A Martyred Bird.

The following beautiful incident is re-
corded in the Pittsburgh Dispatch:
The noble deeds of robin red breast
have been celebrated for generations in
both song and story, and the tender
sympathy which this bird is supposed to
feel for stray babies has gained for it the
highest opinion of the occupants of the
nursery. A painful little circumstance,
which will interest our young readers,
and at the same time serve to confirm
their regard for the robin, was brought
to light after the fire at the residence of
Mr.. M'Callum a week or two ago. In a
tree near by, robin had built her nest
and Matched her brood. The birdlings
were too young to fly and although the
flames progressed, and the heat became
more intense,l the mother bird refused to
forsake her nest, and perished in her ef-
forts to protect her little ones from harm
The nest was afterwards discovered, and
the parent bird was found with the little
brood still under her, but all were dead.
What wonderful instinct has the Crea-
tor bestowed on this little creature, that
would impel it thus to sacrifice its OWL
life, in manner so peculiarly painful
in its efforts to shield the helpless little
ones committed to her charge. Surely
many men and women might learn a les
son from the martyr bird.

Death of John w. Kees.

& John w. Kees, formerly editor of this
paper, and victim of Lincoln tyranny,
died in the Lunatic Asylum, at Colum-
bus, on Monday last. His remains
were brought to this city and inferred
in Forest Cemetery, on Tuesday after
noon.
The deceased was a native of Berke-
ley county, Virginia, and was about AZ
years of age. We know not how long
he had resided in this State, but suppose
at least twenty years. He published a
Democratic journal at Wilmington,
Ohio, in 1s4S,- and afterwards, for sew
eral years, edited the Democratic Ezpos-
itor, at Springfield Ohio. In August,
1859, he took charge of the CrelcDitie
IVatchmam, which paper he continued
to publish until its suspension and his
arrest, in June, 1862. He was Chief
Clerk of Ohio House of Representa-
tives, in 1859, and discharged the
duties thereof in highly creditable
manner. 80, F.-i
Mr.. KEGS possessed considerable abil-
ity and force as journalist, and was a
Jealous Democrat. For his fearless ad
vocacy of Democratic principles and de-
nunciation of Ben. Butler and other
tools Of despotism, be was arrested by
the minions of. David Tod and
Edwin NJ. Stanton, at the insti-
CATION of prominent Republicans of
this county, and carried to the
Old Capitol prison, at Washington City.
Like band of marauders they forced
his dwelling house, at midnight, and af-
ter seizing him, placed revolver at his
wife's head, to keep her quiet until they
could search his private papers and make
safe their exit. When arrested, and for
weeks previous, his mind was in eondi-
tion bordering on insanity, and the ex-
citement Of his kidnapping and incarcer.
alton entirely dethroned his reason, never
to be restored. After a brief imprison-
ment, he was released at the solicitation
of Hon. s. s. Cox. and soon thereafter
taken to the Lunatic Asylum, confined a
short time, partially recovered, and was
discharged. He wandered about in a
state of semi-imbecility until February,
1866, when he became wholly demented
and was again sent to the Asylum
where he remained until death came tc

Hndn't We Better Touch Her OF
The Marietta (Ohio) Times tells the
following capital joke: 3 Ia 9o1
.The best joke of the season is told of
certain doctor of Vincent Station, who
on the evening Of the election, having
come to the telegraph Office at Vincent,
with a number ofokhers, to hear the latest
election news from the State and county,
heard favorable news from some place in
the county (it must have been from the
negro vote in Harmarb whereupon the
doctor ordered the boys to load the can
non. Going back into the telegraph of
fee, and hearing further news favorable
to the Radicals, the doctor returned to the
platform and told the boys to load her to
the gmuzzle!, Returning again to the
telegraph Office, the news of heavy Dem
ocratic gains was received. The doctor
drew his hat down over his eyes. Still
more Democratic gains, and down goes
the hat little further. Then. to cap
the climax, the dispatch comes that The
Legislature is Democratic and the State
ticket doubtful The doctor with an
oath, sprang his feet, hurried from the
office and had got about half way across
the street when an old gray headed vet

very slow, called OUT Hold ON doc

Hon. Columbus Delano will leave for
Washington tomorrow, Wednesday, to
contest the seat of General Morgan. The
testimony is all on file, and We suppose
+ is printed, and we trust the committee on
Elections will consider it at an early day.
The House needs the experience and
ability of Mr.. Delano, and if he has q
clear case, as we think he has, he should
have his seat at once.-Mt. Vernon Re
publican. - s.'I 81 agii s.-si 13 1a..s- "a -3ut +
The impudence of some men passeth
all understanding. The idea of Colu:n-
bus Delano. who was fairly beaten by
nearly three hundred votes, contesting
the election, is the most ridiculous thing
that can be imagined. Illegal votes are
undoubtedly cast, but the investigation
clearly proves that they were cast for
Delano. General Morgan's majority in
stead of being reduced, will be greatly
increased in a fair court. This fall, the
District gave a majority of. 217S for
Judge Thurman, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, and it was much larg-
er on some other candidates. In a fair
election to-day, General Morgan would
beat the 'pork and beans hero' $500
votes. Delano knows this, and his
friends also know it. But he is too fond
Of Office, or rather the money he can
make by, being in Congress, outside of
his salary, to retire, after he has been
fairly and squarely beaten. Delano, in
his heart, worships but one god, and that
is money. He is worth a quarter of a
million of dollars, and he certainly new
er made the one-tenth of it by his pro-
fession. It is generally believed that he
made at least one hundred thousand dol
lars during his last term in Congress-
This is why he is so anxious to cheat
General Morgan out of his seat, and get
back to Congress again. Avarice; thy
name is Delano.-Mt. Vernon Banner.

On Friday last three iron-clads-the
Tennessee, Nashville and Osage-which
have been lying in the river for some
time, were sold at public auction in AL

she was never sheathed with iron. She

BEASTS az Large.

/ BeBSeS AZ LARGE
~ A singular accident happened, on the
25th ult., at daybreak, on the Mobile &
Great Northern railroad, some thirty
six miles above Tensas station, between
Mobile and Meridian. A portion of the
train, containing a. menagerie, was
thrown off the track, and two truck
cars, containing four cages, in which
were the royal Bengal tigress, the hy-
ena, two bears, and the .tapir. were
thrown off, the cages smashed, and the
animals released. Two other box cars,
containing twenty-six horses and po-
nies, shared the misfortune, the horses
being piled together. and upon each
other in utter confusion. Only one was
killed, however, and several others suf-
fered contusions9 - @s Sift3t@
The Mobile Register states that the
animals released did no damage to each
other, with the exception that one of the
bears killed a fawn. The tigress and
one of the bears at first, manifested a
hostile disposition towards each other,
the bear assumed an upright position
and stood upon his guard in regular fist
lana style, and when the striped beast
came smelling about him cuff or two
was exchanged, which seemed to satisfy
both parties. The bear amused himself
by ascending some Of the neighboring
trees, and the tigress roamed about in
the neighborhood, showing no disposi-
tion, however, to go very far away.
They were all recaged without difficult
tty. The accident occurred on a high
embankment.g but the couplings Of the
rear cars. that remained on the track
prevented the others from rolling entire

More About the Cleveland Murder
and Suicide.
IFrom the Clersland Plain Dealer.l

IFrom the Clexeland Plain Dealerl
The Gregory tragedy is still the theme
df Conversation about the1 city. No
facts have yet tfanspired to throw light
on the case, as to the cause of the dread
ful affair. Mr.. Jennings. who keeps
lgunshop IN the New England Block,
states that Gregory purchased revol-
yer of him on Thursday, saying he was
going into the country with 81, 400 to
hiakh a payment on a farm, and he
wanted the weapon to defend himself
with, in case he should be attacked by
persenss who heard him speak of the
money in saloon not long before.
The weapon found near Isabella Roy
has been identified by Jennings as the
revolver in question.
The theory is advanced by some, that
the girl killed Gregory basing it on the
fact that the bodies were far apart, and
the pistol lay by the girls side, render.
| ing it impossible for Gregory to have
thrown it there, after he had shot him
self; but then, the pistol wound could
not have proved fatal ;sfor, in that case,
how could he have cut his throat? 1t
seemed evident, likewise, that the girl
had been dead longer than the man.
There were long hairs clinging to his
pants and vest, like the hair Of the girl,
showing that there had been a struggle
between them. '5h1 s'..'li9.- s''' = i7a' 20
"a His object in killing the girl is sought
for in the hypothesis that Gregory quar-
relied with her because she wouldn't
break off her engagement with a young
man named West had threatened vio-
lence. and she retorted by. a threat of ex.
posure. s5a.as a s'a5s iss1 sa-t.f -.s,r.s
9s4The story that the girl'scharacter was
bad. is not by any means conclusively
proved. . It is said she had been dis
charged from several places, owing to
her lack of chastity, but the report
comes from no responsible source.
To be sure, some photographs of
tupde woman, bearing the likeness of Is
fabella Roy. were found in the suicides
pocket, but it is said that they were
Ecounterfeits---that is, the face of the
murdered girl had been pasted upon the
nude portrait of another woman; and it
is further conjectured that the wretch
made the counterfeits that he might,
through their medium, poison young
Vests mind against his bethrothed.
Gregory. it is known, had frequently,
but unsuccessfully, tried to induce the
young girl to run away with him; hence
his object in poisoning the lovers mind.
r But it is all conjecture and surmise;
the why and wherefore of the whole
tragedy will probably neversee the light.
