RuNAwAYs.-Two more runaways occurred,
yesterday forenoon. The first was mare
attached to a bakery wagon belonging to Mr..
Schneider, of the California Bakery. Mr..
Schneider left his vehicle temporarily in High
street, near the corner of Second, aud stepped
into a building near by. His mare became
frightened and ran off The wagon turned
over and she dragged it a hundred yards or
so up High street, on its side, kicking furi-
ously at every jump. She finally stopped,
back of Eckert IL Johnston's stable, the one
recently burned and now being repaired
Here it was soon discovered that she had Sc
verely injured herself by kicking against the
edge of the wagon springs. The main cords
OF the leg running from the hoof joint to the
hoof were found severed, and the animal
could not use the foot. Dr. Nutter, Neteren-
ary surgeon, was sent for and took the mare
limping to his stable We hardly think it
possible that he can do her any good.


The second runaway was that of Dart
onay's horse and express wagon, which
started from the Dawson House, (the horse
breaking from the place where it was hitch
ed,) and, passing around the Western House
corner, dashed up d street, full speed as far
as the Court House thence turned into Sixth
street, thence into Maiden Lane and ran into
stable. No damage was done, except
springing one of the axles and breaking a
shaft

\ man full of charity, Of humility, and
all the examples Of virtuous pastor.
Without pride, without arrogance, without
hypocrisy, there is q beautiful simplicity
in his life and actions, a kindness, a gen
tIeness, forbearance, tremendously com
bined with bcld zeal, never tiring indus
try. in doing good to all, that marked him
out as one of those chosen shepherds sent
by heaven as a blessing TO some chosen flock
Cheerful without leyity, he joined in all
their innocent amusements Of his simple
practitioners, and happy himself in the con-
sciousness of a useful and virtuous life, as
well as in the rational anticipation of bliss
ful eternity, he walked among his people
not as a shadow darkening all around, but
as Il sun, cheering, animating, blessing
those who had basked in his smiles Care
less of his rest, and his personal labors, he
was ready at all times by day and by night
to 90 forth to comfort the afflicted, relieve
the sick and sooth the dying. He asked
nothing for himself, and gave every thing
to others; he labored not in his own vine
yard, but in that of his Master, and the
fruits Of his exertions soon became visible
to every eye. A careful innocent gayety
soon began to appear again in the village;
the people went forth to their daily occu-
pations with smiling hopes, that caused all
to exert themselves in their various pur-
suits Begging took refuge in the labors of
its own hands, and found its reward in the
comforts of independence, and the appro-
wing smile Of the excellent pastor, who ne
yer lost an opportunity of rebuking the
idle, or applauding the industrious, for
we'll he knew that among all classes of man
Lind aad especially the laborers, idlaness is
but another name for sin and misery In
short, blessed by such an example, and
led by such guide, it was not long before
Elinsburg became the model of Virtuous
and happy village; and it might be said
with truth that neither poverty nor vice
was any longer known among It's inbab-
itants. Such are the benefits of a good ez-
ample combined with good precepts, and
such the blessings of pious shepherd,
who fulflls his duty to his Maker, to his
creatures, and to the holy calling by which
he is sanctifed and ennobled.

In village near Newark, England, in
an old thatched house, which has been oc-
cupied by the same family for nearly three
hundred years, there lives an old man who
has nearly completed his eighty sixth year


\ person who had occasion to visit him the
other day, was not little surprised CT
hearing the old gentleman, in the course
Of conversation, express his belief that he
was not onl y going to heaven, but had
been there once since his first introduction
into this world From the account he gives
Of the matter, it appears that when he was
about eleven years Of age he was in an ap-
parently liteless statc-which he called a
trance-for the space of nine days, and it
was during that tine Hat he thinks he vas
permitted 10 behold the glories Of heaven


His parents fully believed him to be dead;
the passing bell was rung; his coffin was
ordered and made and on the third day
his friends assembled for the purpose Of
following him to the grave. The clergy
man Of the parish went in to look at the
supposed corpse before the coffin lid was
screwed on, and finding it to be warm he
at once expressed his opinion that the child
was not dead, and after ordering the post
ponemcnt Of the funeral sent his servant
on horseback for doctor, who on arriving
at the house confirmed the assertion of the
minister, and instructed the boys mother
to moisten the boys lips with wine and
water twice day. She did so and on the
seventh day he showed signs of life by me
wing on the eighth day he could hear the
conversation of persons in the room, and on
the ninth day be vas able to open his eyes
and rise from the supposed bed of death.
Since that time his health has been deli
cate, but he has continued to occupy the
grazing land adjoining his cottage, and has
kept COWS after the manner Of his forefath-

Atenlpt 10 Blo1g Up Man Of Uar.-
During the celebration of the Emperors
fetc in Vienna, an attempt was made to
blow up mammoth man war, named
the Kaiser. An account says:


"The attention Of a sentinel on guard
over the powder magazine of the Kaiser
having been attracted by a faint grating noise
seeming to issue from the woodwork, he
gave the alarm. A search was made, and
crouching upon his hands and knees was
discovered an individual, who having sue
cecded in boringan augurholcinto the pow
der magazine, was already inserting the
WIRE to which was fixed the match which he
had destined to blow up the vessel with ey-
cry soul on board, the whole of the ships
lying in the neighborhood, the Archduke
and all his company, including, besides,
the greater part of the town itself


The gculprit belonged to the Kaiser,
and turns out to be the officer called in
the Austrian service Second Captain, which
answers to First Lieutenant in our own
lie was of course, Immediately seized, but
before he could be secured, had blown his
brains out with the pistol he carried in his
belt. He was an Austrian"

All the exaggerated and false reports to
the contrary, the battle goes we'll every
where. The talk of the enemy about New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois
being doubtful, or going for Douglas, is gam
mon to cheat the rank and file into delusive
hopes and thus save an universal stampede.
New York is as certain as election day and
so are Illinois and Indiana regarded by our
friends, while the careful and cautious North
american, of Philadelphia, says of Pensyl
vania:


Our confidence in the result is confirmed
by all the intelligence from every quarter
and we have the best reason to believe tha
Mr.. Curtin's majority will range from Is
900 to 10000 and may far exceed it. Hi,
election is beyond doubt by large majority
the extent which may be determined BY
various contingencies. None of them car
reduce his strength, and some of them may
augment it materially.


The skies are bright and the prospects
most encouraging for glorious victory over
the advocates of wrong and outrage, and
the enemies of free labor and FREQ men.

On Tuesday next, the election for State
and county officers, and Congressman takes
place. We appeal once more to every
man in the county. Have you done all you
can to make sure the success of the Repub-
lican candidates? Have you seen and con-
versed with all your neighbors? If there
is one of them who is not fully persuaded
in his mind as to the man he shall vote for,
sec him at once. The most desperate eff.
forts are now being made by our opponents
to re-elect John Bell and James N. Smith


They are taking desperate means to de-
feat John. Carey, and elect Warren P. No
bic, the Tiffin lawyer.


Let all the time before Tuesday morning
be spent in such manner that every votel
will be got out. If you will do this, the
Republican ticket in sandusky county will
be successful.
Year: 1860

Do our friends throughout the county
fully estimate the Importance of securing
EVERY REPUBLICAN VOTE on Tues
day next. One vote may defeat the tscket
One vote lost in each school district will
give the sham democracy large majority
in the county. If every Republican vote
is cast, with those who will vote the Re-
publican ticket for the first time, all our
candidates will be elected.


If one of your neighbors is absent from
home cause his return if possible. If one
should think of going away, induce him to
remain until he shall have discharged a
freeman's duty by voting for the men Of
his choice.


There are men in every community who
complain of their officers, and generally the
ones who complain most are the men who
are seldom found at the polls on the day of
election. They claim that their business
prevented them from discharging this duty
Now we hold that it is every mans duty tc
vote for or against the candidates that ask
support of the people at the polls; and
should he fail to do 1t, he should never oper
his mouth against those that may bo sue
cessful.


Remember, then, ONE VOTE may Sc
cure the election of our candidates.


Remember, also, that the LOSS OF
ONE VOTE may DEFEAT our ticket
Do not let that vote be yours.

From now until the day of election; sec

The desire to be rich is not evil in itself.
1t is nonsense for a man 10 stand up and
discaim the desire for wealth, and urge
upon himself the idea that he should be
poor. Money IS neither an evil nor good
itself; it has not a moral character. It is
simply an agent; and whether it be good
or evil depends upon the manner in which
it is used. 1t is like sword. Whether
sword be in the hands Of Benedict
Arnold, bathed in bis country's blood, or
in the hands Of Washington, welded for
justice and liberty it is sword only, and
has not character. Whether it be an
instrument for good or evil depends upon
the character of him who holds the hllt,
and not the sword itself. So it is with
money. 1t is an agent; it is gigantic
motive power, that thunders around the
world. If the devil stands engineer, it
thuuders on, freighted with untold mis-
chief, scattering oppression and cruelty
and wrong. But if it is guided by the
spirit Of love and truth, it is like the sun,
shedding light and summer upon the
world. '--5

There is practice, quite prevalent
among young ladies Of the present day
which we are old-fashioned enough to
consider very improper. We allude to
their giving Daguerreotypes Of them
selves to young men who are merely &C.
quaintances. We consider it indelicate
in the highest degree. We are astonish.
ed that any young girl should hold her.
self SO cheap as this. With an accepted
lover it is Of course all right. Even in
this case the likeness should be returned
if the engagement should, by any mis-
understanding, cease.


If this little paragraph should meet
the eye Of any young girl about to give
her Daguerreotype to gentleman &C.
quaintance, let her know that the re-
marks made by young men when togeth-
er; concerning what is perhaps on her
part bus piece of ignorance or impu-
dence, would if she heard them, cause
her cheeks to crimson with shame and
anger. "Were it a sister of ours" we
have often said, with flashing eye
were it sisters of ours! but that not
being the case, we give this advice to
anybody's sister who needs il. most anx.

Here is good story which we have
just heard. A young man "a brother to
"Sly Boots" perhaps, for like her he ems
joyed go,d joke was studying in COL
lege, One afternoon he walked out with
one Of his instructors, and they CHANGED
to see an old pair of shoes lying by the
side of the path, which appeared to be-
long to poor man at work close by.


"Let us have little amusement, at his
expense said the student. "Suppose
we hide those shoes, and conceal our
selves in the bushes to W atch his perplex.
ity when he cannot find them"


can think Of better trick than that
said the instructor. "You are rich, anil
suppose you put a silver dollar in the toe
Of each Of his shoes and then we will
hide"


The young man did SO. The poor man
uuloueu HIS WOIh SOOuJ anu WcuG W put
on his shoes. You can imagine his sur
prise when be stopped down to take out a
pebble, as he supposed, fr m the toe, and
found it to be hard dollar, and then his
absolute perplexity and astonishment,
when be found still another in the other
shoe. His feelings overcame him; he
fell upon his knees looked up to heaven,
and uttered aloud fervent thanksgiving,
in which he thanked kind Providence for
sending him some unknown hand to save
from perishing his sick and helpless wife,
and his children without bread. Do you
wonder that the young man stood in his
hiding place deeply affected, and his eyes
filed with tears? Young friends, and
you, Miss "Sly Boots" when you want to
enjoy real pleasure at Witnessing the per-
plexity of others, see if you cannot in
some way initiate the student. Such
tricks are we'll worth being performed.

Proverbs are the extract
Of the wisdom of ages. As the story Of
BOBBY may be told in single one of its
pages, and the pith of that page reduced to
single paragraph, SO the history of the
human heart-which couprehends the record
Of mankind--the experiences of ages can be

been transmitted from time immemoral to
present days. The entire history and future
to the world is nowhere so we'll told as IN
that old sentence: 1t has been; it is; it will
be. Nowhere is the power of the omnipotent

word Eternity. and the contemplation of

Speech is the gift of although of few.


Humble wedlock is better than proud

Time is the Herald Of Truth. 4.


No man is so old but he thinks he may
live another year.


The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but
the mouth of wise man is in his heart.


Nature has given us two ears, two eyes,
and one mouth, to the end that we shall
hear and see twice as much as we speak.


An obedient wife commands her husband,


A nod from lord is breakfast for fool.


Beauty in women is like the flowers in the

If an ass goes travelling, he will not return

Laberus says, and most truly: "Be on
such terms with your friend as if you knew
that he would become your enemy"


And the succeeding tIuism from Plantus,
it is to be lamented is held "obsolete'
among the youths of these degenerate days,
"It becmes young man to be modest"
Modesty is the signet which worn preserves
youth or maid against the moral assassin.

| W Inc news not appearing thlS morn


ing, the following letter has been handed to


us for immediate publication by the author,


the Hon. ". P. Harris. 1t is designed to pre-
vent gu erroneous impression on the public


mind touching his views concerning the i'm
portant matters which will soon require the


action OF the people of Mississippi in their


sovereign capacity. 1t will be seen that he


wholly rejects the idea that the course Of Mis-


SsSlppl shall be subject to the decision OF the
other "slaveholding States or majority of
them" If Mississippi is to await the tardy
acton of Tennessee or Maryla Or Ken
lucky or Missouri or Delaware, or the whole
combined, then it is not improbable that she
will wait until the crack Of doom: certainly
sae will wait until Lincoln is installed into
Office over US with the purse in one hand and
the sword in the other


II the action of Mississippi is to depend
upon the action Of Tennessee for instance,
than have her People isbofcd IN vain to elevate
themselves to the full stature of men who
know their rights and knowing dare maintain
them. Unless her sentiment is misrcpre-
sented she will not take step so utterly Sui
cidal. It will amount to an unconditional re-
treat from the attitude which she has hereto
fore occupied.


We declared repeatedly before the election,
and we now reiterate, that ninety-ninc OF ev-
cry hundred of the supporters of Breckin-
ridge and Lane were for disunon in the event
OF Llncoln's election, and upon that kaoaC7edge
we do not hesitate to say that they do not in
tend to permit this grave movement, involving
considerations of vast and vital moment, to
degenerate into the miserable farce of "a Con
vention Of all the non slaveholding States or
a majority of them"


The Convention game has been pretty well
played out. If it is still to be persisted in
we think it would be advisable to take each
chapter in its order and await the action of the
ATLANTA Convention" for which our Legisla-
ture at its last session provided.


Let each State that chooses to go out of the
Union act in its separate, sovereign capacity,
and when this step is taken, as many as shall
have moved, can then meet in Convention and
ADOPT Constitution and Government for the
Southern Confederacy


The following is the paragraph to which the
card Of Judge Harris is a response


SEPARATE STATE AcrIox.-Our attention
has been called To an omission in our report Of
the speech of Hon. Wiley p Harris, at the late
demonstration in this city, in which he object
ed to separate State action. Very few are so
extreme as to favor this idea. Resistance
seems to be the general understanding, but
the mode must be determined by Convention
of the slaveholding States, or majority Of
them. This is the only course that the peo-
pie will sanction, and the only one that can
result in the establishment of a Southern Con-
fedeTacy on sound and firm basis.
