A Frog Story.

A writer in the Science Gossip says: "a
near ncighbor, upon whose veracity can
rely, recently opened drain in Kent,
when he made the following discovery ::
At the mouth of the drain were placed two
large stones, in measurement nearly two
feet square and three inches thick; the one
at the top rested closely upon the one be-
meath. Upon lifting it from the lower
stone, the skeletons of five frogs were dis
covered; they were in circle in the cent? e
of the stone, quite fiat Upon taking one
of them up and holding it to tue light,
there was only a threadlike appearance OF
bones between the dry, fllttened and flesh
less skins; these skins were clear and beau
tifully marked. In this state they were
seen by several persons, and by zach OF
them the frogs were considered tn be dead;
but when the water commenced to flow
over them there was slight gasping per-
ceived in tile throats of each, by degrees
the bodies swelled, and life and motion re-
turned. Then, to the surprise of the be-
holders, the frogs sprang up and ran away
into the drain. How did these frogs get
beneath the stone that covered the lower
one SO closely? There was no space for
them to enter or depart, and upon the sur
faces there was not the slightest indenta-
ton made by the frogs. 1t was supposed
to be thirty years ago that the stones were
placed over the drain.''

A:warning to Early Risers.

The recent life of Josiah Quincy has tie
following good anecdote:
One day John Quincy Adams, who was
addicted to the same vice of Incorporate
early rising, with much the same conse-
sequences, was visiting my father, who in
vited him to go into Judge Story's lecture
room, and hear his lecture TO his law class.
Now Judge Story did notsaccept the phil
osophy of his two friends in this particu-
lar, and would insist that it was more ex-
cellent way to take out ones allowance of
sleep in bed, and be wide awake when out
of it-which he himself most assuredly al
ways was. The Judge received the two Pres
idents gladly, and placed them in the seat
of honor on the dais by his side, fronting
the class. and proceeded with his lecture.
1t was not long before, glancing his eye
aside to see how his guests were impressed
by his doctrine, he saw that both of them
were sound asleep, and he saw that the
class saw it too. Pausing a moment in his
swift career OF speech, he pointed to the
two sleeping figures, and uttered these
words of warning: "Gentlemen, you see
before you melancholy example of the
evil effects of early rising" The shout OF
laughter with which this judicial obite1
dicttns was received effectually aroused the
sleepers, and it is to be hoped that they
heard and profited by the remainder of the
| discourse. r -rrlrr--Fr.....r ..r -.....

Condition of snatn.

A Madrid letter to the Paris Liberte says:
.sThe aspect of Madrid is still sad and
mournful, and those acquainted with the
usual animation of the city are struck by
the great change. With the misery that
exists the winter will be very hard to pass.
The fall of the ministry is expected and de-
sired; but what improvement can be hoped
at the hands of the Neo-Catholics? 1t
must be owned that the re-establishment
of the Inquisition might assist to fill the
Golfers of the treasury. The upper middle
classes of Madrid do not seem to think of
this, so ignorant are they of the most ele-
mentary facts of the history of their coun-
try"
1t is reported that the Queen Dowager
has suddenly left the capital. A cores
pendent writes: should this prove true, il
will show that the acute dowager smells
mischief, and has gone to caution her
daughter against throwing herself into the
arms of the A bsolutist clique.
According to the latest advices, NarvaeZ
is disposed to temper his recent severity
and to revert to more moderate measures,
but the Queen inclines to the partisans of
the Iuquisition. I..5 -.=l.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL.


The President to-day made an order, re-
mitting the sentence of a court-martial in
the case of sixteen soldiers, members of
the first and fourth artillery. United States
army, tried in Buffalo, New York, last sum-
mer, for conduct prejudicial to good order
and military discipline. The charge was
that they did, without good authority, join
a Fenian festival, and discarding the uni
form of the United States did dress in the
uniform of the Fenian association on one
of the said associations gala days, under
arms, or in company with men under arms
said Fenian association being an institu-
tion reported to be in armed hostility to
the Government of Great Britain, with
which the United States was at peace.
The record shows that the men attended
a nic-nic at Black Rock, New York, and
drilled with company of Fenians, that at
this picnic there were prizes offered for
the best drilled company and that on their
trial the accused said that they only Joined
in the company to aid in winning prize.
The court sentenced the men to forfeit two
months pay each. The President orders
them to be restored to duty without loss OF
pay.

NEGRO VOTING IN OHIO.

Twenty-three negro votes were polled in
this township OH Tuesday, notwiJhstand-
ing the protestation of aoltae men, and we
are glad. we rejoice to say, that through
this NEGRO VOTE. which never before
was pOlled in this township, the men who
were instrumental in bringing it to the
polls, have been ''hoisted with their own
petard :" and the ,ohite men of the township
have rebukel headvocates ofnegro suffrage,
aud cast their ballots against the amend-
ment and the men in their midst who ad-
vOcated this monstrosity.
The above is from the Washington (Fay-
cite County, O,) Register. What transpir-
ed there took place all over the State. Not
less than 600 negro votes, we are assured
were cast in Greene county alone, in def
ance of the law. They were taken in
Cleveland in considerable numbers, and
largely in the Western Reserve. Some
even were taken in Cincinnati. If General
Hayes is elected, he probably owes it to this
fraudulent negro vote. Our Democratic
friends owe it to themselves to obtain list
of ali these negro voters, and If they
amount. in magnitude, to Hayes ma
jority. the election should be contested, and
the Governors office given to Judge Thur
man.-Cin. Enquirer.

negroes voted here, and l stopped to see if
that was the case. have been around the
polls most all day, and have seen full
blooded, jet black, thick-lipped niggers go
up and put their vote in, and not be chal-
lenged. L was told the reason why they
were not challenged was, that it dare not
be done. There has been from two t. three
hundred niggers around the polls all day.

Frank johnson, colored brother, voted
in Salem last Tuesday. He is not half
white, and the Trustees who received his
vote ought to know it as well as any body.
If men of the color of Frank are permitted
to vote, there is no use in the constitution
al amendment. Where Trustees determine
to do wrong, there is no remedy against
them. The good sense of the people must
regulate their conduct, and when they do
what they know is not right. the conse-
quences must follow.-Ne,o Lisbon Patriot.

the Fourth Ward in this city, by ther Abo-

Exit Wade.

The glorious victories of the White
Mans party in Ohio, insures the ousting
from place he has so long disgraced, of
that wicked old man, Ben Wade, now one
of the Senators from that State. His term
of office expires on the fourth of March,
1869, and there is little doubt but that Geo.
I'll. Pendleton, one of the foremost men in
all this land in every attribute that emo
bles and dignifies the American gentleman,
will succeed him. He has been faithful
among the faithless, and deserves the high
csc honors that patriots can bestow. Of
unquestioned ability, tried patriotism, and
a stainless record as a statesman and gen.
tleman, the country would honor itself by
making him its next Chief Magistrate. We
nominate him, right here, for that position.

The 18Th Congressional District.

The four counties comprising the Dis
trict which Columbus Delano claims to
represent in Congress, have given a most
glorious account of themselves at the elec-
tion Just past. ....-
1. Old Licking rolls up the magnificent
majority of 1,300.
2. Coshoctou gives Thurman nearly 500
majority-a gain of 100.
8. Knox is completely redeemed; Gen.
Banning defeated for the Legislature; glo-
rious Bob Miller elected Treasurer, and the
entire Democratic ticket elected by major
tiles ranging from fifty to three hundred.
4. Muskingum elects Jewett and Ball to
the Legislature, and gives Thurman 45O
majority. She also elects the whole DEM
ocratic county ticket, and along with Perry
sends Hon. ID. b. Linn back to the Senate
This is a glorious result in district fol-
which Delano has the impudence to set up
claim to seat in Congress.-N Ne1ark Ad.

Credit where Credit is Due.

The fact that the Democrats and Con-
servative men of Ohio have achieved a
glorious triumph over Radicalism is no
longer either denied or doubted. In this
instance no miracle has been wrought. The
success which is so gratifying to the real
friends of Constitutional government, is
owing, not exclusively to the fact that one
or two instrumentalities have contributed
to secure the result, but to many causes
combined. Where all have done their duty,
determinations are out of place. With the
utmost cheerfulness we unite in bestowing
unbounded praise upon the State Central
Committee, and especially upon its able
and indetatigable Chairman, for the part
taken in the organization and general di-
rection of re campaign. But it must not
be forgotten chat the elements of success
were in the minds and hearts of an enlight-
ened and patriotic people, and that the de-
yelopment of the power which has secured
a great triumph is attributable to various
causes.
In the first place, our candidates were
uneXceptionable, and were wisely selected
as representatives of the principles of a
truly national party.
Secondly, the Democratic journals of the
State, always consistent, straightforward,
and consequently efficient, have been uu-
usually bold, Out-spoken and defiant in
their assaults upon the abuses, errors,
crimes and follies of the dominant party.
This is true, not of the leading central or
gan of the party alone, but of every Dem
ocratic paper in the State. With no un-
certain sound they have called upon the
people to prepare for the battle. and their
united voice has been potential for good.
And, finally, the speakers, mostly from
our own State, who were called upon TO
address the masses, were gentlemen ofhigh
attainments, sound discretion and distin-
guished ability. Having truth on their
Side, and being fearless of their advocacy
of il, their labors were efficacious in con-
vincing the people of the necessity OF a
change. and arousing them to a sense of
the duties and responsibilities resting upon
them. After all, for the result of this
great conflict we are indebted to the peo-
Die themselves, and, confiding in their in
telligence, virtue and patriotism, we trust
that they will continue hereafter to add
iustre to this grand achievement by theil
faiihfulness to the cause of our country
