directing Letters.

1 The proper way Of directing letters
I is now a mOoted question. II has
been recently suggested that the order
of directing should be reversed; that
the name Of the State should be writ
ten first, as that is the item looked at
by the post Office clerks; then should
follow the city, post office address, or
place of residencel, then the number
and street IF the residence be in a
city,, and last of all the name of the
person the letter, paper or package is
intended for. This, it is said classi-
fies the direction in the order which
the post Office attends to it. We shall
wait until we hear from the general
post office on the subject before advis-
ing the public to adopt the suggestion;
although we are disposed to believe
that it would be an inn trovement.-
Mansfield Herald.
One of our business men in Urbana
always directs his letters in the style
above indicated, believing it to be the
better way. But it will take a long
while to effect such radical change
in the manner of directing letters.
The Columbus journal recommends
the old plan, giving the name of the
person addressed, town, county and
State, the whole to occupy the lower
half of the envelope, leaving room
for the stamp on the upper right corn
er, and adds: The envelope should
be dampened when the stamp is pat
on. l. is said the stamps have poison
in the coloring matter, and we can
not help hoping it is 50, every time
we see q man licking at a stamp like
a calf at 4 salt barrel"

AFight on a Train.

CINCINNATI. November Is S-This
afternoon two colored men, somewhat
intoxicated, got on the down passen-
ger train on the indianapolis, Cinciu-
natl and Lafayette railroad at Green's
burg, Ind. When the conductor,
John C. Smith, came around for tick
cts, one Of the men, Captain Scott oi
this city, manifested a disposition to
play with the conductor and to delay
matters by handing him a piece OF
paper. The patience of the conductor
gave out and he stopped the train and
put both the men off by force, though
it appears that the second party had
not participated in the delay, and at
ter the bell rang agreed according to
to the statement of q passenger, to
pay his fare. This so enTaged the Sec
ond man who was a barber from
Greensburg, that he drew a revolver
and discharged it twice at the ehnduc-
tor, one ball taking effect in his hip.
Finally, they were induced to come
on the train, and, manifesting a dis
position for further fight, the brake
man undertook to knock the barber
down. This failed, and the latter
discharged his pistol this time at the
brakeman, though without effect
The two were finally arrested and
sent back to Greensburg. The con-
ductOr was seriously, though not dam
gerously, wounded.

On the I'd of March, 1867, Congress
appropriated S., 900 for a gold medal,
to be presented to CYRUS w. FIELD,
upon the completion of the Atlantic
/ Cable. The medal was made of solid
gold, weighing some three or foul
pounds, eiaborately carved and noun
ted with gold. Secretary MCCULLoCH
who was Secretary of the Treasury,
received the medal from the mint,
and sent it to President JOHNSON by
his confidential secretary. The medal
was missed shortly after this, and on
inquiry being made, Mr.. J. stated that
he had returned it to the Treasury
Department. Nothing could be heard
of it at the Department, and 1t was
finally believed that the medal had
been stolen. Congress, therefore,
made another appropriation of 5000
for a duplicate, which was made, aud
presented to Mr.. FIELD about two
years ago. 1t now turns out that the
original medal was returned to the
Treasury Department by President
JOHNSON, after he had viewed it, and
the messenger gave it to Assistant
Treasurer FUTILE, who locked it up
in his private safe, and never heard
the charge that it had been stolen, or
an appropriation made for new one.
The medal remained in his safe until
Saturday last, when FUTILE inquired
of General SPINNER why Mr. FIELD
didn't come for the medal. SPINNER
was greatly astonished, Of course, at
hearing all the facts in the case, and
will retain the medal until some dis
position oft is made BY Congress.

Dickens to the Blind.

We have not seen it mentioned in
the notices of the late Charles Dickens
that in one of his visits to this cOun-
try he donated a sum of money to
have his 'Old Curiosity Shop" print
ed in raised letters for the blind for
gratuitous distribution. This benevo-
lent purpose has been executed, and
the books sent to the Blind Asylums
of the country. At the Ohio Institu-
ton for the Blind are two copies OF
this work, each in three large volumes,
and are read by the pupils with great
pleasure. This is one more fact that
testifies to the kindly sympathy and
deep seated charity of Dickens that
make his works the voice that speaks
to the innermost souls of men.-CO-

OF the new war in Europe, tn,
Cleveland Herald says The wa
cloud in Eastern Europe is gradually
disappearing. Russia does not wan
war, but is determined on its point
Turkey cannot fight alone, and has a
weak cause as well as a weak arml-
ment, having been party to several
infsactions Of the treaty which Russia
wants to crack in just one place.
England busters but cannot afford to
fight alone; the Cabinet is divided on
the war question between bellicoser
anti-war, and non.committal factions
and public sentiment is similarly dis
cordsnt. Italy positively refuses to
have anything to do with the matter.
Austria is afraid to interfere, and the
other Great Powers cannot or will not
take part against Russia. There is
little danger now Of hostilities.
