H- Our readers have heretofore
been advised of the fact that parties
were engaged in boring for gold and
silver, at point mile or two back
of Racine, in this county. Some two
or three holes we believe have been
drilled to depth of about five hun
dred feet, without coming upon any
thing more valuable than coal; but on
Thursday, of last week, a party of
which Mr.. Geo. w. Reariden is prin-
cipal, struck vein of quartz at a
depth of about 445 feet, which is evl-
IDENTIFY erich" with some metal, what,
we are not prepared to say. We
hear that jeweler to whom some of
the debris taken from the vein was
submitted, says that the metal con-
tanned in it is gold; but we can not
vouch for the truth of the statement.
One thing, however, is certain: Mr..
Reariden has struck vein of quartz,
pretty thoroughly impregnated with
some bright metal which he believes
to be gold, and which we hope may
turn out to be that or something bet
ter. He says the quartz vein is
about three feet thick.
We intend visiting the locality
where the boring is going on, soon,
when we will endeavor to give cor
rect report of what has been DONE

Hon. B. 2. Wade.

Gen. BRrsBAN is writing to the Gin
cinnati Gazette a series of letters, on
the political history of Hon. b. F..
WADE. From one of the late mum
bers we copy the following extract,
as being peculiarly characteristic of
the old hero:
Senator Wade inaugurated the
practice of setting up Northern back
bone in the Senate. Soon after tax
ing his seat, he witnessed one of
those scenes so common then in the
Senate in those days. A Southern
fire eater made an attack on North
ern Senator, and Wade was amazed
and disgusted at the cringing, COW
ardly way in which the Northern
man bore the taunts and insults of
the hot headed Southerner AS no
allusion was made to himself or State,
Mr.. Wade sat still, but when the
Senate adjourned, he said openly, if
ever Southern Senator made such
an attack ON him or his State while
he sat on the floor, he would brand
him as liar. This coming to the
ears of the Southern men, Senator
took occasion to peintedly speak a
few days afterwards of Ohio and her
people as negro thieves. Instantly
Mr.. Wade sprang to his feet and
pronounced the Senator liar. The
Southern Senators were thunder
struck, and gathered around their
champion, while the Northern men
grouped about Wade. A feeler was
put cut from the Southern side, look
ing to retraction, but Mr.. Wade re-
torted in his peculiar style, and de-
manded an apology for the insult
offered to himself aud the people he
represented. The matter thus clos
ed, and a fight was looked upon as
certain. The next day a gentleman
called on the Senator from Ohio, and
asked the usual questions touching
his acknowl edgement of the code.
81 am here" he responded, sin a
double capacity. l represent the
State of Ohio, and l represent Ben
Wade. As Senator l am opposed
to dueling. As Ben Wade, recog-
nize the code"
sMy friend feels aggrieved,' said
the gentleman, sat what you said in
the Senate yesterday, and viii ask for
apology or satisfaction"
81 was somewhat embarrassed, =
continued Senator Wade, ..by my
position yesterday, as l have sene
respect for the Chamber. l now
take this opportunity to say what ]
then thought, and you will. if you
/ please, repeat it. Your friend is s
foul mouthed old blackguard."

A CALIFORNIA FoG.-Baron Munich
ausen has left some decendents IN
Lake County, California, as we judge
by .he following from the Clear
Lake Courier: "Hon. j. b. Hollo-
way, while crossing the lake from
Big Valley, a few days since, in a
small boat, got lost in the fog and
wandered about several hours, not
knowing whether he was going some
where or not. At last when he
thought he was probably in the mid
die of the lake, he heard some one
talking. Steering for the noise, he
soon came in contact with fence,
within few feet of house, and call
ed for light. By means of torch
and q broadax he managed to get
out. One circumstance of his voyage
convinces US that it must have been
an unusually heavy mist. He heard
a flock of geese near by, and having
his gun with him, shot in that direc-
ton; but he soon found that the load
had only penetrated few feet, where
he found the shot all sticking in the
fog"

w A Washington correspondent

wA Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald tells SEN
sational story to explain the Presi-
dents removal of Secretary Stanton.
A number of desperate haters of the
Republican party advised him to
fight radicalism with arms, saying
that 1906 men were at his service,
10000 being ready in Maryland, and
5000 in Washington. By removing
Stanton he could declare himself ac-
tual commander of the army and
navy, displace such Generals as
would not obey his orders, appeal
by proclamation to the people to
support him, and thus gather to his
defense such force as Congress
could not resist. The writer does
not pretend to say how far the Presi-
dent accepted this programme, or
whether lie had any idea of consent
ing to it.

WORTH REMEMBERING.-''Ifa man
faint away" says Halls Journal of
Health, ''instead of yelling out like
savage; or running to him to lift him
up, lay him at full length on his back
on the floor, loose the clothing, push
the crowd away so as to allow the air
to reach him, and let him alone
Dashing water over a person in q
simple fainting fit is barbarity.-
The philosophy of the falnting fit is
that the heart fails to send the prop
er supply of blood to the brain. If
the person is erect that blood has to
be thrown up hill; but if lying down
it has to be projected horizontally,
which requires less power, as is ap-
parent"

THE HEROIC MOTHER.
A THRILLING NARRATIVE.

In the village of Ravenswood, West
Va, which is situated upou the bank
of the pleasant Ohio, there dwelt q
family, consisting of father, mother
and two children.
On the 4th day Of January, 1868,
this family took passage on board
the Harry Dean, steamer running
in the Marietta and Cincinnati trade
Shortly after leaving the port of Gal
lIpolis, about noon, and when all
seemed pleased with the comforts
surrounding them, and when none
thought of danger, a great crash
was heard-a dense smoke, mingled
with ashes and vapor, enshrOuded
the entire boat-the boilers had ex
ploded! another moment and all was
still, save the wild cry of agony
which broke forth from the mutil-
lated sufferers.
Scarcely had this appalling scene
passed away until new danger,
more appalling, if possible, than the
first, burst upon the survivors. A
dark, massive, curling cloud of
smoke, which now overspread the
heavens above the i'll fated Harry
Dean, told plainly that she was on
fire
In moment all were on their feet;
hurrying to and fro, crying wildly
for he!p-but in vain-the flames
rolled .madly on, and none but the
God above could save the unfortu-
nate beings; and alas! He seemed
not to listen to their wild, agonizing
cries for mercy. What could they
do?
my darling child" screamed the
agonized Mrs. A. as she clasped her
child tighter and tighter in her arms,
the flames coming nearer
All hope Of escape seemed gone
But with an energy which amounted
to desperation, inspired by the awful
danger, she seized her child, with
the wild and agonizing cry
'Rather would l see the pure wa
lers cover thee, my child, than that
the devouring flames should consume
my darling" and, with a cry, she
tossed the child into the water
Then, at the request of her husband,
who had succeeded in escaping from
the flames, and who was now brave
ly endeavoring to save his loved
ones, she threw the other child over
board also, and it was caught in the
fathers arms. She then jumped into
the river herself and was saved
But, oh, where was her babe, her
darling? Did no one save twas it
lost?
'No, it is savedr' exclaimed a
voice, and at the next moment man
bent over her and laid the child in
her arms.
"My darling, my darling" cried
the weeping mother, bending over
and kissing her child again and
again, and in so doing, her black,
luxuriant hair fell heavily about her
neck and shoulders. But no, it is
not purely black now. The fright
sustained by the heroic mother, has
silvered it over as If with age.
But, alas! all, save this family and
a few others, perished in the flames.
For years to come, perhaps, will
the heroic mother tell the tale, which
will send the little ones gathered
around her weeping to their beds.

A SOUTHERN VIEW OF IMPEAcH-
MENT.--The following extracts from
a letter written by a gentleman in
Georgia to merchant in New York.
What he says is beyond doubt the
simple truth in regard to the result
of impeachment:
"We are not sorry to learn that
Mr. johnson is to be removed from
office. But for him, this State and
half dozen others would have fol
lowed Tennessee in accepting the
Constitutional Amendment, by which
we should have been represented at
Washington twelve months since
The evils Mr. Johnson has inflicted
upon the South by his efforts to
thwart the views of Congress have
been second only to the spollatlons
of war; but, depend upon it, within
sixty days after his removal we shal
have a gradual return of quiet and
prosperity throughout the South

the newspapers. The National Intel
igencer and The World have dis
cussed this question with tngovern-
able fury. and in some cases with
indecency, descending at times to
epithets which gentlemen have bali
ished from polite conversation. The
Republican statesmen and the Repub-
lican newspapers have shown, on
the other hand, a calmness and i'm
partiality almost judicial. The par
tisanship has been exclusively with
the Democratic Congressman and
the Democratic press.
1t is well to keep this in mind
The impeachment of the President
is new proceeding, and attended
with awe and gravity. The Repub-
lican party has assumed it, and we
call upon the country to witness how
nobly it has thus far performed the
work. We presume mistakes will be
made. They who walk the path for
the first time may be excused for
stumbling. We may have some
manifestations of passion, for these
men are mortal and have the passions
of mortality. But we feel assured
that Impeachment will be conducted
with conscientiousness, patience, and
courage, and certainly without the
slightest semblance of partisanship.--

@ Democratic editors have no
difficulty in discovering in Senator
Wade an interested party, and there
fore an unfit judge of the guilt or in
nocence of the President, because he
would succeed to the office in case
impeachment should take place; but
they utterly fail to see in Senator
Patterson, of Tennessee, q son -in-law
of the President, an interested party.

@ The Cincinnati Commercial, in
speaking of the Jones-Onderdonk
contested election case, says
"The pretext for thus ousting the
chosen representative of the people
of the Eighth Senatorial District, is
that his majority was composed of
votes cast by persons having visi-
BILE admixture of African blood, the
decision Of the State Supreme Court
that such persons in whom white
blood predominates are legal voters
under the constitution, being ignored
or defed. Acts of this character are
utterly indefensible, even on the
poor plea of present expediency.--
They are as atrocious in principle,
and sure to prove as profitless to
their perpetrators, as raising the
black flag in war. Self-interest, as
well as self-respect, should impel all
parties to unite in repudiating prece-
dents so pregnant with mischief

~ At the. Jackson County Conr

~ At the Jackson County Court
of Common Pleas, last week, six
white men, and one negro, were con-
victed of Penitentiary offenses.--
Andrew Russell, for manslaughter;
VIM. McOwens, for burglary and
larceny; John I. Beavers, burglary
and larceny; Miles Oiler, burglary;
George r. Glenn and Laton Atha,
alias David Muring, both said to be
from Gallia county, were convicted
of bigamy; VIM. Watson, negro,
burglary; and John Faudree, shoot
ing with intent to kill. Faudree
formerly resided in this city, and, at
the time the crime was committed,
was driving McCoRMICK's hack. The
circumstances of the case are related
as follows, by the Standard:
"Yeager was driving hack, carry
ing the U. S. Mail between Portland
and Gallipolis. Faudree was also
driving hack between the same
points Yeager had been stopping
his team at certain place at the plat
form in Portland. On one occasion
Faudree stopped his team at the
same place. Yeager led the team
away from this place. This led the
parties into fight, in which Faudree
was much hurt about the face. This
occurred about two weeks before the
shooting, Faudree left his team again
at the same place at the platform,
when Yeager again drove it away
The parties had a few words, when
Faudree shot Yeager, the ball pass
ing through the top of the shoulder,
causing a slight wound. Faudree
testified under the act of last winter.
He said that after the first fight, he
had heard of threats made by Yea
ger, and that when he got into the
last difficulty, he saw Yeager open
his coat, and, IS he then thought, at
tempt 10 draw Il pistol, and he be-
lievcd Yeager was going to shoot
him. Yeager testified that he had
no revolver, and not even pocket in
that part Of his coat, and that he
made no motion like drawing re
volyer. Faudree did not deny the
shooting, but claimed that it was
done in self defense"
