" Good Advice to Business Men 1i
r - It is an established fact,thatJheMer
chants,and business "men of JtOAva can.c-
tukny get lugger pkturtsxit upon their
than can be done in Upper' Sandusky; It
would therefore,1 be advisable for these
people to get there work done in N. York
and thereby get bigger pictures and save
cost.' : We were told by a friend that he
was asked the question, "why didn't you
get your bills printed in Cincinnati?"
"You could get' them cheaper." ' We
would also ask, why don't we all buy our?
ffoods m New York or Cincinnati? We
could get a better article for less money
than can be bought at the stores fa this
place! We only mention these facts to
show the inconsistency of men who go
abroad to get work done.
'r Let there be ho press in Upper Sandus
ky for a few years and then the benefits
of 4 press could be seen and would be felt.
If a press is of any earthly use to this
town, why don't you get your work done
here in place of going abroad to get it
done? We might point out many incon
sistencies in some of the business men of
our town, but will leave them for another
occasion. But before closing this article,
.wewillsay that there is a vast deal more
difference between the prices received for
goods in this town and New York or Cin
cinnati than there is between the prices
of printing here and in either of those
places.
FRIDAY SUPPEK.
This evening a grand supper and. slight
jolification is to come at the Exchange
Hotel, kept by. Mr. More, as kind of
celebration over the arrival of the loco
motive in our town. This interesting and
long expected period has at last arrived,
and now we can look at the Bull-jine
sending forth his sparks and hear the
whistle blowing its warning notes to pre
pare us for the reception of our friends
and fellow travelers, who come rolling
along, with almost lightning speed.
. The occasion will undoubtedly be a
happy one; and we hope all who are pre
sent, will have perfect old-fashioned en
joyment. It is not to be wondered at
our having a merry time over the great
change in our mode of travel, and the
progress of : our country. Letthc old
foggies cry, woh! woh! but head it not.
We will be happy to see some of our
friends, who thought this road was going
to ruin the country, coming in on the cars,
with smiling faces. We know they will
change their opinions in regard to the
advantages of this great enterprise. j
Two per cent, won't half pay the business!
done on the Pensylvania, Ohio and India- i
na road when it is completed. What do
wise people think of this prediction ?
Free Ride on Our Road!
It is currently reported that we are to
have a free ride on our road this evening.
Good ! the car is on the track, and now
we can go abroad in double quick time.
Who would walk, ride horse back, go in
old hacks, or any other way than on the
cars, when they have got a railroad to ride
on? Oh! throw 'way your old-fashioned
mode of traveling and go by the lightning
train, this evening. Come along toys and
see the cars, and help make the occasion
lively. Who cares for expense?
' Vote for Senator.

of the Crawford Forum, has taken upon
himself the liberty of discontinuing a
paper that he had been sending to some
person, free of charge, and that some ob
jections are made to his course in conse
quence thereof. Mr. B. do you not know
that printers' have no right to do anyth
ing of that kind? You ought to under
stand your business better thn this.
Send that paper right along again, and do
not discontinue it until so ordered.: We
never heard of a printer taking such an
outrageous step before. It is all wrong.

To Our Farmers ! Read More ! f
pLasTj week wecalled &e .attention df
bur Farmers to the excellent speech, pf
Horace GreelV; a delivered va( the In
diana; State Fair. HTo-dajr we finish the
speech and &ope our farmers will read it.
IIerinxtract- from the- speech
that we want to impress, particularly on
r the minds of the Farmers of Wyandot
county, as we have so many ot this class,
that take '.no paper Hear, what Mr-G.
says of those who can't afford to take pa
pers! ' The , idea is ridiculous, for every
man spends foolishly for things that does
him no. good, ten fold more money than
a half dozen papers will cost. But read
the extract: r "-' " , . '
Let me linger still on this topic of book
farming, and " pile illustration on illustra
tion of its true character and manifold ad
vantages. You may tell me that this is
needless, but I know better? since I know
there arc tens of thousands of farmers in
every quarter nay, right here in Indiana
some of them, I doubt not, now-before
mc -who take no Agricultural paper
nay, no paper at all! because they think
they can't afford U! that it has no other
than a speculative or fancy value for their
use that they would be the poorer for ta
king it! Now I maintain that no farmer
or artisan that can read can really afford
to do without at least three weekly news
papers one to bring him the general
news, politics and social movements of his
time; another to teach him whatever of
discovery, invention or improvement may
from time to time be made in his own pur
suits or calling; and the third to keep him
advised of whatever of interest may trans
pire in his own locality or county. He
may be so very poor and inefficient that he
is justified in obtaining two of these by
exchanges with his equally luckless neigh
bors; but these three he should at least
read every week, because he cannot afford
to be without the intelligence they bring
him. -And, Avhile there are thousands who
are bringing up sons for farmers and
daughters for housewives without taking
a periodical or even owning a book that
treats of farming or Housewifery, it is ab
surd to say that this stupid prejudice
against book-farming has been already
sufficiently dealt with since it is this day
so potent and mischievous.'
Again, you will hear men say, they
have no time to read. These same men
that have rib time to read, spend more
time idely each week than would be ne
cessary to read a dozen papers. These
are facts that every day developes them
selves to the reflecting mind. . Then, we
say, no nore of your frivilous excuses.
Take the paper and read it, and you will
be that much wiser every week. Greely
says: -
But let us pause at that word Industry.
"By Industry we thrive," is an old saw,
which is very well in its place; but the
truth contained in proverbs isvso curtly ex
pressed that it often misleads more than it
directs. Industry is indeed essential to
thrift, and farmers, like other men, often
need to be reminded of it. Whenlnotie
one who is overwhelmed with "business,"
which calls him away from home two or
three days in each week, and keeps him
hanging about the tavern or store while
his boys are at play and his potatoes cry
ing for the hoe, I know whither that far
mer is tending, and can guess about how
long he will have any land to mismanage.
And I think that, in the average, farmers
waste more hours than machines. They
have more idle time not necessarily, but
quite commonly so regarded through
bad weather, severe cold, too much wet,
&c. than falls to the iot of almost any oth
er class; and it is very easy to allure many
of them away to shoot at other men's tur
kies when they should be growing food for
their own. . But while many waste pre
cious hours, quite as much through heed
lessness and want of system as indolence,
I know another class who slave themselves
out of comfort and out of thought by in
cessant, excessive drugery, who are so
absorbed in obtaining the means of living
that they never find time to live who
drive through the day so that their bones
and their minds are foggy at night; and
are so overworked through the week that
they can neither Avorship God nor enjoy
the society of their families on the Sab
bath. These men will often tell you they
have no time to read, which is just as ra
tional as for the captain of a steamship to
plead a want of time to consult his com
pass and chart or keep a reckoning of his
ship's progress. No time to read! do
they not find time to plant and sow, ; to
reap and mow, and even to eat and sleep?
If they do, then they may find time, if
they will, to learn how to apply their la
bor to the best advantage as well as to
qualify themselves by rest and refresh -
ment for working at all. I venture the
assertion that there are twenty thousand
farmers in Indiana who would have been
wealthier as well as more useful, more i e
spected and happier men this day, if they
had abstracted ten hours per week from
labor during all their adult life, and de
voted those hours to reading and thought,
in part with a view to improvementin their
own vocation, but in part also looking to
higher and nobler ends than even this.
Some men waste the better part of their
lives in dissipation and idleness; but this
docs not excuse in others the waste of time
equally precious in mere animal effort to
heap up goods and comforts which we
must leave behind so soon and forever.'
Telegraph to Bucyrus.
The citizens of Bucyrus are now exult
ing over their lightning connection with
the "world and the rest of mankind." -Well,
it is something to exult about, af
ter being behind the age of progress so
long. We are every day expecting
wheji we will be put in connection , with
Bucyrus by railroad and telegraph, and
therefore the "world and rcstof mankind."
The Forum savs:
"We are now connected with "all the
World and the rest of mankind" by both
Telegraph and Railroad. A telegraph
line has been completed to this place,
which is to extend along the line of the
Railroad irom Crestline to Chicago. At
Crestline it connects with the line to Pitts
burgh, and lines both North and South
This will be a great benefit to our people
and business men in particular; and we
thinkan office in this place will pay rea
sonably well." .-.

24th day of November is the time desig
nated for 'this worship. The Governor
"Another year" is drawing 'to a" close.

"I would, therefore, most respectfully,
but earnestly, recommend to the good
people of Ohio, that, laying aside their
ordinary occupations, and refraning from
every employment that is inconsistant
with the exercise of religious observances

eminently favored." .
Louisville Journal. A friend of ours
handed us that paper yesterday morning.
The enterprising editors and proprietors
of the Journal met with a heavy loss,
which we hope they may soon make up.
We wish that paper success in everything
but politics, and from appearances, it is
not very successful in that particular. It
appears in one of the editorials that the
whole establishment has been burnt.
But this does not discourage the enter
prising men at the helm of that sheet, for
after the fire of October 27th, they say:
"On Thursday night last, the office of
the Louisville Journal was consumed by
fire. The value of our property destroy
ed was many thousand of dollars. A por
tion of it was covered by insurance, but
a very considerable part was not. The
avails of years of hard labor have been
swept suddenly and unexpectedly away.
One pecuniary calamity has followed
closely upon another, and our only con
solation is in the consciousness that they
are not ascribable to any fault of our
own.
We are under the necessity of publish
ing the Journal for the present under a
smaller sheet than we have been using
heretofore, for our fine presses were all
destroyed by the fire, and there is not
now a press in the city capable ot print
ing solarge a paper as either of our weekly
or our daily has been. We have tele
graphed to New York for a press of the
same size as that which we have lost, but
some weeks must of course elapse before
Ave can obtain it, and, in the mean time,
the best we can do is to adapt our sheet to
the largest press that we can find in Lou
isville. Our readers, we are sure, will be
satisfied with this arrangement. Just as
soon as possible, certainly within a very
few weeks, we shall issue a paper of the
old size and in the old form. Our friends
will of course he gratified to see, that
such a lamentable disaster as has now be
fallen the Journal, the greatest except
the loss ot character that could befall a
newspaper, does not render even a tem
porary suspension necessary, and we take
pride in assuring them, that, if our whole
establishment were to be destroyed ten
times a year, not one of the ten catastro
phes would cause its suspension for a sin
gle week.
Situations. The Louisville Journal,
in speaking of situations, has the follow-
ino: good hits:
Mr. Lippmcott, of Washington City,
as we mentioned last week, recently gave
up a poor situation for a very fine one.:
tie gave up the situation ot a nine hund
red dollar clerk lor that ot husband to
Grace Greenwood. Mr. Geo. W. Cutter,
far less fortunate, lost two good situation
in rapid succession, that of husband to

j3T The following is from the Cincin
nati Enq., of the 4thinst:
"George W. Kendall, editor of the N.
Orleans Picayune, called upon us vester
day. He is on his way to N;w Orleans,
how long to remain there is a matter to be
settled by himself. Kendall is as restless
in his corporeal constitution, as is his mind
in its vast intellectual flights. The earth
appears too limited for either; no spot up
on it, but has borne the impress of his
foot, no lover of literature but has been
charmed by the brilliant lucubrations of
his brain. And yet, with all the wear
and tear of body and mind, he looks
younger than he did ten years ago."
Marrying. The Louisville Journal,
says of a practice in relation to publish
mg marriages:
"The fashion is becoming everywhere
prevalent ot enclosing a dollar to the pnn
ter when sending a marriage notice. It
is highly probable that some gentlemen
may hesitate to fall into the fashion es
pecially if they apprehend that they havn't
married very well.
The fashion is not prevalent in this re
gion of country, as we are amply quali
fied to swear.

Books.- We have received f rom Messrs
pe Witt and Davenport, publishers 160
ndil62, Nassau street, New York, books
notices of which follow. . '
Helen Mulgrave; or, Jesuit Execu
torship. There is, probably, no class of
works which so entirely absorb the atten
tion, and imbue the mind with the lessons
they iuculcateas those 'which portray, in
clear and natural language, without any
attempt at rhetorical .flourishes, or con
strained effort at effect, incidents . in the
eventful history of "some person of whom
we can say to ourselves, "this is just like i
Mr. Mrs. So-and-So." , It is their very
naturulntss which constitutes their charm
For with books as with persons to be
admired they must be natural;, It was this
ff . 'u.re which created such enthusiasm in
iavor of the works of rCurry Bell, and,
WJj. they divested of this peculiar char
acteristic, they would be robbed of all
that interested us. We arc led to make
these remarks from the perusal of the
excellent work, the title of which is given
above, and are really glad that our friends
De Witt & Davenport have been so for
tunate in enlisting the pens of such clev
er writers as Miss Sinclair and the author
of this work, to arouse the reading pub
ic to a sense of the gradual enbroach-
ments of a power alike destructive to
the moral and intellectual energies of a

cure this work at once, for we are well
assured that it will prove a profitable
investment of both time and money.
The Monk's Revenge ; or, the Secret
Enemy. The occurrences narrated in this
Romance belong to a time and scene well
adapted to engage the interest of the
reader. Two forms of society are brought
beneath his eye; the different faith and
manners of two hostile people are display
ed before him in their ceaseless variety.
The cross and the crescent, the turban
and the helmet, the lance and the cimeter,
the steel coat and the silken caftan jare
thrown together in friendly and hostile
encounter. The splendor of Eastern
magnificence, and the sterner chivalry of
the West are here contrasted and compar
ed. The gloomy magnificence of Amuruth
H., the wild impetuosity of Mahomet,
the conqueror of Constantinople, are set
in array against the gallant king of Po
land and Hungary, and nis renown
ed general, the White Knight of Tran
sylvania. The wiles of Italian policy and
lust have their representative in the
haughty Cardinal Juliani, and the spirit
of settled revenge in his foe, the Monk
Francisco. In combining these various
elements, the author has entwined them
with a plot of intense interest, which
spreads its ramifications through these
apparently discordant materials and ren
ders them a well-connected whole. The
interest with which the "narrative com
mences is kept perpetually, on the increase
no pause occurs in the current of events
until it reaches the final catastrophe.
Edenburgh Magazine.

jtSTA party of citizens have arrived at
St. Louis from the Plains. They went
out with Major Fitzpatrick who was sent

The Forces of the Two Nations.
A London correspondent of the Xalional
Intelligencer says that a late calculation re
specting the military power of Russia
makes the l forces which the Czar could
employ in a European Avar, without the
reserve, the local garrissons, or the army
in the Caucasus being in any way reduced,
to consist of 568 battalions of infantry,
468 squadrons of cavalry, and 996 guns;
or, in - other words, in the eventuality of
a EuropeaiAvar, Russia could operate with
a force of ' 400,000 men and 1,000 guns,
without laying itself open to Great Brit
ain, Sweden, or to the Caucasus. Incase
of a great war, Russia could operate, by
means of her first, second and third re
serves, and the Cossack and Tartar forces,
Avith one million of coaibatants and with
1,800 guns. This is an estimate of a
Prussian officer of great experience on the
point in question.
The Ncav York Cower does not look
upon Russia as so formidable, taking the
ground that as Turkey maintained a hard
contest Avith Russia twenty-five years ago,
she will maintain a far harder one noAv.-
Then she had a rcArenuc of tAventy millions
of dollars an army of but thirty-two
thousand men, unorganized and Avithout
tried generals no fleet, for her fleet had
been destroyed at Navarino, all her Chris
tian population in a state of insubordina
tion on account of the recent Avar with
Greece, Egypt her enemy, and Syria
and Arabia under the control of Meho
ment Ali. Now she has twice the reve
nue an army six times as large, thor
oughly equipped, Avell disciplined, ably of
ficered a powerful fleet almost the en
tire Christian population enthusiastically
m her favor all the Mahometan race of
Northern Africa and Western Asia ma
king common cause with her.
Russia is hardly more powerful now
than then. Her fleet has not materially
increased. She then had a hundred thou
sand Circassians in her arms; noAv, every
Pole in her army, and six thousand men
are required to keep these Circassians in
check. If she had no wealth then, she
has but little noAv, and but limited credit.
A spirit of desertion pen-adesthe Russian
troops in the Pj-incipalities, so that there
has already been a necessity of withdraw
ing the regular cavalry tAvo marches from
the Danube, and replacing them with Cos
sacks. , The cholera is making havoc in
the Southern army; and as far as relates
to commissariat and hospital accommoda
tions, Russia is nowinmuch the same con
dition as in the last war, when she lost
150,000 men and 50,000 horses by dis
ease and hunger alone. Beside all this,
the Russian forces, on the ground, are ab
solutely inferior in numbers to the Turkish,
and the season i.i too far adA'rnced to al
low material reinforcement. Cin. Enq.
Who will have Constantinople!
The Paris correspondent of the Xation-
al Intelligencer seem to think that among
the great Powers of Europe there will soon
be a scramble for Constantinople. He
says:
"The Ottoman Empire is, there can be
no doubt of it, approaching its dissolution.
It must soon be broken up. Constantino
ple, commanding as it does the Black Sea
and the Mediterranean, is a capital point.
It will perhaps determine the naval supe
riority of -jurope in favor of the nation
who, in the partition of the territory of
the falling Empire, shall ultimately pos
sess it. There are three great and power
ful rival nations, Russia, France and Ensr
land, which would most gladly possess it;
it must almost inevitably fall to the lot of
one of them. It seems to me clear that
it must also be force which is to determine
the one of them .which is to be its lucky
possessor. They could never pacifically
and diplomatically agree upon this point.
Passing events prove this clearly enough.
It requires the union of France and Eng
land to keep Russia from seizing it. Were
Russia even out of the question, France
and England would soon come to blows
upon the question of its possession. Let
either of the three once get possession of
Constantinople and the Dardanelles, and
in the present state of naval and military
science possession could probably be main
tained. Now, I have only to say, in view
of all this, that if I were a British Minis
ter, I should very quietly, but very vigi
lantly, see to it that the British naval force
in those seas should be always kept a little
superior to that of the French."
Mail Robbery.
At Cleveland, on Thursday, a mail bag
was found in a frieght car, with a larg
number of opened letters, which, from
the evidences, was dispatched from New
f York on the 18th October, for Indiana
polis.
The bill accompanying the bag calls for
ninety seven letters, none of which are
missing. All but twelve letters are bro
ken open, and it is a little singular that
every letter Avas opened with care, and
the contents returned in each instance to
the right envelope. Among them are
found seA'eral checks, promissory notes, a
land Avarrant for 1G0 rcres, a pension Avar
rant for 40 acres, a receipt upon a life in
surance policy from the NeAV York Life
Insurance Company, and two policies
from the Providence Insurance Company
(Nos. 1924 and 1225,) one for 85,000
and the other for 8225. None of the let
ters speak of money, and it is highly prob
able the thief got nothing for his pains.

Damages for Seduction.
In Russelville, all last week, there was
an exciting trial in one of the Courts, in
Avhich Dr. .Thomas B. Greenly Avas prose
cuted by Thos. Kelley, for the seduction
of his daughter, Miss Malvina. Dama
ges were laid at $5,000, and the charge
made that to effect his purpose the doctor
had administered cantharides to the jrirl.
The Louisville Democrat says:
When she entered the court-house,
quite an effecting scene ensued. OA-er-come
by the novelty of her position and
the terrible trial she was about to under
0TO. She sank down, and in an snirKKt.!
voice, offered up a fervent petition to the
throne, of Grace, to stand bv 1,,-r twi
hour of trial and difficulty. During the
prayer a perfect silence pervaded the
house, and many an eye, "unused to the
melting mood." shed copious tears. She
then told her tale of woe, in a simple, un
adorned manner. The administerinrr of
cantharides was abundantly proven, yet
great contrariety of opinion existed as to
whether it would produce the effect as
charged. The trial continued from Tues
day until Saturday evening, when the jury
returned a verdict of 500 damages for
the plaintiff.

Carlyle on Woman's Rights. Tho,
Carlyle, in his forthcoming work on Fred
erick the Great, discourses thus upon mod
ern woman's rights movements:
"Woman, woman- thou wantest thy
rights,' as I understand. : If AAe all had
our 'rights,' Avho wonld escape a whip
ping? Not beaten by thongs nor by heav
ier men's hands, but beaten by their OAvn
tongue, lashed by their OAvn tongue, pro
claimed by their OAvn tongue lift thy
forehead to the world, and know thy
shame -let it blaze upon thy frontlets,
Avoman -lecturer; let the universe behold
it, woman stump-orator! But thou wife,
but thou mother, but thou sweetheart, but
thou sister believe that 'rights' and 'des
erts' are not to be brazenly canvassed in
the streets in market places, in editorial
rooms, in lecture halls." . .
After reading the Democratic majorities
to a friend, the Dispatch, of Hillsboro,
says, he inquired. "Was there any op
position to this ticket?" We ansAvered,
"Yes, the Whig party, in Convention,
regularly nominated candidates to various
offices to which the above have been elected
as did also the Freesoil party, all of whom
receiA'ed a few scattering votes!" "Then,
said he, "I would suggest to those Avhocast
the scatter ing votes, the propriety of tender
ing to those gentleman the same courtesy
a Whig did of the President and Vice
President after that election, Aiz: make a
motion that they be proclaimed unani
mously elected." We leave it with those
nterested. O. Statesman.
jS3TTo "presen e the State" and keep
our moral SAveet, has ever been the argu
ment Avhich poAver has made use of to jus
tify its oppression of the humble. To pre
serve the public morals of Italy, the Pope
has converted the whole country into vast
prison-houses, talking as dangerous as
counterfeiting. To "preserve the State,"
Austria is guilty of kidnapping, and looks
upon the eccidental meeting of "three or
more persons" in a corner as a matter of
sufficient atrocity to be shot down as an
insurrection.
j3T"Which causes a Avoman the most

above for debate. When the decision is
received, we will issue'an extra and four
