Death of Franklin Pierce,

Ex-President Franklin Pierce died
at his residence in New Hampshire,
yesterday, after a painful and protrac-
ted illness. He was in the sixty-ffth
year of his age. During his lifetime
Mr. Pierce went through all the gra-
dations of political promotion, from
the State Legislature to the Presiden-
cy, and in whatever Office he was call
ed to fill he was always + to his
principles and true to his friends. He
commenced his career as the ardent
champion of General Jackson, and,
though but twenty-five years of age at
the time, did much Service for the
Democratic cause in the Eastern States
during the period of Jackson's can
didacy and Administration. He was
but twenty-nine years of age when he
vas first elected to Congress, and four
years later he,,was chosen Senator from
New Hampshire. AT that time such
men ae Clay, Webster, Calhoun. Ben
ton and Silas Wright we're in the Sen,
ate, and Mr. Pierce was the youngest
member of the body. He resigned
his Senatorship in 1912, and resumed
the practice of law. In 1S47 he en-.
listed as a volunteer in one of the
New Hampshire regiments, raised for
the Mexican war, but was soon after
promoted to the rank of BrigadieI
General, in which capacity he served
with great distinction to the close oil
the war, In 1852 he was nominated
for the Presidency, by the Democrat.
ic Convention at Baltimore. His
nomination was entirely unexpected
TO himself and his friends. His name
a not put forward until the thirty.
sixth ballo', when the Virginia delega.
ton cast their votes for him and on
the f%orty-ninth ballot he received the
nomination by 292 votes against II
for all others. His principal compel
itors were Buchanan, Cass, Marcy and
Douglas. At the election in Novem
Der he received the votes of all the
States, except Massachusetts, Yer
mont, Kentucky and Tennessee
whose suffrages were given for the
Wing candidate, General Winfield
Scott.
1t has been said, and we think with
truth, hat the Cabinet ofMr. Pierce
was the ablest that any President has
called around him since the days OF
Washington and Jefferson. William
L. Marcy was Secretary of State;
James Gutherie, (recently deceased,)
Secretary of the Treasury; jefferson
Davis, Secretary of War; james G.

OHIO NEWS.

The Ohio Eagle says quite an excite
ment vas cansed on our streets on
Thursday evening last, by The report
that a man named Jones, had been
shot in his house and instantly killed
by an old friend of his, named Reese,
both Welshmen, and workmen en-
ployed in the G. az. r. r. car works.
The report upon investigation we
found but too true. The man Jones
receiving a pistol ball in the left side
of his neck, penetrating downwards,
severing arteries, &c, causing instant
death. Reese made his escape, but
was captured at Logan the next day
and brought to this city. He had his
examination on Monday last, which
resulted in his being bound over under
the sum Of $4,000, not giving which
he was sent to Jail to await his trial.
Jones leaves his wife and several chill
dren.
DISTRESSING SUICIDE On Satur-
day night last. Mrs Mary George,
wife of VIM. George of Lexington,
committed suicide, in that place, by
jumping into a cistern. She had not
been we'll for some two or three years,
and it is supposed she was slightly de-
ranged ON the night i'll question, and
rising from bed without her husbands
knowledge, she threw herself into the
cistern, as above stated. 1t is thought
from marks ON the side of the cistern
that she regretted her act and endeav-
ored to save herself after getting into
the water, but was unable to get out.
She was a lady highly respected, and
leaves three grown up children and a
babe.-Mansfed Herald.

if they exercised more discre-
ton, and did not permit themselves to
be led into trouble and difficulty BY
white men, who are really to blame
for all the ills the colored people suf-
err On Saturday, acting under the
advice of white men, they forced an
issue at the National Theater, and last
night they attempted to force them
selves upon two of our most prominent
restaurants. After the City Councils
adjourned, some of the white members
suggested Oysters" and about fifteen
of them, black and white, went first to
a restaurant recently opened ON the
avenue, lea Tenth street. The col
cred members took seats at tables be-
fore they were observed, but were po-
litely requested to leave, and the white
party went out. They -then=repaired
to our largest and most popular res
taurant, where leaving his colored
brethren at the door, one of the white
coQncilmen went in, when about the
f&qwing dialogue took place between
HQielf and the proprietor; Council

first time, it was N~meysered that
esMsef the Councilmen were co!ored,
wen the proprietor said he could not
Amit them to his tables. The whole
party then fetired, and it is under
stood. that q bill will be introduced inc
to Councils next week to regulate res:
Hdrqnts as well as. theaters. The
8Role object of these movements seems
to be to stir up strife between the
white and colored people, for no at
tempt has yet been made by the latter
to force themselves into, barber shops
or eating houses controlled by persons
of their own color. One of the men
who tried to force himself upon the
theater on Saturday was young Worm
ley, whose father keeps a big eating
house, and if acolored man should in
trude there as q guest he would sim
ply get put out for his pains. hfr,
| Stewart, one of the Aldermen FROM
the First Ward, and whose vote help
cd to pass the theater bill, keeps the
barber shop at Wizards, and it is well
known that he would not allow q col
ored man to be shaved in one of his

hummer Cnre of Cow.

Cows require shade in summer, and il
at liberty will travel great distance to
obtain it. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that they are the best judges of their
wants, and if deprived of this comfort
and compelled to stand or lie all day
without any screen from the hot sun, a
declise in flesh, loss of vital energy, and
marked decrease in the flow of milk
must follow. The grazing times for cat
tie i'll hot weather are at uightfall, and
early in the morning when the grass is
fresh with dew; and they should by TO
means be confined in the yard during
the night time, and retained there no
longer than is necessary at milking time.
A good supply of fresh pure water is as
essential as plenty of feed to keep up the
yield of milk, and very great error is
entertained by some who suppose that
if cows get their fill once day it is all
they require. If n farmer is compelled
to water his stock at the well in dry
time, large trough should be furnished.
and kept filled so that they can drink
when they choose. The water is all the
better for standing short time exposed
to the atmosphere. Farmers sometimes
get the idea that cattle do not want
water but once day, for the reason
that they will come to the well only
that often to get it. When drink first
fails them in the pasture, cattle will
visit the well TIVE or three times day
for a short time, but soon learn that
water is furnished only ut certain times
and then they remain away, however
thirsty they may become until the hour
arrives which has been set as time to
supply them.

In the neighborhhod of Storm Lake,
Buena Vista county, Wisconsin, a tide
OF immigration has set in never before
equaled in the annals of emigration to
the West. From one elevation q gentle
man counted sixty-eight teams engaged
IN breaking prairie at one time, and as
far as the eye could reach the white
tents of settlers were dstting the green
prairie. 1t is estimated that nearly one
thousand families have emigrated to
that region this spring, and that the
tide has not yet begun to ebb. The class
OF people going there are of the hardy
and industrious stripe-in many in
stances the wives driving the breaking
teams while their husbands hold the
plow.

The Grentue.. of Women

The real influence of a true woman is
greater to-day than ever, only our stand
ard of true womanhood is higher. We
ask more at her hands because we real
ize more fully her magnificent capabli-
ties. On the stage ksr greatness has
long been recognized, but in the world
of art, and music, and fiction, and the
still noblsr social Influences which she
wields, her laurels are greener and OF
fresher growth. For the first time, too,
her intellect is graphing with sub
iects hitherto denied her. Into the
mysteries of nature she is taking her
first steps; science is showing her
strange wonders; philosophy is teach
ing her the occult forces and hidden
laws of the world of thonght. The dull
monotony of domestic duty rises into
the dignity of intelligent labor as she
sees its deep meaning and far-reachlng
power. For the old helplessness comes
the restful consciousness of asknowled'
ged strength; and the sitting calm OF
life without high aims is exchanged for
the quick impulses and healthful actlvi'
ties of am bilious efforts.

when from the COW yard back Of him
There came female cry.

While at her cum, with hidgus roar,

"Oh! laws q massy! help me. SAM" -A' -
Jerewshew did exclaim;
And Samyule drawed his jack-knife forth,
And then put back the same.
Sweet maid" he said, coursgeousiy. q
Just hold the critters horns,
Or else when cum up she'll be
A treddin' on my corns.'
She quickly smiled her graticbude,
When swift the varmin. stoOps,
And in moment had Miss Dow
A hangin' by her hoops.

And With fearful frown ~
He siezed heavy cistern pole

The cenkerin' hero dropped his pole,
And few to where Miss Dow
Stood leanin' up agin the fence
A yellin' at the cow.
Sez he, "Jerushy promise me,
Before agin we part
That you will take the name Of Pod,
3 And ease my achin' heart"
Sez she, "Mr. Pod. Sir, if you please
S Aud if you must know all
I've promised Alicksander Bangs
To marry him next fall"
Poor Samyule paused to hear no more,
But burst out into grOans,
And pulled his hair and scratched him self
And tore his pantaloOns.
The dark duck pond invited him,
He plunged beneath the wave,
And with groan upon his lips
He sank int that grave.
