From the Sentinel
In Windsor there was quite a flood on
Phelps Creek, last week. The Ice broke
up and carried everything before it. The
bridge on the center road, leading to
Huntsburg, and part Of the dam at Skin
ner's Mil, were carried oil. Other dam
age was also done.
The bridge over Mills Creek, between
Jefferson and EagleviilC. was carried away
by the high water and ice last Saturday.
From the Conneaut Reporter:
Il seems that our scandal item in last
weeks paper was m]iscOnstrued by some
in such IL manner as to give currency 10
the scandalous story in circulation. We
regret this in the extreme, inasmuch rs
the story was entirely without foundation
and started by an individual through mall
icious motives, and hasten to make due
rcparatIJn to the injured parties.
Sometwo or three weeks ago, Mr.. Py-
menus Thompson, Of this township, met
with quite a severe misfortune, by the dis
charge Of & loaded revolver which he was
cleaning. The ball passed through the
fore-fnger of the right hand, and lodged
in his hip, where it still remains, the ply

The deluging rain Of Friday night and
Saturday, swelled Conneaut creek, bank
full. The bridge near Clark's Corners,
known rs the old Furnace Bridge" was
swept down stream, butment and stringer.
The bridge just below Tinker Hollow was
also carried away on Saturday night.

The Herald Seeks for Consolation AT
the Preside.


The Cleveland Herald, disguised at the
sentiments expressed by the "vilifers Of
President johnson ii. e. the indepen-
dent Union newspaners-at the great
political centers" and lesser political
centers, has taken an appeal to the
- weekly press" which, as the Herald pO-
e~tically suggests, represents the fre-side
sentiments Of the rural districts The
Herald would have US believe, though it
dare not directly assert, that the " fre-side
sentiment aforesaid s~ustains the veto
message Of the President, andfails to con-
denim his infamous harangue delivered to
a crowd of ~applauding secessionists on
the evening of the 22d ILL., Directly the
contrary is the case. We have been at
some pains to ascertain the position Of the
Union newspapers of the State, and find
that the proportion of Union weekly
Journals which condemn the message is
much larger than that of dailies. Of the
eleven Union dailies in the State, four sup
port and seven condemn the message
while of the Union weeklies which have
taken position on it only three support it
and t0enty-nine condemn it. If the Her.
aid can find any consolation in these Gre
side sentiments" it is welcome to them.
We ought, perhaps, to add that not one Of
the seven Union papers which sup
port the veto message of the Pres
ident, with the exception Of the
Cleveland Herald, has had the ineffable
meanness to applaud the Presidents dis
graceful speech Of the 22d alt. Among
the Union papers of Ohio, and, indeed, Of
the entire West, the Herald stands alone
in its ~unblushing defense of Mr.. Johnson's
wonderful harangue.

Mr.. Dixon, of Connecticut, one of the
weakened Senators who changed front
on the Bureau Bill under the pressure of
Presidential dictation, made a significant
admission the other day in the course of
his speech in defense of Mr.. johnson.
Copperhead McDougsll of California rose
to ask Mr.. Dixon a question, when the
latter exclaimed 4 beg the Senator
from California to xcuse me; I suppose
we are both on the same side g." Mr.. Dixon
was right; and yet it is a strange and sad
spectacle, this of Senators elected as Re
publicans d~enouncing men like Trumbun
and Fessenden. and hailing men like the
drunken eopperhead McDOugall as "On

Baron Rothschild has been swindled. A

venerable and decrepIt old man offered to
sell him Il splendid service Of old china
twelve plates only-fOr an annuity of t4S.
The man looked so old and so near his
end that the Baron consented; but when
the Month had elapsed, instead of his ven
cradle friend, a spruce, vigorous young fei-
low Of about thirty claimed the annuity.
The Baron stood aghast. "Why, you
seemed a century old a month ago!'

lance has renewed my lease Of Hfe!'

that he did not know why he should OBJ

"When Mr.. Seward rose last night"
said the next days ECeaiHg Post, che did
not know holc greatly tie President had
lust ofsnded." But Mr.. Seward did know
q how greatly the President had just OF
Tended. A morning journal, Al organ of
the Government, says:
"Three or four dispatches were sent to
Mr.. Seward stating that the speech of Mr..
johnson was aJrightful one, a speech that
heeouid not endorse, and begging him not
to speak at Cooper Institute"
One of these warnings was sent by Il u.
S. senator, and the other by a Cabinet
minister! But Mr.. Seward was not afraid
Of any thing frightful. He made his speech
that night; he perused the Presidents
next morning; he gave thanks for that
immortal ouiurgation; and he forwarded
the following congratulation by telegraph
to Washington:
NEW York, Feb. D, 1866.
1t Is all right and safe. The Union Is
restored and the country safe. The Presi-
dent s speech IS TRIUMPHANT, and the
country will be happy.
CSignedl W. II. SEWARD.
Thus Mr.. Seward shares the guilt OF his
master, ~re-enacts and iutensities the EN-
ecutive insult to Congress, and announces
to an astounded nation that the President :
Cabinet Minister for Foreign Affairs Is
happy to regard the Senates Chairman Of
Foreign Relations asa traitor, conspiraJOr.

GOVERNOR CoX's LETTER.
\ despatch to the Chicago Tribune
says:
The course of Gov. Cox here is severely
condemned by the Ohio members. and the
grave objections to his letter were stated
to him by several of them, when he read
it to the delegation. Still he insisted upon
sending it, and made very careful arrange
ments TO have it telegraphed over the
country in full by the Associated Press.
This Is understood to be a part of the
scheme TO sllay the storm which the
course of the President has raised, and the
fact that Gov. Cox should lend himself to
it is considered inexplicable.
A special to the New York Tribune
says:
TIE LETTE OF GOV. COX.
The letter addressed by Governor Cox
of Ohio to the chairman of the Union
State Central Committee of that State.
concerning his interview with the Presi-
dent, creates much amusement here. The
straightforward, honest leok, and the
hearty tone of MS the Presidents voice
have been seen and heard by many per
son now here, in whose minds the Gov
ernor's enthusiasm about the captivating
phenomena calls up pleasant reminiscent
ces. They say that when the Governor
becomes ? little more familiar with the
h.nn-+ 1,.l- g.l 1FL I-.--- 49,
he will learn to appreciate those things
more accurately. The Governor was n
the floor of the House to-day, together
with Major George L. S@tearns, of Boston,
who in October last heard the President
pronounce himself with honest look and
hearty tone - in favor of negro suffrage in
Tennessee. 1t is looked upon as signih-
cant here that the speech Of Senator Sher-
man and the letter of General Cox agree
almost literally in ssme points.
