Tue N. Y. Tribune succinctly comments on
the Ohio Democratic platform thus "The
Democracy of Ohio yesterday nominated a
ticket for State officers and adopted platform
in which they furnish much valuable informa-
tion as TO their opinions of the proper con-
struction of the Constitution of the United
States and give their approval to that por-
ton of the Declaration of Independence
(which makes ours the land of liberty and the
asylum for the opposed of all nations" They
also make the rather startling announcement
that this idea has ever been one of the cardinal
principles of the Democratic party. About
four millions of the oppressed would have
been glad to have known that several years ago,
Instead Of advocating the reputation of the
Public Debt openly as the Democracy ol

THE SNAKE STORY told by PARsoN Hail.,
is added to by one Of our Oldest citizens. He
says that number of the snakes that were
uncarthed, were put into barrel in frozen, or
torpid state, and taken home to his log house
on the site now occupied by TIMOTHY STRONG,
by Mr.. SWEET, that they might be seen, and
possibly admired. They were taken into the
house, where the atmosphere in the course of
the Higkt amelorated their condition, and
they began survey of the premises. In the
morning formidable old rattler had curled
up on the bed along side of Mr. Sweet, and an
other had found a more elevated position on
the clock mantle. This was a freedom not at
all pleasing, and the dispatch of the reptiles,
became an ante breakfast amusement.

A PoRTGE Co. RoMACE.-A correspon-
dent from Garrettsville furnishes the Por-
tage County Democrat with the follow
ing romantic story. The family name OF
the part es alluded to is French:
A story of real life, shrouded somewhat in
romance, runneth in this wise About thirty
three years ago, a young lady about fifteen
years of age, beautiful and accomplished, but
especially noted for her musical talent-for she
could sing like bird-was wooed and won
by young mechanic, who was also noted
singer. The union did not prove harmonious,
and after an existence of about six months,
the young wife returned 10 her parental roof
for support and protection A committee was
selected to confer with the estranged parties.
One of the committeeman was the Hon. D. r.
Ti,dcn, of Cleveland. The committee effected
nothing in the way of reconciliation. The
husband went his way A divorce was OBJ
tanned, but have not been advised which was
the complaining party. A son was born. in
whom the pride of the mother was centred
more and more as he grew from infancy to
childhood, and from childhood to manhood,
for she was in him rewarded more than moth
ers generally are. The father married again
and reared family of children. His name
often appears in print, for he is an author OF
music and singer of note. More than thirty
years have dragged their crooked lengths
along, and dlsappeard behind eternity's veil
During all this time, l believe the actors in
this drama met not; but strange things do
happen. The second wife sickened and died
after while the husband siekened, and, as he
lay upon his bed, uncertain of the future, mem.
ory called up the past in long review; some
little wrongs may have tingled his conscience
at all events he longed to see her around
whose life he had wantonly wrapped the dark
mantle. Efforts were made TO get her by his
bedside; they were successful, a reconciliation
was effected and she administered to bin du.
ring his indspositiOn When sufficiently con.
valescent, together they visited her old home
kindly words were spoken, the dark past for
gotten, assurances of iealty in the future made
and again the hand was promised. Last night
May 5lh, they were married-the life journey
so early begun, so soon disconnected, was
commenced anew.

Editor IstegrGp6.-Will you allow a stranger
in Ashtabula the privilege of mentioning in
your paper-which, by the bye, we in Cleveland
have the habit of considering one of the best
county papers in the State--the pleasure that
he had on Wednesday morning of visiting the
High School and hearing the recitation of Mr..
Clemens class in CaesarS last week heard
the recitation of the corresponding class IN the
Painesville School, than which there is proba-
bly, no better High School in the State. much
admired there the accurate, discriminating
drill and the proficiency of the pupils; and
must own to little establishment at finding
results equally perfect in school so much less
known to fame as is the Ashtabula High
School
The people of Ashtabula should be, and,
presume. are, proud of their High School
should praise 1t at home, speak well of il
abroad, cherish feeling Of personal owner
ship in it and of responsibility for Its perma,
nent success, and by SO doing sustain in its
teachers that high enthusiasm which is the
! very life-biood Of school. CLEVELAND,
