Singular Death.

In Akron, little son OF Geo. II.
Bien, two and half years of age,
swallowed a number of garden beans,
producing a severe straugulation for
a few minutes, bat which, however,
was speedily relieved by the child
vomiting freely and throwing up sew
efal of the beans. About half past
one in the afternoon, while being Ca
ressed by his mother, he strangled a.
gain, dying almost instantly. A post
mortem examination showed that one
of the beans entered the windpipe,
which being so lodged for the time
being as to produce no serious obsta-
Gle to respiration, became displaced
by sudden inspiration of the breath
completely closing the air passage
and, of course, producing death.

to accept another nomination for the
place, in which he had achieved such
renown. He consented, although
aware that the odds were strongly
against his success. AT the Congress
ional election in 1864, when he ran for
Vice President, the Democratic can
didate was beaten two thousand five
hundred votes by the Republican
nominee, Benjamin Eggleston. To
overcome this majority was a hercu-
lean task; but Mr. P. set himself about
it with the greatest Vigor and energy.
He canvassed all the townships and
wards, but the lavish use of money
by the opposition and their perfect
organization carried them through,
but by greatly reduced majority
He, as usual, ran ahead of his ticket,
and the majority against him was but
926 votes.
Such has been-briefly recalled
the political career of Mr.. Pendleton,
which has been, in the main, a signal
success. 1t has been so because he
possesses superior mental and moral
attainments. Endowed by nature
with strong and vigorous intellect,
has been assiduously improved by
cultivation and study, and by schoIas-
tic and educational polish. Tt is re-
markably well balanced; and there
are few menAwho have less weakness
and frailty, and whose minds are
more completely developed. Ever
Calm and self-possessed, he is seldom
betrayed into excitement, and always
acts under the dominion OF reason,
instead of passion. AS a consequence
acts of indiscretion are rare, and
mistaken are seldom made by him.
While moderate and conservative in
his views, he is cnflexible and deter
mined in adhering to them, and con-
sistency and manly independence
have ever been among his character
istics and virtues. Dignified in his
carriage, yet modest and unassuming,
he is always courteous to opponents
and in the heated and vehement con-
tests of the last ten yers, in which he
has been engaged, he has made no
personal enemy, and left behind him
nowhere the stings of jealousy or envy
among personal rivals and political
associates.
His speeches and public addresses
have been marked by logical strength
by historical research, by great con-
densation and brevity, and by class
lcal purity of style. When to these
superior mental qualities we add a
social nature, a genial disposition and
fine personal address, it is not to be
wondered at that he has troops of
friends, who take pride in his past
career, who regard him as one of the
most promising OF the statesman
now in public life, and who look for
ward with hope and confidence to
the future, that it. will bring with it
for him still higher honors and more
brilliant career.

''VIsible Admixture"-The Supreme
Court

With customary revolutionary
recklessness and disregard of forms,
usage and substance, when necessary
for party purposes, the Supreme Court
of Ohio, upon e mere application for
leave to file a petition in error in a
made up case, have decided the re-
cent "Visible Admixture Act" of
the Legislature, e,unconstItutional. The
partisan course pursued by the Su-
pIeme Court shows the fixed purpose
of the Republican leaders TO force ne
gro suffrage, as far as possible, on the
people of Ohio, in spite of their
wishes and votes, and of the fifty
thousand majority against it last fall.
We accept the Issue and will fight it
out on that line all summer and fall.
The irregular action of the Court de-
serves the severest censure; but we
forbcar in consideration that the
ablest, wiSest and most prudent anC
most brilliant Legislature which eve
assembled in the State, did not pro
vide that the act should not take effec
till the first Monday of October, O.
that petition in error in cases unde
the act, should be fled as of cou rse
and the cases heard only in thei
regular order.-Dd ytOn Ledger.

The whole population of New Phil
adelphia, TuScaraWaS county, was in
expressibly shocked to learn of the
sudden death by poison, Saturday
morning last, of a young lady be-
longing to a Well-knOwn respectable
family of the town. Subsequent in
vesTigation revealed the fact that the
poison was administered by her own
hand. 1t is reported, indeed, that
two doses were taken-the first, being
an overdose, acted only as an emetic,
but the second produced death in
about an hour.
OF course there were thousand ru-
morS as the cause of the melancholy
affair. Very few, however, were in
possession of the facts, which we give
on good authority, as follows: Some
time since young man named Ever
EFT, living in New Philadelphia, en-
gagged to marry the deceased girl, but
her parents objected on account of
Everett's character. The match was
broken off, and Everett married an
other woman. He seems to have still
retained a fOndncss for his first .fdnce
and continued his occasional visits to
her for some time, and until 1T be-
came matter of remark. Nothing
was 4AInSNCI, up
to last Friday night, when, to the as
tonishment even of her own friends,
the girl was delivered of a child. So
carefully had she concealed her condi-
ton, that her own family were una
ware of it. 1t has since been ascer-
tanned that she had made prepara-
tions to leave the place before the ex-
pected time of the birth, and these
plans may owe their failure to pre-
mature labor. 1t is also asserted that
she had made herself acquainted with
poisons, as last resort in case she
was discovered. All these precautions
having failed, and the dreadful ex-
posure having come, the poor girl was
overwhelmed with grief and shame
too great to bear. and so ended her
ruined lite. Everett has left the place
gone no one knows where.
The former standing of the parties
and their good connections, have made
the whole affair one of intense inter-
est in New Philadelphia and vicinity.

Freedmen,s Bureau.

The political machine called the
Freedmep's Bureau, has been contin-
ued in existence one year from July
1st, by an act passed last week. Its
object is to continue in Office a swarm
of Northern carpet-baggers, whose on
ly business is to make money for them
selves, and force the darkies to vote
the Radical ticket. The countiAanc
of this useless and corrupt establish
ment is one of the modes of carrying
into effect the retrenchment resolu-
ton of the Chicago Convention-as il

A Wonderful Skull-SInguIar Medical
Fact.

Twenty years ago, in Cavendish,
Vermont, man named Sage, twenty
five years of age, possessing an iron
frame, met with singular accident,
the particulars of which we collect
from a paper read by DIR. Harlow a
few days since, before the Massachu-
setts Medical Society. Sage was ram
ming hole that had been charged
with powder. The iron struck fire
from the rock, and the iron he was
ramming with was driven up through
his cheek, out of the top of his head,
high in the air, and was afterwards
found, smeared with blood and brains.
The tamping iron was 81 feet in length
and II inches thick, and pointed at
one end, the taper being seven inches
long, and the diameter of the point a
quarter of an inch. 1t weighed thir-
teen pounds. The point was upward
and the iron smooth. The missile en-
tered, by its pointed end, the left side
of the face, Immediately anterior to
| the angle of the lower jaw, and pass
ing obliquely upward and slightly
backwards, emerged cut of the top of
the head in the median line, at the
baak part OF the frontal bone, near
the coronaI suturc. The ordinary
reader will understand it better, if we
say that, pointing upward it entered
the cheek outside the teeth, and un-
der the check bone, went inside au
inch behind the eye, and out of the
top of the head in the centre, two
inches back of the line where the
forehead and hair meet. After a few
minutes the man was taken three
quarters of mile in a sitting pos, ton
in cart, The opening in the brain
was two inches wide by three and
half inches long. In fifty-nine days
the patient was abroad. TIE effect of
the injury was the destruction of the
equilibrium between his animal and
intellectual faculties. The man lived
until 1861, when DR.. HaTlon secured
the skull, which he exhibited, illus
trative of the statements contained in
his paper.

AS LOUIS BUGER, the wel-lnown author
and philologist, was walking in the Avenue
des Champs Elysees, one day during the
Exhibition in Paris last year, he heard
familiar voice exclaiming, ''Buy some nuts
of poor man, sir; twenty for penny! y
E'Whatl" said Burger, looking up, and
recognizing his old barber, 'Hare you selling
nuts ?'
''Ah, sir, have been unfortunate" was
the reply.
''But this is no business for a man like
you," SAID Burger.
go, sir, if you could only tell me of some
thing better to do!'' returned the barber,
with a sigh.
Burger was touched. He reflected mo-
ment, then, tearing leaf from his memo
rendum-book, he wrote for few moments,
and handed it to the man, saying, ''Take
this to printing -ofIice, and have hundred
copies struck off; here is the money to pay
for it. Get a license from the Prefecture of
the Police, and sell them at two sous a copy
and you will have bread on the spot The

The New Sennacherib


The freedman came boastfuIly on to the poll,
And his pockets were filed with the things
he had stole;
And the whites of his eyes shown with ter
rible glee, ...
And the SCENTS of his presence were awful,

Like the leavings of wartrobes, at earliest
day,
His cohorts appeared in a shabby array;
Like the leayings of dinner thrown out on
the ground,
Said cohorts at nightfall could nowhere be
found.
For the ribbons of red gave themselves to
the blast
And the freedmen grew frightened and pale
as they passed;
Near that sedative symbol his courage was
killed,
And the rage of the club-room was suddenly
. stilled-
Oh courage that fails at the chance of af-

Obi daring that dwindles and withers away;
Oh !. carpet-bags fAmished, and yawning for
