Good for Them.

It is good thing for you young men to
be clicked about in the world" though soft
hearted parents may not think SO. All youths,
or if not all, certainly nineteen twentieth of
the sum total, enter life with a surplusage of
self-conceit. The sooner they are relieved of
it the better. If, in measuring themselves
with wiser and older men than themselves,
they discover that it is unwarranted. and get
rid of it gracefully. and of their own accord,
we'll and good; if not, it is desirable for their
own sakes, that it is knocked out of them
A boy who is sent to large school finds his
level. His will may have been paramount at
home, but school boys are democratic in their
ideas, and if arrogant, he is sure to DO
thrashed into recognition of the golden rule.
The world is great public school, and it
soon teaches new pupil his proper place. If
he has the attributes that belong to leader,
he will be installed in the position of Lead
er. If not destined to greatness, the next
best thing to which he can aspire is respecta-
bility: but emo man can either be truly great
or truly respectable who is vain, pompous,
and over-bearing" By the time the novice
has found his legitimate social status, be the
same high or low, the probability is that the
disagreeable traits of his character will be
softened down or WORD away. Most likely
the process of abrasion will be rough, but
when it is over, and he begins to see himself
as others see him, and not reflected in the mir
ror of sefconceit, he will be thankful that he
has run the gauntlet, and arrived, through
rough road, at self knowledge Upon tho
whole whatever loving mothers may think to
the contrary, it is a good thing for youths to
be knocked about in the world it makes

In regard to the communication of
Rev. Geo. Peter. which appears in our
columns, we would state that weare very
glad to receive the assurance which, he
gives us that we were mistaken in our
assertion made in the REPUBLICAN, of
last week, and wish most earnestly that
the press of that denomination had
been as prudent in the publication of
articles in regard to other denomina-
tions as we have been. They have Il
right to their sieWs; veto ours:
1t has,neither been our purpose to mis-
represent, OF offend any person because
of their religious opinions, but if their
papers open war upon our common
schools, we return the fire.
1t has ever been our pleasure to ex-
tend to our Catholic sneighbors the
same courtesy and respect that we ac-
cord to other denominations. And,
whenever Presbyterians, Methodist,

wards the common schools. they will
find our battery in line and our pow

Dear Friend and Neighbor: Ex-
cuse me if send you this caution.
For some time you have aroused the
animosity of the Catholic community
of this place, by your imprudence in
copying from other papers, ,-.and your
self writing articles, and publishing
them in your paper. which represent
their Church in an improper lish t to
the community at large. Only to say
a word about your assertions made in
your last number, (good that you said
at the conclusion thereof, "We shall
be very glad, if future events shall
prove that the above assertions and
fears are groundless'') Indeed they are
so! and hence false accusation against
Catholics. If indeed, you should moi
knoU better, and are anxious to know
the true reason. or the ''because," am
willing and ready to tell you; well un-
derstood in private, for ain no friend
of newspaper arangues.
In order to calm the animosity, you
might say in your next number that
you had been wrongly Informed on
the subject in question and hence the
"groundless assertions" &c. ~.z
Dear friend! let us observe more
prudence in our policy-this is what
beg. Yours truly, -5 st

At a meeting of the Upper sandusky

Feb. 26, a committee was appointed to
prepare an obituary expressive of the
sense efthe Department in honor of
their late comrade Mr.. W. Me-, DER

lows:
Mr.. Derbury was FOR a long time a
,sident OF Upper Sandusky and by
his gentle manner,and urbane deport-
ment gained the. regard and respect

sweat ofhis brow he went forth cheer
fully to the discharge 5f the peculiar
calling sMhieh, he. had chosen as the
pursuit in which he designed to accom-
plish the grand Object of eflife,.-In-ltis
labOrs he Was governed byga consien-
cious conviction of rendering ali etIuiv-
alent to his employer for the peruiem
received. and his engagements he en-
deavored to fulfill SO as to meet the ap-
probation ofthose for whom he worked.
He was young man of high moral
principles; and ifenot actual ell by the
higher olderof life flown from a con-
| nection with the church, lie @resembled
the precepts of the Divine Master in
"doing unto others as he would have
others do unto him" This line of con-
| duct did not fail to call around him a
troop of friends who looked upon him
as one in whom they could confide
without the fear of being betrayed. :
| Springing from this high sense of
right he was prompted to unite him
self with the Fire Departments of our
village: Without PROPERTY himself, he
was willing to lend himself to the work
of protecting the property of others
from the devouring flames. He was
prompt in responding to the fire alarm,
and when the insidiQus spark, was fan
ned into afiame, and the tongue Of fire
was tapping around threatening to
consume property, he was fearless in
the exposure of person in his efforts to
beat back the advancing confiagration
1-Rut his summons came, his robust
constitution began to- decay--disease
invaded his frame and by slow but
certain step advanced until the citadel
OF life was reached, and his young life
went out. Gone but not forgotten. He
still lives in the memory of bis brother
hfemen, and his name will linger in
the minds of those with whom lie was
wont to meet and in time of danger tC
