JOttangs From Ohio.

YOUNGSTOWN. O., Jan. %, 1867.
TO tts Editor Of The AIIeghGnian:
Probably your readers would not OBJ
ject to brief description of this town
and It's surroundings.
Youngstown is located in Nahonipe
county. It was not town of much ia.
portance until within the last ten years.
Since then, it has increased its population
fold. The town is built en- the LEFT
bank of the Mahoning river, and midway
between Pittsburg aud Cleveland. The
@. 4 NJ. Branch of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad and the Lawrence
Railroad from PittsbuFg to Cleveland is
finished 10 this place, where is intersects
the G. S NJ. L. R. There are six blast
furnaces within one nile Of the center OF
the town, and two large rolling mills
which manufacture about four hundred
tons iron per week. Coal is found n
abundance In almost every section of the
county. Some twenty mines are worked
10 this immediate vicinity. The coal
found here Is of superior quality to that
OF central Pennsylyania. 1t can, be used
for metal without coking, which is a great
advantage over the coal used at the Blair
and Cambria furnaces There are also
one large rolling mill and four large blast
saruaees near town. In addition, ne have
beiler yard, nut and washer factory,
nail factory, woolen factory, three steam
-four mills, two planning and sash facte-
ries, high school, and an academy
There is Jail here, but nc prisoners have
been con6ued in it since its erection; SO
you can judge of the morality Of cur
young city. But the morality is easily
thirteen churches
The times are somewhat dull Just now.
in consequence of the stoppage of the
mills in Pittsburg. The boilers here and
in Pittsburg are leagued together in an
association. The employers want to re-
duce thair wages, but the boilers will not
agree to IL So that she works ere Ekely
70 stop.
The sci in this county, and I believe
in northern Ohio in general, is we'll adap-
ted to growing corn, potatoes, oats, and
hay. [ behave It viii grow these crops
better than wheat. The springs frosts
are Sc frequent and severe that wheat has
been for some years almost total failure
We can surpass tho Union in the manu-
factuTe Of cheese. The Western Reserve
cheese, as Jour readers are aware, stands
first IN the eastern markets.
l was more than a little surprised TO
hear of the intense cold you are cxperien-
cling on the rugged Alleghauies. We
imagined we had Seold weather here, but
the Thermometer never stood lower than
four degrees below zero.
Yours, truly, RUcKExK

The Reaper.


There is Reaper whose name is Dsath,
And with his sickle keen
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shs;l have nought that is fair 2" saith he
"Have nought but the bearded grain
Though the breath of those flowers is swee
to me,
/ will give them all back again"
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes
He kissed their dropping leaves;
1t was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his shesves.
isMys Lo.d las need of these fowreto gay
The Reaper said, and smiled
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
" here He was once child.
"They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints upon their garments white
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and PAIN,
The flowers she most did love:
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields OF light above.
Oh, not n cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away.

A Jolly MIsrAKE.-Tbe NJ

A jolly MIsrAKE.-The Minnesota
,Staats Zeits.ng has the following; BY
command OF his mighi:ness, the ex-tailor
Andy, some one OF the numerous clerks
IN Washington was recently set at work
TO renew the commission as postmaster for
Pennington, Dakota county, of j. G. An
Grews-a bosom friend of "Andy's,"
and first class bread aud butter man
But the clerk being absent minded, or
thinking perhaps more of some other
clerk in crinoline, blundered, aud wrote,
instead of j. G. Andrews, j. G. Edwards.
Now there is, by odd luck, j. c. Ed
wards IN Pennington but he is a ''full-
blooded nigger," black as the ace OF
spades, "sassy as stack of monkeys"
and, as we hear, more intelligent, better
educated, and considerably better qualified
TO ''run the machine" than j. G. Andrews.
And SO it came to pass, in the second
year of his reign, that Andy, the nigger-
killer. appointed a darkey in Minnesota
to be Postmaster.

THE FIRST CoLoRED JURY TEXAs-A correspond
cnt Of Western paper gives amusing account OF
the deliberations of the first colored jury empaneled
under the recent military order in Texas.
BY municipal regulation in Texas justices Of the
peace have jurisdiction ofenses Of certain grades
with power to empane jury of six and try the
in regular and simple form An ofiense having been
committed by colorcd citizen, he arrested and
brought before such jury, composed chiefly of ne
groes from the cotton fields Of the district who were
duly sworn, and one Of the number appointed fore
man. After hearing the evidence and pleadings of
the counsel the jury were charged by the justice that
their duty to find verdict and return it into
court :" and thereupon they retired to deliberate. In
about an hour the foreman, whose name was SAM re-
turned at the head Of his mates and the panel being
called, rose and spoke to this effect:
"See here, Mr.. Court, ives been down to dat ere
ROOM and hunts in every crack in every corner up
de chimney and under de floor, and can't find any
thing that looks like wordck."
The Judge then gravelg proceeded to explain to the
Jurors the nature Of verdict and having apparently
succeeded in enighteping their minds sent them back
once more to deliberate.
In another half hour they again made their appear
ance, and Sam, with every symptom of honest indg
nation, inquired thus of his honor:
Look ahere Mr. Court didn't you point me fore
man of this jury
Yes, sir, did"
"Dat's what told desc fools, but dey didn't got
sense enough to know it. / tells 'um what and how
dis case is, and they won't do as tells 'um. Amt
dey bound to do what say Mr. Court2n
The upshot Of the matter that the Judge finally
sent the counsel with the jury help them make
up the verdict, and then suitable one was returned
