ORIGIN OF "APRIL Fool"

ORIGIN oE "APRIL Fool"
If credit may be reposed in
the Public Advertiser for April
18th, 17G9, the wrinkle"
sprung from Hebrew root
"It is said to have begun" says
the print in question, "from the
mistake of Noah sending the
dove..out Of the Ark before the
water had abated, on the first
day Of the month, among the
Hebrews, which answers to our
first of April. TO perpetuate
the memory of this deliverance,
it was thought proper, whoever
forgot so remarkable n circum-
stance, to punish them by send
ing them on some sleeveless er-
rand, similar to that Intellectual
message upon which the bird
was sent by the Patriarch"

THE BUTLER COUNTY TREAS
URY lMBR0GLI0.
Prosecutions Against the Parties
who Debauched the Treasury.
Suit Entered Against the FIRST National Bank of
Hamilton for $67500,

The Board of Commissioners Of
Butler County yesterday commenc-
ed proccediugsin the Court of Com
mon Pleas against the First Nation
al Bank Of Hamilton for the recov-
cry of money illegally ATTAINED and
Illegally used, from the Treasury Of
Butler County. The suit is brought
to obtain money and interest upon
The same belonging to the county,
and used by the said while D. W.
Brant was Treasurer, and also du-
ring the time that Jno. G. Lindley
served as such Treasurer. This suit
has been brought after consultation
with some of the most eminent law
yers of Ohio, who unhesitatingly de-
clare that the First National Bank
is legally bound, and the county can
undoubtedly recover. Judgment is
asked against said bank for the sum
of SG7, 500, with interest, although
it is quite likely judgment for n
much greater amountmay be found,
In the above amount is included the
25,500 which Treasury Lindley
onaned to the First National Bank,
and which they refused to pay.
According to the sworn state
ments Of the several officers Of this
bank during the recent examina-
ton, they have been banking upon
the public funds, and this will in
deed be a severe blow to them, and
one which will probably result
against them. This is but the be-
ginning of many suits hereafter to
be instituted. The prosecution is
conducted by the able and efficient
Prosecuting Attorney, John W
Wilson, Esq, assisted by Hons. O..
L. Vallandigham and D. A. Haynes,
Of the Dayton bar, and Millikin,
Hume, Vanderveer, Crane and Gil
moro, Of the bar of Hamilton.- Gin

St. L0lLiS RlidGe.

The bill introduced in the
House by Mr.. Cobuln, of Indi-
ana, relative to a bridge at ST.
Louis, provides that it shall be
lawful for the Alton and St.
Charles Bridge Company. to
construct and maintain a toll
bridge from any point in Madi-
son county to any point oppo'
site, on the Mississippi River,
in Missouri, and to place rail
way tracks on it for all rail
roads, and allow them to cross
the bridge for a reasonable com
pensation, to be paid to the
owners thereof, and in case of
any litigation arising from any
obstruction, OF alleged obstruc'
ton, to the navigation Of the
river, the cause may be tried
before the District Court Of
the United States, of any State
in which any portion of said
bridge is an obstruction. Any
bridge built under the provis-
ions of this act shall not be, in
any case, of less elevation than
fifty feet above extreme high
water.mark, as understood at
the point of location, to the
bottom cord of the bridge; nor
shall the spans be less than two
hundred and fifty feet in length
on the clear, and the piers of
said bridge shall not be paral-
lei with the current of the river,
and the main span shall be over
the main channel Of the river
at low water. The bridge is
to be a post-road of the United
States, and the right to alter or
amend this act, so as to prevent
or remove all material obstruc-
tions to the navigation Of the
river by the construction of
bridges is expressly reserved.

Not Wanted.

A few Radicals met in this
village last Tuesday night and
re-nominated the same old
Trustees. We do not know
why this was done. The peo-
Of the township have kept them
in that position long enough.
They want a change. Let us
elect other men. Let us elect
men who will not let q soldiers
widow with FIVE children suffer
for want of food, clothing, and
fuel, and who, while soldiers
widows are almost starving to
death, will not go about boast
ING Of their love for soldiers
widows, etc. We have been
informed by a number Of Re
publicans, since the holding of
the caucus that nominated the
old trustees, that they will not
vote for them, that they have
been trustees of Elk township
already long. A change they
want--a change they are deter
mined to make.

Democratic editors are very anX-
iousabout the negro vote, fearing
that they will vote with the Repub-
leans ChHlic0the Gazette,
There is not an editor, or any
other man, upon the face of the
earth that is so dreadfully worried
and alarmed about the negro vote
as the miscegenationist who edits
the Chillicothe Gazette. He takes
on terribly in every column Of his
paper about the vote-coaxing and
urging the negroes of Ross county
to vote against the Democrats. He
is worse alarmed about negro vo-
ting than even old wicked and in
sane Wendell Phillips. Some of
those lovely colored girls ought to
nurse the editor of the Gazette.

The importance of THIS Road as q new outlet
