What's In q Name.-A few weeks since
we published an article from the pen of D..
CURTIUs, which we found in an exchange,
entitled "a Sketch Of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry and of Industry" supposing the
writer to be well versed in both orders, at
least as well as the Solons, or scions, of
the order hereabout. But it seems tn at We
were mistaken, as the longwinded effusion
that appeared in the Granger week befo,e
last would indicate. To show that there
we're Others that knew thing or two about
the " Patrons OF Husbandry" and Patrons
OF Industry" the effusion was headed "Ths
Journals Ignorance" "by a Granger"
The writer, or probably the editor who doc
tored it to suit his taste, had long read Of
the Order Of Sovercigns Of Industry" but
did not know anything about the Patrons
of Industry. Will he or they inform us
how long the {. Sovereigns" have been Or
ganized? But we only have time to notice
a point or two. The writer digresscs to
say: "If he is an editor or lawyer, Twill
not attempt to convince him, for have
driven mules before" Right here we would
inform him, or them, that generally no two
classes Of men are more easily convinced of
reasonable matters than lawyers and edit
ors; and one whose former occupation has
been that of driving mules had perhaps
as well continued to exercise his intelli-
gence in that direction, sthis article in the
Granger clearly illustrates.

Three Persons Burned to Death nj
Put-In-Ra

BY special telegram from Putin. Bay ia
the Sandusky Register we learn that n
most distressing casualty occurred on that
island Monday morning, Jan. 4th, result-
ing in the death Of two women and one
child. Shortly after FIVE o'clock the resi-
dsnee OF Milo Ruggles, about rs rods from
the Put-in-Bay House, was discovered bv
hr. huggles to be on fire. He was in bed
at the time and the smoke poured in his
room In such dense volumes that his only
escape from sufocation was in jumping
from the win1ow in his apartment In the
second story of the building to the ground
This he did, but received Injuries in conse.
! quence which will probably confine him To
his bed for several months. In the burning
building at the time we're his mother ala
ter and sisters child. At that stage of FIRE
when he threw himself from the window Il
would have been utterly impossible for him
70 have rendered any assistance to the helm
less women and child, and thinking. too.
that they had escaped, he sought only to
save himself. But, alas, they were not so
fortunate as he, although his present condi-
ZION Is not by any means desirable one !:
put he escaped with his life, and they were
suf1ocated in the dense smoke and were lit
orally roasted alive in the flames. His wife
had gone to spsnd the night with her moth
er on another part OF the island. and thus
fortunately escaped, il not terrible death,
certainly severe injury, as she would have
oeen compelled to jump from the window of
the house with her husband, if she escaped
at all, as that was the only way by which
e leave the building, which was all in
blsse below. The origin of the fire is un-
known. Two of the bodies have been recov-
ered-that OF the child and one woman, but
which one cannot be determined from the
iaef that the remains we're burned to crisp.
Inc house belonged to Captain Haggerty,
Of at' Louis, and is said to have been fully

Concert. Prof. III. H. CVRRIER has
been instructing Band at McComb, Han
cock county, for few weeks past, and on
New Years evening a concert was given by
the Band under his direction, which is spok-
en- of in very complimentary terms by cor
respondent to the Findlay Jefersonian, as
follows:
"The concert given by the Band under
Prof Currier on last Friday evening was
decided success, and we believe all felt that
their time and money had not been spent in
vain, and their Professor won for himself
and wife a reputation that will not be for
gotten by the people of McComb ami vicin-

bers of the Band that as an instructor, he is
all that could be desired. On Saturday ev-

How oft have these sad words been said.
What scalding tears have oft been shed,
What quivering lips and broken tones.
Have said Goodbye" to cherished ones,
Whose being here
On this cold sphere
Was linked by some mysterious spell
With ours; so strong that when the knell
VI death, their spirits forced TO 60;
That link, so strong, has riVen, toe,
Our own despair.
Our hearts has seized, and chilled our blood,
As we've viewed the intervening flood !,
But as one by one they're waited Ger,
Each carrying thread to the further shore,
They entwine our souls,
And erect us goals
On the further shore OF the chilling tide,
Where love and beauty forever bide;
They draw us across TO that shining shore
And all the fractured ties Of yore
Repair.

are thousands Of poor fanlilies-objects Of

more dogs, the cost Of which for year,

tax would relieve them of this burden, and

LAWYERS AND THE BIBLE.

Mr. EDIToR:-I notice in the last issue
OF the JOURNAL an article with the above
heading, by Frank" For the most par,
agree with that writer. wish he had spok-
en- more fully on one point. He says that
when a lawyer undertakes to defend q
criminal he does not promise to odeliyer him
out Of but into the hands of Justice" Now,
Mr.. Editor is not this novel idea? 1t
may be Biblical. But does not lawyer
feel bound to save his client from the pen.
atty of the law, however guilty he may be {?
The record of Criminal Courts would seem
to prove this. Lawyers have been accus-
toned to ransack heaven and earth to find
ways and means to set the prisoner free. 1t
is said OF certain distinguished lawyer of
Massachusetts that, after looking over the
case OF his client, who was n murderer, and
finding no meshes OF the law large enough
for him to crawl out of, he directed him to
crawl out Of the window. The account is
thus given: Fixing on point of time suf-
hcient to carry out his plan, Esq'r B. says to
the sheriff, want to talk with the prison.
er in private room by himself" "Very
well, says the sheriff, taking his place out
side at the door, and supposing it all right
within. The lawyer seating himself as If to
enter coolly upon weighty business, con-
fronted his client by saying "Have You
any money ?" "Yes stree" "How much?r
"A fifty dollar bill" "Let me see it ~
Takes the bill ont and deposits it in his
pocket. "Very WELL" says the lawyer.
pointing to the window, there's the window
help yoursell-that's all | can do for you. {"
Aftor waiting until the prisoner had escap-
ed he spprised the sheriff that the prisoner
had crawlcd out OF the window, and then
clolly took his seat in the Court room.
Pretty coon the Court says, Mr.. b. we are
ready for your case" "May it please the
Court | have no case" The Court in great
surprise, "Why? Where is the prisoner
whose casc stands next on the docket?" 81
don't know, your honor, the last | saw of
him he was crawling out of the window. "
The people could not have been much more
thun Ter struck had the angels translated
the prisoner to heaven in a chariot of fire, ]
for he was notorious murderer, and no
one except Esq'r b. supposed that there was
hole large enough under the whole heav-
ems for him to crawl out Of and save his
neck. To be sure this was remarkable
crawl. But this kind Of crawling is sovery
common nowadays, that, almost all Grim
inals have come to the conclusion, no mat
ter how great their crimes may be, some
lawyer can be found who can manufacture
II hole large enough for them to crawl out
OF when and where they please. Hence, the
law and lawyers are looked upon with sus-
picion. Even little children think the dev-
il will get the lawyers. Said little boy,
Ma, do you think the angels wings strong
enough to take lawyer to heaven?"
