\ good book Is always welcome

tone and style, harmless in its morals and
still vague, empty, uninteresting, and I'M
instructive or if interesting in its stYle,
leading the reader on and on, vet adding
nothing after all to his store of knowl-
edge, valuable pastime only; land this

Of thereader.) But work ofsolid charac-
ter, suited TO the instruction and admin

rarely found. But the fortunate publish

cured such a work in this, which is re-
plete with important and interesting facts
concerning the chief arts and several in,

/ This work is the result OF the Joint la

writers and scientists, each of whom
I seems to have thoroughly adapted his
studies to his special subjects, and is in
the whole a rare product. 1t is the only
work of its kind with which we are ac

only one of the kind ever essayed in any
country, and reflects great credit upon III
enterpTising publishers, as well as upor

throughout the country. It not only sup
plies long felt want, but puts it within
the reach of all people of most moderat,
means as well as the wealthy, to enucl
their minds with useful as well as inter

A meeting OF the Republican Central Committee
OF this county was held at the office OF Amasa
johnson, Esq, in Plymouth, on Tuesday. Al
though not member of the body, we dropped in,
on the invitation OF the Chairman, 10 listen to what
might be said. The only important matter agreed
upon was that the county nominating convention
should be called to meet one week previous TO the
assembling ofthe congressional convention, which, il
was thought would be about the last Of May. The
editor OF the only paper IN the county ''in full &C
and invited to attend, was moi present.-Bour5os

The Editor Of the REPUBLICAN was not present

Ominous Facts and Quer les
From a Citizen.

One more whisky fight this week, adj
ded to one more whisky death of last
week. The dead went to the recorded
diunkard's doom; the vanquished in the
fight went to Jail; the conqueror who
The Jail bird says, the keeper of the
whisky den, 'squealed." This also
smacks Of violated law, as plainly as open
saloons on Sunday nights.
One more place of respectable business
tina. Of Millinery, has yielded to the on
ward march and demand of whisky and
lager beer, for most prominent business
points.
This also adds to the unenviable repu
tation of Plymouth, in point of morals
and legitimate business.
Let few more come on, and murder
will be more frequent as well as gam
bling, public days less peaceful, and con
science and right of those who sustain
and build up community proportionably
infringed upon. That is all. These
sinks of iniquity that are already a nuisance
to respectable trade in some places of our
town, and stencil in the nostrils of more
people are daily getting more independent
of the better class of business and society
They must defy all law and order, and &c
unrebuked in their Sunday business ano
Sunday night orgies They fill up oul
sidewalks on public days with a drunken
crew, until the women cant pass along
the walks to trade.
These very men, Zone of them at least
says: Sunday is his best day."
Why on this and prominent days, d.
some of our public officers frequent these
places most freely, unless it be to lenc
their influence to them, and to disturbing
elements in an otherwise peaceful com
munity?
There is time coming when this mus
cease, or else decency and prosperity mus
yield to its power. Which way shall tn,
die be cast, my fellow citizens?

suIc1DE.-A ge4nan, named Fred. Rohrdance,
committed suicide last Tuesday afternoon. He was
q OF about IS years old and had been in very
poor health for several years, most of the time I'M
able to earn his own living. lie seems to have
tired of seeing his wife labor to support her hus-
band and two children, and deliberately concluded
TO hang himself. WITH this determination he Sc
cured short piece OF rope, and DUNG the temper
ary absence OF his family put an end to his exis-
tence. From appearances he hung himself on sew
eral hooks about the house but none OF them were
strong enough TO hold, he then suspended himself
by fastening the rope over the corner of door and
kicking a chair from under his feet. His family re-
turned home and found him entirely dead-Lapo, q

TIE Sen. Editor Of The Bourbon Mirror Is evi-
IDENTIFY dissatisfied about something. Things don't
go to suit him. Two or three weeks ago, he very
mildly insinuated that the REPUBLICAN did not
pitch into the Democrats enough to please him, and
more than that, the paper was not gotten up as il
should be. All OF which may have been intended
for kind advice about our affairs, for which we
should be thankful; but then it seemed to us out OF
place-untimely, oficious, ill-natured, and with q
design to iniure Us in our business.

We sometimes find very pleasing reading matter
in The Liberal Republican papers. The following
is from the Valparaiso Democratic Heisseager is
pretty fair specimen Of their Ii5eralag:
''If the Winamac Democrat means TO convey the
posey withheld from IT, say that its editor lies.
That is not our mode OF warfare II we have any
thing to say TO anybody-eyen to the editor Of the

do not think that the Wnamac editor has ever
hurt anybody for telling him that he is educated

aforesaid vender OF patent medicine and Vermifuge
in Pulaski county.

The poets have sung, and the
scientists have been puzzled, and
the New Jersey people have ex-
hausted their best-read savants upon
the mosquito question. But the
Minneapolis Tibune gives the ori-
gin Of the dear, darling little buzz,
ing insect in the following:
The Red River Indians have Il lc-
gend respecting the origin of mrs
quitoes. They say that once upon
a time there was famine, and the
Indians could get no game. Hun
dreds had died from hunger, and
desolation filled their country. All
kinds of offerings were made to the
Great Spirit without avail, till one
day two hunters came upon white
wolverine, a very rare animal.
Upon shooting the white wolverine,
an old woman sprang cut of the
skin, and, saying she was a "Mani-
to-" promised to go and live with
the Indians, promising them plenty
of game as long as they treated her
well, and gave her the first choice
of all the game that should be
brought in.
The two Indians assentcd to this,
and took the old woman with them
which event was Immediately
succeeded by an abundance Of game.
When the sharpness Of the famine
had passed, the Indians became
dainty in their appetites, and COM
planned of the manner in which the
old woman took to herself all the
choice bits; and this feeling became
so intense that, Notwithstanding her
warnings that if they violated their
promises n terrible calamity would
come upon the Indians, they one
day killed her as she seized upon
her share of fat reindeer which
the hunters had brought in.
Great CONSERVATION Immediately
struck the witnesses of the deed,
and the Indians, to escape the pre-
dicted calamity, boldly struck their
tents and moved away to q great
distance.
Time passed on without any cat
astrophc occurring, and the game
becoming even more plentiful, the
Indians again began to laugh at
their being deceived by the old
woman. Finally a hunting party on
long chase of reindeer, which had
led them back to the spot where
the old woman was killed, came up
on her skeleton, and one Of them, in
derision, kicked the skull with his
foot. In an instant a small spiral
like body arose from the eyes and
ears of the skull, which proved to
be insects. They attacked the
hunters with great fury, and drove
them to the river for protection.
The skull continued to pour out its
little stream, and the air became
full of avengers of the old woman's
death. The hunters returning to
camp found all the Indians suffer
ing terribly from tho plague. and
ever since that time the red men
have been punished by the mosqui-
toes for their wickcdness to their
prcserver, the Manito.

One Of the Relics OF the First Rush
to San Francisco.

A relic of the first gold excite
ment in California has just been
brought to light by the removal of
the old Mantle Hotel in San Fran
cisco, and is none other than the
hull of the ship Mantle, one of the
first ships that arrived in that port
after the discovery of gold. She
was fitted out in New York for u
whaling voyage, and was command
ed by Capt. II. Cleveland, of Mar
tha's Vineyard. After a few weeks
at Rhode Island, where all her whal-
ing apparatus was put on board, the
Mantle set sail. On her yovage
she touched at Paita, above Callao,
and there learned of the discovery
of gold in California. Capt. Cleve
land was informed that thousands of
eager adventurers were waiting
feverishly at Panama for some means
of transportation to the gold fields.
This appeared better than whaling.
Casks, boats and all surplus freight
were put ashore, and the Mantle
stecred for Panama. Her arrival
was hailed with joy by the gold
seekers. They poured on board in
hundreds. No price was deemed
too high for passage to the new
Ell Dorado. Capt. Cleveland slowed
away as many as his vessel would
hold, and forwarded $45, 900 in gold
coin to her owners, the amount of
the passage money collected. The
cost of the Mantle was about $780,
600. This was paying for herself
with interest, and besides, exceeded
the entire expense of her whaling
outfit. On her arrival at San Fran
cisco, not only were the Panama
passengers put ashore, but all the
crew, as a matter Of course, de-
serted for the diggings. Nor could
money procure a handful Of men
sufficient to work her home; so like
many other ships, the Mantle be-
came u permanent fixture. Capt.
Cleveland, therefore, sold her to Il
man who used her as storehousc.
Houses were erected OH the deck,
and lodgings let at rates that go far
bcyond the tariff of our first-class
hotels to-day, and many a weary
miner, sad and disappointed from
the months of unsuccessful labor.
has laid down to rest in the shelter
of the timbers Of this old ship.
