The newspaper has become the log
book of the age. 1t tells at what rate
the world is running; we cannot find
our "reckoning" without it.
True, the green grocer may bundle
up pound of candles in our last eX-
pressed thoughts, but it is only coming
to base uses, something that is done
times innumerable.
We console ourselves by thinking
that ono can make of that newspaper
what he cannot make of living Oaks-
bridge for time, that he can fling over
the chasm of dead years and walk
safely back upon the shadOwy sea into
the far past. The singer shall not end
his song, nor the soul be eloquent no
more.
The realm of the press is enchanted
ground. Sometimes the editor has the
happiness of knowing that he has de-
Tended the right, exposed the wrong,
protected the weak; that he has given
utterance to sentiment that had cheer
ed somebody's hour, made somebody
happier, kindled smile upon Il sud
face or hope on heavy heart.
He may meet with that sentiment
many years after, it may have lost all
charms of its PATERNITY, but he feels
affection for It. He welcomes it as II
long absent child. He reads it as for
tho. first time, and wonders If, Indeed,
he wrote 1t, for he has changed since
then. Perhaps he could not give utter
ance to the sentiment now-perhnps he
would not if he could.
1t seems like the voice of his former
self calling to his parents, and there is
something mournful in his tono. lie
begins to think-to remember why he
wrote it, who were his readers then, and
how much he has changed. So he
muses., until he finds himself wonder
Ing if that thought of his will continue
to float after he is dead, and whether he
is really looking upon something that
will survive him. And then comes the
sweet consciousness that there is moth
ing in the sentence that he could wish
unwritten-that is n better part of him
shred from garment of Immortality
he shall leave behind him when he joins
the "innumerable caravan" and takes
his place in the silent halls of death.

GEAUGA COUNTY.

The Chardon Democrat says a most re-
markable circumstance occurred in Burton
township, Monday, July 10th, of rescuing
a child from drowning in a well. Mrs.
Timothy Fowler, missing her Youngest
child, a bright little boy about two wears
old, soon discovered him in the we'll.
about twenty feet deep, with five feet Of
water. Though a slender and frail woman
vet with a speed and courage uneaualed
save by thst Scotch mother who few up
the mountain cliffs and rocky sleeps TO
rescue from the eagles tallons her Abon-
ME wee BARN. she descended at the
risk of her life, by climbing down the
stone wall to the bottom, and lifted the
apparently lifeless form from a "waterv
grave and there in the bottom of that
well, began the work of resuscitation.
Her husband a mile away and no one
nearer than the nearest neighbors. sixty
rods distant, except her oldest child, a lit
tie girl about three years old, who was
looking in at the top of the well, she told
her to go to the nearest neighbors and
tel them the situation, and she went. as
best she could, climbing the fences on her
way. A neighbor, happening to be at
the house, came with all haste, and res
cued them both after remaining in the
well half an hour; the mother struggling
all this time to bring the child to life.
The neighbors were 500 on the ground,
and, by dint of their united energy and
perseverance, the cold and bruised form I
was warmed into life. The child re-
manned in a comotose condition during
the night, but at last accounts it seemed
to be doing well, and fair hopes are enter
tanned of a speedy recovery.

The Oberlin Netoy publishes a list of the
incomes in excess of 5000, reported for
1865 in that sub-district "a few more
taxable incomes are reported from Ober-
lin than last year, and the total amount is
somewhat larger. But in the other four
towns there is a remarkable falling of,
only twenty-six persons acknowledging
IN income over six hundred dollars where
one hundred and five did last year. One

what Sort of Delegates VIII Attend
the Rrend and Butternut Convention.

Whaf Sort of Delegates VIII Attend
the Bread and Butternut Convention.
The butternut element in Ohio politics
will be represented by Vallandigham,
who is bad enough, dear knows. But the
Pennsylvania Democracy will send some
delegates whose advocacy of secession
was more vehement ever than his. Judge
Woodward, one of their delegates at
large, at a meeting held in Independence
Square, Philadelphia, in December, 1860,
said: ut seems to me that there must be
a time when shareholders may fall back
on their natural rights and employ, in
defence of their slave property. whatever
means of protection they possess or can
command" These remarks were coupled
with a declaration that the South should
be permitted ito go peseeably'' if she was
determined to secede.
George NJ. Wharton, q delegate from
Philadelphia, held forth at a Copperhead
meeting soon after the commencement of
the war, and declared that "there was no
power in the Constitution to prevent any
State from seeding, and that it would be
good policy for Pennsylvania to make the
experiment"
F. W. Hughes, a delegate appointed
from the Tenth District declared in Oc-
tober, 1863, at Pottsville, that 'he did not
want to furnish the army with soldiers,
he was cOHs~cieHtiously opposed to the toar,
and would not furnish the means to car
~ it on"
There will be a wonderful sympathy
between these men and the horde of n
repentant unpardoned rebels who will
come up to Philadelphia from the South,
clad in the faded uniform of the Confed-
eracy, and we doubt not that the peculiar
yell of the rebel soldiery in battle, SO well
known to the boys in blue, as a cross be-
tween the howl of a hungry eGyota and
the yelp of a whipped hound, will be IN
m~istakably distinguished in the applause
and cheers of that assemblage when it gets
warmed up.

COUNTY.

From the New Philadelphia Chronicle
The oil well at Reeds Run has reached
a depth Of sos feet. On last Saturday a
very strong vein of salt water was struck,
| some of which was boiled down and pro-
duced six ounces of salt to the gallon. Oil
still appears in small quantities, but is a
query with interested parties whether II
would not pay better to tube the well.and
enter upon the manufacture of salt. It's
estimated that the well would yield from
two hundred to three hundred barrels Of
salt per day-which would afford an in
come of shout two hundred thousand dol
lars per year.
Some weeks ago, 3 turkey hen in Canal
Dover took it into her head that she must
hatch a lot of little turkeys. Her male
partner wasn't satisfied with the arrange
ment, and seemed determined to share the
labor Of Setting and in order to COM
promise the matter, the owner gave the
gobler a nest of several eggs, who took
possession, and in due course of time
Matched out a fine brood of young turkeys.
The story looks a little fshy, but we are
assured that it is true.
From the New Philadelphia AdUoeate :
We learn that a murder was committed
in U~hrichsville last Tuesday evening.
Two Irishmen, in attendance at the
| funeral of a child who died in that town
| and was taken to Dover on Tuesday for
burial, became intoxicated after their re-
turn home, and got into a quarrel. As a
result one of them stabbed the other. The
wounded man ran, the blood gushing
| from the wound. The other followed
him, and, as we learn, succeeded in stab
bling him again, causing death. We are
unable at this time to learn names, or
further particulars, only that the murderer
has been arrested.

LIeut-Gen. sherman,

The promotion of Gen. Grant to the
revived grade Of General has led to the
deserved elevation of Sherman 10 the
honors and emoluments of the vacant
Lieutenant Generalship. Next to Grant
Sherman occupies the warmest place in
the affections of the loyal people of the
country, and his promotion will be recog-
nized by civilians as the well earned re-
ward of his arduous labors, consummste
skill and ~unfinching adherence to duty :;
while it will be hailed With delight by the
soldiers Of that magnificent, unconquera-
Bile army which he led "Down to the Ses."
Rear Admiral Porter, promoted Vice
Admiral, has no reason to complain that
Republics are ungrsteful."

News from the Atlantic Cable expedi-
ton may now be expected any hour. The
shore end was landed at Valentia Bay OF
the It'll, and if no accident has happened,
the Great Eastern ought TO reach New
foundland to-day or tomorrow. The As
ISOLATED Press will receive by telegraph
at the earliest moment a full report of the
operations connected with the laying Of
of the cable. Should the present attempt
prove slecessful-and there is every
probability that it wilt is not likely
that the public enthusiasm will run so
high as it did in 1858, when a spasm of
frantic exultation seized the land in re-
Spouse to the message of "al right-De
Ssuty." People have settled down into
the belief, however, that the thing will
succeed sometime, and Cyrus W. Field,
already honored as the i-mpersonation Of
pluck, will be elevated at once and for
ever to the very tallest possible pinnacle
of fame. The New York Tribune in a
late issue gives a detailed history Of all
previous efforts to unite the old world
with the new by a Geographic thread,
which we coadense as \ matter Of inter
est lust at this time. The first attempt
was made in 1857. The cable was placed
in equal parts on two steamers, one, the
Niagara, an American vessel the other,
the A~gamemnon, an English ship, These
vessels sailed to mid ocean and on the
26th of June started in opposite direc-
tions, paying out the cable. The wire
parted three times, and the attempt was
given up, to be renewed by the vessels
in August of the same year, when, after
3s5 miles had been paid out, the wire
broke again. The next year the third
attempt was made with the same vessels.
On the 18th of July the ends CT the cable
were Joined in mid ocean, and on the 9th
of August the two ships arrived simulta-
neously at their respective destinations
For a few days it was possible to talk
across the ocean, but De Ssuty and the
electric fluid, after a brief flash, went out
as suddenly as a snuffed candle. The
next and fourth unsuccessful attempt was
made last summer with which everybody
is familiar. Every repeated attempt has
been preceded by great Improvements in

ipulation in paying out, and if the present
enterprise should fail, it cannotb be doubted
that the next, or the next after that, will
result in a permanent success.

A story About Rismark.

In his youth the Count was a gay stu
dent, very popular with his associates on
account of his good humor. The old men
of Gottingen still remember this tai
young man. who played them so many
practical jokes. The story of Bismark's
bUotmaker has become famous in the an
nails of the university. 1t is thus related
by the correspondent Of the Courier:
Young Bismark, having been invited
to a s%oirec, where he was to dance with
the prettiest girls in Gottingen, had
ordered a pair of patent-leather boots for
the occasion. As the day approached,
the young student became more uneasy.
"You will not have your boots" said his
comrades.
"But I will have them" answered the
future Minister.
On the eve of the great day Bismark
entered the shop and asked for his boots,
Monsieur said the tradesman, 81 am
in despair; but l have so many orders for
the ball tomorrow
"Ah! that is it" said the student
VERY well-we shall see."
He went out, but at the end of half an
hour returned, with two of those enor-
nous dogs which the German students are
accustomed to keep at the expense of their
messes.
"Monsieur," said Bismark, "you sec
these dogs?'
ayes"
"Yery WE'LL l swear they will tear you
into five hundred thousand pieces unless
l have my boots by ton Orrow evening"
He went out-but from hour to hour 8
porter, hired for the purpose, would STOP
before the bootmaker's shop and cry out
in lugubrious tones:
"UnhappY mani forget not Monsieur
de Bismarks boots ~
The bootman had only that night to
finish the articles required of him by this
singular ultimatlng. At ten o'clock he
closed his shop, and said to his wife with
a sigh:
"Lot US gol We must sleep"
All Of a sudden, in the middle of the
night be hears the barking of the horrible
dogs and the voice of young Bismark.
crying in the street:
"Bootmaker of my soul, thy life is in
danger. Think of thy familyl'
The next day the student had his patent
leather boots, and danced like a mailman.

made a pound of cheese, so that 1850 lbs
of cheese are being turned off every day.
In the cheese-room there are now about
