A young lady b.v the n sme Of caro-
line Low, in Clinton, DeKalb County,
Illinois, over two years ago, after
washing windows, was replacing
them when she struck her hand
through the glass, running several
long pieces into her hand. After
several days a physician was called,
and, as was supposed, the glass all
extracted. But it appears not to
have been the case, as large guam
tity was left in her hand, which soon
made its appearance under the skin
on her arm, and was cut out by her
surgeon. 1t continued spreading
until it has extended to all parts OF
her body 1t has been extracted
from her eyes, head, arms and feet,
and, in fact, from all parts of her
body. Six months ago it caused the
lock jaw, with which she was afflic-
ted for about six weeks, during
which time she partook of no susie
nance, except that which she could
drink between her clenched teeth.
At present she is a maniac more than
half the time, and in such agony as
words will not describe. At inter
walls she is rational, and able to sit
up and do some work. Over twelve
hundred pieces of glass have been
cut out of her fesb.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
LIEUTENANT GevERNoR-The Repub-
lican State Central Committee have
made an excellent selection to fill the
vacancy on the ticket occasioned by
the resignation of the Hon. Samuel
Galloway. General John G. Lee, of
Toledo, is lawyer of high reputa-
ton, and soldier whose record is
brilliant He is captivating public
speaker, whose style is full of the
earnest of good principles and sound
Judgment. The vote by which he
was chosen shows the high estima-
ton in which he was held by the
gentlemen composing the committee.
There were thirteen districts repre-
sented in the committee, and Lee re-
ceived ten votes on the first ballot.
Gov ernor Cox, in some remarks fol
lowing the nomination, spoke of his
acquaintance with General Lee in
the army, and declared that he was
San officer of great capacity" Attor-
ney General West is reported by the
State Journal as saying that he had
been acquainted with General Lee
for more than fifteen years, and con-
ceded to him very high ability as a
lawyer and public speaker, and a
very high private character. Cover
nor Dennison urged that q ''bold,
vigorous and determined campaign
should be made" The enthusiastic
satisfaction with their work in nomi-
mating a Lieutenant Governor that
was manifested by the committee
was justified, and will be felt through
out the State. Com.

Home Life.

There are three different ways of
living. One is to take the world as
it comes, with sort Of stolid lndif-
ference. The second Is to live simp.
ly to anaass property or reputation.
The third is to acquire charocter-to
grow up into the largest possible
measure of manhood.
The first is not unlike skiff, float
ing carelessly down among the blocks
of ice, in the spring breakup in the
Ohio. 1t will soon get badly used
up, past all use Of any attempt at
mending.
The second is like working har6
all day, without breakfast, dinner,
or supper, without coat, hat or shoes,
for the sake of trinket one cannot
carry home at night, and can only
leave for the next days workers, to
make no more or better use of than
himself, and probably to quarrel over
and break their heads.
The third is the only rational way
since whatever we acquire of real,
manly, christian character, we can en-
joy ourselves, and can keep and en-
joy il forever, and besides, through
it we will impart more real good to
others than we can in any other way.
He, who wishes to live true life
can therefore'hardly hesitate which
of these methods to pursue.
But this character, if possessed,
eught to speak out, to manifest itself
in his deeds, words and surroundings.
It ought to find expression and rep
reservation in home lite;; and our
home here ought to be fitting type
of the home we hope to enjoy here
after-a fitting home for ennobled
manliness--with a manifest CORES
pondence between the home and the
nature which inhabits it.
These are very manifest, and mani
festly correct conclusions. We may
hereafter apply them to some of the
actualities of Gallia county home life. |

The Great Question Solvedi
SUGAR FROM NORTHERN CANE.
June 81, Is67.-4w.

TNHE undersigned Company have pur-
Il chased in the counties of Meigs and
Gallis, the Weller and Hatcher patent for
making Sugar from the cane grown through
out the Northern States, with warrantee
that il Is complete success. The process
is so simple that any one that can make good
syrup can make good sugar. 1t is all done
without the use of drugs or chemieals-mak-
ing a superior article of sugar, and with
far less expense than any other process ever
offered to the public Mr.. Weller has manu-
featured in the past year 10000 lbs. of excel
lent quality, and beautiful color :,
Specimens may be seen, information gained
and individual or township rights purchased,

learning their process of making sugar from
tbe Northern cane. Owing to the lateness OF
my visit did not see the process IN opera

closed but from the amount and quality
of the sugar exhibited by Mr.. Weller, and
from the candid manner IN which he explained

tirely destroyed with the exception
of the Jail and two dwelling houses.
The works that were here construct
ed yet remain as monuments to the
genius of engineering. From the
one erected in 1868 by the gallant
General Scammon, we had view of
the battle field of 1862, when the
brave old German, Col. Sieber made
heroic defense against the oyerpow-
ering forces of Loring, and although
compelled to retreat, did so with
skill and heroism, leaving bloody
marks upon the foe at almost every
step from his works to the Falls.
At Fayetteville a new Court
has been erected, and the town bears
evidences of prosperity-many of the
old residents having returned and
commenced rebuilding their homes.
We returned in the evening to the
Falls; and as we journeyed along the
mountain, saw below US beautiful
valleys, with here and there caves,
gorges and cascades. Although
deer and bear haunt the solitudes;
the rattlesnake and the copperhead
Vie unharmed in their dens, and wild
forests still grow upon the mountains,
et beneath are rivers of mineral
il, and inexhaustible beds of coal
d iron, and but little time and
ese wilds will be busy with the
bund of industry, and their great
6ehes will have begun to be garner
and what is now almost unbroken
wilderness, will blossom as the rose
and bring forth rich fruits.
Late in the evening We reach our
home at the Falls and sleep the sleep
of fatigue. Here we spend a few
days moro of pleasure and then
journey, under the care of that prince
of drivers Mr.. Geo. King, to the
steamer, and off for home, where,
without accident of any kind we ar
rive, and cheerfully bear testimony
to the delights of the trip. j.

SANTA ANNA is still undoubtedly
alive, but in the hands of the Mexi-
cans at Sisal, where he landed.
In reply to an appeal for the inter
vention of our Government in behalf
of Santa Anna, Mr.. Seward has writ
ten letter in which he says he ap-
proves the conduct of Commander
Roe, and our Consul at Vera Cruz, in
sending Santa Anna away from that
place. He says, further, that the in
formation received by the depart
ment, is to the effect that Santa Anna
landed voluntarily at Sisal; and adds
that only a very grave cause or
great wrong, would induce our Gov
ernment, at this crisis in the affairs
of Mexico, to assume an unfriendly
attitude toward the Government of
that country, and he therefore re-
fuses to meddle with the Santa Anna
affair.

SWALLOWED HIMSELF.-The editor
Of the Dispatch made the bold declar
alton that he was after rascals, and
last week we expressed a doubt
whether it was his party or himself
that he intended to swallow. That
doubt, however, was removed by the
last number of the little ge-arter
snake, which shows a transmuta-
ton into a full grown anaconda,
and "be the powers of Moll Ryan's
pitcher" the varmint is in the very
act of swallowing itself. Before en-
tering upon description of the
boiling process, we advise the reader
to hold his nose, for the choice lam
guage is from the editors "sharp
pen," and when given full scope
there is something foasl in his conapo-
s,tion. We only make the applica-
tom
The editor of the Dispatch is "a
worn out, effete, bloated, vile and
degraded, black hearted, lying, un-
rincipled''-copperhead, who deals
in nothing but "detractien, falsehood
and calumny." His ''rottenness will

that crawling leprosy, will innoculate

The persons now holding Office under
military appointment may also be
removed at the discretion of the
commanding officer, Or the General

special duty of district commanders
to remove from Office "all persons
who are disloyal to the Government
of the United States, or who use
their official infuence in any manner
to hinder, delay, prevent or obstruct
the due and proper administration of
this act and the acts to which it is
supplementary
Boards of registration are to have
power, and it is made their duty, be-
fore allowing the registration Of any
person. to ascertain whether he is
entitled to be registered, under the
law, and the applicants oath is not
to be taken as conclusive as to his
right to registration. The time of
registration may be extended to the
1st of October; and, fourteen days
prior to any election to be held un
der the act, the registers shall be
open for revision for term of five
days, when any names illegally reg
istered may be stricken from the list,
and new names of persons entitled to
registration may be added. No per-
son who has at any time held any
legislative, executive, or judicial office
in any State, and afterwards en-
gagged in rebellion, whether he had
taken the oath to support the Con
stitution of the United States or not,
is to be allowed to take the register
ing oath, 'and the executive or judi
cial office in any State in said oath
mentioned, shall be construed to in
clude all civil officers created by law
for the administration of any general
law of the State, or for the admins
tration of justice"
The law appears to have been
carefully drawn for the purpose of
stopping all the holes left open by
Mr.. Stanbery's opinion, for the regis
tration of ex-office- holders of the
rebel States, and to give to Gen.
Grant and the district commanders
the fullest powers and the most COM
plete independence of the President,
within the ability of Congress to be-
stow, especially in relation to the
matter of removing civil officers,
and controlling the State govern
ments, as to which the Attorney
General claimed that no power was
conferred in the original acts. And
to avoid any further meddling on the
part of Mr.. Stanbery, with his acute
legal interpretations, the new law
explicitly says that ''no district CON-
mander, or member of the boards Of
registration, or any officer or appointee
under them, shall be bound in his action
by any opinion of any civil officer of the
United Statess' So
Under that clause, the military
gentlemen appear to be independent
of the authority of the Presid ent and
the judgements of the Supreme
Court.

The "Bondocracy" and Il
patch.

Our neighbor of the Dispatch still
keeps up his howl on taxation,
bondocracy," DC. Would it not be
well for him to stop a moment and
inquire who constitute this so called
bondocracy? We can answer him in
very few words-the loyal people of
the country, who in the hour of their
country's need came forward without
distinction, both rich and poor, and
each according to his means contrib
uted to the necessities of the govern
ment. These constitute the bondoc-
racy, so hateful in the sight of the
Dispatch. And the U. S. bonds
merely represent this generous loan
of the whole people, to furnish the
Government with resources to prose
cute the war against the rebellion.
And the attempt on the part of the
editor Of the Dispatch to create the
impression that these bonds are
owned by few wealthy men, and
that the people are ground down
with taxes to add to the wealth Of
these favored few, is simply absurd
and ridiculous. 1t is the trick of the
demagogue. The people own the
bonds They are scattered through
out the whole land, in village and
hamlet as well as In the cities. The
poor have invested their hundreds
in them, as well as the rich their
thousands and millions. And we
venture the assertion, that there is
hardly single family in the whole
country that is not more or less di-
rectly interested in sustaining this
faith and credit When the editor
of the Dispatch, therefore, clamors
for the reputation of our national
obligations, he strikes at the poor
man as we'll as the rich. Repndia-
ton of our bonds, is ruin to the poor
man who has his hundred dollars in
vested in them, as well as to the rich
man who has his hundred thousand.
The poor man loses his all, the rich
man can do no more. A moments re-
Election shows that the silly twaddle
of the Dispatch about "bondocracy,
taxation and oppression of the peo-
pie, &C., &c." is without any foun-
dation in fact. We are all alike in
terested in sustaining the credit of
our bonds. 1t is the peoples debt,
made by the people, owned by the
people, and will be paid by the peo-
pie, in spite of the croakings of the
Dispatch. The charge is false, SLAM
derous and malicious, and used only
as an electioneering dodge with the
people, for the purpose of ousting
loyal men from office to make room
for rebels and copperheads.
