A RoUGH RIpE.-A man who was
in liquor, was run away with
on Saturday last. He came 10 town
in the morning and hitched his horse
near Hubers' Drug Store. When he
got ready to go home he unhitched
his horse, which had been tied by
the reins, and being a little muddled
fastened the lines in the hares, in
stead of the bit. He mounted his
vehicle, which was the hind gear Of
u wagon with shafts, and started the
horse. The animal feeling insulted
that his master should try to guide
him by the names, started off with
jerk and toppled his driver Off his
seat. In falling one Of his feet
caught between the single,tree and
the cross bar of the shafts, and he
was dragged over the paved street
to the resident or Ben. kimmons.
The horse was stopped here and a
crowd gathered, expecting to see q
dead man, or at least one badly in.
jured. Some one asked the man il
he was injured and whether he could
speak. He was indignant at such g
question, and jumped up and began
to whip his horse for running away
with him. 1t is very singular thai
he was not killed for the horse rar
at good speed. and the mans heat
came in contact with divers and sun
dry cobble. stones. As it was til,
stones were as much injured as h
was.

Descrters and the COnstitu-
tiOn.al Amendment.
Erom the columbus JnurnAI.

From ths Columbus Journal.
Some OF the ahlest advocates of
the Suffrage amendment object
strongly 10 the dcserter disfran-
chising clause, on the ground that a
very large number of men, who served
faithfully through the war, absented
from their commands
without leave after the war was over,
were reported as deserters. and
would consequently be disfranchised.
We have already shown that the
amendment does not, by its terms,
reach men who deserted after the war.
In addition to this, We have shown
that, by adjudicated cases in Penn.
sylvania, it has been determined that
a. like provision applied only to
cases where sn actual conviction was
had, and that a judge of elections was
not permitted to take cognizance OF
a case where the desertion was noto.
rious in the community, or even
came within his own knowledge
without a previous conviction. VIZ
now call attention to the following
additional fact. The number Of de
serters who left their commands al
ter the war was over has been alb
surdly estimated at twenty thousant
from Ohio. The official records 0
the Adjutant Generals office, Wa
Department, furnished us by a friend
show that the total number of deser
tions from Ohio troops, Of all arms
subsequent to April l.. 1865. amount
ed 10 nineteen hundred and sixty
three (l,963 )only, OF whom proba
bly, not less than two thirds hav'
since been fully reinstated on th,
rolls for causes shown.

that dispatch was received by the
Post Master at this place, from Post
Master General Randall, stating that
40 eo.6~,- ~>;s~ L-l loo. .,,ado of

the Post Master to designate the

its mail matter might be sent there.
Van Buren is the nearest point, and
we learn that that is to be the place
at which Findlay people will get
their mail matter. This state Of

person that gets his mail here, and
especially so to the business men
Of the town.
In regard to the statement OF Ran.

made by the Senate, it is simply
bosh. No nomination of any man
has been made for the Office, or il
there has been one, it is not known

that in them nominations have been

FROM McCOWW

Yesterday our quiet little village
was the scene Of the utmost confu-
sion. About twelve o'clock, NJ, a
man Of town, came running down
Main Street, with the intelligence
that he had "started up a beaper," and
gave the direction the animal had
taken, Not two minutes had
elapsed before numerous persons,
old and young, had started in pursuit
of the coveted game. One took some
hounds, and another took an old
musket, and away they went, pell
nell through the town, out past the
Presbyterian Church, and into MFR.
Algire's woods, south of town. Here
they came to scat. pond" which they
decided to explore, and they did
without making any discoveries as to
the whereabouts of the truant, who
was trying to escape from his blood
thirsty pursuers. The most of them
now gave up the chase and started TO
return, but when they had almost ar
rived to town, their ears were start
led by the report of the gun and the
the yelping of the hounds and boys.
With the cry, "theyre got IT," oil
started back to the woods, and this
time nearly the whole male popula-
tion engaged in the chase. After a
while the dogs quit yelping, the boys
we're quiet and could not be found
and after another hunt of about an
hour the "hunters" all returned to
town disappointed and considerably
"wilted.' We hope too they are
"wiser and better men,"
AS, perhaps h is not generally
known and some may think the dogs
did actually stree" the beaver when
the shot was fired, j will explain
the matter. A few of the boys wan
dered to a considerable distance in
the woods. One of them fired the
gun, another pulled the hounds ears
tremendously and made him yelp.
after which the boys yelled like so
many demons. and then taking dit
ferent directions, ran as fast as they
could, until they got back to town by
circuitous route.
