wo-
man wa sick, and l wanted to see her,
and 1 asked them to take me to her house.
l was willing TO go there in handouts and
shackles, and q child might have taken
me, for 1 wouldn't have offered to get
away. But they kept putting me of, and
| made up my mind / would get out and
see her or die in trying. So 1 went at it.
al raised up the pump box and found
there was a hole in the tagging large
enough to pass through. 1 laid down on
my face on the floor and backed into the
hole feet first. 1 found the well plastered
near the top, so hanging on with my hands
1 let myself down as far as l could and
dropped. 1 had no idea of the depth of
the well, or where I should bring up; 1
only knew that the well was dry. 1 drop
ped straight with my face to the west. 1
found bottom at about twenty feet land
ing in mud and water two feet deep. At
ter recovering from the shockof the fall I
took off my boots, tied them around my
neck with my handkerchief, and Chamber
ed up to withinabout ten or twelve feet of
the top. The only tool I had was a piece
of iron about six inches long and half or
three quarters of an inch square. With
this l went to work, and after some labor
dislodged a stone from the wall. In a
very short time I was at work in the dirt.
Isupposed the foundations Of the Jail went
down about eight feet and l calculated to
begin down low enough to come up slant
ing under them. / had nothing to eat or
drink, and had nearly died for lack of air
the only air that could reach him being
the little that passed down through the
c~reviees Of the pump box). 1 worked
steadily all the time I was in there, and
hard work it was too. 1 worked lying on
my face, with the iron in my hand above
me, scraping the dirt until the weight of
my head was all that I could bear, when I
backed downand pushed it behind me tu-
to the stone filling around the wall. When
/ got near the surface I found it hard dig
ging. The ground had been filed in, it
was full of stones, and frozen hard. The
hole at the surface was so smallthat I took
of my clothing to get throughit.
~ finally got out into the air about ten
o'clock Wednesday night having tun-
nelled about twelve feet and worked at it
thirty-two hours of the hardest work 1
ever did. 1 was so weak and exhausted
when 1 got out that 1 had to lay still for
some time. At last 1 got strength enough
to climb up the wall and drop into the
park. 1 was then so weak and dizzy that
l could not walk, s. 1 crept across the
park on my hands and knees. On reach
ing the street I managed to walk, but you
would have thought I was drunk if you
had seen me; I staggered so that the side
walk wasn't wide enough for me-"

time, as the final scene drew near, other
expeditions had proceeded according to
Grants orders. Sheridan had secured the
Shenandoah Valley. Stoneman was ad-
vancing upon Lynchburg, and on every
side the armies Of the North were closing
in upon the Southern capital. At last the
catastrophe came, and in the course of a
single month we learned not only that
Richmond was taken, but that the whole
war was finished and the COnfederacy a
thing of the past. That result is undoubt-
eddy due to the military arithmetic of
General Grant. He is not the first con-
queror who has adopted the principle,
though he was the first to apply it to the
resources of a whole people, instead of the
divisions of a single army He is entitled,
therefore, to the credit which complete
success confers; and, indeed, terrible
though the cost was, it may well be ques-
toned whether an indefinite prolongation
of the war would not have cost both par
ties still more.
GRANTS COMMENTARIES.
From the Liverpool Post, Dec. 90.
General Grants Report is about to be-
come as famous as Caesars Commentaries.
1t is Intimately more important, for in the
recent civil war in America Greek met
Greek. and Grant encountered a more for
midable foe than Cesar. At first the re-
port escaped attention. 1t came in a bum
die of official documents, all figures and
few arguments; but when the story of the
campaign of 1864 was looked into, matter
was found in it calculated to interest the
world at present and for all future time.
General Grant neither writes nor thinks
like an ordinary soldier-he is a philoso-
pher, a historian, a profound statesman,
and he sinks self in his narrative, but
never fails to praise others with a palpable
conscientiousness which bespeaks the ut
most sincerity, in perfect keeping with
personal admiration and friendship.
The war had endured three years when
he was called to the command of the army.
The call made him the saviour of his
country. Unobtrusive and humble minded
though full of profound thoughts, his mer-
its discovered themselves when the oppor-
tunity presented itself. He was the man
for the time and the place, and he was the
only fully qualified one. Events approved
of Lineoln's selection, for where Mcclellan
proved an abortion, Grant alone properly
satisfied Judgment > $ : Sheridan,
the Murat ofthe Federal army, cleared the
Shenandoah Valley of the enemy, Joined
the main army when his services were re-
quired, and won the last great battle of a
hundred fights. Grant takes pride in prais-
ing him, and on Sherman he pours the
tribute of his unbounded admiration; but
as we have recently published Grants
opinion of these two great soldiers, it not
necessary to reproduce them here. Gen
eral Grants Report will forever occupy
the attention of soldiers, statesmen and ma
lions.

A Bull on the lee.


About 9 o'clock yesterday morning, a
large bull, which had become separated
from a herd on the other side of the river,
stepped forth on the ice and made for the
city of St. Louis, walking straightforward
with a digniied mien, and a look gene
rally very much like that of a Numidian
lion. His neck was about a yard wide and
a foot in thickness, and the firmness with
which he trod the brittle highway Cd
which he had embarked clearly indica-
ted to the beholder that he was a bull
with a will. At the same time that the
bull set out for this side of the river, a
serious-looking ~heavy-set gentleman from
Illinois, set out from this side for the
Illinois shore. He saw the bull approach
ing at a short distance, and liked his
looks; thought he was a bull that behaved
himself on the ice, molesting no one, and
showing by the sober expression of his
countenanee that he had sense and pluck.
He calculated that the animal would turn
aside a little when they met; but IN ap-
preaching very closely he found that the
monster was lowering his head for an at
tack. Being thiek-set and short-legged,
he was not naturally a good runner, but
the foaming wrath he saw in the bulls
eye, the uplifting of his long, straight tail,
and the shaking of his terrible neck, sickle
ned his heart, and he turned to flee. As
the bull turned to give chase, the perilous
situation of the fugitive produced a feel
ing of intense anxiety and excitement on
the part of spectators at a safe distance.
The wild beast was upon him in q second,
and the manner in which he was lifted
g., L.. hno1e on1 h,rlaH o1nff Soma ton
feet into the air, presented itself as a ludi-
crous and amusing spectacle to the crowd,
though the unfortunate victim, no doubt,
had his eyes closed, and was uttering q
prayer for his own salvation while under
going the lofty tumbling. Taking the
seat of the mans pantaloons squarely be-
tween his horns, the mad animal tossed
him helplessly high overhead, to the dis
lance, as stated by some, of three or
four times the mans perpendicular height.
Alighting in about the same posture in
which he went up he sat for a while a
picture of utter dismay. He soon recov-
cred his wits, however, and, strangely
enough, was found to be only slightly
bruised. The bull rushed madly on and
presently encountered another man, whose
name, we are informed, is J.. E. Miller,
who received serious injuries. Instead Of
running, he tried to take the bull by the
horns and give battle. One of the horns
of the infatuated beast was thrust directly
into his eye, tearing II from its socket.
The animal finally reached the levee, and
instead of being shot, was driven out Elm
street, and thence out Clark ven to
some stock yard. Miller was picked up
in a partially insensible condition, and
was taken to a room on the levee, where
he was attended by DR.. Vanzador.
