We don't like to see as clever a young gen tleman as Mr. Caywood leave this local ity, permanently, but as he has made up his mind to go, we wish that he may find a pleasant home, and meet with success in his undertakings. Miss Eva Chilcote is out with a new advertisement, announcing the arrival of her splendid stock of Fall and Win ter Millinery goods. In a few days she will be in her new quarters adjoining Johnson's storeroom, and the ladies should make haste to inspect her fine display of stylish goods. Dr. L: B. Dittoe writes us from Shel byville, Illinois, that he is highly pleased with that place, and the country surrounding it. . He represents the town as a lively, thriving place, and an ex cellent market for farmers, who always find ready cash purchasers for their products. .He thinks the country is a fine one for agricultural purposes, but the yield of corn .this year is not an average crop, nor is the wheat crop as good as in former fars the heavy rains just before harvest having dam-j "-feeif it materially. " j Railroad Accommodation. The trains are running, for the first time since the N. S. & S. R. R. has been opened to the traveling public, so that connection can be made with the C. & M. V. R. R. at Junction City, and better connections made at Newark with the several roads centering there. To the citizens pf our town who have business in Newark and our county seat and new southern towns, this change is very ac ceptable and is duly appreciated, as they can now visit any of them, transact their business and return the same day. The want of such accommodation has long been seriously felt, and we feel as sored that the business of the road will be so increased by the change that Mr. Quincy, the Superintendent of the Western Division of the B. & O. R. R., will never again allow the trains to be run as they formerly were. The busi ness men of Newark ought to be grate ful for this change, for to our certain -. knowledge they have lost a great deal of jswW, and not from Somerset alone, by he heretofore unaccommodating run ning of the trains. The political cauldron we believe that is what it is called is boiling at a . e. i . - ii. i .1 - T-" 1 1 mrjuus raie m tuis futility huh ran. J In all quarters, busy aspirants for official positions are button-hole-ing the sover eigns, zealously setting forth their own peculiar fitness for the places they seek, and earnestly bespeaking "support" upon the eventful " second Tuesday." Nearjy all those who are willing yea, anxious to take upon themselves the responsibility, the "pressure," and well . known "drudgery" of office, are in a high state of excitement and anxiety about the result ; and, as it is a fact gen erally recognized, that all who would sacrifice their own interests to serve the public, cannot be promoted to servants at least during the coming election those who have voluntarily come for ward, aa well as those who have tamely suffered themselves to be dragged for ward, do not fancy being scooped, and each one is naturally fearful that some thing detrimental to his individual pros pects will be sprang on the eve of the election, which he may be unable to ex plain away, or counteract by a more as tounding roorback of his own -inven tion. '..-.. ; - Post-Offices as Savings Bakks. ', A proposition suggested heretofore to pake all the important post-offices in the IJnited, States savings banks will be re vived in Congress this winter. This ' . proposal has always met with great op position; but its friends think the thous ands of depositors in savings banks who have been so greatly frightened by - the troubles now passing will join in the demand upon the Government to pro' vide absolute security against loss for its citizens, who with difficulty save only small surplus of earnings, which must be safely deposited and easily procura ble whenever necessary.

UituT of the Pres. Ob Tuesday last, a son at Adam Acker, Esq. tras arrested on an alleged viola t ion if an ordinance of the Incorporated Village of Somerset said ordinance re quiring that all coal sold or delivered in the corporation be weighed on the cor peration Scales. We are glad that this arrest has been made, and that the au thority ol the Common council to make arbitrary laws regulating trade, is to be tested. The law promulgated by the Council through the PltEsa some weeks ago, is an assumption of power not warranted, bv the constitution of the Slate of Ohio or authorized by the code. If A pur chases of B 50 bushels of coal, and is satihfied to take B's measurement of the game, that is their business, and is none of the business of the Common Council, or any body else. With just as much propriety they might legislate on the weight of articles purchased of them, to be re-weighed on the Corporation Scales. If the purchaser requires coal to be weighed, it is all right, but if he don't, wa would like to know by what gift of authority the Council can interfere in his business and eompel him to pay the 10 cent fee for their uncalled for and for ced protection. This forcing business is a most unmitigated humbug, and it is time our people understand their rights. They can buy all the coal mined in Per ry county; have it delivered taking the weight of the seller, if they please and bid defiance to the ordinance of the the Council; or, they can guess at the weight, or have it weighed at their own will and pleasure. - It-ia matter of contract between two parties, with which, as we have said before, neither the Coun cil nor any one else, has anything to do. Mr. Acker has erected Scales of super ior quality on his own farm for the weigh ing of his own coal. If his customers are satisfied with the correctness of his Scale, why should they or Mr. Acker have to re-weigh, any more than Mr. Bowman or his customers should re weigh 10 pounds of sugar purchased? Citizen. Senseless Crimination. From the Murysville Tribune. There is a great deal said in the politi cal journals in regard to the "salary grab." One party is trying to make capital by saying to the other, "you are responsible for the corruption," while the other retorts by saying, "you are equally guilty, for the majority of your members aided in the swindle.' Then the little spaniels in the shape of side parties, are all busy in their efforts to unsettle the minds of the people, by ta king np the cry of "corruption," ' and saying to them, "-rome over to us; we can offer you something honest, good and pure." All this is next to so much nonsensa nothing more. So far as the old parties are concerned, we hold that they are in a large measure pure; that is, as pure as men can be made in the capacity of a party. Because a few of their agents, having the opportunity, have acted un wisely or treacherously, and both sides being equally guilty, it is foolish to charge that the bulk of those parties, constituting the rank and file, are im pure. Just so long as a party shows the disposition and proves that disposi tion by its acts, to punish its recusant officials by th'usting them out, just so long is it entitled to receive the support of honest men. .When jl partv shows no inclination to Cure its own evils, or has not the ability to do so, it is then time to talk about destroying it. No new party has ever been success fully formed or ever will be, in this or any other country, that does not em brace all the political issues that enter into government. Suppose, for instance, the Prohibitionists should carry the day on their one-idea issue, how long would they exist as a party upon this one-idea when there would , come up scores of other issues for consideration and action? And how long would this one idea serve the leaders of this party as stepping stones to official favor and patronage when it became mixed up with the great mass of other vital mat ters claiming the attention of State aud Nation? Human nature is wonderfully the same the world over, and the man who will foolishly argue that a party can be got up free from impurities and kept-pure, is manifestly a visionary, and impracticable for any duty of life. If you want to reform a man, you don't conceive flie idea of killing him! If a few branches of a tree become diseased, to cure the distemper you cut off the diseased branches, and not the trunk. If a church needs awaking, you do not first blot it out. Hence if a few officials have stained their hands with corrup tion, it is the quintescence of weakness to talk of wiping out that party and substituting in its stead another lot of material of the fcarue kind. The only effect would be, to remove the floating corruption would be, to remove the floating corruption from one place to another from the old party to the new. The talk of "corruption is vastly overdone. Even moderately good men, and men who ought to be better histor ians, go about with doleful countenances and talk of the "terrible corruptions" in the government that" the like was never known before, and all this kind of puerile stuff, because a majority of our Congressmen, massing the two parties, voted themselves back pay, and because half a dozen or so had some interest in the Credit Mobilier swindle. All this is greatly to be deplored, but the idea that it can be bettered by a new party is folly. . .Corruptions, more or less, witb all the caution that could be exer cised, have been practised in the subor dinate departments of the government, ind they'wili be till the end of time, or till God in some way shall work a luii a cle in the constitution of fallen human nature. Who does not recollect the fearful mania for peculation onder Van Buren's administration, when the Swartwouts, Prices and hundreds of cor rupt officials in post offices and customs houses came near bankrupting the na tion, by appropriating millions to their their own uses? Who dees not know that the administrations of both parties have found it one of the most difficult things in carrying on the govenment, to find iu all cases pure and honest men to entrust with responsible official positions? All parties as well as persons, are liable to be deceived, and so long as we remain in the flesh we can attain to no higher degree of insight into the professions of purity In men, aud therefore the evils we cannot for"5e we have got to endure, There seems to be but one plain com mon sense duty marked out for our gui dance. Instead of parties criminating each other for the sins that both are guilty of, let them cast out the rotten elements from their midst, and. thus teach all aspirants for official position ! that thev must be pure and honest. It is too true, that in times past too much favor has been shown to professional as pirants; but the people have the cure ii their own hands, and they themselves are to blame if they do not use it. No elements can be so combined un der any new party name, which if suc cessful, but even in the fancy of that party would tend to "the same corrup tions. Men ore pressingly in baste to become rich, and many, alas, are not very conscientious how this is done. The eager elements for office which rise to the surface, are too often picked up upon their own solicitations, when plen ty of modefct, unassuming men. could be found, who would esteem it their first duty to serve tlieir'constituentaTaithful- iy- Therefore we say to all parties, choose your best men to serve you in official position. In case they feil to meet your expectations, punish them with the stigma of official misconduct and cast them out to rot in thtir own infamy. How a Yankee Captain Sailed Into Rio Juneiro. Brazil Coire-pondence of the Springfield ITnion. A few days later a most ridiculous af fair happened in the harbor. An ice ship from Boston entered the bay, com manded by Captain Green, in the South American trade. Fort Santo Cruze, not recognizing his house flag, hailed him and ordered him to "heave to." But the worthy skipper didn't speak Portuguese, and the sirnple statement of the name of his vessel, which he hurled at the fort, wag n"t at all satisfactory, so a blank shot was fired as a mild suggestion for him to stop. But he called for his re volver, and pointing it skyward, fired six successive phots. Then a solid shot from the fort skip ped across bis bow, and another, better aimed, passed through his fore-sail. The fort and two shore batteries opened fire upon him, and several of his light spars were cut away. But he held on his course rejoicing, loading and firing his revolver. Finally he reached quaran tine, and came to anchor just as his fly ing jib-boom went by the board. He was then so near the other shipping that they dared fire on him no longer, and the police-boat, the Custom-house boat, and the health-boat, all boarded him, together with the Captain of the port, who, with more vigor than politeness, wanted to know "Why in he didn't heave to?" "Heave to!" ejaculated the as tonished skippeV, "was that what you wanted? Good Lord! I thought you was salutin' the American flag!" "Dia ble!" shouted the officers in chorus, and set the case down as additional evidence of the lunacy which they regarded as a necessary ingredient of the American character. The Finest Church in America. , St. Patrick's Cathedral, on Fifth avenue 'and 51?t and 52nd streets, and extending back to Madison avenue, will be the finest church structure not alone in New York, but in the western world. Begun in 1858, by Archbishop Hughes, all work on it was suspended from the outbreak of the war to the beginning of 1864; then it was resumed, and the grand building, occupying an entire city block, is now about half finished. Enormous granite blocks const ituo its foundations. On these rises the graceful yet grand superstructure of the Cathedral, which is constructed all of fine marble. With its rich decorations, its rose window, its lilies of foliated tracery, its clustering Gothic pinnacles, its wealth of ornament, and, most of all, its lofty twin spires piercing the sky at a height li above eve rything else in New York, it closely re sembles the world famous Cathedral at Cologne. It will be the largest, the cost liest and the most lieautiful church in the United States its total cost exceed ing 2,000,000. Everything in its con struction is paid for before it is used. The towers at the corners will be 328 feet high."-At this " enormous height more than one hundred feet higher than the spire of Pearl street church in this city the figure stands on the highest land in that part of New York, the work men (they must carry steady heads) who finish off the spires will Jiave a gyand view of the city, the Sound, the Pali sades, the couutry about, and the unri valled bay at the south. The church itself, built in. pure white marble, the most beautiful of all material for such a strurture, will present a most graceful and harmonius mapping of outlines, and world of columns, capitals, and orna mental tracery. Across the front gable, over the entrance, there will extend a row of niches with statues of saints and martyrs seven and a half feet high. Above this will be a large or circular window twenty-six feet ia diameter "a splendid blossom of Gothic tracery with one hundred shafts of marble radiating from the centres, and holding triangular pieces of painted glass." Towards the construction of this grandest and most beautiful of American church edifices all the Catholic churches in New York con tribute. It will probably be finished four years hence, or in seventeen years of actual working time, allowing for the suspension during the war. Similar churches in Europe were hundreds of year3 in building. Hartford Times. An old farmer, dictating his will to a lawyer, ays: "I give and bequeath to my wifi the sum of 100 . a year. Is that writ down, master?" "Yes," said the lawyer; "but she is not so old but that she may marry again. Won't you make any change in that case? Most people do." "Ah, do they? Well, write again, and say if my wife marry again, I give and bequeath to her the sum of 200 a year. That'll do, won't it?" "Why, that's just double the sum that she would have had if she had remained un married," said the lawyer, "it is gener ally the other way." "Aye," said the farmer," but him thai takes her will de serve it!" During a balloon ascension at St. Petersburg the aeronaut experienced cur rents of air at different altitudes, mov ing in contrary directions, and by rising or descending w&s enabled to. keep in sight of the city for four hours. The spectators though that he had solved the problem of serial navigation, and had some contrivance for steering. There were three steady currents, two flowing from the south, and the third from the north. Sometimes the surfaces limiting these strata of air were sufficiently even to give rise to curious mirages. The son of a London widow, a lad fourteen years of age, worked his pas-J sage to San Francisco, obtained employ ment, and was working like a hero, with a fair prospect of becoming something of a man, when he suddenly received a I check in the shape of an inheritance of I $250,000. It has probably ruined his i chances of becoming a man. CORRECTED WEEKLY BY f A. B. YOST. raoDCcE. Br-rrta "8 "b Potatoes Tbuh.....-. rtMO9 r!

Kew Yrfc Wool Market. There has been an entire absence of any business calculated to establish a market range of values during the past three days, and quotations for the time being must be regarded as entirely nom inal. There is still a pressure to sell on the part of a few of the weaker houses of the trade, who have been pinched somewhat by the financial pressure of the past two weeks, and finding it im possible to negotiate Paper are forced to realize on their stock. The extreme range of quotations, say, 52i55c for double extra Ohio, 5052c for extra, and 45(5. 50c for extra and double extra Michigan are strongely adhered to by the most of the trade, but with few sales. Manufactnres do not seem to be in press ing need of stock, and generally- hold off for a more active trade in goods, or a reduction of values on a raw material. The few houses that are weakening tin ,der (he present financial pressure are theorizing enough stock upon the mar ket to supply the immediate wants of consumers, and the majority of the houses are selling nothing. Foreign Wools are flat and unchanged, and are held with relatively more firmness than most domestic grades. We omit the few transactions that are reported in the absence of reliable prices. " - . Boston Wool Market. There is very little to be said about the Wool market this week. Trade has been very light, and the sales foot up less than in any previous week for sev eral months. Buyers are in the market in fair numbers, but show no disposition to purchase h'eavily at any price which dealers would consider, and holders are not anxious to force Wool upon the market. It is difficult to give a quota tion for Fleece Wool which will repre sent the condition of the market. Prices take a considerable range, and based upon a great variety of circumstances. A cash buyer can probably purchase Ohio Wool about two cents a pound bet ter than two weeks ago, say at even half n dollar. Buyers who wish the usual credit find prices about the same as be fore the beginning of the panic, and also find dealers not anxious to sell, as they are confident of the future of the mar ket. The sales reported are hardly numerous enough to indicate the condi tion of the market, but are about the on ly criterion. The highest prices are usually for time sales. - - Sales for the week foot up 200,000 lbs domestic and 35,000 lbs Foreign. In cluding in the former are the following sales of Fleece: 10,000' lbs on private terms, 1,000 lbs Ohio extra at 52Jc; 20, 000 lbs Ohio extra and above at 50c, net cash; 30,000 lbs Michigan at 4850c 2,500 lbs Western at 48c; 3,000 lbs lambs at 40. 11.

Strong, living at Lo gan, Ohio, bought, some time since, a new cook stove. After it had been in use a few days, Mrs. S. kindled a fire in the stove preparatory to getting supper, one evening, and as she was about leav ing, a terrible explosion took place, blow ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, Ac, about the room promiscuously, and creating a great sensation in the neighborhood, but luckily, doing no further damage. It was afterward ascertained that the explosion was caused by powder which had been used in mining the coal, which becoming damp was pot ignited when the blast was set off. This powder, by some means got into Mr. S's coal pile, and thence into the stove, with the result above stated.,. ... f . .-. Mr. S. states thaf the stove is a re markably heavy and strong one.

There is no getting around this fact, although the runner (teaser) vehemently pro testa that be will sell cheaper than any body else, and just here comes in the secret of the transaction which very few understand, to-wit: The market prices of Foreign and American Mar bles vary from twenty to fifty per cent., being graded as No. 1, 2, 8, average and common. Now when a runner' finds it necessary te sell very cheap, and although he promises the best, still when the work Is being done the different grades of stock will be used according aa the price demands and when delivered the buyer with his want of experience cannot detect th difference. In our ware rooms can always be found the best and at the lowest rates, and U buyers want the cheaper grades, the prices will be lowered accordingly, but mind you, the dif ference will be fairly pointed out and you win not be made to believe i hat you are getting the best instead of the cheaper kind.
