STATE NEWS.
ACCORDING to the State statistics of 1866,
ito July 1st, Seneca county had built
400 bridges, more than any other county In
the State. Trumbull county has the next
highest number, $50. The total number in
the State is 8, ,1S3. 1t will be seen that SEN
eca county has over one-eighth of the
whole number. This, the Tifin Advertiser
thinks, places Seneca county far ahead of
any other county in internal improve
ments.
SAD FINALE.-A young girl who had be-
come deranged on account of the death of
her mother, who had been brought to Chill
licothe from Marietta, under the partial
influence of chloroform, died yesterday,
between this city and ,Circleville, on her
way to the Lunatic Asylum, at Columbus.
ABOUT one o'clock-on Monday last, a
team belonging to Emmitt & Bro, became
frightened at locomotive at the Chilli
cothe depot, and ran away. They ran
straight up Main street to Hickory, and
turned up north on that street. Several
little boys were playing on Hickory, and as
the team came thunderirg upon them, all
managed to get out of its way excepting a
small son of VIM. Vincent, about eight
years of age, who was struck by the tongue
OF the wagon on the back of the head,
dashing his brains out and killing him in
stantly. Both wheels of the wagon then
passed over his neck. He was picked up by
an older brother, and carried to his bereav-
ed parents.
THos. HIGGINS. of Binridge, was in Chill
licothe on Saturday, and on returning home
at night, near the village, fell off his wagon
and was rendered insensible. He was taken
home by some friends who were with him,
but remained in that condition until Sun
day evening, when he died. These Chilli
cothe items we get from the Advertiser.
"A YOUNG man, named John Emerson, of
Eden township, dropped dead in the store
of Mr.. w. 81. Keilholtz, on Saturday after
noon of last week, in Tiffin, Ohio. He came
to town with Samuel Grelle, Esq, on the
morning of that day, and was apparently
in good health. He went to the store of
Mr.. Enrich and had his measure taken for
q suit of clothes. About three o'clock he
went into the store of Mr.. Kelholtz, which
adioins Emrich's and stepped on the scales
to weigh imself. just as he was adjust
ing the weights, he stepped back pace or
Col E. n,,v nd vxynn xva
thinking he had been seized with fit, rais-
ed him up and applied water to his face,
but noticing that his eyes presented glas-
sy and deathly appearance, he called aid
and laid him on the counter, and called in
DR.. Gibson, but before he arrived he was
beyond the aid of earthly physicians. The
Doctor prom ounced it case of heart dis
ease. Mr.. Emerson was an estimable young
man, and had served in the army for three
years. So says the Ti6in Advertiser.
In Lima, Allen county, on Thursday, as
we learn from the Democrat, two colored
boys, named Chas. Hill and Matthew Moss,
at work ON Shades hotel, got into an alter
cation, and after short war of words, Moss
pulled a common pocket knife and stabbed
Hill several times, first striking him in the
arm, and afterwards in the left breast,
when he fell, and young Moss ''skedad-.
died."1 Hill was carried into the Lima
House,and afterwards taken to Moss house,
where he was cared for until he died, on
Sunday morning, at seven o'clock. A post
mortem exami nation was held by direction
Of the Prosecuting Attorney, by Drs. Neff
aud Hiner, which revealed the fact that
the knife had entered the breast about ~
inches, (the full length of the blade,) cut
ting the cartilage of the fourth rib, and
touching the lower portion of the heart,
causing death to ensue as above stated
Hill lately came from Alabama, was about
% years old, and it is said, was a very
quiet and peaceable mulatto. He was bur-
led on Monday last. Young Moss is only
about 16 years of age. He has not been
seen since the affair took place, though the
officers are on his track, and will undoubt-
ediy succeed in capturing him.
On last Wednesday afternoon, as the
train for Union City was passing through
Simpsons cut about two miles from Piqua,
as we learn from the Democrat, a brakes
man by the name of Warren Anderson was
instantly killed and his body frightfully
mutilated. He was engaged in setting a
brake when he was struck by the bridge
and knocked between the cars, the train
passing over him and mangling his body
in a shocking manner. In some unaccount-
able way the body was caught up by the
train and carried for the distance of nearly
two miles, where it was found by the train
coming from the west. The body was
taken to Addison, Champaign county, for
iaterment.

TIE Neu Orleans Picdyune is very strong
In its opposition to the continuance of the
former system of working plantations in
the South. It says that 1t is opposed to
procuring white labor" for that section,
and adds: 1--WE want white men induced to
come here to cultivate farms of their own.
We want white men here to go to work
themselves and not to procure labor. The
system of mercantile farming which has so
long cursed the South, and bred debt and
ioleness, must cease, or our decay will be-
