Laughing in the PuIpit.

Said Mr.. G, Presbyterian
minister of some notoriety, 81 never
laughed in the pulpit only on one occa-
sion, and that came near procuring my
dismissal from the ministry. At one
of the first discourses I was called to
deliver subsequent to my ordination, af-
ter reading my text and opening my SUBJ
ject, my attention was directed to a
young man with very foppish dress
and a head of exceeding red hair
In the slip Immediately behind this
young gentleman sat an urchin, who
must have been urged on in his deviltry
by the Evil One himself. for 1 do not
conceive the youngster thought of the
jest he was playing off on the spruced
dandy in front of him. The boy held
his forefnger in the red hair of the
young man about as long as black
smith would nail rod in the fire to heat,
and then on his knee commenced pound
ing his finger in imitation of smith in
making nail. The whole thing was so
ludicrous that I laughed, the only time
that I ever disgraced a pulpit with any
thing like mirth."

A New GOLD VEIN IN NEVADA
The Nevada Territorial Enterpri.e
of May 9 says: "a very rich strike
was made evening before last in the
claim of the Cole Company, situated
Just west of the city and back of the
Comstock, and parallel with which it
runs. The strike was made in the sec.
ond level, which is three hundred feet
below the surface, and which is reached
through tunnel six hundred feet in
length. How extensive the deposit of
ore found may prove to be. is matter
of conjecture. as it has not yet been cut
through. 1t now fills the whole face of
the tunnel, and has every appearance of
being very large as well as very
valuable deposit. The ore is black
sulphuret, and is astonishingly rich in
gold as well as silver. We were yes
terday shown assays of two samples,
which yielded as follows First sample
at the rate of 35s,6s0 ounces of silver
and 506.974 of gold, or $1,177.65 in
gold and $465.2s in silver, making to-
tai per ton, of Sl,643.93. The second
sample yielded at the rate of $1,160 in
gold and $475.SO in silver, on total
per ton of $1,645.sO., This is as rich
rock as the greediest hoarder of the
precious metals could desire."

Tails Out.

During our travels through Kansas
we heard some funny stories, and this is
one:
A couple of travellers, who were look
ing for land, ehanced to clay over" at a
farm house in sparsely settled district.
The house had only one room, and the
accommodations were of the most pri-
meyal character. When bed time ap-
preached, piece of blanket was hung
across the room, the travellers took their
moiety of the apartment, and darkness
and silence reigned through the house.
It appeared that the chickens, for the
want of a better place, roasted on the
-four barrel; and when it was supposed
that natures sweet restorer" had got
hold of the guests, the good wife thus
addressed her liege lord.
II say, John. if you are going to keep
hotel, you must make different arrange
ments."
"Why, Sarah Jane p softly returned
the sleepy husband.
"Because I'm not going to get up in
this fix to turn the tails of them chick
ems !"

Three Attempts to Break Jail.

Three Attempts to Break jail.
Sheriff Jennings, the keeper of the
Cross-bar Exchange, has seven board
ers at his hotel, a portion of whom
seem to be not at all suited with their
quarters, as they have made three sew
eral attempts to leave them within as
many weeks. Two weeks ago they
sawed the mortar from between the
stones of the outer wall in the west
side of the Jail last week an attempt
was made to remove the stones in the
south wall, and large portion of two
or three of the heavy stones were
broken off; and yesterday morning
the tagging in the east corridor, for a
space of some seven feet in length and
four to five feet in width, was removed
and large quantity of earth dug out,
the parties engaged in the attempt in
tending to drift under the wall in
order to make their escape. Fortu-
nately, they "were caught in the very
act, )" and an end put their hopes.

The procession in honor Of General
Mcclellan at Philadelphia recently
was splendid ovation. The weather
was cool and clustering, notwithstand-
ing which the streets along the public
route were filled with spectators, some
of whom waited patiently from two
O'Clock until nearly dark. The pro-
cession was two hours passing a given
point. On reaching the Continental
Hotel, Mcclellan reviewed the line
from the balcony, and the assemblage
rapidly dispersed. At the Continent

3 Ny FELLOW CITIZENS You who
have to-day honored me with your
presence, will accept my earnest
and heartfelt thanks-aH that 1 have
to offer in return for the honor that l
will remember so long as my memory
serves me. My comrads, l cannot
receive more welcome geeting, even
in this, my native city, than the sound
of the same cheers which l have so
often met in camp, on the march, and
upon the field of battle. They recall
strange and most eventfu1l history.
Here, on this spot, filed with the
earliest and peaceful associations Of
my childhood, they arouse the stern
and stirring memories ofa checkered
career. The place where stand re-
calls to my mind quiet days of peace
full life. The faces 1 see and the
voices hear carry me back to the re-
alities of war and battle, the scenes of
your sufferings, fortitude, glory upon
DAYS that tried mems souls. These
shouts were so earnest that should
implicitly rely upon the heroism and
devotion of the army. They always
evinced that love and sympathy that
united us. When I parted from you
on that sad November day which
none of us will ever forget, your
voices showed me that under new
commanders you would lose none OF
your ancient patriotism. The voices
echoed from Malvern, South Mountain
and Antietam, were certain guaran-
tees for your conduct at Fredericks-
burg, Charlottesville, Gettysburgh,
the Wilderness, and the crowning vic
tory of Richmond.
Soldiers, whether of my own old
army of the Potomac, or the gallant
armies of the West, l thank you from
the depth of soldiers heart for this
welcome. So long as I am upon this
earth, 1 can not forget the bonds that
unite us in the memory of our fallen
comrads, of the perils shared in com.
mon and of the great love and conf
dence you have given me. Come
what may, am sure that in the flu
ture, as in the past, we. will be found
side by side in war as then, in peace
as now, for our country. ~

Fatal Accident.-On Thursday
last, GEORGE w. LANE, aged 18 years,
son of G. W..LANE, of Kent, was sud-
denly killed on the A. & G. W. Ry.
On the morning of that day, young
LANE with a number of his compan-
ions and citizens of Kent, took passage
on the Excursion train on the A. &
G. w. Railway, to attend the Repub-
lican Mass Meeting in Cleveland. On
leaving Leavittsburgh, the cars being
crowded, number of the passengers
got upon the decks of the coaches, and
among them, was young LANE. He
was standing on the top of about the
sixth passenger coach the cold, damp
wind from the west blew the sparks
and cinders from the locomotive in
his face to avoid, which he turned his
face to the rear of the train and rode
thus until they approached the bridge
near Jeddo Station, between Hiram
and Mantua. Seeing the danger ahead
passenger farther back on the train
signaled him to drop down, at the
same time prostrating himself; but
Young LANE not understanding his
motions, retained his erect position,
and when the car came upon the bridge
his head came in contact with the tie
at the top of the bridge, knocking
him off the car, upon the bumper be.
tween. the car upon which he was
standing and the one next to it. HI
was. caught and drawn back upon th'
car, but survived but about ten min
: utes. His remains were conveyed b.
the same train to Cleveland, and des
patch sent to his parents announcing
the melancholy tidings Of his death
A sufficient amount was raised anon;
his friends to defray the expenses o
his funeral, which was largely attend
ed at the Universalist Church in Ken
on Sabbath last.
GEORGE w. LANE was young ma
of good character and habits, an
highly esteemed by all those wit
whom he was acquainted.

Terrible Accident.-We regret
to learn that on Tuesday afternoon a
terrible accident occurred at the Ex-
celsior Works in this city. While a
workman named Myers, was engaged
in grinding irons upon one of the
huge stones in that establishments,
said stone burst and the pieces there
of few in every direction, one OF
which struck Mr.. Myers upon the top
of the head, literally tearing away the
scalp, fracturing the skull, so as to lei
the brains protrude, and seriously in
juring him in other parts of the body
and then passing out through the TOP
of the building.
Mr.. Myers died Wednesday, at 1C
o'clock. He was the father of fami.
ly, and his afflicted wife has been con.
fined to her bed for long time by
rheumatism.-Akron Times, Oct. 9.

General Mco1e11en s The Democratic

Nominees.
Some Of the Radical paper sand cleo
tioneerers have been fattering them
selves that General Nc cClellan supports
Grant. The following letter from that
gentleman read at the great Democrat
ic Mass Meeting held in Union square,
New York City on the 9th inst, puts
that matter at rest:
MY DEAR SIR Il gladly avail my.
self of this opportunity to express my
continued hearty sympathy with the
Democratic cause, and my ardent
wishes for the success of those consti-
tutional principles for which the re-
cent war was undertaken by the North.
Separated as l thus am from the dis
tinguished soldier, who has been cho-
sen as the leader of our opponents, l
know that you will agree with me in
the highest respect for the services he
has rendered our country. But it is
my conviction that the measures of
the party which has placed him in
| tLlC DIG Ol1C
of strife, and can never restore peace
OF constitutional supremacy and there
by complete the work he and other
brave soldiers so ably commenced.
The war was only the first epoch in
the history Of the struggle in which
we have been SO long. engaged. The
work of the soldier is, I trust, forever
ended, and it remains for the people
to fulfill the great objects for which
they and their sons and brothers were
called to the field. A restored Union
of states and hearts, an invigorated
Constitution to be firmly and faith
fully supported, the maintenance of
the national credit inyiolate,a re-estab-
lishment of national and state rights
in their integrity, and thus true har-
mony and lasting peace. These are
the objects for which every citizen
should now strive, and believing these
to rest in the success of the Democratic
cause by the election of the. eminent
statesmen selected to represent the par
Ety, it is my intention to sustain thai
cause as private citizen. With the
request that you will convey to the
gentlemen of the committee, and my
other friends for whom you act, my
sincere thanks for the compliment they
have paid me. 1 am most truly yours
