~ Accounts are prevalent all over the
country of the terrible effects of trichonosis,
resulting from eating raw or only partially
cooked pork. Seventeen persons in New
York are dying of the disease, having parta-
ken of a Thanksgiving dinner and partaken
of partially cooked park. There is no remedy
for the dread malady. 1t is better never to
touch pork than to eat it only half cooked.
OF all meats this should be thoroughly
cooked, and the many instances of fatality
brought about by trichinm should serve as an
effectual warning to all.

~ Lima correspondent to the Chicago
Times makes the following reference to the
recently discovered oil interest Of that place:
THE oil produced by the wells in this oil
field has Just been fully tested as fuel and is
an undoubted success. The testwas made in
our largest manufacturing establishment,
which has nearly dozen large boilers, put to
their utmost capacity day and night in pro
ducing steam necessary for their business.
For cheapness it is fully the equal Of natural
gas, while the fact Of It's use being entirely
unattended with danger recommends it. One
syndicate will, it is said, have sixteen more
wells put down immediately, and private in
dividaais already have some under headway.'' =

tW Gladstone and his principal colleagues,
It is asserted, have arrived at an understand
ing on the Irish question. The liberal lead
ers have pledged themselves to grant local
parliament to Ireland; and to use every effort
to unite the party on the question. In referr-
ing to the same the London Standard says:
Mr.. Gladstone on taking Office, will be pre-
pared to create an Irish Parliament to man
age legislative and administrative affairs, Sc
curities being taken for the representation
of minorities, the equitable partition of all
imperial charges and the unity Of the empire.
The authority of the Grown and the supre-
macy Of the imperial Parliament will be as
8sured. It's possible that one Of the guaran-
tees will be the nomination Of a portion Of
the Irish members of the Grown.

of the Public Works discusses the canal ques

not only tax the people but cripple the pro-

to each canal its own revenue. That is the
correct thing to do. The Miami and Erie

Columbus Letter.
CorUxBus. Jan. S, 1856

COLUMBUS, Jan. 5, 16sj.
The convening and organization Of the
Sixty-seventh General Assembly brings with
1t no little importance to Ohio. The interest
is intense. The Republicans are over anxious
that John Sherman will be reelected to the
United States Senate, and while the 'faith-
ful'' are positive and try to be unconcered,
yet TO the casual observer is sure uneasiness
and anxiety. The party lash at the caucus to
be held for that purpose will whip the vaver-
ing and weak -kneed brethren into line.
Ex. Gov. Foster was here last week on rail-
road business. But his distinguished pres
ence caused alarm from the Sherman follow
ers, and they set up howl and moan that
is peculiar to the Sherman Bloody Shirt Cam
paign of last October.
The Democrats in the House appear mod
est as usual, being in the minority. But the
Republicans although having three on joint
ballot are afraid to tackle Sherman g election.
Therefore the Hon. Seth W. Brown who holds
up Warren county in the House and who poses
as Moral Reformer, became very anxious to
make it solid for Sherman, and thereupon on
Monday before all the members were sworn
into Office and before they had drawn their
seats introduced
AREsOLUTIoN,
the preamble of which was seathing rebuke
and reproach to the Supreme Court of Ohio,
because of its political complexion and es-
pecially of Judge s. N. Owen, because he is
Democrat, also eulogizing the Circuit Court
of Dist. No. l, Cincinnati, ostensibly be-
cause it was fair and really because it is Re,
publican on the contested elections in Ham,
ilton county. Then following this miserable
preamble came the
RESOLUTION
| to have the contested seats of the members
from Hamilton county nine in number, i'm.
mediately investigated by referring it tc
committee on privileges and elections, and
| it is evident that the ten Democrats elected
by the people Of Hamilton county, will be
counted out.
It will be observed that Bob. Harlin, thu
colored Republican from Hamilton county
4 will not be permitted to take his seat in til,
House, although he was as fairly elected a
any other Republican from that county.
The Colored Brotheris better for election
purposes than for holding office under Repub
lican administration. REX.

State, that is the debt Of cities, towns, coun-
ties, townships and school districts, is $5s,-

eE- 1t is charged and proved that John
Sherman introduced bill in 1867 for the
funding of the national debt by which pet
banks, acting as agents for the Government
in the matter, would have made the enor-
nous sum Of $35, ,OOO, 900 as commissions, &c.
The proposed steal was carefully hidden in
cunning provisions contained in the bill, but
fortunately for the country the fraud was ex-
posed by patriotic national banker. After
the exposure, Mr.. Sherman had the bill re-
committed to the Finance Committee, of
which he was Chairman, where it slept the
sleep of death. But the robbery Of the Gov
ernment was subsequently carried out in
funding the debt under Sherman as Secretary
of the Treasury, when the First National
Bank, Of New York, and several other pets,
made millions out of the fiscal transactions
connected with the funding operations. And
it is significant fact that Mr.. Sherman is a
millionaire, though only holding $5, 600 po-
sition. These facts are likely to prove em-
barrassing to Mr.. Sherman in the Senatorial
contest next month. Buepus Forum.

80 Speaking of the project of making
the Ohio Canal ship canal, connecting lake
Erie with the Ohio river, the Youngstown
,Vindicator says: 'Tt is not known, nor is it
stated, how the summit at or near Akron is
to be surmounted, and after the hilltop is
reached, how the water in sufficient quantity
is to be obtained to float anything larger
than an ordinary canal boat! Science is do
ing vast deal for the world. and Ohio in
cluded;' but that ship canal can be made
feasible in crossing the hills of Akron is one
of the many problems that need explanation.
Under ordinary circumstances, the topo-
graphical fact that the Ohio river, along the
southern boundary of the State, is higher
than Lake Erie, might be regarded as an OBJ
stacle, but yet there may be methods in the
modern system of syndicate stealing that re-
main to be developed, by which water may
be induced to run up hill--or the State
swindled out of the peoples property. The
latter result is the one that will probably be
reached"

SALE OF THE NARROW GAUGE.
Sylvester Kneeland Bids il in for 81
sol, 900.

INDIAHAPoL1s, Dec. 3O.-W. P. Fish
back aud John McNulta, special mas
ters in ehaneery appointed TO sell the
two divisions ofthe Toledo, Cincinnati
d st. Louis Narrow Gauge Railroad,
offered the same at the doors of the
United States Court room in this city
to-day. The Toledo division being
first offered, Sylvester III. Kneeland,
representing the Seney syndicate, was
the only bidder, he offering 5000, 900 for
the Toledo division, and after some de-
lay being declared the purchaser. The
st. Louis. division was next offered and
sold to the same party on the first bid
Of S90l 900. IL there was representa-
tive of the Quigley syndicate present,
he did not offer no bid on the property
The Toledo division was appraised at
5000, 900 and the st. Louis division at
$500, 900, the amount realized being ST.
900 more than the value fixed In the
decree.
1t is understood that this purchase is
made by the bondholders, who were
compelled to bid it in to protect their
own interests, but it is doubtful If they
can command sufficient means to enable
them to reorganize and operate the
road as an Independent line. They
must first see whether they have OBJ
tanned anything by the purchase and
then whether they can get anybody to
invest in it.
It has been known for some time
that there has been an arrangement,
the result of which will probably be the
purchase of the property by strong
syndicate which will operate it as 1t
should be operated.
