A Jumping Colt.

The Elyrid Democrat is responsible for
the following .'hefty" story Last We'd
nesday, colt about six or eight weeks old,
belonging to Mr.. Phipps, in this township,
performed feat that we venture to say
was never paralleled by the horse kind in
this or any other country. 1t was witness
ed by several persons, and is no fiction. p.
A. Bishop, Esq, gives us the facts as an eye
witness. Mr.. Phipps was coming to town,
with the colt following his mare, and when
about twenty rods west of the railroad
crossing at Mr.. Bishops residence, the San
dusky freight train came laundering along
at its usual speed. The colt greatly fright
ened, ran toward the crossing, but the train
got there first, and one or two cars had
passed when his coltship arrived. Nothing
daunted, he leaped the cattle pass at one
bound upwards of twelve feet across, and
ran toward the high bridge, by the side of
the train. He crossed the stone abutment
about thirty feet long, ran across the iron
covered bridge to the east abutment, which
is upwards of seventy feet long, and eros =
ing that safely, ran nearly to the village
before giving up the chase, and was found
by his owner unharmed. To understand
the character of the feat, it must be remem-
bered that between the cars and the edge
of the abutment there is a space of only
twenty inches, and after crossing the
bridge, which is much wider than the
abutment, how the colt. managed at full
speed to strike the narrow space on the
east abutment, and run seventy feet safely,
is almost miracle. The bridge and abut-
ments are almost forty feet high. This is q
well attested fact; and if any person thinks
he has smarter colt, let him trot him out.

THE Welsburg Brooke Co., West Va.)
Herald says: Rather a singular affair hap
pened on Monday about midday, that
came near resulting in eonfiagration, and
which is as yet unexplained. At about II
o'clock bright blaze was discovered ris-
ing from the roof of Marks cabinet shop,
which was quenched without any alarm
being given; and on the spot, Mr.. T. f.
Marks found piece of material about the
size of saucer, resembling lava or the
substance that escapes from the furnaces,
cellular, sulphurous to the SMELL and
not very heavy, which he threw on
to- the pavement, burning his fin
gers in the act. The blaze was undoubted-
" caused by this substance, and the mys-
terry is--what is it, and how did it get
there? There was no fire in the shop, nor
any stoves within probable distance from
which it could have found its way upon
the roof. The most popular theories are
either that it was some chemically pre-
pared compound thrown on the roof dur
ing the night before, to be ignited by the
heat of the sun, as is gravely surmised and
argued a small s8rolite, that after skiting g
through space, for a thousand years or SO,
chose that particular spot upon which to
alioht and do the mission Of the prince OF
the powers of the air.. The specimen can
be seen by the curious. ''

The Prospect this Fall.

Not in many years has there been so fair
prosp pect of the Democracy carrying Ohio
as uthere is now. All over the State the
impression widely prevails that the Radi-
calls will be routed, "horse, foot and
dragoon," and that both the negro suffrage
amendment and the State ticket. which
sustains it, will be badly beaten. We have
found, by experience, that such premon-
itions, when they extensively prevail, are
the best indications in the world of favor
able result. The reaction so long looked
for in the public opinion is coming fast,
and the day of Radical violence and ultraisin
is nearly over. Its sun will soon set, not
again to rise. The signs of hope are now
bright in the political firmament.-NeooarE

'imperilled whether they speculate to any
great extent in other paper does not clear
ly appear. Nevertheless, the business is
generally so loosely conducted that they
are not unfrequently under the necessity
of calling upon private bankers to aid
them. One instance may be given as an H.
lustration. A draft amounting to $4,000
was presented at the counter of one of the
city banks and payment demanded. They
had not the funds. After several hours
"skirmishing" the money was borrowed
and the draft paid. With a view of not
being taken by surprise and preventing a
repetition of this case, an effort is being
made to establish clearing house in St.
Louis q eg le1i5a. : sili Moi aaa1
Upon this subject let me say a. few words
more. A few days ago was in the COM
pany of a prominent capitalist, who had
been President of a national bank, and the
conversation turning upon banks, i re-
quested his opinion as to the probable sue
cess or failure of the system. His reply
struck me as foreible :Frl refs., sI,,t -slt,-J
swell, sir, if properly managed they are
q source of benefit to business men and
revenue to stockholders. But the system
is destined to fail. I found that the direc-
tors of my bank were specializing largely
with the funds of the Institution, and as
could not control them, / resigned, sold out
my stock and abandoned the concern. I'M
der the law, as you are no doubt aware,
the stockholders are only liable for double
the amount to creditors. A board of un-
scrupulous directors, if they are so dispos-
ed, at period when the deposits are large,
can speculate upon the funds, and, in the
event of trouble threatening, transfer their
stock to men of straw, retaining only a
sufieiency to give them control of the
institution. Take for example bank with
a capital of 100000, a circulation of $780,
900. and, individual and Government de-
posits of million and a halt. They may
have deposited. half a million bonds with
the Treasurer to secure Government
deposits and circulation; yet how
easily they can fail and profit at the
expenses of the General Government and
the unsuspecting depositors. !. There is
much rottenness in the system, and 1 am
glad L am out of it.. 1t does seem to me-
however, that the Government is erring
seriously in depositing in these banks,
when they have sub-treasuries in all the
important cities and towns in the country,
where the funds would be made secure.-
By deposi;ing in these banks they afford
the directors and other officers of the insti-
tutions opportunities for swindling, and
the officials of the. Government temptations
flr neglecting the interest of the Treasury.
Very few of those officials through whose
hands Government funds pass, and upon
which the banks will pay them four or five
per cent, would take the trouble to inform
the Comptroller of the Treasury of any ir-
regularities, and many of them would not
hesitate to Join bank officials iii specu-
lating with Government money" -,-lr
