man named Franklin, who with his
wife and three children came passenger
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
train from the East, on his way to In
diana, was made the dupc OF conf

east of Benwood the sharper entered
the car and took seat with Franklin.
He was quito talkativc, and soon
ascertained where Franklin was going,
the amount of money he had with
him, etc. When the party reached Ben
wood, and had gone aboard the transfer
boat, the confidence man assisted
Franklin and his family i'll obtaining
seats and arranging baggage. Suddenly
he remembered that he had forgotten to
pay some freight charges, and not hav-
ing the exact amount handy Che had
his money sewed in belt about
his body, exhibiting the belt
he wouldFbe obliged to Franklin if he
would loan him the money. Franklin
handed him five dollars, but that was
not enough, and he then handed him a
fifty dollar greenback, saying that was
all the money he had. The. sharper
said that was large bill, but he would
step out and "break" it-and he must
BIO breaking it yet, for Franklin has not
set eyes on the man or his money since,
and was obliged to go West as best he
could. ......

In glancing over the list the officer
observed that all the names ended with
son, and remarked that the
name Of the the Justice who had
tried the case ended with the same
letters. The good-natured Justice OBJ
jected to being classed in such crowd
and stated that his name ended with
"ston" instead of "son." We do not
think the records of any other Court
or tribunal will show five names In one
case which end with the same letters.

The Great Drought.

The Sandusky Register has the
following in regard to the great
drought that is desolating North
ern Ohio:
"Neyer, in the memory of the
living, has Northern Ohio suffered
such a terrible drought IS is now
prevailing. For nearly three
months hardly anything to be
called a shower has fallen in this
part of the Reserve. Everything
in the way of foliage is parched,
blackened, and covered with dust.
Cisterns long since went dry, and
now nine-tenths of the wells are
nearly exhausted. In some cases
cattle are driven six miles to wa
ter. Last week water was hauled
from the Lake, at Sandusky, to
Bellevue-twenty miles by rail-
road, inland. In some localities,
water, hauled great distance, is
sold by the pailfuI, for cooking and
washing purposes. The dust fills
the air and creeps everywhere. 1t
steals through the window blinds,
and sits through the roofs, cover
ing furniture with a coating of
grit, and worrying the lite out of
housekeepers, who stand, dusting
brush in hand, in despair in the
strangling food of dust. The
lake alone seems to be unaffected
by the extreme drynesss but if
rain be much longer delayed, we
shall expect to hear Of vessels a.
ground In the midst Of Lake Erie,
and yawl boats stranded in mud
in our deepest harbors The great
drought reaches from Rochester,
New York-in belt Of about tgo
hundred miles in width"

Pork,

A good deal of speculation a.
mong the interested is being in
dulged in as to the probable figure
at which prices will rule. Consul
mers, naturally making a mode
rate estimate, are too apt, if any
thing, to underrate the values
from which they judge, while pro-
ducers are equally prone to magni-
fly causes for demand that do not
exist. As an evidence that the
packing season will be a lively one
in this locality, we may mention
one firm of our town who have Sc
cured end are fattening FIVE thou
sand head-an example which will
doubtless find successful imitators
in other parts of the country. For
home consumption the stock is fair
and prices will probably range be-
tween 6 and 5 cents.-Sbel9yrille

A Political Church.

The Northern branch of the NJ.
E. Church held a Conference in
Shelbyville a few days since. One
of the preachers said he was will
ing to grant to "rebels" the use of
two prayers: to die, and to be
damned! In the report "On the
state of the Country" we find the
following negro equality blast,
Resolved, That the pledge of the
nation to tie freedmen should be
sacredly kept, and slavery should
not be retained in spirit while it is
abolished in name-that not till
all men are equal before the law
can there be adequate protection
of their rights.

Unkind.

The Athens Republicans, organ
of the Loyal League Of McMinn
county, thinks the negro is an ell
ephant upon the hands of the Rad
icals:
cit is manifest" says this
loyal organ, "that the thieving
population, coupled with their idle,
thriftless disposition, naturally a.
wakens apprehensions of serious
nature in the minds OF the HUI
manist. Unless there be a thor
ough Improvement of the freed
men as class, (of which we con-
less we entertain little hopes,) the
question of their disposal will soon
become one of such importance as
for time to overshadow every 9th
er. Time and patience may even
tually dispose Of this population
without such violence as many
we'll informed persons anticipate.
In the meanwhile every facility
to migrate should be offered those
who desire to return to their native
country. The history of no conn.
try warrants the hope that race
numbering several million, vino are
precluded by the laws of nature
from social equality, can in peace
enjoy for any great length of time.
peaceful relations with a superior
race, with whom they hold equal
civil and political rights. Educa'
ton, which some we'll meaning phi
lanthropists regard the panacca
for all our political and social
TROUBLES, will, we think, imperfect
Jas it will ever be with the negro.
Iprove only an obstacle to the solu'
ton Of the problem which the
Acknowledgement of the colored
man has evolved"
| This is the most unkindest cut
Iof all. Coming from a member
of that great Radical party which
boasts of being the negroes best
friend, it is suggestive of the fate
of the negro in the future.

War in Europe next wear

War in Europe next year is
considered almost inevitable
France is arning, and it is said
strategic studies have been made
with a view of covering Strasburg,
the Emperor having made person
al observations of the country In
that neighborhood as he returned
from his recent visit to Salzburg.
The country around the town is
being leveled to allow the establish
ment of four detached forts, and
an entrenched camp of immense
extent is to be constructed, pro-
tected on one side by the Rhine
and by submergable lands, and
on the other by the four advan-
ced forts, capable of sheltering,
in case of need, q large number

Thursday Morning, 0ctOber24, 1867
Gen. Grants Interior Aim

Gen. Grant cannot keep within
the prescribed programme concoct-
ed by shrewder heads than his
own. So anxious is he to "make
assurance doubly sure" and, per-
haps, a little jealous of the eclat
with which Sheridan has lately
been received by the extreme Rad
icals, that it seems he has commit
ted himself so far Tin direct con-
travention to his lesson that he
should keep mum until after the
approaching elections) as to ex-
press a willingness to accept the
Presidency. The dispatch an
uouncing this fact is brief, to the
purpose, and laughable. We quote
verbatim:
General Grant, IN a converse
ton a few days since with two Re-
publican Congressman, in replying
to a direct question as to the Pres
idency, said that if it should seem
to be The acW Of Providence, and the
desire of the American people, that
he should be President, he aoonld
not feel at liberty to resist the
one nor disappoint the other"
