County Court.
The Honorable County Court of Holt
county nscct8 next Monday.
Concerning tho Oath.
Wo hare been listening for a long
timo to tho hub-bub raised over the fact
that somo disaffected persons in this
Stato, including ministers and lawyers,
have refused to take tho oath prescrib
ed for them in tho new Constitution
Tho reason of this noncompliance is
certainly very plain. When a man
cannot tako an oath without perjury
wo should be far from requiring him to
do so. Tho trouble is, these dissenting
pcoplo nro honorablo enough to regard
perjury as a wrong. Why should tho
friends of tho oath attempt to make
them worse by tho commission of this
crirao ? Their failure or refusal to take
tho oath, indicates to us a fact, which,
did they comply, wo would bo ignorant
of, namely: that thoy have at some
time during tho past struggle, been at
heart, if not by deed, guilty of somo of
tho specifications laid down therein
that at somo period they havo not been
truly loyal to tho Government to which
their allegianco was due. We can see
nothing clso than this in tho oath, which
wculd prccludo all from taking it. Wo
thould be satisfied with tho acknowledge
ments of thoso persons who object to
the oath. Thoy thus, unawares, expose
to us their records. Wo shall bo better
able" in tho futuro to designate their
propositions in tho social and political
Hcale. Let us profit by tho revelations
wo have.
From Georgia.
Tho Georgia Stato Convention met
on the 23th. IlnuscnnL V. Johnson
was called to tho chair, and mado a
speech in which ho suggested tho duty
of tho Convention, and clearly indicated
what in consideration of tho surround
ing circumstances must be done. "Tho
past," ho said, "could not bo corrected,
but wo can prcscrvo our posterity from
ifs consequences."
A messago from tho Governor was
received, upon important matters. He
suggested that tho Stato borrow money,
und recommended a chango in tho work
of representation to tho General Assem
bly. Ho recognized tho debt contract
I'd by tho Stato before tho war, as tho
only legal ono, that tho Confederacy
currency and causo Iburishcd together
in life and must bo buried in tho same
grave.
Tho Convention is tho ablest assem
blage ever convened in tho Stato, and
tho prospect is that its action will bo
harmonious, conservative, un.l in all
icspects gratifying.
Samuel T. Glovor.
Samufl T. Glover, indicted for
practicing as an attorney and counsollor
ut law, without hiving first taken tho
oath prescribed by tho Constitution of
tho State, and tried in tho St. Louis
Criminal Court, was found guilty and
his punhhment assessed at a fino of five
hundred dollars. Mr. Glover submitted
n motion for stay of execution, and an
r.ounced that ho wished to appeal tho
case to tho Supromo Court of tho Uni
tod States, which motion was granted.
Greatest Addition to Puilolcgy

Intcmporanoc Why it should bo
bUppi'OQBOU.
I presented, in, a previous copy of
tho Sentinel, a few ideas in regard to
tho various means which might bo used
to suppress the salo and uso of spiritu
ous liquors.
In this article I purposo to present
somo reasons why Intemperance should
be supnrcsicd its salo and uso as a
beverage that is, as a common or fro
quont drink, should bo suppressed be
causo it brings, its votaries 'rapidly to
ruin. First in the neglect of their
business, o'b no man can uso it for any
considerable length of time, without
wasting tho hours which naturo,,or na
turo's God, has given him for improves
mcnt, cither in tho accumulation of
wealth, or tho cultivation of his intel
lect, or tho improvement of his social
nature, or his senso of tasto in behold
ing tho beauties of nature.
Thcro is, occasionally, a man who us
cs it daily for years, without neglecting
his business ; but;most men who uso it
at all. have their seasons which thoy dc
voto (sometimes tor days, and even
weeks) to the exclusive gratification of
their appetites, and act moro like beasts
than beings endowed with tho noble
faculty of reason. Secondly, in tho
oss of property man ia not only brought
to tho verge, but actually into tho very
vortox of ruin. 'The money spont for
tho liqnor, to him and his family, is
certainly lost. But man not only loses
in tho causo of inebriation, his time,
but ho often loses not only f.rty and
fifty dollars, but even hundreds of dol-
ars in a short timo.
In tho Spring of 1860, 1 stayed all
night in Cleveland, Ohio, and saw a man
who told mo that ho came to that city
about two YVcoks before, and in that
timo had lost a soldior's claim to 160
acres of land, and one hundred and fif
ty dollars in cash. A man told the
writer of this article, some timo sinco,
that ho had spent (somo years ago) $90
in ono night, in a drunken frolic in this
town. Other illustrations might be giv
en to show tho wicked wasto of money,
saying nothing about tho timo lost, and
tho shamo growing out of such conduct,
and tho sufferings arising therefrom
of homo comforts and blighted hopes.
But tho fact3 above presented aro suffi
cient for our purpose. Thirdly, intem
perance brings its devotees to ruin, by
bringing on mental imbecility. No man
can livo in tho constant violation of tho
puysicai law or his oeing, and not pay
tho penalty, fur tho penalty, so to
1 Jtlllf
spoau, is in mo law uscit. A man
might as well think of holding his hand
in tho firo without being burned, as to
think of living in tho constant violation
of his physical powers, without injuring
his intellectual faculties ; hence, he will
soon bo rondcrcd unfit for tho business
of life, and his services bo unavailing
in tho accumulation 'of property, and
his body will soon ripen under tho in
fluence of disease, his mind a wreck on
the ocean cf timo, and his body clad in
rags, will soon go to its gravo.

Local Schools.
Mr. Editor : Who in our midst is
not interested in the causo of Educa
tion? Wo havo abundant opportuni
ties hero of giving to childron tho rudi
ments of our common English, but it
is not generally known that wo havo
school hero where young mon may be
prepared for a thorough collegiate
courso. I know that thcro aro several
of our young gentlemen farmers who
aro seeking a superior education at dis
tant schools, and very many who would
gladly cmbraco tho opportunity of so
doing, were it not on account of tho in
convenience of distance But now they
havo, right hero at homo, a clianco of
acquiring a liberal education, equal, in
deed superior to what thoy might have
by going a great distance. Lot thorn
now patronizo'tho undertaking. I ro
for to tho school of Mr. Cummins. Mr.
G. is a gentleman who h&B graduated
with distinction at ono of tho best col
leges of tho East, and is abundantly
qualified to impart his learning to his
pupils. If thoio who should, will only
encourago his attempt, we will have an
Academy in Oregon equal to any. I
speak moro particularly to tho young
men of tho country, many o, wjiora I
know aro desirous of acquiring a liberal
education.
Tcrrlblo Accident.
Ono of tho most distressing accidents
happened in this placo yesterday morn
ing, it has ever ucon our lot to record.
A woman by tno name ot iiuey j. .No
ble, and two littlo girls wero run over
by a car on tho North Missouri Railroad.
Tho woman was killed instantly, tho
wholo back part of her head being crush
ed on tho track. Of tho children, ono
had both hor legs cut offabovothoknoos,
and tho other had ono lpg cut off abovo
tho kneo and tho other crushed at the
ankle joint.
Tho facts as far as wo nro ablo to
gather them aro these. Mrs. Noble
with four childron, was op her way from
Holt Co., to her father's, in Scotland
county, Mo. She bad reached here tho
night boforo, and stuyod all night at
Mr. Bolandor's. She started tho next
morning with her children, to obtain
conveyance by stage On the way she
had to cross tho North Missouri track
Tho cars wcro being rccvl bock and
forth at tho timo, getting ready for tho
regular trip. It is supposed sbo had
reached tho track, and tno mother see
ing tho cars closo upon them, endeavor
ed to pull them back, and that in doing
so, slipped and fell with her head upon
tho rail, where it was siezod by tho car
wheel ; that tho children wcro partly
drawn off, which accounts for their logs
being mangled as thoy wcro. Tho old
est child, n boy, had got across tho
track in safety, whilo a still younger
child had not quito reached it. Others
think, that as it was raining at tbo time,
thoy hail taken refugo under a standing
car, and as tho locomotivo hacked down
to hitch to it, tho standing car was driv
en over them. But as no ono saw it,
it is iinpossiblo to tell precisely how the
accident occurred.
Dr. Wilson, assisted by Dr. Still,
immediately amputated ana dressed tho
wounds of the children, but thcro is littlo
hopo for their surviving tho dreadful
shock.
Mayor Wilson hold an inquest over
the body of tho woman, and a verdict
was rendered in accordance with the
abovo fact3. Eloven dollars wcro found
upon her person, which arc now in tho
posscssjon of tho Mayor.
We havo just learned that tho oldest
child died last night. Macon Argus,

Startling Discovery at Nashville.
Tho World has a dispatch from Nash
ville, dated jestorday, which says: l,A
startling discovery has bcon mado in
this city within tho last fow days. A
large number of thieves have boon dep
redating around tho city for somo time
East, all efforts to capturo them having
ccn unavailing, until lately, it has been
ascertained that thcro aro fivo differont
caves under tho city, which aro occupiod
by thieves, burglars and counterfeiters.
Tho ItlcNary vault, in tho graveyard,
has been under guard and men set to
work1 to affoct anentronco into tho cave
As fast as tho earth is romoved, fresh
earth is thrown up from tho insido of
tho cavo. This is tho samo cave that
Murrill and his gang occupied when en
gaged in running off negroes and hors
es. Tho affair has been kept secret,
out leaked out in spito ot tho military.
A year ago it was reported that the
McNary tomb was used as a place to
Btore plunder, and it is currently repor-
tca tnut a lauo covering nvo acres, and
very deep, is directly under tho city.
Ono man swears to having thoroughly
explored tho cntiro cavern, from one
end to the other. A guard has been
stationed over tho Acklin and Harden
tombs. Tho locksmith gives his opin
ion that tho lock on tho McNary tomb
has been used recently. The entrance
to tbo cavern is at tho foot of Summer
street. Tho military aro determined to
find out the outlet of tho cavo. The
eutranco looks liko a fissure in tho rock,
Tho discovery originated from tho
fact that quito a number of murders hsvo
been committed in tbo immediato vicini
ty, which led to an investigation, dis
closing tho above facts."

Shooting Affair All About a Hat.
A shooting affair occurred on Mon
day night in front of tho St. Georgo
Hotel, tho particulars of which, as near
as wo could obtain them from tho pre
liminary examination, are as follows:
Mr. L. A. Hudson, a deputy U. S.
Marshal, visited this city on Saturday
last, putting up at 'tho St. Georgo Ho
tel. During his stay at tho houso ho
lost his hat, which ho placed on a rack
appointed for that purposo near the di
ning room, and on proparing to leave,
on Monday evening, ho informed the
Landlord (Mr. Baysojthat he consider
ed tho loss-if his hat an off-set to tho
anount of board which ha owed. Mr.
Bayso informod him that hq was not
responsible for tho loss of his hat, hut
should hold him rcsnonsiblo for tho
amount of his bill. Mr. Hudson, still
arguing that his hat was equivalent to
tho amount of his bill, started for tho
railroad depot, when Mr. Bayso follow
ed him and took tho hat which ho had
on (another ono) from his head and re
turned to tho Hotel. In a short timo
Mr. Hudson returned and demanded his
hat. Mr. Bayso told him ho should not
have it until ho paid his bill. This
Hudson positively refused to do, and
after somo words drew his revolver and
shot at or noar Bayso, and thon arres
ted him (Bayse) und took him to tho
boat to convoy him to Jefferson City.
In a short time, however, a posse com
italus was summoned and Hudson was
arrested and brought back to the city.
A writ of habeas corpus was issued to
which Mr. Hudson mado return that ho
had arrested Mr. B.iyso by his authority
as Deputy U. S. Marshal, and because
he had committed an assault upon him.
Tho cause of arrest was declared insuf
ficient, and Mr. Bayso released.
A writ was then issued charging Mr.
Hudson with shooting at Mr. Bayse
with intent to kill. Upon this writ a
Drclirainarv examination was had on
Tuesday, boforo Julges Wolf and Gil
bert, resulting in tho commitment ot
Mr. Hudson, with bail fixed at ono
thousand dollars. He promptly gave
bail and was released. Weston (Mo.)
Times, 27ih.
A most distressing caso of suicide
occurred near Mexico, Mo , on tho
mornii g of the 21st. A lady by tho
name of Smith, who had been sick for
somo timet past, and it was thought
had become slightly deranged, was
talking with ono of her attendants on
the morning in question about a friend
of hers who had recently died, remark
ing that "she would bo much better off
if she were with her," and several other
remarks of about the samo purport
They not suspecting her intentions
went out for a few moments leaving
her alono. "While out they heard the
report of a pistol, nnd on going into
the room, found that sho had taken a
i
istol thaj was hanging on a wall near
or and shot nerselt througu tno ncau,
killing her instantly.
We aro opt to bo free with our jokes
upon doctors and their drug-, until sick
and in need of their a:d, then all alike
bow to tho necessity of-recourso to their
hard-earned, and often ill-requited skill.
Tho prevailing bilief that physicians
frown upon whatever deviates from
their peculiar system and usages, arises
from tho fact that their better inforra-i-tion
leads them soonest to detect and
discard the medical dolusions and impo
sitions that aro thrust upon tho commu
nity. That they are ready and prompt
to adopt any really valuablo invention is
seen by tho trcatmont Doct. J. 0. Ay
er's chemical remedies havo tcccivcd at
their hands. They appreciate the val
ud of theso medicines bocauso thoy
know their composition, and whero is
tho man who ever heard a respectable
i h aician cither disDaraco them or dis-
v1
courago itieir uso t ru uiuicauiuu or
pursuit has dono moro tor tho human
family .than tho medical profession.
Nono is followed by nobler raon or for
nobler ends ; nor is thcro ono which bet
ter deserves the best thanks of mankind.
