THE Hamilton Democrat says: Gust
seven years ago last Wednesday night,
May 4th, 1870, Mr.. Vallandigham was
dragged from his home by the soldiers of
a military despot, and exiled from his ma
tive land for defending the liberties of his
country The seventh anniversary Of that
notable and shameful event finds Mr..
Vallandigham, with his political principles,
his morality, and his love for his country,
humanity and human liberty unchanged,
pleading the cause of the bible in strains
that burst from his great soul in one con-
tinued stream of sublime and lofty elo-
quence, in the NJ E church in the city OF
Hamilton, listened to with enrapt atten-
ton by many who once shouted in the
ruling madness of the hour, away with
him away with himP

LoraIn Woman SIarderea.

On the oath of November, 1868, we
published letter written by John w.
Powers, of Colorado, giving an account OF
the capture, by the Indians, of Mrs. Blynn
and her little boy, 8 years old, formerly
residents of this county We have Just
received letter from Miss Martha Smith,
now in Colorado, to her brother in Shelf
field, giving the intelligence of the sad
fate of Mrs. Blynn and her boy. Her
body was found near piece of woods on
the Plains, with two bullet holes in her
head, and her child was found near by,
with its head split open with tomahawk.
Some biscuit which she had made, were
found with her body, which shows that
she had planned and attempted an escape,
but was shot down by the merciless sava=
ges. What horrors she had endured be-
fore her life was taken, is known only to

Jacob Kimlen, an honest looking Ger
man, keeps a lager beer saloon in the little
town of Akron, Ohio, and is well to do in
the way of worldly goods. Jacob is a
married man, in fact he is about as much
married as any man of his size that ever
came under our notice. His gentle frau,
Amelia Katrina, is forty, anything but
fair, ana tremendously fat. In point of
heft, she leads Jake three to one. Jacob
also has two children, girl and boy, aged
respectively ten and seven years. Jacob
also had bar keeper in his employ, Gus
! tave Featherly, frolicking soldier, about
thirty years Of age, who has travelled all
over the world. Until recently everything
went smoothly in Jacobs household. On
Monday last he left home on business, and
when he returned he found his wife, A
Katrina, his two children, bar keeper, and
all the household effects missing.
4 note from the erring wife informed
him that she had found her affinity in
Gustavc, and that they had fed together
The injured husband followed them to
Cincinnati, and learned that they had'ta-
ken passage on the steamer Kate Robin
