BEFORE JUSTICE WALKER.-Ja-

Il
cob Thompson, an Ethiopian, was
presented before Justice Walker, on
a charge of assault and battery upon
his son, Ross Thompson. 1t appears
that Ross went into the army as a
substitute, and had given the money
to his father to purchase a home.
Since Ross returned, he has frequent
~ limited that he thought the proper
.ty belonged to him, which has the eff
feet to irritate the old man. On Sat-
urday morning, the matter was again
discussed, when the old man got into
a passion and awallopped 2 his son,
who on the authority of his mother,
claims to be over twenty one years of
age. Jacob was required to pay fine
of 81, with 81 80 costs.
Jim Mulligan, on Saturday after
noon. made an assault on George T..
Robinson, the constable, and made
an attempt to plant a bowlder on Rob-
.inson's head. Robinson promptly ar
rested him, and, on a mittimus from
Justice Walker, lodged him in Jail.
He will this morning be turned over
to Recorder Nelson, to be properly
disposed of.aa4is,a mex f.9f.e.

The LUNoH-T The lunch at Mozart
Hall on Saturday morning was pretty

to the excellent ladies who prepared it.
Everything the most capriciousI APP

their native courtesy by the most as

causing them to Finger long over the
delicious viands, and frequently to
order fresh dishes to proleng their

and lunches were not only exceeding

not, highly successful in pecuniary
point of view.

them. One, however, made the leap,

Unitarianisnl

Mr.. EDIToR.-I have recently had
my attention directed to d selected
article in the -Herdld, entitled, aFirst
Things in History" It's nv opin-
ion that some things IN that article
will not bear the searching light Of
reason and science but one para
graph seems deserving Of special
notice. Referring TO the Offering of
Cain, it says: SIN the pride of unbe-
lief he presented the unitarian offer
ings Of his own productions or
works And again It says: "Unita~
rianism was the first false religion"
| hope the editor Of the Herald is
not 50 "dreadfully orthodox" as to
refuse TO publish few lines in favor
! the Unitarians. I quote q brief
o. tract from another paper and wri-
ter Of another denomination: Per
Laps there is no body Of Christians
which has 50 many able men in its
ranks. in proportion TO its numbers,
as the Unitarian. They style them
selves Liberal Christians And for
tolerance, large minded sympathy for
the human race, moral greatness, in
tellectual culture, philosophic learn
ing and philanthropy, they Justly de-
serve the appellation Of liberal men
The same writer also speaks of their
being sin the vanguard Of progress. .
This is u little, aud only a little, out
Of a great deal, that may with truth
be SAID OF the Unitarians. Might We
not ask, if the first false religion has

To which we add: A

1t never proposed the abolition
of slavery in the States.
Then it stands that the slavehold-
ers rebelled for no cause at all, cx--
cept an imaginary one.
But it must not be forgotten that
the democratic party before the war,
constantly charged that Lincoln
election aud his mission was to de-
stroy slavery. 1t was this false
charge that led the ignorant masses
in the South to rebel.
1t will not be forgotten also that
the democratic papers early in the
war, in view Of dividing the public
mind, urged from the first that the
war was 'oarried on for the abolition
Of SlaUery and to diSsoLre the aaion. =
But, in the article above from the
Memphis Bulletin, the war was not
carried on for such objects.
The sequel of things begins to
show that the Southern people were

DEATH OF AN HONEST MAN.-The
death ofNeely Gray, for some twelve
years citizen Of Madison, formerly
of Platteville, is announced in the
State Journal. He possessed extra
ordinary good sense without artif-
cial ornament or show-off, which
qualities prevented his figuring as a
politician and office holder He was
blunt aud and manly in expressing
his opinions, which peculiaritics
made him rather unpopular He
was an honest man and patriot, but
failed to market these wares, and
therefore was not as rich as he
might have been by several thous,

by initiating them nor by rejecting
their views, and therefore was cons

Release of Jeff Davis.

The papers are making wry faces
over thefeIeaso Of JEFF Davis, and

HANOVER MANUFACTURING CoMpA.


HANOVER MANUFACTURING CoMPA.
NY.-Many farmers, perhaps several
thousand in Grant County, have been
patronising the Hanover Factory,
10 pavicss Co., Ills, and by this time
can judge whether it pays to carry
wool there fer sale or exchange for
cloths and other factory stufs.
In the winter Of 1866 we visited
the Hanover factory, and found the
concern SO perfectly managed, the
manufactured stuffs of such superior
quality, and the chief agent, !. ".
White, SO near right in all business
respects, that we published what
proved, we think, a useful report Of
how things are managed there and
the advantages Of dealing at this or
the like home Institutions. Since
then we have heard from men who
have been dealing at Hanover, and
they seem pleased with the business
practice, prices, &c.
Agent White is square out man
and means well. Something of an
idea Of the kinds Of stufs made may
be had by turning to the advertise
ment Of the Hon0per Aayactar5ng
Company.

no more on this Continent during

GINA tie mother OF Presidents, the
Land Of heroes and statesmen. she re
slssed the tyrant until she could re-
sist nc more, and fell stricken with
wounds, bleeding at every pore, but
covered with immortality. In her
fall, behold the triumph Of despetism
and the shame Of Democracy. Ev-
