ST. VALENTINES Day AT THE PosroFFIcE
'l-Yesterday, one would think, all the men,
women and children in Columbus able to
get there, paid at least visit each to the
Postoffice, to ''see if they had a valentine"
In the afternoon, when the public schools
were dismissed. the children all made
dead rush for the Postoffice, and took with
them all the scattering young ones they
could find on the streets, and such
La yelling, squealing, pulling, hauling
crowd of animate humanity mortal eye
never before rested on. They were there.
SO young that the shell wasn'tall off of the
head, and from that to able bodied full
| grown women all engaged in satisfying
the one hunger of the female heart-love.
The young ones were as anxious as the
older, seemed to be as much annoyed at
the receipt of comic one and as well
pleased when the perfumed missive told OF
love. 1t was huge assemblage of hoops
and dress goods ami avery happy one.
THE DOG ..SpIv."-To show the great
interest manifested out of the city in the
fair at Naughton Hall, and the desire to
obtain possession of the rat terrier "Spiv."
donated by our big-hearted friend, Charley
Wagner, we may mention the fact that
chances have been taken in him from other
places, as follows: James McArdle, Perry
county, three chances; C. II. Goddard,
Zanesville, four chances; r. French, Holms
county. eight chances; r. Cameron. Holmes
county, two chances; F. Goodwin, Cham

without fail.

ing at o'clock, after lingering illness, in
the Both year of her age, Amelia, reject of

i Sunday at 2 O'Clock P. NJ, from the resi-
dence of Mr.. James Naughton No. 2O2 East
Town strert.
| The remains of the deceased will be

new Catholic burial ground Southwest of
the city.
The friends of the family are respectfully

4 MILL ON THE SCIoTo.-On the classic
grounds of Middletown, yesterday. two
men met to pound each other after the
most approved fashion of the prize ring.
Five rounds were fought, when the smaller
man of the two threw up the sponge. Can
not these brutal exhibitions be Suppressed
This affair was known and talked of all
over the city yesterday, and yet no effort
was made to put stop to it. As we sup
pose our citizens do not desire to read tho
details. we content ourself with this brief
notice. sasi
TIE ELEVENTH For the
benefit of those who will understand 1t,
during the cold weather. Thou shalt not
leave the door open behind you when en-
tering into or departing from the STATES
MAN office, thou, nor thy wife, nor thy ser
want, but close it carefully behind you
when thou enterest in or goeth out thereof.
Thus shalt thou avoid making the editor
swear, or throw bootacks at thee, and thy
days shall be long in the land.
!. FILED YEsTERDAY.-The certificate of in
corporation of the Duncan's Falls Masonic
Building Association was filed with the
Secretary of State yesterday. 1t is organ
ized for the purpose of purchasing aud
holding real estate.a Principal office at
Duncan's Falls, Muskingum county. Capt.
tai stock, $1,000, in shares of $25 each. A..
r. Starrett, P. Schaus, and D. II. Denhaner
are the corporators.
The VALENTINE TRADE.-Some idea of
for Valentines may be gathered from the
fact that there were sent through the post
Office for delivery in this city, on Thurs
day and Friday, 1852 Valentines. Out OF
all the great number on the shelves of
our dealers on Wednesday, we doubt if s25
worth remain unsold.
A ROMANCE OF LovE.-For many months
a young gentleman. we'll known to the cit
iz-ns of Springfield, paid his attentions to
young lady who occupied position in a
peighboring town several degrees more
elevared. socially, than his own. The youth
, being of good personal appearance, and
twithall an excellent conversatiOnalist,s sue
ceeded in engaging the affections OF the
lady to an extent that nothing could satisfy
, except matrimony. The postoffice had for
some time done its duty, as postoffices al
ways do In such matters, and many were
the long, and doubtless tener messages that
passed between the loving two, protected
r by the efficient care of their dear uncle
from the prying eyes of those who would
what was going on.
The lady knew that her s'papa and mama
would never consent to the union OF two
loving hearts, with her parents mine VI
wealth laying between them, and so she
, readily consented to the young mans prop
osition to have the thing done up ION the
sly," and all unknown to the folks while
she was on a visit to some of her relatives
at Columbus, her charmer called and the
thing was done. After brief honeymoon
. in the capital city of Ohio, she returned TO
her home, but her husband did not return
