USELESS EXPENDITURES.

A bill is now before Congress TO divide
OHIO into. thEee Federal Judicial dis
trcts. The idea is 30 create u Federal
Court for Columbus. Any one at all fa-
miliar with the class of cases originating
in the United States Courts can see at a
glapce that u Federal Court for The mid
die counties of Ohio is q worse than use.
less expenditure Of public money, The
important cases arising in the Federal
Courts are in the counties bordering on
the Lake and the Ohio river, Tbe Cen
tral District can include but very un-
important section OF the upper Ohio and
very limited section in extent, and all
there will be for adjudication in Cen
trail District will be now and lhen post
office depreciation, and--for time-a
few petty revenue stamp inGraGtiens.
For these Insignificant matters there will
be District Judge, and all the legal
parapherHalia OF Colrt, including
grand and petit Jurors, the expenses OF
which cannot be estimated, but which
will be out of proportion to the amount
Of business transacted. At the most all
that eau be required at Columbus would
be now and then session of the District
Court, the machinery fon which can be
put on the rail and transported from
Cincinnati--as is done now in this Dis
trict to accommodate Toledo. +.
In these days of correction Of abuses
Congress should not be guilty. Of squan
dering the public funds by worse thar
useless act, dividing Ohio INTO three Fed
eral districts.

MILEAoE.->Now that Congress has
abolished the tranking privilege, it pro-
poses in bill reeestly brought in by the
Judiciary Committee 10 abolish the twin
evil of mileage. 1t has been discovered, +,
among other things. that many mcmbers
who are receiving from 81 900 to $1,000
more for nileaGe than those whose homes
are nearer tire Uarilst frequently do not
expcnd any more money to reach Wash
ipgton, as they all travel on, passes. 1t
is proposed, therefore, to pay actual ex7
pcnses instead OF sileage. Such plan
we cannot but think would be subject to
abuse. AS it is probable that there will
soon be demand for an ex,ravagant al
lowanoe, in place of the franking privi-
lege which has been taken away, the
simplest and best plan would be to fix
the salaries Of COngressmen at a rate
which shall include and exclude all al
lowances. vhis would be the cheapest
and safest for the country in the end.

OBITUARY.

On Sunday, the Tth inst, Deacon Charles Sears attended the accustomed service in the Congregational Church, of which he was the most active member. His health had been failing for about two years past, but on this day there was nothing to show that his end was nearer than at any time during that period. At the close of the service he requested the Vice Superintendent to take charge of Ihe Sabbath School, as he was called to at- tend a funeral at about six miles distance. As he left the church to go to his board ing house for his overcoat. some thought that he seemed to have slight difficulty in breathing, but he speedily returned to the church and got into buggy with his two nieces, to drive to the funeral. He proposed taking the reins, but one of the young ladies preferred driving herself When opposite the house of Doctor Rob- ert Smith, Mr. Sears fell back ,insensible; his hat rolling off, aud his breathing be- coming strange and loud. One of the young ladies sprang out, while the other drove on as fast as she could. At oppo- site the house of Mr. Richard Smith the loud breathing ceased. When they ar- rived at the house of his brother, Mr. Benjamin Sears, the sad discovery was made that Dea. Charles Sears was no longer ivinG Thus from the Church Militantsto the Church Triumphant, with out sunr-rIrIss, so", ---,----<---s-, passed ga good man and true.''
 In him, Sharon has lost most beloved inhabitant. It is not our intention to write a sketch of the life of Dea. Sears, but only 10 speak of some of the traits of character which so endeared him to the community, that upon the announcement of his sudden death, just at the close of thu Sunday School, there was a general burst of sobs and tears NIT. Sears was one of the most unselfsh of men. He never neglected an opportunity of doing good to the extent of his ability, "hoping for nothing agpm." His reputation for unswerving nonsty was most enyiable. While I successful business man he never wishex to gather riches for it's own sake; a,d while reserving to himself compe- tency, preferred giving liberally while yet living, to leaving a large property to be disposed of by will. As, when a young man, experiencing a severe reverse of for tune he curtailed his personal expenses to the lowest notch, while continuing to the full his donations to benevolent ob- jects; so, when he had abundant means he increased his gifts, while never in, dulging in personal luxuries or show. @i -
 The Church of Christ in this place has lost one of its most shining lights; the Sabbath School of the Congregational Church, it's belovediSuperintendent; the poor, self-sacriicing friend. The widow and fatherless, the suffering poor, or those struggling to win way in the world, ever found substantial help in him. We wish Deacon Sears could have known. what his modesty ever prevented him from knowing, how generally and deeply he was beloved.

 CHAMBERS ENcYcLoPEDA.-J. B. Lip pincott & Go. 10 Vol. Octave.
 The one essential to every library is Chambers Encyclopedia, which is in it. self complete hbrary-an Universal Die tionary of Knowledge. The possession of the treasure is a fortune within itself; and should the home afford no other books, these great, rich yolumes-ten in all would be sufficient to instruct an entire family. This work is the result of labor of an hundred years, and 1t would require more space than the limits of an article will allow to mention all the varied fea- lures 1t possesses. The general character of the Encyclopedia is indicated by its title; a dictionary of names and facts. engravings and maps with which the work abounds. j. 7s-i 1T@l io - 5
 It is expressly dictionary ill one al- phabet, as distinguished on the one hand from a collection of exhaustive treatises, and, on the other, from set of dictiona- ries of special branches of knowledge. Tn the greater number of articles are coplous references to other heads with which they stand in natural connections; and thus. while single fact is readily found, it's re- !.
 The encyclopedia is furnished to sub- scribers in numbers, and is handsomely bound in ten complete volumes, revised edition. and sold at rates that commend 1t to all who can estimate it's value, or rightly appreciate the years and years of endless toll and labor required to compile this mass of inflammation. The Lippin- cotts of Philadelphia are the publishers ot this splendid work, and not only the Christmas and New Year holidays, but all times and occasions, are fitting for the purchase of this collection. Like the family Bible and the Dictionary, the En- eyclopedia Is a necessity, and households possessing it are happier and richer be cause of it's presence. and wiser by far than can be estimated.--E1.
