OHIO.
Reunion of Ohio Regiments.

DAYTON, July 30.-The reunion of the
four veteran Ohio regiments at the
Soldiers Home to-day drew great
crowd from the surrounding country.
The city was full of people, and the
largest crowd ever on the Home grounds
was present to-day, making an animated
spectacle. Ex-Governor Allen was escort
eu to the Home by Il committee Of citi-
Zens. where he was welcomed with II
Governors salute from the battery, and
then introduced by Colonel Brown, Gov
ernor of the Home, to the people, by
whom he was warmly received. He spoke
some forty minutes, Il large
portion of his speech being patriotic
in tone, and much ofit ne devoted to the
war with Mexico, but the rebellion was
pretty neatly skipped, only athin aIlu-
sion WAS made to it. The Governor
was conducted about the Home which he
heartily culogized, dincd with the otfi-
GERS of the oath regiment and III TIM "v-
ening returned TO the city where he WAS
screnadcd. He responded briefly and
held a reception. The reunion Of the
volunteers was Il picnic, without speech
making or foolishncSS and was most
pleasant occasion. The general mprc>-
sion derived from the Governors speech
is, that he is not inSensible to the posi-
bilities of his being candidate for PrcSi-
dent. There was probably 10000 stran-
gers in the city to-day.

Cremation.

SAYS the Baltimore GG-c''': The Gre
matiGnists are getting to he in earnest.
Societies have been formed in England
and ON the continent, and contracts have
been made for SicmenS and other fur
na,r> for the purpose Of burning bodies
L. small heaps of grey ashes but thus far
We have not vet heard Of any deceased
cremationship undergoing the process. 1t
i, a curious revival of the old Roman
custom. with modern variationS-shaIl
we say, also with modern improve
mruts3 But the custom i rather a. vet
a suggestion than fact. \ friend Of the
late Lady Amhcrlcy SAYS that she would
rather have been burned than buried, be-
cause then her ashes could have been de-
posted in jcweled urn. There is surely
something of a woman vanity in this.
In New York there is a German crema-
tion society. 1t proposes to build q hall
sixty by forty-four feet. 1t is to be
lighted from dome supported 10y pillars
On the floor. in the centre Of the rotun-

Citixen's Meeting I'm Hehalf Of the
Iron Interests.
From the Charleston Courier.


On Saturday evening the largest meet
ing held in the iron interests assembled
in the Opera House. Col. T. B. Swand
being called upon, spoke at length,
urging upon all the advantages Of fprompt
attention TO these interests and made an
effective speech. Captain John Swami,
in an effective speech full Of facts and
figures, appealed to the citizens to come
forward and make up the deficit. Mr.. j.
B, Walker gave a full statement OF
the nature, size and capacity Of the
works. Some ether gentlemen spoke
briefly TO the meeting, but as the people
had gone there 10 act and not hear long
speeches, there was none of the latter.
In few minutes some $500 WAS sub
scribed in money. The greatest hsr-
monv and enthusiasm prevailed, and
some of our citizens did nobly, and
whether rich or poor acted we'll their
part. ,
Ifmanv of our neutrality-suspicious. had
not remained away and idly expected
Others to come forward and subscribe,
the full deficit would have been made
up. We can put our hnger upon plenty
OF men whose large property will be,
perhaps, more benefited than any
Others who. stay away from these
meetings and avoid giving aid by
making subscriptions which many
poorer men double. 1t is just
such an element that will chill and
smother every great enterprise such rs
this. The laboring classes have done
we'll and many of the wealthiest men
have cqualled them in pro rata contribu-
tions, but many of the latter have done
little or nothing This is a well recog-
nized fact and We trust this hint may in-
duce them TO act for themselves and the
community at once. The meeting adj
iourned to meet at the Court house on
Saturday evening.

Sheriff Thomas. of Berkeley county,
W. Va on Tuesday received official
notice Of the granting Of a writ Of super

today for the attempted rape and murder
the little white girl Annie Butler, in
August last. and as the Sheriff had not up
to Tuesday received any official notice Of
the Supreme Courts action, he Wa: max
ing every necessary preparation for the

The press Of Martinsburg and the pco-

over the action Of the Court of Appeals
There ere none who have the least doubt
of the prisoners guilt, and they censurt
the Court for staying the execution on
merely fimsy and technical points.
