STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION.

The steamer W. R. Arthur, from
New Orleans to Louisville exploded
her boiler fourteen miles above
Memphis at half past one O'Clock
Saturday morning, tearing away the
forward part of the cabin and texas.
She then took fire and burned till
her bow sunk. After the explosion
most of the passengers rushed to
the lower deck, and many in the con-
fusion jumped into the river and were
drowned.
About five o'clock in the morn
ing Captain Dabeke Of the tug Re
port heard man halloaing out in
the river. He took skiff and went
out and took him off a cotton
bale. He was one of the survivors
and told of the accident. Steam
was raised on the tugs Little Grant
and Report, and the ferry boat Ex-
celsior, all of which went to the
scene, picking up several on cotton
bales and planks on the way. They
took all that conld be found to the
city, most of whom were half chill
ed and large number badly hurt.

THE LATE STORM.

The storm of Monday of last
week appears to have been the most
destructive of the winter and in
some parts of the country is the
severest known for many years. 1t
seems to have expended its force
upon the belt of country lying be-
tween the forty-first and forty-sec-
ond parallels of north latitude. Its
course through the country was ac-
curately indicated by the telegraph
In keeping across the continent il
destroyed buildings, killed cattle,
and bore down about one thousand
miles of telegraph. The damages
are estimated at from $4,000, 900, to
$5,0O0,OOO.

In the Senate House bill, to ex-
plain the 26th section of the act to
reduce the internal taxes, passed
July IA, 1870, was passed, with sun
dry amendments to remove ambi-
guilty. Its effect is to allow mer-
chandlse in port, and not entered
December 31st, 1870, to be admitted
under the old tariff. The majority
Of the Finance Committee reported
unfavorably on Mr.. Morton's bill
to reimburse the States in the mat
ter Of war loans. The minority re-
ported for the payment of interest
to the States at the rate of six per
cent. A joint resolution was passed
appropriating money to pay the ex-
penses of the investigation into the
Southern outrages. Adjourned.
House report of Committee on
Elections that F. Z. Shober, the

The credential of S. A. Corcker,
from the Filth District of Ga, were
presented. A Conference Commit

truth of certain statements made,

pose of copying them. A letter
from Secretary Fish was read deny

THE eoVERNoRsHIP.

In political circles the question Of
nominees for the Office of Governor
of Ohio is beginning to receive some
attention. In the event of Gov
Hayes declininga a denomination, we
find the following gentlemen named
for that Office, all of which are well
qualified for the office. Whoever
receives the nomination on the Re
publican ticket is very sure to be
the next Governor: Gems. Beatty,
of Morrow, and Garfield, of Portage,
who are understood to refuse, as
they prefer to stay in Congress-
Hon. NJ. Welker, of Wayne county,
Judge Stanley Matthews, of Cincin-
natl, Hon. Samuel Galloway, of Co.
lumbus, Gen. Buckland, of Fremont,
and Lieut.. Gov. Lee, of Ohio, are
also named.

THE DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS

la Are trying to work up an excite

his refusal to order an election to
supply the vacancy in Congress oc-
casioned by the resignation of Gen.
Schenck. The expense of the cleo
ton would necessarily be consider,
able, and the mileage the new mem
ber quite an item. Yet all the service
which he could render in this Con
gress would not exceed two weeks.

as the tax payers of the State will
probably perceive. The Governor

SUDDEN DEATH OF A LEGISLATOR.

On Friday afternoon of last week
Hon. G. j. Young, Representative
from Columbiana Co., who has been
in feeble health, was walking into
the State House after dinner, in
company with Representative Adair,
when he was suddenly seized with
a frightful hemorrhage of the lungs.
He was carried into the Comptroll-
er's office and died in a few minutes.
The deceased was once Military
Secretary to Gov. Todd. Probate
Judge of Columbiana Co. At the
time of his death, ,and for some years
previous, he was editor of the Buck
eye State, at New Lisbon. He was
a member of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church.
The Senate and House convened
early on Saturday morning, and ad-
journed until Tuesday. After a
brief session, IN which no business
of importance was transacted ex-
cept the adoption of the resolutions
suggested by the death of Col. G..
j. Young. The remains of the de-
ceased, after lying in State in the
Governors office until ten O'Clock,
were escorted to the depot by both
branches of the Legislature, State
officers and Members of the Board of
Equalization. At eleven o'clock,
the committee previously designated
by the two Houses, took the train to
Crestline, accompanying the remains
to his late home in New Lisbon.
The hall of the House has been
heavily draped in mourning. The
fronts of the galleries are heavily
festooned with black, the fabric hav-
ing been preserved from the time of
the obsequies to President Lincoln.
No business was transacted by the
Board of Equalization, which met
at the usual hour, and adjourned to
attend the remains to the train.

to the people. The scenes in the
streets are beyond description.
The news of the capitulation GER
tainly creates in the public mind
here charitable feeling, and there
is a strong desire to act generously
toward the fallen foe.
LONDON, Jan. 80.
The Emperor William has sent
the following dispatch to Empress
Augusta:
VERSAILLES, Jan. 29-2 P. M.
Last night an armistice for three
weeks was signed. Regulars and
Mobiles are to remain in PARIS as
prisoners of war. The National
Guard will undertake the mainte-
nance of order. We occupy all the
forts. Paris remains invested, but
will be allowed to revictual. As
soon as the arms are surrendered the
National Assembly is to be sum-
moned, to meet at Bordeaux in 8
fortnight. All the armies in the
field will retain their respective po-
sitions; ground between the oppos-
ing lines will be neutral. This is
the reward of patriotism, heroism
and great sacrifices. Thank God
for this fresh mercy. May peace
soon follow. WILHELM.
LONDON, Jan. &c.
A dispatch has been received at the
British Foreign Office confirming in
full the previous reports of the ca
pitulation of Paris, to which it adds
that there is one division of the
troops of the line, besides the Ma
tional Guards, that will not be re-
quired to disarm, and communi-
cation with Paris is Professionally
restricted. There is no prospect
now that Favre will come to London,
and no other person has been sac-
credited to represent France at the
conference.

COMMUNICATION.
WOOSTER. O. Jan. 25. 1871.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-The enjoy
ments in which we participate, when
surrounded by the endearments of
home, are infinitely more pleasur-
able than those we enjoy while dis
tant from those we love. There
seems to be kind Of a holy mist
thrown around the home scenes,
which, when they have passed among
the things Of the past, renders them
purer again to us when memory re-
calls them.
1t is seldom our city is presented
with a rich intellectual treat-I don't
wish you to understand by that, that
we have no public entertainments
we have far more than a reasonable
mind could desire of shows, circus
es, dances, and such ike-but a
real good lecture is scarce article
here.
On Friday evening January oath,
DIR. Willis Lord delivered lecture
in Arcadome Hall for the benefit of
the ''Irving Literay Society of Woos-
ter University"
At the appointed hour, the Doctor
made his appearance on the stage,
and, announcing his theme-"The
Roman Empire at the Christian Era,"
began his lecture. 1t is probably
no more than justice to him to say
that he surpassed even himself on
this occasion. To say that I was
charmed would convey but a faint
idea of the manner in which 1 felt.
For more than an hour the audience
were entertained by one of the most
interesting and instructive lectures
ever delivered in Wooster. Again
we perused the forgotten classics
with him as he quoted time and
again their precepts and maxims,
heard the blind Homer sing his
sweetest strain, and was fired to life
by the famed eloquence of the
mighty voiced Cicero-perused
again the classic histories and saw
in imagination's view the mighty
Caesar contending with his barbara
an foes.
His history of the Roman religion
was at once interesting, and instruct
i've; and showed that he did not
come before the audience with an
extemporaneous performance. He
proved very conclusively that ma
tion which worships such gods as
they worshiped, and committed such
horrid practices, to appease and pro-
pitiate them must sooner or later be
blotted from existence.
Another thing I observed con-
cerning his lecture, that at no time
did he fail to present the merits of
the glorious religion of Christ. All
other affairs he made subservient to
this most important thing, that
there was Saviour for sinful man.
Owing to the length OF his lecture
and the coldness of the night, a
person would have supposed, that
the people would have become rest
less, but 1 am happy to say that
more attentive audience could not
be found than that which he adj
dressed.
Thinking letter to you from this
place may not prove uninteresting,
l have written a short account of
our lecture which 1 can say was ap-
preciated by. all.
/. Yours Truly,
WINNIE B. HEYwooD.

THE DAWN OF PEACE.

Although no treaty of peace has
yet been signed, nor even terms
agreed upon, yet virtually the war
is at an end. Paris has capitnlated, l,
and an armistice for three weeks,
has been signed, extending to all
the forces onland and sea; the Ma
tional Assembly to be convened
within two weeks, that responsible
government may be formed with
power to conclude treaty of peace.
This is therefore an actual, though
not formal, end of the war. By the
terms of surrender the forts sur
rounding Paris are to be delivered
into the hands of the Germans, who
are not to enter Paris during the
term of armistice which ends 29th
inst. As soon as the arms have been
surrendered, the railways leading
into Paris are to be put in running
order, for the supply Of the city with
daily provisions.
The dispatches Of Tuesday bring
nothing new of consequence con.
cerning the armistice, and give nc
indication of the condition of affairs
inside of Paris. -..--
From Bordeaux we get, as might
have been expected, mastering on
paper of the armies yet left tt
France, and the threat of what will
be done when the armistice expires
the only fit comment on which il
H'bosh.' A later dispatch say'
Gambetta has ratified the capitula
ton, and q still later report say
Gambetta has committed suicide
The last report, though not confirm
ed, is not at all unlikely, nor wonl'
it be strange if considerable throat
cutting was indulged in by tn
French leaders who staked their al
on desperate cause and lost.
The remnant of BourbakTs arm,
is reported to have crossed int
Switzerland near Bruntrut.

EFFECT OF THE cAPITULATIoN.

The effect of the news of the capt.
ulation of Paris was sensibly felt in
the leading markets of the country
for breadstuffs, the prices of -four
and wheat advancing quite material
". Provisions also have stronger
tone, though the effect of the news
had been more largely anticipated
in provisions than in breadstuffs.
Shippers are looking for a largely
increased demand from France and
Germany for all articles that go to
sustain life.
