A $5,000 fire occurred in Mt. Vernon on
Wednesday. The building occupied by the
Democratic Banner office, and owned by G.
B. Potwin, was destroyed. The type of the
Banner office was melted and tne presses
so warped by the heat as to be unservice
able. Other parties occupying the building
suffered heavily.
The Marlon Mirror relates the stiffest
snake story ol the season. It says a man
named Brady, in that county, recently
burned over a piece of prairie land on which
he counted afterwards 13.9S3 snakes ! One
was a black racer nine ft et four inches long
and seven inches in circumference. The
snakes bad attacked children on their way
to school, milked the cows in the neighbor
hood, and even gotten into the boots of
some of the neighbors. This last is the most
marvelous of all.
No better appointment could have
been made than that of Hon T. C. Jones of
this county as member of the Board of
Trustees of the Ohio Agricultural and Me
chanical College. Judge Jones' practi
cal and scientific experience in agricul
ture, his standing among the leading
agriculturists of the State together with
the active interest he has taken in the
organization and success of this institu
tion, qualify him preeminent! yto be one
of its founders and managers. He will
make one of the most useful members
of the board.
A resolution passed both branches of
the Legislature which authorizes the
Governor to receive proposals for a new
location for the State Reform and Indus
trial School for Girls. So that institu
tion is to be removed, as we predicted.
There is no doubt after all about its suc
cess ; the only question is as to where it
shall be located. We had supposed that
matter settled, but it seems not. The ex
periment of a Girls' Reformatory is to
be tried elsewhere. Why it could not
have been as well tried at White Sul
phur, or why the Orphans' Home is
more likely to succeed there than the
Reformatory is not at all apparent. Of
the two institutions we should think the
Reformatory would have, so far as the
locality is concerned, decidedly the most
favorable chances.

will probably be the death of the bill.
Let it die.
The site of the Central Ohio Lunatic
Asylum on Broadway, Columbus, cm
braces a tract of seventy acres of beau
tiful building lots located on the hand
somest street in the city. The removal
of the asylum to a new site has been
made conditional upon the sale of this
land, on or before the 20th of May, for
f 200,000. The property would certainly
bring that and probably more if kept for
a time by the State and offered in lots to
suit purchasers. But this is a matter with
which the question of removing the asy
lum has properly nothing to do. If it
ought to be removed its removal should
take place whether the land, is sold or
not, and thwe seems 110. occasion for
haste in forcing the State to part with
this property. The city is rapidly im
proving around it, and should the asy
lum be taken away its value will advance
faster than ever before. But under the
provisions ot tne law the- Mate is com-
pclled to sell the land at ence and then-
fore lose its prospective- rise in value or
else sacrifice a confessedly Ixsaehcent
policy Dy keeping the asylum w here it is.
INo business man. would consider such
management wise as applied to his pri-
vate transactions.
The Governor has appointed and the
Senate confirmed the following gentle
man as a Board of Managers for the
different Soldiers' Orphans' Homes to be
established in Ohio : James Barnett, of
Cuyahoga, for the term of five years ;
J. Warren Keifer, of Clarke, for five
years : Benj. F. Coates, of Scioto, and
Ralph P. Buckland, of Sandusky, for
four years each ; Barnabas Burns, . of
Richland, for three years ; Manning F.
Force, of Hamilton, for two years ; and
John S. Jones, of Delaware, one year.
This county, it will be seen, has been
given a member of the Board and we
predict that General Jones will prove to
be the right man in the right place. In
view of the probable location of one of
the Homes at White Sulphur Springs the
responsibilities of the resident member
become important. We. do. not believe
White Sulphur a suitable place for the
Home, but if that institution does not
turn out we-U it will not be the fault of the
resident Manager. So far as its success
depends upon that officer it is assured in
General Jones' appointment. He will be
equally Trustee for all the Soldiers' Or
phans' Homes in the State and as such
is equally competent. The selection of
General Jones is one of the very best
that could have been made.
THE CENTRAL LUNATIC ASTLl'H.
The Central Asylum for the Insane
was destroyed by fire on the 18th of No
vember, 1868. On the following- Mon
day the Legislature met and held a three
days' session, during which a joint
special committee was appointed to in
vestigate the causes ef- the fire, the ex
tent of the damages, and the compara
tive expediency of rebuilding, the Asy
lum on the old site and of removing it
to a new one.
Early in the regular session of the en
suing January, this committee made an
elaborate report, concluding with the
recommendation, signed by every mem
ber of- the committee save one, that the
ruined buildings, and not exceeding
thirty acres of the adjacent grounds of
the late Central Lunatic Asylum be set
apart for the erection of an Asylum for
the Blind ; that the present site of the
Blind Asylum be sold and the proceeds
applied to the erection of the new build
ing for that institution ; and that so
much of the grounds of the late Central
Lunatic Asylum as were not needed for
the Blind Asylum, be sold and used in
purchasing a new site for the Lunatic
Asylum, embracing not less than 250
acres of land, located not more than two
miles from the city of Columbus.
The investigations of the committee
developed the following facts, which were
substantially embraced in their report :
That the Blind Asylum building was lo
cated on low marshy ground, was
crowded even to the attics, was in con--
stant and imminent danger of destruc
tion by fire, was unfit in construction and
capacity to meet the purposes for which
it was built, and that it must soon be re
placed by a new edifice; that the found
ation walls, together with the center
wing and machinery of the late Lunatic
Asylum could be easily and admirably
adapted to the construction and uses of
a Blind Asylum ; that should the Blind
Asylum be removed, its present site
could be sold for 55,000 ; that should
the Insane Asylum be removed, the east
half of its present grounds would be en
irely adequate for the use of the Blind
Asylum, and the west half could be sold
for at least $70 ,000; that this sum would
nearly or quite purchase a farm con
veniently near the city, and adjacent to
the Asylum for the Idiotic, affording a
most eligible site for a new Insane Asy
lum; that all specialists in the treatment
of the insane agree that a farm location
is more eligible for an insane asylum
than a city location ; that the farm en
ables the patients to produce a great
proportion of the supplies needed for the
institution, and at the same time affords
them those opportunities for light, agree
able out-door recreation not obtained in
the city ; that specialists, including Dr.
Peck, Superintendent of the Central
Asylum, agree that from five to ten per
cent, more cures could be effected at a
farm than a city location ; that in the
city the Asylum was so accessible that
the insane had been and would be an
noyed and excited, to their great injury,
by the visits and intrusions of the curious;
that in the present location the institu
tion had proved a nuisance to the city,
and the city a nuisance to it ; that there
was not enough land connected with the
present site for an insane asylum of that
capacity, and it was impossible to buy a
sufficient quantity adjacent to it ; and
that if the building were reconstructed
on the old plan, it would lack all the
modern improvements of such institu
tions. Notwithstanding this report and the
earnest remonstrances of the trustees of
tne inst.tution, the Legislature voted to
rebuild it on the old site, and within five
minutes after that vote was taken, an in
vitation was received and accepted from
the municipality of Columbus, tendering
the Legislature a banquet at the expense
of the city ! So great was the favor sup
posed to be done in keeping within the
corporation limits of Columbus an insti-
tution which obstructed the improvement
of its finest street, and near which no
body desired to live !
Accordingly the contracts for rebuild
ing the asylum on the old site were
made, and also for erecting a new Blind
Asylum on the site of the old one. It
was determined to build the new Insane
Asylum in the linear form, and conse
quently seven acres of additional ground
had to be purchased, at an expense of
$ 14,000, in order to make room for it.
All this was done on the great principle
of economy, which many seemed to
think of more importance than the wel
fare of the insane, and which those op
posed to the removal of the institution
declared could not be subserved if a
new site were to be chosen.
But no sooner did the architects come
to examine the old walls, with a view to
reconstruction, than they found that it
would cost the State fully as much to
patch them up as it would to build new
j ones, i his was no new discovery. I tie
fact that the old walls were utterly unfit
for the new building had been fully made
known to the Legislature before its vote
on removal was taken. Nevertheless,
many voted against removal on the
ground that the use of the old walls
would be a great saving in the construe-
j tion of the building. This, however,
j jmpractiCable, the old walls were
Ven down at an expense of not less
j than $30,000. The trenches for the new
j foundations were dag, and the damp,
j oozy soil speedily filled them with water.
j But little further progress was made
I unt;i t,e present Legislature met. That
J body made a re-examination of the facts
1 bearing on the question of removal, and
j the result is that a bill has passed both
Houses looking to the purchase of a
farm near the Idiotic Asylum, and the
erection thereon of the Central Asvlum
for the Insane, exactly as was proposed
by the advocates of removal in the pre
vious Legislature.
But meanwhile work on the Blind
Asylum has progressed, and that insti
tution cannot be removed to the site of
the old Lunatic Asylum, as was first
proposed. Consequently it must remain
in its present swampy, inconvenient and
ineligible location, and the advantages
of using in its construction the founda
tions of the old Lunatic Asylum are
lost. The State also loses possession of
the whole of the splendid property on
Broad street, which, the bill provides,
shall now be offered for sale. The bill
conditions, however, that the sale shall
be effected on or before the 20th of May
next, and if not concluded by that time,
that the trustees shall proceed to rebuild
on the old site. It is also provided that
in case of removal, the contractors shall
be paid reasonable damages covering
the work already done, and the increas
ed expense arising to them owing to the
change of location.
So, after a year's delay in providing for
the insane, and the loss of many thous
ands of dollars to the State, it is deter
mined to carry out, though imperfectly,
the plan which was foreseen from the
beginning to be the most beneficent and
economical. We give this as one ex
ample of what short-sightedness in the
management of our public benevolent
institutions costs, and of what sins may
be committed under the name and guise
of economy. Another such institution, a
Home for soldiers' orphans, located un
suitably and ineligibly on the same plea.
of economy, is about to be established,
and we think not unlikely with similar
but more disastrous results. How long
such bungling is to be tolerated, we do
not pretend to say, but suppose it will
continue at all events until the people
shall inject into the Assembled Wisdom
of the State some of that plain common
sense and ordinary forecast which men
of ju dgment employ in the management
of their private business.
CALIFORNIA ITEMS.
We are permitted to make the fol
lowing extract from a letter to Ralph P.
Ranney, Esq., dated San Francisco,
April 1 2th:
We are to have this week a blow-up
of Blossom Rock. They intend to put 20
tons of powder into it so if you feel the J
shock you can let me know, lor 1 think
it will give us a shaking. I was at
Woodward's Garden last week. They
have there a crab 12 feet long weighing
40 pounds. There are at Oakland two
apple trees that bloomed in January; the
apples on them now are as large as hen.s
eggs. We had a shake (trom an earth
quake) on the 20th. No damage done.
OCR DIGNIFIED LEGISLATURE.
Somebody says that laws and sausa
ges decline in our esteem in proportion
to our acquaintance with the manner of
their making. As an illustration of
this, so far as laws are concerned, we
quote from the Ohio State Journal of
Tuesday last in reference to the closing
scenes in the Ohio Legislature : In the
House, while a special appropriation
bill was under discussion, somebody
stopped the clock at ten minutes past
eight o'clock. This tampering with
time was the first evidence of a disposi
tion to rebel against order. About nine
o'clock paper balls flying in different
directions, prepared the way for the
general engagement that was sure to
follow. Mr. Hitchcock was in the chair,
but when heavy shooting commenced he
retired and Mr. Cunningham took
charge of matters.
Mr. Parr made a central movement
by the right flank backward, in a busi
ness way. when somebody threw
heavy chair cushion at him. Everybody
eise immediately aid tne same thing,
and the gentleman from Licking was
submerged with cushions. He threw
the cushions back promiscuously, but
finally retreated. A diversion about
this time was made by a center shot at
Mr. Callen of Mercer. A well aimed
cushion struck him about the vest
pocket and floored him. He returned
the compliment on general principles,
while Hughes of Highland ventured a
protest. He was cushioned at once into
silence.
Mr. Milligan. in irvine to make him-
seit heard, stepped to the Speaker s
stand.
Acker of Hockincr aimed a scattering
sum ai mm ana struck the p-lass shade
on the gas fixture near. The glass was
nunea in small nieces into Mr. M 1-
gan's face, with great force, and pro
duced considerable injury. This was the
last effort on the Dart of the trentlem.in
from Hocking, and he subsided.
1 he hall was tilled with spectators.
many of these beinir ladies. The gen
tlemen formed a line to guard the ladies
from the flying missiles, and the battle
of the cushions still raged on the floor.
The unexpected result of Acker's im
promptu effort, exerted a quieting influ
ence, however, and out of chaos came
order again, the House going through
the motions of adjournment a little be
fore ten o'clock. The appropriation bill
failed to pass, and the result soon came
out at the Auditor's office.
It seems like a tender statement of the
case to call the tariff-fatted crude iron
which is now bristling, and rooting, and
squealing on the floor of the House for
more to cali it by the little pet name of
pig-iron. It should be called hog-iron.
Xenia Torchlight. ,
Speaking of the contest over the Sol
diers' Orphans' Home bill in the Legis
lature the Xenia Torchlight says:
There was a strong struggle for the es
tablishment at Xenia. But, besides the
hostility of the minority to this city's"
race, color, and previous condition,"
coupled with the G. A. R., the proposi
tion for White-Sulphur Springs is said to
have had a 10b m it. 1 here was a lot
of ricketv furniture and old ' trumpery
there that a Democrat had an interest in,
and that would go with the buildings
and be paid for. The White-Sulphur
location was decided on.
A Now England writer says : "The
moi-t singular feature of the illustrated
press, and one I have never seen com
mented on, is this : While other perio
dicals during the war advocated all
shades of opinion, and were as diverse in
their political views ;is their individual
editors were personally unlike, the illus
trated press was united in its support of
the North, and in opposing coppcrhcad
ism, repudiation, and similar kinds of
policy. With the exception of the La
Crosse Democrat, which cannot fairly
be called an illustrated paper, I do not
recall a single instance in which a jour
of this sort was not thoroughly loyal and
radical in its tone."
From the Chldgo Advance.J
Mr. Horace Greeley, after a lifetime of
service in the temperance war, has late
ly settled down upon the plan of local
prohibition which the Advance has uni
formly advocated. Let each State enact
a general liquor law, saying in substance
to the people of each county, (or each
township and village, if preferred) :
Whenever, by a majority vote, you de
clare in favor of shutting up the rum-
shops within your borders, you shall
have authority to do so, and shall have
the power of the State at your back. In
this way each community can take its
choice between license and prohibition
or try both alternately, and one locality
need not wait tor another.
Alexander Hamilton, America's grand
est statesman, in his first Report as Sec
retary 01 the Ireasury, recommended
that duties for revenue be imposed on
four articles only: wine, distilled spirits.
tea and coffee. These duties he desired
to be imposed for no other purpose than
tor revenue. But Wm. L. Kelley and
his fellow-protectionists in Congress 1m
pose duties on about three thousand ar
ticles for every purpose except revenue,
And yet Hamilton knew more about
finances and taxation when he was six
teen than Kelley does at sixty. Ohio

The remarkable success which attended
our negotiation of the Loans of tlie Cen
tral Pacific Rii,roai Company and tlie
Western Pacific Railroad Company,
and the popularity and credit which tbee
Loans have maintained In the markets,
both In this country and Europe, have
shown that the First Mortgage Bonds of
wisely-located and honorably-managed
Railroads are promptly reuoguized and
readily taken asthemostsuitable.safe.and
advantageous form oflnvestment, yielding
a more liberal income than can hereafter be
derived from Government Bonds, and
available to take their place.
Assured that, In the selection and nrgo
tlatlou of superior Railroad Loans, we are
meeting a great public want, and rendering
a valuable service both to the holders of
Capital and to those great National works
of internal improvement whose Intrinsic
merit and substantial character entitle
them to the use of Capital and the confi
dence of investors we now offer with
special confidence and satisfaction the
F1EST MORTGAGE BO.D
CHESAPEAKE & OHIO
Railroad Company.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Jiailroad, con
necting the Atlantic coat and the magnifi
cent harbors of the Chesapeake Bay with
the Ohio River at a point of reliable navi
gation, and thus, with the entire Railroad
system and water transportation of the
great West and SourTi-west, forms the ad
ditional East and West Trunk Line,
so imperatively demanded for the accom
modation of the immense and rapidly
growing transportation between the Atlan
tic seaboard and Europe on the one huncl,
and the great producing regions of the Ohio
and Mississippi Valleys on the other.
Tlie importance of tills Road n a
new outlet front the West to the se&
magnifies it Into one of national conse
quence, and Insures to it an extensive
through traffic from the day of its comple
tion ; while. In the development of the ex
tensive agricultural and mineral resources
of Virginia and West Virginia, It possesses,
along its own Una, the elements of a lurge
and profitable local business.
Thus the great interests, both geuenil and
local, which demand the completion of 'he
Chesapeake and Ohio Railkoao to the
Ohio River, afford the surest guarumce of
Its success and value, ud render It the
moat Important and substantial Rail
road enterprise now in progress in
this Country.
Its superiority as an East and West route,
and the promise of an immense and profit
able trade awaiting lis completion, have
drawn to it the attention and co-operation
of promiueut Capitalists and Ruilroad men
of this City of sound Judgment and known
integrity, who.-e connection with It, to
gether with that or eminent cliizens and
business men of Virginia and West Vir
ginia, Insures an energetic, -tonorable,
a.i 1 successful management.
The road is completed and in operation
from Richmoud to the celebrated White
Sulphur Springs of West Viruinla, 227 miles,
and there remain but 200 miles (now par
tially cou8trucied) to be completed, to carry
it to the proposed terminus on the Ohio
River at, or near, the mouth of the Big
Saudy River, 130 miles above Cincinnati,
and itoO miles below Pittsburg.
Lines are now projected or In progress
through Ohio aud Kentucky lo this point,
which will conned the Cheaapeake and
Ohio with the entire Railroad systems
of the Weat and South weat, and with
the Pacific Railroad.
Its valuable franchises and superior ad
vantages will place the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company among the richest and
most powerful and trustworthy corpora
Hons of the country : and there exists a
present value, in completed road and
work done, equal to the cut ire amonut
ofthemortgage.
The details of the Loan have been ar
ranged with special reference to the wants
of all classes of Investors, and combine the
various features of convenience, safety,
ana protection against loss or fraud.
The Bonds are In denominations of
