uonth OF AbTnhnm Mnw'kin..

The subject of this brief memoir, was
born in Shenandoah county, Virginie,
March. 1905, and had he lived to next
March would have been 90 years of oge.-
MIR. Hawkins cameto this city about thirty
five years ago, and was engaged as a guard
In the old Penitentlary about two years.
Subsequently, he went to Michigan, where
he was engaged in driving stage for some
time. From thence lie went TO Ashtabula
county aud was engaged in the same busi-
ness for two years, and from thence to this
city, and was in the employment of Messrs.
Neil, Moore & Co. as stage driver, between
Jacktown aud this city for over seven
years. In those days there were no rail-
roads, and the stage coach was the only
mode by which travellers were conveyed
with any Thing like speed through the
country. Mr.. Hawkins was great favor
ite along his route and also with his Gun
poyers. He was faithful, honest and
trustworthy, always punctual in the per-
formance of his duty in every position in
which he was placed. In short, he was an
honest man-'the noblest work of God"
In the year 1852 he became very much
afflicted with the asthma, and was unable
to follow his occupation, and through the
solicitation of Mr.. William Neil, Sen, he
obtained the situation of guard at the Ohio
Penitentiary, which he has since held, not
withstanding the many changes which
have been made in its administration. For
five years he was stationed at the outer
gate, and the balance of the time at the
door leading from the guard room into the
prison. He was familiarly called "Old
Uncle Abe" and his smiling serene coun-
tenance and white head will long be re-
membered by the habitues of the prison.
He leaves companion with whom he
lived many happy years of bis peaceful and
quiet life, who mourDs his departure from
this vale of tears with pungent sorrow.
His remains were deposited in Green Lawn |
Cemetery yesterday at 2 o'clock z. NJ.

OuP Public SchOoIa.

The Public Schools of this city have a
Holiday Vacation until January 2nd, when
the Winter term will begin. Teachers
and Pupils will doubtless improve the time,
and enjoy themselves as they always do
during vacations.
Mr.. Mitchell, the Superintendent, has
labored faithfully and energeticBlly since
the beginning of this School Year; and,
in conjunction wi til the efficient and ex-
cellent corps of Teachers, is to be congrat-
ulated upon the excellence Of our Schools.
The NINETY per cent? arrangement
which provides that all Pupils whose
standing" is above that figure shall be
dismissed tw days before the close of the
term for the Holidays, without being sub
jccted to the usual examina ion-was made
applicable to the Grammar Schools and the
intermediate Schools, aud has worked ad-
mira)ly. Pupils in these Schools (about
two-thirds of alD whose standing" is
above "ninety per cent" were dismissed on
Wednesday, while Thursday and Friday
are being devoted to the examination of
those under ninety" .#
The Middle Building Grammar School,
In charge of Mr.. Alfred Kirk, assisted BY
Miss Katie McEl Kinney, has proud rec
ord and carries off the palm. The entire
School was dismissed for the Holidays un-
der this arrangement, on Wednesday-eve-
ry Pupil being over "ninety per cent" and
some almost reaching the maximum, one
hundred per cent. This standing" is, per-
haps, unexampled in the history of Schools,
and reflects great credit upon Mr.. Kirk and
Miss McEl Kinney, as we'll as upon Miss
McEl Hinney's immediate predecessor,
Miss Bruce, now Mrs. Kirk.
The standing" of Miss Minnie loves
Secondary School, also in the Middle
Building, is over ''ninety per cent?" as
well as that of the Grammar School; and
we desire to put it upon record to her
credit. The other Schools in this Build
ing have also attained very creditable
"standings,"

Specials in the interest Of the Radicals
are giving circulation to reports that civil
ians from the North in suudry portions OF
the South are subject to maltreatment, and
that generally the South is not pleasant
place for Northern men and Negroes to
dwell in. We understand this. IL is by no
means contribution to truth. Just nov
an effort Is made to furnish some sort
justifying pretexts to Radicals to carry
through their revolutionary schemes. Wei
our people fully satisfied that the Souther.
people are neither contumaciOus towal
the Federal Government nor harsh or un
just In their treatment of the Negroes,
would be very troublesome work to caus
them to sanction the overthrow of the Stat
governments Of the South. Such politics
ungodliness they would encourage alone
the ground that it was the only agenc
through which the South can be regene
rated.
But supposing the representations ar
true in regard to the feeling OF the Soutl
ern people toward the Union and the Ne
groes, what Is to be done? Will measure
that look to their further degradatio
make, them more lovingly inclined t.,
ward the Union and the Negroes? 1t !!
very questionable, viewed in the MOI
favorable light. Instead of securing f,
the Negroes more lenient treatment, tn ,
probability is that it would be the mean ,
of begetting for them treatment of greattr 9
severity. What Is to be done, then9 u
we cannot take trust in the manhood q
the Southern people that they will des
honorably and justly with the Negroes,

where their friends live? Governor WoRTlJ
of North Carolina, in his recel.
Message, mCde substantially sugf
gestion of this sort. The suggestion
seems a good one under the ciicun
stances, 1t may be objected that the
moval Of the Negroes north would be a
tended with an oppressive expense; br
how much in excess would this expense
of the expense that must necessarily atten
the enforcement of the Radical revolution
airy measures contemplated by Congre
at the point of the bayonet? OF course, til
better way would be 10 treat the Souther
Whites as White men having manhood all
honor, which they will maintain fully
so treated. Such treatment will preclud
the necessity of either removing the NJ
groes, or of putting standing army inte
the South to regulate matters. 1t is tht
policy of craftsmanship; it is the policy G,
he Constitution; it is the policy that will
produce lasting and harmonious Union,
md 1t is the policy the Democratic party
would pursue.

Opera laOuae.

There was very fair audience at the
Operas House last night to witness for the
third time Mr.. Barrett's splendid rendition
of the beautiful play of Rosedale," and
as on former occasions were enthusiastic in
their demonstrations of approval. Mr.. Bar
rett's rendition of the character of Elliott
Gray far exceeds, in our opinion, any actor
on the American stage, and that is saying
a good deal. His carriage is manly, digni-
fled and bold, and his enunciation is so plain
that even his whispers are heard distinctly
in every portion of the house.
Tonight the long talked Of and eagerly
looked for play OF " Griffith Gaunt" will
be presented, in which Mr.. Barrett appears
as Griffith, and Miss NJ. L. Gordon as Kate
Peyton. AS Mr.. Barrett takes a benefit
this evening, we may expect a crowded
house.

The PIUua House I'm Ruins.

Our city was the scene of a rather extern
sive coDflagration on Sunday evening last,
in he destruction of the Piqua House.
The alarm was sounded about half-past
seven O'clock, and the people focked to the
scene of the fire from the churches and
their residences in quick time, and the Fire
Companies were promptly on the ground,
but before holes could be cut through the
ice in the canal and the engines In work.
ing order, the root was all in flames. But
after water was secured, the Firemen
worked with will, and in very short
time the fire was checked and prevented
from reaching the adjoining blocks, but not
without the entire destruction of the roof
and third story of the Piqaa House. The first
and second stories are damaged to a greater
or less extent by water, and the partial
demolition of the walls and ceilings. The
outside walls seem to be but little damaged,
and the proprietor, A. G. Conover, Esq.,
has made arrangements to put 1t under
roof Immediately.
The loss on the building Is about $4,000.
Insured in the Knox Mutual for So 600.
The furniture of the hotel, belonging TO
Mr.. Haller (the laudlord), was mostly
saved, but greatly damaged in getting it
out. Loss about $1,000 fully insured.
The fire originated from the detection of
flue at the cave of the roof, at the south
side of the building. Within the past two
years several alarms of fire have been
sounded by the detection or "burning out'
of the Piqua House chimneys, and has at
last eliminated In its destruction Piqud

Ladies', Bnzaar.

The Atheneum was crowded last night,
and the interest manifested by the citizens
in giving substantial aid to the Ladies' Be-

the benevolent view of helping the poor and
unfortunate of our city, and 1t is now for
the philanthropic citizens to show their APP
probation of their efforts, by their presence
and patronage.
The performance tonight will be one OF
more than usual interest, consisting in part
of tableaux, music, farley Wax Works,
Shadow Pantomimes, Original Minstrels

Because THADDEUs STEVENS made 1
speech against Mr.. LAwRENCE's bill thai
had for its object the trial and execution o.
JEFF. DAVIS for Treason, some editor has
felt called upon to say 1.-THE prodigal son,
after eating husks awhile finally came to
himself" We don't perceive in what par
ticular Mr.. STEVENS has changed. If he
was "prodigal son" seating husks" be-
fore he made the speech alluded to, he is
beyond doubt living on the same sort of
diet now. He is opposed to the trial and
execution OF JEFF. DAVIS for Treason sim
ply and solely because that would put a
perfect quietus upon his assumption that
there is no peace" yet, and that we hold
the Southern people who were engaged in
the Secession movement as ''captives"-as
a conquered people, subject to such condi-
tions as the vindictive feelings OF fanatical
and narrow-minded politicians might feel
disposed to inhict upon them. He thinks
more can be made out of them by dealing
with them as ''captives" than by putting a
few of their leaders on trial for treason.
His hatred toward the Southern people is
to-day as impracticabe as ever it was.

Impeachment Feeling.

The Washington special of the Cincinnati
Gazette, under date of the 10th, sends the
following:
THE feeling in favor fan impeachment
grows stronger every day. In the running
debate upon removals from office to-day,
Mr.. Bingham, OF Ohio, said very pointedly
that if, upon investigation, it should ap-
pear that the President had removed COM
petent and faithful men to secure his own
corrupt and personal ends, it would con-
stitute high crime and misdemeanor
within the meaning of the Constitutions
and the members of the House were bound
by their oaths to take action in the mat
ter"
The idea that removals from Office is an
impeachable offense is novel, indeed.

When in the Mayors Office yesterday, a

man who had pawned some clothing with
her for boarding, stating that she was un-
able to find her. She had found the place
where the woman had recently boarded,
where she had left her young child as Sc

strange way of paying board bill, and its
novelty may induce others to pay their
