\ correspondent of the Ohio ,Statt
Journal, writing from Cambridge. after
giving an account of the town, public
buildings, newspapers, crops, etc., says
"The political aspect in this district
is bright for Bingham. Every Republi.
can that have met is strongly in favor
of his denomination"
This correspondent evidently did not
extend his travels in the direction Of
Belmont County. Here Bingham is
counted out of the contest, and every.
body is opposed TO his denomination
If he succeeds at the Cambridge Con.
vention, it will utterly demoralize the
Republican party in this county,

A Parisian steamer Attacked by a Hip.
popotamus.
A number of our brave friends, the
modern Gauls, were terribly frightened
on the 9Th of July. The incident is told
by correspondent of the London Dails
NeaUs:
1.-THE novel sight of hippopotamus
swimming about in the Seine was wit.
messed yesterday with almost as much
alarm as wonder by hundreds of people
on the river, in the neighborhood of the
Pont d'Austerlitz. The drought has SC
reduced the water supply in the cisterns
of the Jardin des Plantes that for some
days past the hippopotamus has moi
been able to take his bath in the gar
dens. His keepers take him on a low
wagon drawn by two horses to the bank
of the Seine, and let him go into the
river as far as the length of strong
iron chain attached to his neck will al
low. The hippopotamus grew so strong
upon his healthy swimming that yester
Gay he broke his chain, struck out, goi
into the middle of the stream, and pro
duced a tremendous panic among the
boats, which his whale-like hulk threat
ened to upset. In his frolic he lifted hi:
nose to the height of the paddle-box o.
a steamer and set all the passengers
screaming. His approach cleared in 6
jiffsy washerwoman's barge and tht
Austerlitz bathing establishment. Hal
hundred small boats went in pursuit.
of him. Several keepers succeeded il
getting on his back, but he got rid o
them by plunnging. After long anC
exciting hunt one of the keepers go
hole of link of the broken chain which
remained attached to his neck, slipped
a strong rope throughit, and then go
sufficient assistanceto haul HIN ashore.

PARTING WORD.

With last weeks issue my connection
with the CHRONICLE as editor, publish
er and proprietor ceased. have labored
earnestly during the past nine and hall
years to make it paper worthy of the
Support of the Republican party, and
the liberal patronage received is evidence
that my efforts have been appreciated.
There are many things connected with
editorial life that are pleasant and it is
with no small degree of reluctance that
1 relinquish the enjoyment of these
pleasures, but there are also many annoy
ances and perplexities to be encounter
ed by the editor who will fearlessly dc
his duty in exposing evils and denoun'
cling the perpetrators of wrong, so that
to sensitive mind the position of ed
itor is very far from being one of un-
mixed pleasure. In the course have
pursued in relation to politics, morals
and temperance, am conscious have
had the confidence and support of all
the better men of the party, and these
are the men whose good will I have
been ambitious to secure and retain.
For two years past have been de-
sirous to sell but have never had oppor.
tunity to place the paper in the hands
OF the kind of men / was willing
should be my successors until the pres
ent opportunity, and / am of the opin-
ion that the patrons of the CHRONICLE
will realize that Messrs Wilkinson and
Nichols, who have taken charge of it,
are fully competent, and will give gen.
eral satisfaction to its many patrons and
friends. I commend them to the liberal
patronage of the people.

THE PRUSSIANs REPULSED AT CARDING.

patch has been received from Paris;

THE DEFINITION OF PAPAL INFALLI-
BILITY-THE CATHOLIC TELEGRAPH
PREPARING TO FLOP.
From the Catholic Telegraph, July 81.
If we can trust the Atlantic cable,
which has been for months the great
medium of falsehoods concerning the
Vatican Council, the discussion Of the
dogma of Papal infallibility closed on
the 14th, and a vote on the definition
was taken. From the same unreliable
authority we learn that the advocates of
the definition had majority of three
hundred. If the result be as the tele-
grams announce, we shall soon receive
the official promulgation of Papal In
fallibility as an article of faith by the
voice of the Head of tn Church-the
successor of st. Peter. When.the Holy
Ghost has thus spoken by the lips Of
the sovereign, Pontiff, proclaiming the
law of faith with the same unerring
truth as God upon Sinai, the faithful,
bishops, priests, and laity, will hear and
believe, and receive his words, as they
90 forth to the extremes of the earth,
withithat free and full acceptance which
will remove from their mindsall shadow
of doubt forevermore. This is the
victory which overcometh the world. A
victory which none but the members OF
Gods Church can understandable
victory of Catholic faith.
They who have conscientiously oppos-
ed the definition for many divers reasons

4 HORRIBLE MISTAKE. The Syracuse

4 HORRIBLE MISTAKE. -The Syracuse
Courier relates the following strange story:
The particulars Of I sad case OF mistaken
identity come from Skaneateles. A short
time since the wife of wealthy man died near
Shepherd S Station, and was inferred in the
public cemetery Then followed the death Of
a woman Of questionable character, whose re-
mains were also laid away in the same cemetery
By kind hands. They did not pay particular
attertlon as to the place where the tainted one
should lie. 1t happened that she was buried
near the wife of Dives" Again the angel
OF death visited the rich mans dwelling. a
daughter was stricken down. She was buried
beside her mother, as the father supposed.
hesdstones had been raised over the graves of
fallen sister did not design TO mark her grave
out, but we're willing her name should be for
gotten.
After the last funeral had taken place the
father began to question in his own mind
whether or NOT his daughter had been buried
IN the proper place beside her mother. Tie
examined the locality carefully, and came to
the conclusion that the woman OF questionable
reputation slept between his loved ones The
matter preyed upon his mind. Considerable
time had elapsed, so that there was no oppol-
tunlty OF ascertaiulng, by reference to the
bodies, whether or not such an error had been
made. The father finally took spade, and
proceeding to the buryipg ground, avowed his
determination Of digging up the body OF the
woman Of bad character. He did so, and threw
both body and coffin outside the burying
ground The ueighborS were incenSed at this
action, and gathered about the remains the
next day. One OF them happened to pick up
the plate of the coffin, which was so covered
with rust that the letters were quite unntclll--
gible Diligently he scraped the plate, and
finally he was able to distinctly make out the
name thereon, and behold the husband had dug
mp and scattered to the winds the remains OF
his own vile.
Gen. Butler, as chairman Of the Board Of
Directors Of the National Asylum for DISABLED
Soldiers and Sailors. some time SIEGE claimed
for that institution the bounty due to soldiers
who had deSirted during the war and forfeited
the same, amounting to about four millions OF
dollars. The Treasury officials declined to turn
over the money to the asylum on the ground
that the bounty was not due u the soldier un-
til his term of service had Expired. Gen. But
Ter held that it was due upon entering the ser.
vice. The matter was referred to the Attorney
General, who has decided that the bounty is
not due until the expiration of the term OF
service. hence 10 it cannot be turned over to
the Asylum.
