A COrresuOndent of the

n correspondent OF the Zanes
vile Courier gives particulars of a hor
rible affair at Munday creek, Perry
county, on the 9th inst, as follows
Mr.. Rufier was about to raise a log
house, and in the morning killed q
sheep by cutting off its head with an
ak, on a block. Two of children watch,
ed the operation, and when their faith
er and the other hands were busily en-
gagged IN the raising of the building,
one of the little boys, about seven years
of age, said to his younger brother,
about five years old, LAY your head on
the block until show you how father
killed the sheep" The little fellow
did so. The elder one drew the ak and
went through the motions, and sever
ed the head of his little brother almost
from the body. The mother of the
children hearing the noise went to see
what had happened. Finding her child
dying she gave a scream which startled
the hands on the building, who were
up very high, and in the act of putting
up a large log, which they let fall, kill
ing five men, the father of the children
and four others.

The Immaculate Republican
Party.

A correspondent of the Temper
anee Times, IN last weeks issue oil
that paper, under the above head
ing, writes:
One need not travel far norsearch
long for examples Of inconsistency
in the conduct of both friends and
foes of Temperance. The RepublI-
can party claims to be composed OF
the progressive, liberty loving, and
intelligent elements of society. Es-
pecially as regards the Temperance
reform are we assured there is no
name given under heaven or earth
whereby anything can be accom-
plIshed except through the Repub-
lican party. We have searched
through the proceedings of their
conventions IN hopes of finding
some foundation for this assertion.
Resolutions are passed in profuslon,
ard with the greatest unanImIty, in
relation to almost every subject of
national, state and municipal i'm
ror:ance, excepting always con-
corning the great cause of Intem>
perance. Not a word about that
Can anything be more supremacy
ridiculous than the action of The
Cuyahoga County Republican Com
v%entiOn? Three resolutions were
passed-one ENDORSING the state
platform, (has 1t one word or hint
IN relation to the great inIquity of
the liquor trait p one congratula-
tory Of Prussian victories, and one
in regard to building a county jail !
Here we c the great immaculate
Republican Temperance party-the
party claiming the honor of liberia
ting the slaves-the party IN favor
OF universal freedom and pure re-
publicanlsm-passing resolutions OF
sympathy for one of the most des.
potic governments now III exist
ence. William, of Prussia, a believ-
er in the divine right of kings, a
MAJ who said, when he took the
crown, that he accepted 1T as a gift
of God,snot Of the people, a man
who regards the people as tools and
slaves created tor the pleasure of
his august majesty, this man, ruling
his people with a rod of re-
ceives congratulations from the
liberty-loving Republican party in
free America They had no word
of c0mforC to offer the downtrodden
and wretched of our land, made so
by the liquor traffic. No proposl-
ton was made TO stop the food of
crime, suffering and pauperIsm, the
direct result of inter perance, but
only congratulations for the success
ono Gespot contendIng with an
1ther. Who does not sec the object
IF this resolution? Most certainly
~ fatter the fright arm of the Re-
publican party the German lager
beer vote. We are reminded of the !
ines:
And Satan still, for idle hands,
Some mischief inds to do"
The mission o fthe party fulfilled,

ling TO it, boastof what 1t has done, '
ry to keep its memory green, and

AHoUsE, belonging either TO John
O.. Parmiter or Thomas Jet, was
consumed by fire in Meigsvllle
township, on Tuesday evening. We
are uncertain as to the ownership,
because ofthe fact that the farm on
which the house stood was sold to
Jett by Parmiter, and was to be
delivered over to Jett on Wednes>
day morning. Parmlter had begun
to move OUT ofthe house at the time
the fire occurred. We are net well
enough acquainted with the CIR
cumstanees of the sale TO tell who
the house belonged to. House was
worth, in the estimation of one liv>
ing in the neighborhood, about five
hundred dollars. No insurance.
