OhiO--Tenth District.

Though we gave the republicans o.
the tenth district of Ohio, credit for q
handsome victory last week, it was hard
ly up to what they deserve. 1t appears
that this district elected Truman HI. Ho
ag, democrat at the last election, by
912 majority, whereas at the election last
week. the republicans elected Peck, by
2,797 majority, thus making a net gain
over the election of 1868, of 3,709! That
will do very well for district that elect
ed democrat by nearly thousand ma
jority in 1868.

Coon FOR CoNNEcTIcUT-On Tues
day about one hundred New York City
roughs, composed of thieves and no doubt
some of the worst and most desperate
characters, in which that city so much
abounds, went over into Connecticut for
prize fight, and other fighting of sim
liar nature. On their arrival in Milford
they broke up religious meeting, and
knocked down several persons and sack
ed houses, whereupon Gov. Jewell hear
ing of their doings, called out the mill
tia, surrounded and captured about rs
of these roughs, whom he held as prison
ers, and who were to be brought before
the courts on Wednesday, much to the
chagrin of the desderadoes, besides
breaking up brutal fist fight. These
roughs may find it not so agreeable here
after in bringing their prize fights and
raids into New England.

Rejoicing.

The colored people of the country ev-
erywhere have improved the opportunity
of the adoption of the fifteenth amend
ment, for general rejoicing. Among
these demonstrations, none are more sig
nificant than the one in New York City
last Friday, where two thousand able
bodied colored men marched in triumph
ant procession through the very streets
where SO many of their number, with
not the slightest provocation, were hunt
ed, killed, burnt or hung during the draft
riots Of 1863. Verify considering the
magnitude of the object attained, justice
has not been so very slow in this case.
Besides the procession there were thou
sands of them on the streets in holiday
regalia, and all moving with music and
banners flying, for the day of their de-
liverance had come. With them it is
the year of jubilee. In their speeches
LINCOLN and GRANT received a Just
share Of their gratitude. Even Wen
dell Phillips said he had never expected
to live to see that day. At Louisville,
Kentucky, the colored procession was
three-fourths Of an hour passing given
point, and at sunrise they fired salute
of 100 guns. At various other places
similar scenes have occurred. 1t is the
second birth of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and further fulillment of
the prophecy of John Adams about the
Fourth of July, and may justly be re-
garded as among the grandest steps of
our national progress.

GIRLS AED FALSE HAIR.-Girls of
fourteen to eighteen years of age should
be warned against destroying their own
hair for all the future by wearing the
masses of false hair now in vogue. If it
has been kept short, as it should until
they are twelve years old, it will be of
just the right length to braid and wear
flowing; if it be too long for that let
them braid it loosely, and tie it up at the
top with ribbons, SO as to form braided
loops, bat let them on no account mount
a heavy chignon.

OUT-GRowING ONES CoFFIN.-The
English papers report the circumstances
of an extraordinary funeral. The de-
ceased was single lady, seventy years
of age. Five years ago she had coffin
made, of which she was so careful that
she never would allow it to be removed
from her room, except when she paid an
occasional visit to Weymouth, and then
she took it with her. She always kept
eight half crowns in it, being five shil-
lings apiece for the bearers when their
office became necessary. The old lady
died of dropsy, and the cherished coffin,
being too small, it was found necessary
to have another made. Her relations,
however, would not separate her from
her constant companion of her old age,
and so they had the smaller coffin chop
ped up and buried with the corpse in the
same grave.

A MONTANA EXEcuTioN,-A cores
pendent of the Rochester Chronicle thus
describes the quiet manner in which the
vigilance committee works in Montana
some Sunday night in the year 1863,
Crescent Hall, was, as usual, crowded to
its utmost capacity with miners, gamb-
lers and roughs of every grade. When
the play was at its most interesting scene
four large men masked and armed en-
tered the hall, marched down the aisle
to the parquette, and threw blanket
over the head of large, fine, well dress
ed man. He was bound Immediately
with strong cords, and in moments time
he was spirited out of the hall. Not q
word was said, no resistance or interior
ence was offered, not a word was spoken
by those in masks; but like mystery they
disappeared as coolly as they had enter
ed. Soon the curtain raises, and as the
scenes more and more interest, the audi
ence forget the mysterious strangers in
mask, but have terrible desire to know
who they are. After midnight the show
is closed, the crowd seek their homes,
making many crooked paths TO their
cabins; quiet reigns for few hours over
the wicked city. Monday morning clear
and beautiful. The city is excited; a
man is found hanging by the neck, stark
dead, on an old chang tree" in Dry
Gulch. Thousands rush to see the VIC
tim. He is the man who was spirited
out of the theatre last night. A card
on his back says; Another highway
man has merited his reward, and was
hung by the vigilance committee "

The IRISH FORCE BILL.-The first
instance of the enforcement of the Irish
Force Bill occurred April 5, at Dun
dalk, where the magistrates ordered a
printer to suppress an edition of Far
mer's Almanac containing what they
called seditious language. The English
parliament has pending an Irish Land
bill. which is received with anything but
favor by the Irish, who claim that it
gives undue advantages to the landlords.
and as English legislation for the Irish
is generally in that direction, their
statement is probably true.

There are still left few democrats ia
some places who insist upon bringing
extra odium upon their party. At Cir
cleville, Ohio, and in California, they re-
fuse to register colored voters or to allow
them to vote under the fifteenth amend
ment which is now the organic law Of
the land. Most of them will live long
enough to be rebuked by their own par
ty, and to see how manifest it is that
they should have lived in past age.

The GREAT BIBLICAL Work OF THE
NINETEENTH CENTURY. There never
was a time when the human mind was
more active in its inquiry into the mean
ing and authority of the Bible; and
there never was time when greater help
was given to the intelligent student
Take DIR. Smiths Dictionary of the
Bible" for instance. Here is book,
which no one man could have prepared,
but which embodies the labors of up
wards OF one hundred of the first Bibli-
cal scholars in the world 1t is the high
water mark of Christian scholarship
The English edition was no sooner COM
pleted than Hurd & Houghton, New
York Publishers, took it, placed it in the
hands of Professor Fl. B. Hackett, per-
baps now the foremost biblical scholar
in the country, and associated with him
DR.. Ezra Abbot, Of Harvard University,
who has microscopic eye for errors of
every kind. These, assisted by more
than twenty eminent divines and sehol-
ars in America, have produced an edi-
ton which must rank as better than the
best, for it contains all that was in the
great English Edition, with maps and
engravings, and has important matter
added to it. 1t must be many years be.
fore we shall see any book that begins to
compete with this for completeness and
thoroughness. No one who studies the
bible can afford to be without it. 1t is
