The number Of acres under cultivation is 2S9.l6O.
There are 1852 LOrscs-or more than one to
each man, woman and child. There are l25.636
cattle. and 3I3IS9 sheep. producing $4,000
pounds Of wool. The staple products are wheat.
oats. barley. hay. wool. gold dust. corn, TO-
ba,co. potatoes. apples. lumber, cheese. butter and
salmon. Coal mines are extensively worked. and
several sLip-yards are established. In population
and the number Of horses, Oregon ranks about
equal to this Kingdom. We find no valuation given
TO the products OF her soil. and We question whether
her population raise more in value than does that
of this Kingdom. or whether her exports exceed
ours. -

NORTHERN OHIO NEWS.
A~sHTABULA COUNTY.

From the Conneaut Reporter:
A disgusting tale of scandal is at pres
ent on the tapis in our village or which
some people of heretofore good repute are
directly interested. If the half be true
that is reported, our readers will hear more
of it anon.
On Friday night last the earth was vio-
lently shaken, accompanied by a loud dull
report which made noise enough to awake
several persons from sound sleep. Upon
examination in the morning it was discov-
cred that several fissur 8 in the earth bad
been made. One of these extended from
Mr.. Henry Thurberis residence on Main
street, across the road, and down the bank
to the creek, a distance not varying much
from twenty rods, and was about three
inches wide, and some four or five feet
deep: Whether or not this really was a
shock of an earthquake, in the general &C
ceptance of the term, we are not able to
state, but it is the opionion of our meteoro-
logical friends that it was the action of the
extreme cold. We learn that the phenom-
ena was noticed in Ashtabula and other
points in this section and the conclusion
was equally as great as here.
We thought the "Deacon's one horse
shay was built down in Massachusetts,
but according to the Reporter the ancient
vehicle is in Conneaut: "Mr. Slyman
Brown is now using the first buggy man
ufactured in this township. 1t was built
by a man named Clark, over forty years
ago, and is still in good condition. Bug

All hail Missouri The gallant Union
lists of this noble state have spoken out
with emphasis and decision on the great
issue of the day. The telegraph has al
ready furnished our readers with the reso-
buttons passed by her legislature, on Fri
day, by II to Is in the House and 81 to 8
in the Senate. They declare direct oppo-
sition to the President on the issue of i'm
mediately restoring the South TO power
and indorse in unqualified terms the ac-
ton of the Union majority in the Senate
who voted to pass the Freedmen's Bureau
bill over the Presidents veto. In that
action spoke the free and fearless people
of Missouri, who, independent of executive
patronage, and breaking loose from the
allurements of office, have sent back their
response to the Presidents defiance in
thunder tones. Missouri takes the palm
to day as the bravest and most indepen-
dent of the States of the Union. Who
will follow her example2

coLUMBIANA COUNTY.

From the New Lisbon Buckeye State !:
An entire family, consisting of seven
persons, father, mother, two sons, two
daughters, and a granddaughter, named
Dixon, living on a farm in Columbiana
county, have become affected with lunacy.
They belong to the Society of Friends,
and prior TO their settlem mt here, had
been esteemed very wealthy; but excess
i've b%enevolence and liberality carried it
away, and left them comparatively poor.
There had been a series of revival meet
ings held in their neighborhood, and the
thought took possession of them that they
had not been living as holy as they ought.
The question of holding family worship
was agitated among them, some favoring
and others opposing, until about the I'd
inst, when the climax was reached, and
the youngest girl went about the house
singing and praying, and finally became
d~eranged, and tok to her bed, and for ten
days spoke not a woodland partook of
food only twice during that time. About
the same time the elder girl commenced
singing and preaching, and continued it
for a period of ten days in succession, at
times using the most chaste and modest
expressions, at others the most obscene
and disgusting. The others were not SO
badly deranged as these two, but enough
to suspend the operations of reason and
understanding. The father of these girls
regarded his youngest daughter as his
mediator and savior between HIM and
Christ, and would not allow her to take
any medicine or food. At times, they all
had lucid intervals, and talked and acted
sensibly. The two young men have so
far recovered as to be able to attend to
their ordinary employment. The family
had to be scattered, some among their
friends-the two girls were sent to the
asylum, and an application is pending for
the admission of the father to the same
institution.
Last week a new well was struck on
the farm formerly owned by Captain May,
located near Dry Run, Ohio, and about
two miles below the mouth of Little Bea-
yer Creek. This well, from appearances,
will yield about twenty barrels of oil per
day. 1t is located within twenty rods of
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad,
which will afford great facilities for ship
ping.
DR.. Brinker and ]. NJ. Mowry have
leased forty acres of oil territory from
Belus LounsbuIy, about one mile north
west of town, for thirty years, paying one
eighth royalty lease. They propose stock
ing it, and commence boring as soon as
practicable.

THE FENIANS.
Proceeding. orthe pittsburgh Congress.
From the Pittsburgh Commercial, Feb. 23.l
FOURTH DAY.

From the Pittsburgh Commercial, Feb. 23.l
FOURTH DAY.
The Fenian Congress re-assembled yes
terday morning, at nine o'clock. The
delegations were all represented, and the
proceedings in every respect harmonious.
The presentation of General S~weeney's
report, as FeniaR Secretary of War, was
the special order for the day, and, nat
urally, created a great deal of enthusiasm
among the delegates. The Senate was
s~entee, and at the appointed hour t tive
branches of theiFenian Congress were sr-
ganized in joint convention.
The report of Major General Sweeney,
Secretary of War, being next in order,
was then read by the General, who was
received with the most enthusiastic cheer
ing. The plans of General Sweeney were
set forth in e~TtenSo, and received the most
unqualified endorsement.
The report was referred to a military
committee, consisting of forty-eight dele
gates, who were in session for several
hours yesterday afternoon, and their de-
alterations were of the most harmonious
character, and resulted satisfactorily to the
Congress.
The report of Adjutant General Tevis
was presented to the Congress, and duly re-
ierred.
A resolution was adopted requiring the
chairman of each delegation to report the
number of men and arms, quantity of am
munition and the amount of money that
their respective circles will furnish. A
resolution was then adopted, unanimously,
that the Congress adjourn out of respect
to Washington's birthday. Adjourned.
The appearance in Pittsburgh, of B.
Doran Killian, the Secretary of the o Ma
honys' money box has created consider
able feeling among the delegates. There
was a m that the Killian delegation
had made overtures for a recognition, but
up to a late hour last night none had been
given TO them. The Congress, it is un-
derstood, utterly repudiates them, and will
not receive any proposition from them
that looks to such a result of the imbrog-
Ito.

Our readers will not and can not forget
the historic occasion when, on the Gath of
October, 1864, Andrew johnson, then
Provisional Governor Of Tennessee and
Union candidate for Viee-President, stood
before an audience of ten thousand colored
men, IN Nashville, and amid cheers which
shook the sky, registered most solemnly
this ~high-sounding pledge and promise:
al UiH indeed be your Noses, and lead you
Through the Red Sea Of oar and bondage to a
"futnre Of liberty and peace. Ispeak nOV ds
Hone cho feels the lcorld his country, and all
a. loko Eove equal rights has friends. 7 speak,
o.too, cs a citizen of TenHessee.
"E0yal msa, sohether White or black, shall
" alone control her destiniesj and Ohen this
"strift in Which We are all engaged is past, I
"trKSt, I knolo, ace shall bave a better state Of
q things, and shall all rejoice that honest labor
"reaps the fruit of its olOn industry, and that
"eDery man has a fair chance IN the race Of
"fVe.S
Andrew johnson is now President of
the United States. He was made so by
the votes of men who had full faith in his
promise. He has failed to keep it. How
much more meanly does he appear when
addressing a crowd of yelling Copper
heads in drunken denunciation Of the
party which elected him, and in childish
whining that the leaders of that party in
tend his assassination, han when, a plain
citizen, he stood upon the steps Of the
capital at Nashville, and, as if inspired by
some good spirit, spoke to the freedmen of
Tennessee in Il strain of lofty %sloquenee
unsurpassed by any effort of his life before
or since. 1t would have been better for
the reputation and fair fame of Andrew
johnson if he had fallen when Abraham
Lincoln was murdered, instead of living
to blot the page of his history with such a
stain as he has now placed upon it, and to
hear himself applauded by Northern Cop
and SOuthern traitors.

InSn.on FirrIe at Coiumbus.

The Democrats of Columbus, together
with a few ofice-holding Republicans,
have been moving heaven and earth to
get up a mass convention in that city on
the 22nd to rejoice over Johnson's veto.
A Democratic caucus was held to make
due preparations for it. The ofice-hold-
ers were equally busy. But the enthu-
siasm of the people was entirely lacking,
and the whole project hzzled away into
nothing. No meeting was held, and that
Copperhead paper, the Statesman which
is the new organ of the President in Co
lumbus is now denying that any attempt
was made to get up one.

President johnson, on a very memoir
able occasion, once promised the colored
people that he would be their Moses, and
lead them through the Red Sea Of war
and bondage to the fairer land of liberty
and peace. The figure was a happy one.
1t will be remembered that Moses was not
deemed worthy to enter that promised
land to which he had led the people, but
that he died a natural death within sight
of its fair borders. President johnson is
now completing the role of Moses, which
he undertook a year and a half sgo, by
dying a political death, just as we are
approaching "the promised land of lib
ertv and peace"

he had no ambition to satisfy except to
work in the ranks, and while he sckncwl-
edged the intended honor, he deemed it
proper to say that the best place for which
he was fitted by nature and education was
in that branch where the sword was to
carve out the future destiny of the Irish
race.
President Roberts has no intention Of
relaxing his efforts in behalf of the Fenian
interest. He proposed in his message to
withdraw from the Presidency from the
highest motives, but General Sweeney
and the Congress refuse to dispense with
his aid, and the prospect is that he will
continue in office, as such is the unanimous
desire of the Congress.
1t is predicted that the Fenian Congress.
will conclude its labors to-day.
Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-02-26

The New York Times contains an edi-
t~orial, the purport of which is, that the
delegations who are daily pumping
speeches out ofthe President drop in upon
him when his thoughts are not arranged,
and his outgivings are not quite what the
country has a right to expect. This adj
vice, we apprehend, while directed to the
delegations to call less frequently, is prin-
cipally intended to suggest to the Presi-
dent that he is making too many speeches,
in which view w cheerfnlly concur.
