The Hanging Of Mrs. surratt.

One of the most stirring scenes con-
nected with the trial of John III. Surratt
was the production in court of the re-
commentator of the court that tried
Mrs. Surratt that her sentence might be
commuted TO Imprisonment for life,
which President Johnson refused. The
following is II copy:
The undersigned, members of the Mil
litery Commission detailed to try Mrs.
Mary E Surratt and others, for the con-
Hpiracy and .he murder OF Abraham Lin
coin, late President of the United States,
&C., respectfully pray the President, in
consideration of the sex and age cf the
said Mary h. Surratt if he can, upon all
the facts in the case, find it consistent
with his sense of duty to the country, to
commute the sentence of death, which
the Court have been constrained to pro-
nounce, TO imprisonment in the peniten.
tiary for life. Respectfully submitted.

A Natural Bridge In Ohio.

Ohio, like Virginia, has awonderful
natural bridge. 1t is in Hooking Coun-
ty, fifteen miles from Lancaster. A per-
son who visited 1t recently, describes it
as follows:
"This is grand and beautiful arch of
q solid rock, spanning wide ravine of
some sixty feet in depth, through VIII ich
meanders, among the rocks which have
its clear and tiny rivulet, which seem to
have its origin lin springs above and under
the bridge, and flows thence, in course
of two or three hundred yards, into the
Hooking The exposed portions of the
rock, forming the bridge proper, presents
n surface, on lhe upper side, of about
one hundred and sixty feet in length,
eight to twenty feet in breadth, and six
to twelve feet in thickness. 1t is gently
arched, smooth on top, where the rock
is, in part, bare and in part carpeted
with green turf, forming an ample pass
age-way for pedestrians, and over which,
but for one narrow place, garages and
teams might easily cross. Immediately
above the bridge, and separated from II
by tissure ranging from few inches to
several feet jnwidth, is vast overhang-
ing rock looming over space where regi-
ment ofmen may be accommodated with
shade and shelter. The whole is enviren.
ed by most lovely forest, and shut In
by the green and romatic hills"

Pluck.

The Democratic party has no more
backbone than an empty bag. The pluck
Is all gone out of 1t. During the first
years Of the rebellion it was very con-
fident. Like Peter, 1t would walk upon
the stormy water. 1t made a clustering
preteDse of "standing by" the South
The utterances of the Democratic press
of those days are full of vigor. 1t was an
'unholy war"-and they kept out of 1t.
They exhorted each other to resist the
draft-which they did, effectually, by
transfer of their precious bodies into
Canada, beyond its reach. They called
our soldiers names, while they were too
busy and far away to hear. The more
bold among them called the soldiers
wives by bad names to their faces-but
this was risky. Now all these things are
being brought up against them, and they
plead the baby act. Judge Thurman
proudly assisted the rebel soldiers in
Camp Chase, and refused to give any
thing TO Union soldiers. Now, when he
wants the votes of these Union soldiers,
all the Democratic press characterize ii
as a dastardly attack upon his private
character to say that he assisted rebel
soldiers, but threaten proceedings for de-
tamation of character against parties who
remind him of 1t. The martyr business
don't pay. Peter wishes he was back In
the boat, and had never attempted t.
walk the stormy waters.

A NOVEL mode of keenipy accounts

A NOVEL mode of keeping accounts
was developed at u trial in West Troy,
N. Y, last week. James Hunter, an
illiterate man, who swore upon trial that
he could not read or write, sued Thomas
Wells for services in rafting lumber from
Slab City to Utica. The counsel for Wells
asked Hunter how he could swear so pos
itively to the number of days work,
twenty-nine, when he was unable to
read or write and keep an account of the
services? The witness replied that after
every days labor he cut a notch in the
top Of his boot, and there were twenty
nine of these notches. Hunters counsel
then directed the ingenious accountant
to pull his boot off, which he did, exhibit
ing the account" to the somewhat as
tonished gaze of the Court. He then
presented the boot In evidence the same
was accepted, and Hunter recovered the
amount of compensation claimed for the
twenty-nine days labor.
