Three t'lgbtiDf Deacon.
The Cleveland Pluindculcr is responsible
fur the following:
In a small tieighborltood in Genugu
county live three deacons. The lii'st is a
Methodist, the second u Presbyterian, and
the third a Hnptist. All live quite a dis
tnnce from their respective meeting houses,
tntd ns the traveling is excessively bad at
this time of year, they conaJuded to hold
mating in the red school liotiso in t!io
niglilmrhood. The ques'ion t'ien arose
w.iieh d. nomination should hold the first
meeting. The Mothod st chimed tuo priv
ilege of opening the bull. The Presby
terian denianed it. The Bnptist insisted
upon it. Here was a " fix."
They wrangled over the mutter until the
dander of each deacon urose to fever heat,
an.l cneh vowed ho would hold a meeting
at the red sclioolhouse the very next cvi
niitg, which happened to bo Friday lust,
and on that evening at early candlc-liglit
the sclioolhouse was crowded with Meth
odists, Presbyterians, Baptists, and seven. 1
world's people.
The Presbyterian commenced reading a
catechism. The Baptist, at the 6.11110 time,
arose and commenced reading a tract on
immersion. The Methodist, at the same
time, struck up an old fuhioned hymn,
shouting it forth at the top of his lun.zs.
The effect was ludicrous. It apparently
struck tho mixed congrcgnt'on so, for they
all commenced laughing. The Baptist wus
wheezy. He sank exhausted into his seat,
while the Presbyterian and Methodist con
tinued. All at once the litdicrousncss of
the scene struck the Baptist, and bo in
dulged in a protracted hone laugli. This
displeased the Presbyterian, and forgetting
himself, he dealt the Bnptist a stunning
blow under the right car. Tho Methodist
threw his hymn book down and ruthed to
the Baptist's rescue. He arrived just in
time to receive Presbyterian's iron first be
tween his eyes. The Baptist and Metho
dist rallied, and together attacked tho
Presbyterian, but be was too much for
them. The scene that ensued beggars de
scription. Chairs were overturned. Win-
tlor-jlnss was broken. Wora tn shrieked,

The old settlers of Kentucky ure familiar
with the name of Captain Christopher Mil
ler, lie was one of those bold and dualit
ies spirits to whom we are indebted for the
rescue of the State from the dominion of
the bold and bloodthirsty savage. History
has recorded many of his heroic deeds and
melancholy privations; but one of the most
thrilling and mysterious incidents in his
eventful life had never met our eyes until
we found it in Finley's Autobiography;
and, as many of our readers may never
have seen it, we will give a short uccouut
of it:
Christopher Miller and his brother Hen
ry wore taken prisoners by the Indian
when they wero quite young, and remained
with them until they had learned many of
the customs of those wild inhabitants of the
forest. They Were expert hunters, and had
learned to love tho savage freedom of their
captors. Ihey wero adopted into an Indi

hunting and fishing being thoir c hief ami
nlmost only employment. Finally, Henry
began, when about twcntr-lotir, to think of
returning to the white settlements; and he
mentioned his thought to Christopher, but
he would not think of returning with him:
so Henry set off alone, and after much suf
fering and privation he reached Kentucky,
whero he lived for several years; when, in
1794, the Indians becoming troublesome,
an expedition was gotten 11 1 under Gen.
Wayne to cha-ti 0 them. Henry joined
this expedition and set out with it. On I butcher, only when the doors opened to ad
the march, Gen. Wayne, in order to avoid mit a new fvurnec, or batch of victims, as
the possibility of an nmbuscade, ordered the French pleasantly called them. They

ville, having no intimation ns to the future
intentions of the subtle foe, determined to
send out Captain Wells and his daring
comrades to capture on Indian, in order
that through him the plans of the Indians
might be discovered. They accordingly
set out across the country, crossing St. Mu-
ry 8 and proceeding to tlis Auglaize, they
turned up the r.ver for several miles, when
the keen eyes of the rangers discovered
smoke. Hitching their horses, the gallant
little band left two of their party to gu.ird
them, while the utlur three, Henry Stiller
being one of them, crept nlo'ig in the direc
tion of the smoke, which they found to bo
0:1 an elevaicd piece of open ground, sur
rounded by three Indians engaged in roast
ing venison over the fire.
Thty ware uow far out of gunshot, and
our gallant rangers discovered a fullen tree
el unci which they thought they could ap
proach in gunshot of tho Iaiiians undiscov-
red, retraced tncir steps, and going around
trot the fullen tree (the top of which was
ovend witu leaves,) Dctwecu tlicm and ,
the enemy.
They then stole along ns lightly and I
noislcsslv as panthers, until they reached
the point desired. Here their plan was j
quickly arranged. It was agreed that Mil- j
r and one ol his comrades siioulu shoot
each his man, leaving the third, who was
swifter than an Indhin on loot, to give
chase to and capture the n uiniumg Indian.
Miller was to shoot the one on the right,
and his comrade the one on the left.
The sharp crack of two rifles was heard,
and the fated red men lay lifeless 011 the
ground.
Before the smoke had cleared away, the
reserve, one MeLcllnnd, was lar in the di
rection of the remaining Indian who
was doomed to be captured. The Indian
observed him ns he came bounding towards
him with the swiftness of a roebuck, and he
set off at the top of his speed. McClel
land was rapidly coming up with tl.e re
treating Indian, when coming to a bend in
tho river, the latter saw ho must be over
taken, nnd leaped off the bank into the riv
er, a distance of twenty feet, where he sank
up to his middle in the mud. McClelland
made a leap after him, nnd sunk down in

to answer any question asked him. He
was then washed, to rid him of his coat
of mnd, when it was discovered that they
had taken a white man instead of an In
dian. The party returned to their horses, nnd
began at once to retrace their steps toward
the camp at Greenville. On the journey
the prisoner continued moody and silent,
until Henry, recollecting that he had a
brother with the Indiaus, and thinking this

A contributor to the Atlantic Monthly
has taken pains to take up a number of cu-
r.ous accidents and incidents iu tho career
of Thomas Paine, the apostle of Liberty
and a'so of Unbelief. Here is an account
of how he got into a Put Man prison during
the Ileign of Terror, iu 171)3, and how by
a simple and lucky accident he was over
looked and escaped the guillotine: "After
some weeks of retired and listless life in
company with two Englishmen of liberal
republican sentiments, uud in the liight of
tho Reign of Terror, a Glo of armed mcu
came to arrest Paine. This was in Decem
ber, and by order of ltobespierre. On his
way to tho Luxeuibourgo, ho stopped at
Burlow's and left with him the first part of
the " Age of Reason," finished the day be
fore. The Americans in Paris applied to
tho Convention for Puine's release, offering
themselves as security for his good conduct

off tboir Petition wil'' 0 l,I,ru8e of the pris-
oucrs "Ah, citizens, do not give the
. leagued despots of Europe the plensure of
seeing Thomas Puine iu irous." Tho Con
vention, careless of the opinion of the
"leagued despots," replied that Puine wus
an Englishman. Ho was closely confined
and all communication with the outer world
cut off. The news reached these unfortu
nates, penned up like sheep waiting for tho

vile, mingled together, the very men he had
cursed in the garden of St. Dennis passed
before him liko the shadows of a magic lau
tern, entering at one side and gliding out
ut the other to death.

In July the carnage had reached its liight.
No man could count upon life for twenty
four hours. Tho tall, the wise, tho rover
end heads had been taken off, and now tho
humbler ones were insecuro upon their
shoulders. It seemed to Paine that Robes

Napoleon III. Theodore Parker writes '
from Rome, that just now tho two

prom-1
great '
work introducing a liberal schemo of
commercial intercourse. Really, Napole
ou the Little, as we used contemptuously
to cull him, seems to be the most states
manlike head in Europe, and is far wiser
than tho other Napoleon, who broke wick
edly with the ideas of the age, and so prop
erly was set down on that little rock at the
end of the world, to point the moral of
history nnd ndorn its tale. I dislike much
that Napoleon has done, but must con
fess an honest admiration for Ins efforts to
liberate Italy, and to advance the industri
al interests of Franco. A fter all, it is prol
ably true that his nation deserves no better
rule than he gives it, and is not capable of
more liberal institutions. Those Celtic

Love of Woman. It is as natural for
men to love women ns it is for sparks to
fly upward. We recollect of reading of a
king who had a son born to him. The as-
trologers predicted that ho would lose his
"'gbt if ho was permitted to sec tho light
before he hnd reached the age of ten years
on which account the king had him watchtd
nnd brought tip in dark caverns. After
the ten years were elapsed, he caused him
to bo brought out, and showed him the
world, and pluced before him many fnio
jewels and fair damsels telling him the
namo of every thing, and thut the damsc's
wero devils. Being asked what he liked
best, he replied, "The devils plenso mc
more than all the rceit." Then the king
marvelled greatly, suying, " What a pow
erful thing is female beauty t"
Ct'KK for a Felon. Having very
nearly lost a linger by one of those excru
ciating ills to which our flesh is heir; I feel
compelled by a sense of duty to proclaim
the following remedy. After suffering so

article. We do uot remember ever having

Aaron Burr was suspected of n treason
able intent; nnd be brcumo uu object of
scorn, contempt, and detestation. Tho
miilidictions of his countrymen follow.d
him even till he became old, uud bent, and
shrivelled; and the grave scan-cly sufficed
to shield him from the curse of the people.
A change has comu over us. Meu belub

and they have their defenders! Others burl
thunderbolts puny indeed u gainst tho
temple of the Union; and they Unci admir
ers 1 Contingencies are pitted aguiust tho
perpetuity of our institution, till many sit
down coldly to calculate their value.
Ood forgive them, and rectify their perver
ted couciciices before they plunge into ir
remediuble mini When fratricidal blood
shall run down tho gutters if our strcetc,
and crimson our hill-sides when riot and
ravage and woe shall be upon our woman,
and when trembling and horror shull abida
in every home then, at nil events, will
their eyes learn to see and thoir hearts to
feel the desolations they have brought up
on the fairest heritage thut Heaven ever
bestowed npou a nation; and they will be
glad to slink from the miserable chaos they
have creaecd, into a worse than fellou's
grave.
Tho Union! Can a sane man dare to
estimate its value? If there be a single in
felicity in it, is it strange? What earthly
blessing do we poscss that is absolutely '
perfect? Shall wo cut our throat been mo
a tooth aches shall we divorce our wife be
cause she has a mole oil her arm shall we

shall we kill our brother because his cot.

No, no no, uol The present spirit of
political nnd moral intolerance is but a res
urrection of a meik-cheekeJ, devil ryed,
personation of bigotry that centuries ago
shed martyr blood because nobler intellects
would not bow down to its own opinion-god.
Let it bo exercised. Let every true man
awake from his supiuenrss, nnd come to the,
rescue of the Constitution nnd tbe Union,
Let not a skeleton faction in any section of

BnoDEnitK's Ghave. On 'Mount Ver

Mountain Cemetery, is situated tho grave
of Broderiek. It is but a short distance
from the principal entrance to the grounds
on thi! eastern side. The gravo is In tho

Tho grave itself is inclosed by a railing four
feet square, which was erected by the direc
tion of Win. MeKibben. Last Sunday, a
number of ladies and gentlemen visited the
grave, ond completely covered the enclo
sure with flowers of all kinds. Thus the
memory of tho lamented doud keeps fresh
and green with thoso who claimed friend
ship and common humanity with the 'iron
man' while living.
A Voter for Washington. One of
our respected citizens, Dr. Karl Bill, suys
tho Sandusky Register, who is in his nine
tieth year, voted at tho recent election in
Sandusky. He cast his first voto fnr
Oeorgo Washington for President. Ir.
Bill was formerly a resident of Oneida
county, State of New York, where ha
lived many years ond is extensively known.
Although so fur advanced in life he enjoys
tolerable health, bis mental faculties being
but little impaired.
Can wo realize that this Republic is no
older than that? That there is one among
us living uud exercising the right of a free
man who voted for our first President?

have tho United States made within tho
memory of that man, nnd how must he ba

when the veruiet was announced, mewnon
crowd of spectators rose to their feet and
gave vent to tho most hearty approbation,
t&" Tho New York correspondent of
the Mobile Register, a Democratic organ,
thus writes:
"JeflVson Davis, C. C. Clay, A. O.
Brown, and other Southern Democrats,
who make Seward's homo a sort of head
quarters, will tell you that Seward will
make a better Southern President than any
man, not of the Koiith; that they will sv
derhandedly support him by defeating
Douglas. Privately, Mr. Buchanan sent s
person to Mr. Seward with a list of names
now holding office that tbe President Is in
terested in."
Open vs. Covered Drains. Mr. M'chi
thns explains the reason wby covered drains
are so mnch more effectual than open ones:
" A deep open ditch will not draiu th ad.
joining soil, because, when the aides are.
dry, tho water rises up towards lha surfaco.
by rnpilbiry attraction, and thus beads
back th3 water behind it. Put pipes into
the bottom of this ditch, fill it np, sod i
will tVo drain, tht adjoining soil."
