Josephine, by sIuhlbach.

The Auhlbach well sustsins her high
fame in this new historical romance. In
deed, We hardly know whether we ought
not to drop tho word romance, and call it
plain history at once 1t reads like q his
tory; it is made up Of known facts its
heroine and its heroes were once flesh and
blood, and not Al the hnhlbach could in
vent q more wonderful series of events
than befel the sweet young creole who
shed the cnfY soft human light thstgleam-
ed across the pathway Of Napoleon. The
book is called 1.-THE Empress Josephine"
but it far less concerns her history and
character as the sharer of q throne, than
as the sovereign mistress of n maynard
heart, the only woman whom Napoleon
eVer loved, and his cold sacrifice of whom
brought down upon him the terrible PEN
atty Of his suhugation and solitary death.
This great story Of actual life, the most
marvellous perhaps to be found in all the
annals of courts, is told in q manner wor-
thy of the theme by the famous German
novelist. 1t is more of a loVe-tale than
some Of her other books. and shows her to
great advantage IS 8 delicate analyst of
the grand passion. The pictures, we pre-
dict will command general admiration.
They are not behind the best Of those
which irrAdiAte the dufness Of the English
magazines. Castor Gay is the artist. He
is an American, We understand, and we
hail his appearance as q promised relief
from the long reign of artistic mediocrity.
For q ~reslizstion of the dolce fac Hiente,
commend Us to the delicious Josephine at
Martinique, and for msidenly sweetness,
to Hortense leaning against the garden
fence.

From Greene.
Gnrrrr Feb 3 1868

GREENE, Feb. 5, 1868.
EDITOR CHRoElcLE:-I wish to add
some important items to the Green cor
respondence Of Jan. 9th, signed Snow
and Them The writer, q think I am.
correct in saying,) was once 8 minister of
the gospel, and a member of the Free
VIII Baptist church alluded to in his epis-
tie, IS he assigns to the church the honora-
Bile position of believing that the church
was the light of the world and the salt of
the earth, it would be very proper to con-
clude that the church lost much of its sa-
worry influence when he laid aside his min
isterial garb, and took upon himsslf the
~irrevocable position of an outsider, from
which standpoint he is weighing the pioty
and motives of the church. The next
item We wish 70 sabstantiate is the oyster
supper, the avails Of which were to be paid
in for the especial benefit of the two last
named ministers, viz: Elder G. Rodgers
and Rev. 7. Savage. "Now and Then"
did not attend either Of the donations,
therefore, We failed TO secure his donation
and that Of some Others, through a mis-
take of the committee, las We afterwards
learned in substituting oysters instead of
chickens, for the supper table. We had
supposed oysters to be perfectly harmless
and good for ~dyspeptic stOmachs. and thos e
of Us who partoOk of them, suffered no to-
convenience IN digesting them, while som e
few, who refused them as an article of diet,
have been dyspeptic, 'sbelching up wind
and sour eructatIons ever since" 1 must
confess that I fail to see where the great
sin hes in eating oysters. We read in
Matthew ", Hth verse, "Notthat which
goeth into the mouth, defleth the man ;
but that which cometh out Of tia mouth,
this defleth the man" The maxi objec-
tionable thing is, our occupying e roo m
where, a few weeks previous, the Pastors
daughter-in-aH, layCskpiring in death.
With all due reverence to the dead, and
the dying, we would ask, what are our
dwellings for, If not to live in and enjoy
the society Of our friendsi Who of Us
could not cite you to rooms in our dwell
ings, where once lay the IAnguishing 70 rms
of loved ones, borne away in the arms of
death? Have We made sepulehres of those
roomsf Mol But our hearts are made
more cheerful and happy by social inter-
course with kind friends, and the inno-
cent Amusement Is Of children and youth.
He further Alludes to the propriety Of
church members. and ministers Of Christ,
getting up such pa rites to support the gos-
pei. The above named ministers had no
hand in the matter. The committee of
arrange ment were appointed (by a vote
of the church) from among our best citi-
zens, and they were those, in whom we
put implicit confidence as men of honor
and worth, and capable Of managing
the affair with propriety and decorum.
As regards late hours, the comm ittee win
have to bear that charge. The poor fell
lows worked hard in Supplying the tables
for 8 large company, and as they were the
last served, they had to stay rather late,
or go home sup PEERLESS.
Now Or NEVER.

Runaway and Narrow Es-

cape.
A leap-year party composed of young
people, TO the number of nine or ten
couple, on last Wednesday evening, was
made I'D here in town for the purpose Of
having q ride to and supper at the resi-
dence of agentlemAn living in the vicinity
of Miles, aud they had madea fine start
in the large four-hOrse outfit Of Messrs.
Folsom & Hart, and proceeded to leave
town on Vine Street, but just as the lead
team reached the crossing of the railroad
with that street, a coal train from the
West confronted them. The driver could
not see the locomotive until he was almost
upou the track, and there was no possibil-
ity of crossing without a certainty of de-
struction to his precious freight, and in
the attempt 10 turn the team from the
track, one of the party jumped out and
drew the lines from tie driver. In max
ing the turn, the sleigh was almost cap
sized, which threw all the party out, with
one exception. The frightened team then
ran at a break-neck speed back up Vine
street until they reached High, where the
sleigh came in contact with a tree, which
threw the young lEdy out and freed the
horses from the sleigh.
No one was injured, to any extent, MOI
much damage done to property, and be-
fore two hours had passed, the party was
again provided with a new outfit and went
on their way rejoicing. These women
have perseverance, that accomplish won
ders when they have their way of doing
things.

Novel a suit,

Wa had before Justice Spear, in this
place, on Thursday last On the evening
of the 18th of January 8 donation party
was held at the house of Geo. z. Pelton,
Esq, in Vernon, for the benefit of Rev.
Mt. Graham and family. A general in
vitation was extended "so GH' to come up
and make glad the hearts of the good Pas
tor and his interesting family. The good
and benevolent people Of that region turn
ed out zen zlasse," ''and all went merry
as q marriage belr' until IN unfortun ate
episode occurred which had the effect to
maj the pleasure of the hour materially
Mrs. Margaret Holcomb, towards whom
some of the ~"managersn seemed to have
had s decided opposition, entered upon the
scene, early in the evening, accompanied
by some of her neighbors and friends, when
he scene Of quiet changed in an instant to
one Of diseord and confusion. Mr.. Pelton
and family ordered Mrs. d. out of the
house before she had turned over her
widows mite to Mrs. GrRhsm, for
whom it was intended. Mrs. a. refused
to go; whereupon Mr.. p, as she alleges,
assaulted her. These strange proceedings
Of ourse produced a profound sensation,
women and children running psll-mel out
of the room under 3 great state of excite
ment. The result of all this confusion was,
that Mrs h. did a0t go u until she got
ready.
Proceedings were at once begun here
against Pelton for assault and battery. A
large number of witnesses were in attend
snce; most Of whom exhibited not s little
feeling and interest in the examination
Justice Spear held that the invitation
given was very general in its nature, and
one that Mrs. h. could rightfnlly avail
herself in common with others, aRd that
there was enough in the testimony to
war; ant him in binding Pelton over to
the Common Pleas. Messrs. F. E. and
Jno. C. Hutchins appeared for he prose-
cution and Judge Milton SutIif for the
defendant.

Court PrOceedings.

MONDAY, Feb. 10, 1868.
The February, Qs6s) Term of Trum-
bull Common Pleas, was ''blown IN" this
morning at a quarter before ten, by crisr
Noble, with his Honor, Judge Tuttle, on
the bench. There are 81 cases on the
trial docket of which 81 were, upon the
call of the docket, marked for trial, 80 for
hearing, and the remainder were either
continued, passed, or dismissed. Three
weeks are only allowed to dispose OF this
immense accumulation Of business, when
four or five would not be any % much
time. It is evident that the rapidly in
creasing legal business in this and in
MAhoning County will early demand an
additional Judge for this Judicial sub
division.
The important and interesting Lords
town land case, Se:hle- VS.. Duncan, which
was to have been tried to-day, was con-
tin ued on motion and ct the costs Of de-
PENDANT. The first Jury trial viii there
fore come on tomorrow. The Court de-
voted to-day TO the calling Of the docket,
which occupied the entire forenoon, Andto
the hearing of motions to continue cases,
&C., &c. Several very important causes
are TO be disposed of this term, and the APP
~pearanees are that it will be q term Of
more than the usual interest.
Among the Attorneys present to-dsy
from abroad were noticed, Judge Hoffman.

The engineer of a little saloon on
Main Street played q practical joke on the
proprietor of a Clothing Store, last Friday,
which may prove somewhat serious in the
end. The two establishments are sdjoin-
ing, and while the proprietor of the latter
had zone to his dinner, the former con-
cluded to play 5 trick on his nelghbor, BY
going out and taking down s pair of pants,
(which had been hung at the door Of the
clothing store for a sign,) and put them on.
When the owner of the sign came back,
he missed his property, and some one in
formed him where It was. On applying to
the saloon proprietor, he promised to re-
turn them at once, but the clothing no;
being returned st the stipulated time,
search was made and the owner found
them burning in the stove of the saloon
This was carrying the joke too far and the
matter was brought before q Justice, who
bound saloon individual over in one hun
dred dollar bonds TO appear at the next
term Of Court.
