SATURDAY, June II, 1871.
I saw Clement l.. Vallandigham die
at fifteen minutes to 10 this morning.
The event is so sad, so inexpressibly
distressing, that pause for utterance.
Yesterday, full Of lusty life, and heart
beating with high hope, he stood FORE

his wife far away, and his darling son

EXCESSIVE GaEeEEE.

On the afternoon of Friday, March
3lst,, in the city of Bridgeport, Conn,
there was funeral. A prominent citi-
zen, long connected with the Methodist
church there, was dead and on this day
his friends were called to assist in the
solemn ceremonies of consigning his re-
mains to the tomb. While the mourn
ers were standing about the coffin, look.
ing in upon the corpse, few feet there
from stood an old man, for a long time
engaged in a wagon mandatory III
that city, and who seemed to take the
death of his friend with more than usual
sadness and sorrow. Turning to a
friend, said he:
IL tell you, DR.. Rogers, God never
made another man like him. He was
the best man | ever saw. He was the
only neighbor | had, who would lend
me flour, potatoes, and such things,
without dunning me to bring them
back 1t is bad day for Bridgeport
when such men die. 1t makes me feel
awful. I've seen some of my own fam
lily go, but never had anything strike
me as this does. 1t seems to sit right
down on me and kink me all up-just
as | felt the night | heard New Hamp-
shire had gone democratic"

The day for the execution of Ruloh
is fixed on the 18th Of May--lcss than
a month hence yet the onl y concern he
manitests as his end approaches is lest
his book, a treatise on philology, should
not have Justice done to its merits when
he is gone. He has lately been CORES
ponding with Prot Seclye of Amherst,
OH this subject, and not long since was
visited by Prof Mather, Of the same
college, to whom he expressed the deep
feeling he had on this point. He de.
sired the Professor to test his knowledge
Of Greek, and in the conversation
showed a very remarkable familiarity
with the Greek authors, particularly
Nenophon and Homer, seeming TO know
by heart nearly all of Xenophon's Mem
orabilia in the original. He is certain,
ly one of the most extraordinary instan
ces on record Of great scholastic attain
ments, combined with u life of low and
desperate criminality. There is no
chance that his sentence will be repriev
ed or extended and every indication that
his present temper of mind will continue
till death.

FREENIASONRY AND ITS INFLU-

The institution of Freemasonry is un-
derstood by the institute. if not also be-
ieved by the profane. to have an absolute
tendency to inculcate everything lauda-
BILE and useful to society and its leading
qualities are, well directed Philanthropy,
pure Morality, inviolable Secrecy, and a
taste for the Fine Arts.
1t may be observed that Solon Lycur-
gus Numa, and all the other political leg
islators have not been able to render their

themselves over all countries, and to all

Government is founded, viz: to the State
governments, tho enforcement of local
laws; to the General Government tho
management of all matters of general
public concern-the definition and de-
tense of the rights of the American citi-
zen.
In the near future, have no doubt but
that others steps will be taken in the same
direction.
We want to be guaranteed permanent
ly O uniform currency. Never can the
American people be brought to look with
complacency upon the idea OF such u
financial system as obtained before the
war, when every corner grocery was q
bank of issue.
We want uniform system Of educa-
ton. Too much depends upon the intel
hgence of the people to permit this great
interest to longer lay at the mercy Of is
norant and prejudiced State Legislatures.
The rebellion could not have been raised
had the people of the Sonth been an edu-
Gated people, and the South will never
be fully subdued until education is as
valued there as at the North.
We need o uniform criminal law. To-
day, that is crime in some States which
is not recognized in others. In the his
tory of our State there is o case where q
reverend minister of the Gospel, Mahan
by name, was demanded by the Executive
Of Kentucky on charge of slaye-stealing,
a crime entirely unknown to the laws of
Ohio. A bend Of pirates may get posses

We hold, finally, that the General Gov

"0UR STORY TELLER"
FONTROY'S ADVENTURE
BY MORRIS REDwING.

William fOntrOy, young man OF
standing and promise, was employed by
the firm of Horton, Karnes & Co. to do
business for them up and down the NJ
river. His business consisted principally
in visiting their various wants, etc, and
reporting the same to the firm, In the
spring, when time for breaking up camp
came, he usually carried the money to
the various contractors, to be used in
paying off tho men.
A few years ago, chance threw me in
company with Fontroy, and from his lips
heard the following story:
"Early in the spring of 1S-," said the
narrator, u started for the upper logging
camp of Horton. Karnes 4 Co., with sew
eral thousands of tho company's money
in my pocket, but not more than 1 had
carried many times before. Therefore 1
felt no fear on that account. Most OF
my journey Jay through thinly settled
country, and for the purpose of security
1 always carried a revolver concealed in
the breast pocket of my coat.
"On the occasion I refer to, passed
the first twenty miles Of my Journey in
safety, nothing occurring to mar the pleas
ure Of my journey
Il rode the first third of the way in a
light cutter; but on reaching the first shan
ty found the ground quite bare and I
saw that the rest Of the sixty miles must
be pursued on horseback.
"At this first shanty, while counting
out the money to Mr.. Nicholson, the fore
man some one entered the room where
we were seated.
Il looked up and encountered the gaze
of tall, dark featured man, fixed intent
ly on me and the large roll of bank notes
was counting out.
There was an avaricious gleam in his
black serpent-like eyes, as they rested on
the money.
"The moment he noticed I had dis
covered his presence, he dropped his gaze
to the floor.
"Excuse me, gentlemen he said, in 6
low, smooth tone, I did not know YOU
were engaged. Mr.. Nicholson, came il
to see you, but as you are busy I will wai
until you are through and with polite
bow the fellow left the room.
"The money was counted, three thous
and dollars in all, and the foreman rolled
it up in his wallet. put the remainde,
back into my wallet.
"'You must be careful, Nicholson
said You've large crew of rough mer
around you, and, if they knew you hat
so much money, some of them might at
tempt to lay hands on it.
The foreman smiled.
"'Never fear he said. 4 would vii
Gngly trust any of my men with thi
money. They are all honest fellows, Mr.
Fontroy'
II shook my head incredulously.
"'Be not too sure said. Who wa.
that man who entered here only mo
ment ago? must confess that do no
like his looks

say anything against him

MY BOYHOOD'S LOVE.
Nv boyhoods love I see her still,
All radiant in her girlhood's prime.
And feel once more my pulses thrill
With joy as in the olden time.
Again I walk the village street,
The lights upon the lamp-post shine,
hear the coming of her feet,
And soon her arm is linked in mine.
Her hand I for moment press.
As DER the flags we slowly glide.
And then, one lingering caress,
She's promised to become my bride.
'Tis strange these scenes can seem 30 now,
So long she's slumbered with the dead;
But time seems brief al review
The moments which 80 quickly sped.
She passed away, my boyhood's pride,
With youths bright sunlight on her brow;
It seems but yesterday she died,
Though wide the space 'twixt then and now.
Perched on the pinnacle Of age,
look back through the misty years,
To read her ife's half-written page;
The blank l fill up with my tears.
For me these years have wrought decay;
Just look at these poor shrunkeu hands
These once brown locks are turned to gray
Spent nearly are life's flowing sands.
But though I'm ripening for the tomb,
With unclouded faith look above;
For there il all her youthful bloom,
Ishall meet again my boyhood' love.
