The Ohio Atlas,

This work is being prepared by Har-
1ison d Warner,who have been engaged
in the publication of Maps and Aliases
of cities and counties in Ohio, Kentucky,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri, and now
propose issuing to the citizens of this
State an Illustrated Historical Atlas on
q much larger scale and more elabor-
ate plan than any heretofore attempted
1t will contain full and complete maps
of every county in the State, showing
the rail and wagon roads, schools, chur-
ches, creeks, and the location of thous-
ands of farm residences with the owners
names; Maps of cities and towns, to-
gether. with an immense amount of sta
tistical matter, including extracts from
the Statistical Atlas of the United
States. The publishers have underta-
ken the great task of combining Aliases
Of eighty-eight counties in one immense
volume, and that at cost but slightly
exceeding the price Of single county.
Such work deserves and will COM
mand liberal patronage.

E Prof. MARSH, In his letter showing
the frauds practiced on the Indians with
the Commissioner Of the Interior Depart
ment, is charitable enough to credit the
President with desire to do justice to
the Indians.
We are inclined to think GRANT would
prefer that DEtANo and his gang, brother
ORvrLLE GRANT included, would not steal
everything designed by the government
for those helpless victims. He will not go
the extreme length Of trying to prevent
it, but contents himself with mildly sug-
gesting between puffs of his cigar, that
they at least divide with the lndians-es-
pecially now that disagreeable fuss Is
being made about it.

One Of the most brutal and horrible
murders which was ever perpetrated was
committed in Philadelphia day or two
ago A wretch named Broderick, ,crazed
with liquor, came to his home, and, as
usual when in that condition, commenced
beating his wife terribly She fed taking
with her little child, but leaving asleep
on the bed baby, only six, months old
The drunken father, in his rage, delibe-
rately took up the child and threw her
from two story window, killing her and
mangling her in horrible manner. He
was arrested and, it is hoped, will be
dealt with in the most summary man
ner.

The taking of steps TO organize the

Which yearly comes Mr. Jonathan Lenlz
to revisit the scenes of his youth. He has
shown his interest sincere by contribut
ing handsomely toward the erection of
the school edilice, ON the site of the old
hall, and with the bricks of the hall he
erected the wall around the remains of
his long lost friends. 1t was Mr. L,ntz's
desire to restore the hall which had been
converted into pork house, but it did
not meet with the wishes of the people
He insisted on having the original door
used as we'll as the inscription above it =
Micah iv: which is the text of Scripture
revealed to Mr.. Rapp in dream, and led
to his founding the coloay. 1t reads as
follows:
sand thou. q tower of the flock, the
stronghold Of the daughter of Zion, unto
thee shall it come, even the first domin-
ion ;the kingdom shall come to the daugh-
ter Of Jerusalem"
PROGRESS AND DECAY.
Mr.. Lontzi is second in charge of the
colony in Pennsylvania, which to the
number OF 100 odi represents Mr.. Rlpp's
community of New Harmony. His do.
nations t. the school and cemetery, and
one proposed to the improvement OF the
library, show that the world has gone well
with his society; whereas, the community
organized by R ,bert Owen did not exist
many months, and the vast posses ,ions
of 10000 acres have nearly all passed
out of the hands of his descendants
One does not have to search far to trace
the cause. Mr. Rapp was a shrewd bu.
siness m IN, and was possessed of great
executive ability. While he induleed the
largest freedom of conscience (the ma
jority oft the community we're Lutherans
he exacted obedience and thrift. He es-
tablished all kinds of industries and man.
ufactories, and by the best of workman
ship commanded market for his goods
which increased the per capita wealth ol
the community from s. to $4,000 in less
than ten years. From Robert down the
Owens have been scholars and dreamefs,
and per consequences, the prey Of adven-
turers and rogues. tits said of the late
David Dale that when he built his labora-
tory he paid some bills over and over
again. And the noted men of science
and learning drawn to the community
were NO better calculated to look after
their own interests.
With the culture aud graces, philoso
ply and fun, 1t was no doubt, very hap.
py community for while; but with nc
business head, 1t was sorry time when
pay day came The industries had fallen
off, and, when put in the hands of ar
ageut.accrued to his profit more than thai
of the community. In a little over q
year Mr.. Rpbert Owen was convinced OF
the failure of his experiment, and return
ed to England The sons remained, but
inherited too much of their fathers un
worldliness and liberality to turn theil
vast possessions to account.

E The man who represents that the

Avolume of currency equal to the de-
