FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.

One of our exchanges relates that a
gentleman on going home observed in
his yard cat, with head, tail, and hair
erect, every nerve trembling with ex-
element, looking intcntly at hen
which was sitting in the grass, its head
also erect, looking at the cat. The cat
approached cautiously and slowly to the
hen. When about three feet from the
chicken, and about to spring upon it,
the gentleman rushed to tho rescue and
drove away the cat. The hen fell over
on her side insensiblc, was picked
up, carried into the house, and died in
fifteen minutes.
This is as credible as an incident relat-
cd to us by a friend, somewhat OF a
sportsman, the other day. Ho says
that while out hunting a short time ago
he "trced" rabbit in the angle of a
stone wall, where the animal was held
by the dog at one angle and the sports
man at the other, so that escape was
well nigh impossible. The hunter fred,
but with very unsteady aim, and the
rabbit rolled over dead. On examine
ton not mark of injury could be found /;
and even when skinned and carefully
dissectcd it was found that not a single
shot had touched the animal, The poor
rabbit had been frightened to doath.-

How inscnsibly, when we enter the
marvellous, do we pass into the incredi-
BILE. We can add story to the above
told to us by oul genial friend DR.. C
now of Middle Georgia. III one of his
professional visits at tho house of a
planter given to field sports and pointer
dogs, he was one day asked by him
doctor did | ever tell you the story of
my Pointer dog 2" The Doctor was
about to reply when the good lady of
the house interposing said, ooh, yes, you
told the Doctor" 81 don't think did,
replied the husband. The facts, Doc
tor, are these. l went out hunting with
my dog, and lost him. / had the whole
country searched and was obliged to
give it up. Well, three weeks later l
was passing through one of my folds
and saw my dog in tho attitude of
pointing. ] approached him and what
do you think He was stone dead
The strangest thing about it was that |
looked in the direction he was pointing
and there was partridge gazing athim.
| approached it and it was dead too.
The dog waited for me until he persisted
and the bird was afraid to fiy.--AlARI-

The Columbus journal lately
made a statement to the effect, that
Hon. Geo L Converse, in the Leg
islature in 1868, pronounced Gen
eral Rosecrans ''a black hearted
traitorr' Mr. Converse addressed
a note to the Journal, denying the
charge. The Journal re-affimed its
statement, giving Attorney General
West, who was a member of the
Legislature at the time, as its au-
thority for the statement. The At
torney General, in card in the
Journal, fully sustains the state
ment of that paper, and fastens the
declaration of Mr. Converse upon
him in shape that it will trouble
that Democratic gentleman to con
trovert. The leading Democrats of
Ohio would no doubt be glad to OBJ
literate much of their past political
record: but this damning record
stands in letters of living light
against them, and all the rains OF
heaven, for century to come will
not be able to wash them out.

THE Catholic Telegraph is still
making a noise about the common
school question. 1t comes down to
the "hard-pan' in the declaration
that the State has no right to edu-
cate. thus placing itself in the most
absolute antagonism with the Amer
ican sentiment that popular educa-
tion must be enforced by public
law. But why does the Telegraph
select this particular time for an
agitation of the school question,
knowing that there is no possibility
of accomplishing any result, such
as it is assumed that its editors de.
sire? Especially why this agita-
ton, at the moment that distin.
guished Catholic is before the peo
pie of Ohio as the candidate of the
Democratic party for Governor p

LOOK TO THE SCHooLS.-The Gin
cinnati Chronicle says:
The glory and boast of Ohio for
the past thirty years has been her
admirable system of common
schools, free schools for the chill
dren Of all classes. This has been
eloquently dwelt on by gubernato-
rial candidates of all parties, and
none more so than by old fashioned
Democrats. The only religious sect
that has refused to enjoy the benefits
of this system is the Catholic, which
has been persistent in its warefare
against it. Now it becomes an i'm
portant question for tue considera-
ton of the people of Ohio, whether,
in the event Of his election to the
office Of Governor, Gen. Rosecrans
would unite with Archbishop Pur-
cell in an endeavor to get division
Of the school fund ?

THE STATE IN THE HANDS OF TIE
RoMIsH PRIEsTHooD.-As the Gov
ernor's term of office lasts two
years, and as he has the appoint
ment of one new director every
wears in each of our various State
institutions, he has it in his power
to engineer a majority of directors
into every public institution. Che
subordinate officers Of these institu-
tons are appointed by those higher
ones whom the Governor appoints,
and their appointment depends upon
the pleasure of the majority in the
Board of Directors. Whatever po-
litical Or religious coloring charac-
terizes the majority of Directors
who happens to be in office, viii
naturally be reflected IN the lower
officials. In case General Rose.
Grams should be elected Governor
we may, in view Of his well-knoHD
social and religious councillors,
pradict, with certainty, what In
fluences will regulate his appoint
ments. He could not, and would
not, dare to withdraw himself from
those influences. Let the electors
of Ohio, at the next election for
Governor, bear in mind the facr
that if RosecraDs is elected tae
public institutions of the State will
be brought under Catholic influence,
and indirectly played into the hands
of the Catholic clergy Gin. Fozks

How TO SUPPRESS THE FAME
OF ONIONS. of our excellent
exchanges is responsible for the
following:
"Onions are a favorite esculent
of many persons at this season of
the year, but on account of the
strong aroma proceeding from them
they hesitate to eat them. The
odor, however, is very easily neu-
tralized. If person who has in
dulged in them will but chew lump
of assafoetida as large as marble,
or carry about with him a small
vial full of sulphuretted hydrogen,
from which he will occasionally Y
draw the cork, the smell of the
onions will be entirely unnoticed.
If this does not answer, try a very
old and unmerchantable egg. II
might be broken and kept in q
bottle, drawiN g the cork as occasion
may require.

HEALTH OF FARMERs-There

HEALTH OF FARMERs-There are
seven reasons why farmers are
healthier than professional men, viz :
l. They work more and develop
all the muscles of the body.
9. They take their exercise in the
open air, and breath a greater
amount of oxygen.
3. Their food and drinks are COM
monty less adulterated, and far
more simple.
4. They do not everwork their
brain as much as Industrious pro
fessional men do.
5. They take their sleep common
ly during the hours of darkness,
and do not try to turn night into
day.
g. They are not so ambitious, and
do not wear themselves out so rap
idly in the fierce contest of rivalry.
Z. Their pleasures are simple and
less exhausting.

REThe following from the Pitts

E The following from the Pitts
burgh commercial, is sound:
"a large class of advertisers when
dull times approach, instead OF
exercising the usual sagacity exhib-
tied at other seasons, tie an addi
tional knot in their purse strings,
withdraw their names from before
the public, and then set down to
lament their sad fate and wonder
why $50 little is going on" This is
folly. 1t may be laid down as an
indisputable fact, that if in good
times it is necessary to advertise to
secure business, in dull times it is
all the more so. And why? Simply
because the fact of advertising at all
is proof conclusive that such a
course will and does bring business :;
hence the more one patronizes the
press the greater will be his revenue.
and the more certain his success.
Suppose they were to refuse to
advertise at all |? Dull times"
would be the inevitable result, and
no one would wonder at their fail

A Murder that was Not a MUIR
der.

Quite sensation transpired in the
puiet village Of North Granville on
Saturday last. A number of the
villagers were engaged in the pleas
ant rural pastime known as berrying,
when three young men conceived
the idea of playing trick upon a
lady whose entire energies were
bent to the performance OF the task
of filing a six quart pail with the
precious berries While one of
them remained behind, the other
two went up to her, and, expressing
an interest in her success, tried to
persuade her to take another
direction, as berries were more
plentiful that way than on the route
she was pursuing. But the lady
thought she would eight it out on
that line and, thanking the young
men, kept on her course. Presently
she came upon the PROSTATE body
of man whose throat appeared cut
from ear to ear, and from whose
gaping wounds the rich current of
life had flowed until it covered his
breast, while his face seemed cut
and hagoled in a dreadful manner.
The lady gave one scream, and,
dropping her pail of berries, set out
on a lively run to the nearest house
to inform the occupants of the hor-
rible murder that had been commit
ted in the field. On her way she
met Deputy Sheriff of the county
with two prisoners whom he was
conveying to Salem, and to him she
unfolded the narrowing tale. He
could not leave his prisoners then,
but would convey them to Salem,
and return as soon as possible to
elucidate the mystery. The story
of the murder flew like wildfire
through the village. Five or six
proEninent men of the place started
out to find the body of the unfortu-
nate man. The Deputy returned
from Salem, bringing Sheriff Shaw
and others with him After a long
search, the lady, who acted as guide
for the party, found the spot where
body ought to be. but the murdered
man was not to be found. He had
evidently fed to parts unknown.
and, what was worse, had taken
with him the nice pail CT berries
which the lady had picked during
the day. The party then began to
see through the joke; the blood
stains upon the mans throat and
face were nothing more nor less
than the stains Of raspberry juice
The young men returnsd to the vii
lage after dark, but the most search
inquiry failed to elicit from then
any information Of the mystery

SUIcIDE.-We learn that q Ger
man, of Salem township, by ths
name of Joachim Hagelstein, lately
of Mechenburgh, Germany, com
mitted suicide last Saturday by
jumping from a small boat into the
Portage River, while boy was
plying the oars, carrying the man
down the stream to some place he
had previously hired the boy to
take him. When in the middle of
the stream, he took out his pocket
book, put it in his hat, pulled off
his coat. and laid them in The boat,
then asked the boy if he could
swim, and received negative an
swer-commenced rocking the boat
until told by the boy to stop. Then
the loves sick youth arose, jumped
into the river and drowned before
any assistance could have reached
him. The coroner's inquest held
by Esquire Frank we are told de-
veloped the facts that Hagelstein,
when be came to this county a few
months since, also paid the passage
of his lassie who had promised to
be his wife, but on reaching the
fair land of Salem became enchanted
with the raven locks and handsome
form of another German, and was
wont to forget her promises with
Joachim, and on consummating the
marriage VOWS with another than
himself, was more than the nerves
of the unfortunate man could bear,
so he plunged into the next world.
