CHEERING FROM THE BUCKEYE
kTATE.

In the jubilee over Connecticut the
scarcely less significant results in the
large cities Of Ohio should not be over
looked. Unusal interest attaches to the
political canvass in Ohio this year.
Since the day OF election in Pennsylvania
was changed to the 6rst Tuesday after
the first Monday in November, Ohio is
only one of the debatable States in the
North which has its election in October.
That the result of the October elections
has an important influence upon the No
vember elections has become a settled
fact in our politics. This year there will
be Chief Magistrate chosen in Ohio, and
large vote will be called out. Undoubt
edly there will be determined struggle
for the possession of the State, for in los.
ing it the Republicans will have Just
reason to despair Of the West in the fol-
lowing Presidential campaign. When
therefore, the four leading cities in the
State-Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus
and Dayton-(to say nothing of score
OF smaller ones)-are swept by the De-
mocracy by large majoritics. our friends
can feel assured that the Buckeye State
is not going back on her record of the
past two years. There is every thing to
encourage the Democrats OF Ohio in en-.
tering the fall canvass.

Digging UP Gold In n Cellar.

On Wednesday last, as Mr. Joseph
Millard, of New Boston, Schuylkill
county, Pa, was digging in a cellar
for the purpose of making it deeper he
'unearthed q tin box which he put on
his shovel and threw out with the earth
he was digging. The box lay about
for over two hours when man coming
along stepped upon it with his heel and
round piece of something fell out of
it which he carelessly picked up and
put in his pocket. Another party then
opened the box, and on the top found
a piece of cloth with number of but
tons on it; underneath that piece of
patchwork and beneath it number of
round pieces of metal resembling coin
but covered with green mould. Think.
ing these things of little or no value
they were pitched about among the
boys for some time. At last on the
mould being cleaned off they were as
certained to be'gold. .coin..of the denom-
ination of twenties, tens, and fives. 1t
is computed that the box contained
between $500 and $400, and it has been
pretty well divided among the people
OF. the village. How it came there no one
knows, but it is surmised that it had
been buried by a woman of the name
of Clark who died in the house some
years age, las when she lay on her death
bed she made attempts to tell some
thing, but on account of weakness she
could not, and pointed dowr to the eel
lar, but those present could not under
stand what she meant. .1.

LING MANIA. The spc ling mania haS
brought Benn Pitman, the phonogra-
pher, (who violates his own theories
by doubling the last letter of his first
name) out in card commenting upon
the absurdities of the present system of
photography. The wo.d "bleyme," "a
corruption of the word bleyne or blain,
an irritating disease,) pronounced
"bleem," foored everybody. They
tried "blegm," "bliphm,, and dozens
of other combinations. Piman says
they might just as well have tried clb-

Guano not an Excrement.

The long received opinion that guano
is the deposit of myriads of sea birds,
accumulatins through long ages. is rem
dered untenable by the recent investiga-
ton Of DR.. Habel. After treating the
guano with an acid, microscopical ard
chemical examination revealed that the
insoluble residue was composed Of fossil
sponges and other marine animals and
plants precisely similar in construction
to such as still exist in those seas. The
fact that the anchors of ships in the
neighborhood of the guano islands often
bring up guano from the bottom OF the
ocean is quite in opposition to the prev
alent belief. DR.. Habel therefore con-
siders that the deposits of guano must
be the result Of the accumulation of tos-
sill plants and animals whose organic
matter has been transformed into nitro
geneous substance, tho mineral portion
remaining intact.

Beecher's Testimony to-day.
he Speal. Of Stupid Eiss aud Faf'e-
hoods-7he B;aekmSa Scheme.

BROOKLYN, April s.-Moulton, for
began, was absent to-day. Beecher
commenced his testimony by referring
to the reading of the true stories by
Moulton; witness denied saying every
thing in regard to the construction
of the lctterand contradicted Moulton's 5
testimony and all the testimony con-
cerning the I shaping of intcrlings of
the composition. Witness also denied
the conversation sworn to by Moulton
in relation to the selection of Tracy as
counsel for himself, or any body else;
il was an explicit understanding that
no lawyers were to be consulted. The
conversation with Woodruff regarding
the calling in of Tracey was declared
allIimaginaryand the widest falsehood
Witness declared Moulton's statement
that witness told him he had confessed
to Tracy his sexual Intercourse with
Mrs. I iltOn as absolutely false; he
never made use of any such express
sion, nor anything that could be dis.
tortcd into such language; the testi-
mony of Tilton, regarding the placing
Of Oliver johnson in charge of the
editorial staff of the Christian Union,
was characterized by witness as very
stupid lie, sublime falsehocd; he de-
clared that he had no conversation
with Moulton or Tilton, relative to
placing any person ON the Christian
Union that would handle tho scandal
with more skill and kindness; witness
then came to the loan Of Sc, 900, ,suppos-
ed to have been drawn by blackmail;
he said MouIton represented to witness
that Tilton was very much depressed
financially, and that the Golden Age,
his only support, was going to ruin
witness told Moulton he was willing
to help Tilton by either his purse OF
or voice; Moulton showed witness 9
number of letters and due bills, prin
cipally for paper and printing mater
ials; there was no subscriptions Oh
small memorandum he showed witness
and witness added his subscription O.
$4,000; after subscribing met Tiltor
and told him when he wanted money
he should not hesitate through deli
cacy to ask for it, he expressed grea
thankfulness and displayed much af
fection; witness afterwards paid th'
money, placing a mortgage on hi
