OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY JfcsSStuder's Columbus and to lh9 weekly Ohio State Journal,, One Year for Two Dollars andjnfjyCnts! LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY. ' ! 1 ' Constitutional Convention. ' March 27. A considerable number of pe- litionB for suppressive legislation in reference to the liquor traffic was presented Consideration of the report on Corporations other " than Municipal was resumed, and the indi- vidual liability scctiou was adopted in the same form as that of the present Constitution. Section five, relating to the condemnation of property, was adopted as reported. Section si i, a agreed to, provides for submitting to . a vote of the people any act authorizing the issue of hills, notes, or other paper which may circulate as money. The cumulative , voting question came up again during consideration of Section seven, but failed to elicit an indorsement of the system A resolution to adjourn from Friday, April 3, to Tuesday, April 7, was adopted, i ' ; ' General Assembly. March 28. Small The General Appropriation bill was taken up nnd amendments reported from committee considered seriatim. Several of the amendments were agreed to without change, and will be found in detail in the official report. The General Appropriation bill was made a special order for Monday, at 3 p. m The annual report of the Agricultural College Trustees was received from the Governor. ., . , . Jlome The House, without transacting any business of importance, adjourned early in the day. It is reported unofficially that the proposition of the City Council, offering the United States Government the west Bide of the City Hall building for a postoffice, has been accepted. No official notification to that effect has been received. A notice of the work " Satan in Society," is unavoidably deferred. It is proper .to say, meantime, that the work seems ' free from the objectionable features of ' most of its kind, and is the work of an accomplished physician, for many years isor in a leading medical college. Dr. Hamilton has so far overcome his lifelong repugnance to doing anything contrary to the interest or Inclination of Dr. Loving, as to be an independent candidate for School Board in the Eighth ward. That ward is favored above most wards in the State of Ohio, in having choice of Biich material as it has before it. Wk have Home very interesting correspondence from Egypt which shall appear goon as possible. Two letters. Also, a letter from Mrs. M. V. Dahl-gren.Also, a letter from our regular Boston correspondent. Also, a letter from St. Augustine, Florida.Also, a letter from New OrleanB. Also, a letter giving a good description of the Hoosac Tunnel. To all correspondent we are forced to say, be brief boil it down. i - We should be glad to copy in full a rather knotty letter Jin the Sunday Com mercial, addressed personally to the editor of the State Journal, by Captain W. J, Vance, Washington correspondent of the .Commercial. But it is so long as to be entirely beyond our reach, with Congress, the Constitutional Convention, the State Legislature, the Supreme Court, the Wo- men's War and three or four investigate log commissions all raging at once. , The letter shall receive due attention as soon as time will permit, by the courtesy of the editor of the Commercial where it ap-. pears. Lucia is unquestionably di Murska' greatest part. And di Muraka is undoubt- edly the greatest Lucia we have ever had in this country, or the critic are all mis. taken. If the whole surrounding coun try doe not pour in to see the grand performance they will mis an opportunity such as does not come twice in a lifetime. We are permitted to whisper that di Mnreka, unlike tome of the prions who are. somewhat known socially ' here, la J exceedingly sweet tempered aad obliging. -, As an instance, eh eang the magnificent aria from the Magic Flute at Cincinnati after going through Martha. Such was the magnetic power of her rendition, even after such an arduous night's work, that not foot etirred to leave the house, until a perfect thunderstorm of applause had called her out, and she sang the aria throagh the second time, with even mere enthusiastic power than at first. Let no one fail to ee her. She is really and truly grand. "How Hot to Do It. ' The Senate bill of Mr. Thompson prp riding for a reclamation of the swamp and canal lands, their appraisement ana sale, and an appropriation of the income from the proceeds to the support or the Agricultural and Mechanical College, was referred to the standing committee on the Judiciary early in the session. It has not ret been reDorted upon. The bill is one of some importance to the public. ' If it be true, as is said, that these are lands belonging to the State, not needed for the use of the publio works, mat are vacant, neither yielding product of any kind, or paying taxes, the matter is proper one for legislative action. ' But jt is likely that the weightier matters of the Democratic party, such as the redisrict ing of the State, have absorbed the attention pi the majority of the conrtniHee. If we are fljfitlj iformed tbTH f Mr. Thompson embnuWlhe jirovisioiis af the House bill, which passed the Senate last session by a vote of more than four to one, and which was killed in the House by a certainJobby influence, and the ac tive"" opposition of certain influential Democrats in the Honse. One object of the bill is to make better, proyisionor the support of the college. The State, by its own neglect,. has lost the unappropriated, swamp lands, so that they have lapsed or fallen back to the United States ; 23,000 acres of those lands were sold by the United States, and it is presumed that -the main body of them were long since covered by land scrip and warrants. H4"t !.":': L'2 , - An act of Congress, passed Jttarcn it, 1855. appropriates to the States entitled to swamp land, the proceeds of all sales, and in case of entries made by scrip or warrant 'gives the: State an einal number of acres of land scrip, to be locatedupon any lands of the United StateB open to entry at $1.25 an acre, upon certain proofs being made before the Commissioner oi the General Land Office, as required by the act of March, 1855. Mr. Thompson's bill provides for mak ing this proof and securing to the State whatever belongs to her, in respect to the canal lands as well as the swamp lands. It is generally known that the records, plats, etc., of the canal lands proper, and the swamp lands, were destroyed with the burning of the land office at Defiance in 1850. These lands have never been, restored to record, so that the State has official record evidence of but a small portion of them. The recovery of these lands, and the appropriation of their proceeds to the advancement of learning and the promotion of agriculture and the industrial arts, is a matter of trilling consequence in comparison to the weighty matters of legislation brought forth by- the patriotic labors of the Democratic caucus. If Mr. Thomp- i . - i' .Ui. i k- son's Dill Baa . not ijeen rappmn ur some caucus resolution, it would have been acted upon by the Judiciary committee of the Senate long ago, and reported back in the regular course of business. It is well known that some of the canal lands are valuable, and ought to yield some income to the State, or to the Public Works. ' No income from that source is mentioned in spy report that we have seen. And yet the Democracy are not " Bourbons "they claim to be progressive. We can atiord very little Bpaco to the bad tempered clack of Saturday afternoon, where a small audience had an opportunity to see how like a common scold even a crusader can talk, when subjected to a little wholesome and judicious criticism. The touch of Ithuriel's spear did not effect a more sudden and com plete transformation than a hint of the possible fallibility of a female manager, whose spectacular performances seemed to many fervent Christians a' mockery of the spirit of prayer. We pass by the at-, tempt to excite a crusade ; against business, because we have had the candor to speak out what was in so many minds. If we had lived in the time of Titus Oates and had expressed a doubt of " the Plot," it could hardly have gone worse with us. We ex pected nothing less. It is anything but pleaeant to stand up against snch abuses of personal liberty, the right of opinion, the name of religion and the office of prayer as had been gradually developed in the bad handling of a most potent and praiseworthy instrumentality. We expected to be denounced, to have our business interests assaulted, to have every accessory of terrorism held, over us to punish the free expression of candid opinion which is guaranteed to every man in this country. We were not mistaken. We shall be able to take care of ourselves in this. It will not be so onesided an affair as some seem to imagine. It is most gratifying to be able to say i the other hand that a large num ber of the men whose good opinion is best worth having, have personally tendered . assurances of sympa-pathy with our views, and thanks for their expression. We have permission ii we choose to use the names of some of the gentlemen, who are among the most earnest Christiana, as well as most emin ent citizens, of Columbus. Their sym pathy and approval were' never more grateful than now, when so many seem to have lost their, reason in this mad state of excitement. We do not yet de spair of much more good being accomplished by the noble women who are really forgetful of self and devoted heart and soul to the work, if it can be rescued from the hands of those who are made it a vehicle for display of spectacular mummeries, executed at the tap of bell, and with theatrical marches and posturing. In the name of all who are most earnest and devoted and self- forgetting among Christian men and women, we protest against such making broad the phylacteries, snch praying to be seen of men, such intolerance and rainglorions self-conceit, such arrogance of opinion, such unlovely terrorism over the free consciences of men who dare doubt the infallibility of managing women. , ' - '- BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OEJO STATE JOURNAL 'tntPRESSIVB OBSEQUIES. Funeral of Darius Tall malice, At Lancaster, wnner Maaswls Auspi ret- Touching: Tribute to the memory of an Esteemed Cltlsen.1 Bjiecial to the Ohio State Journal. : Lancaster, O., March 29. The funer al obsequies of the late Darius Tallmadge took place this afternoon, under the aus pices of the Knights Templar order of Masons.. - Special trains arrived from Co lumbus, Zanesville and Ciroleville, all bringing large delegations of the Knights Templar and other citizens, while numerous carriage loads came from Logan and tne smaller towns in me iiuiucumuj viviu- 'A early as half-past one o'clock the Talllnadge House, where the remains of Mr. Tallmadge lay in state, was turuugeu with both residents and friends from abroad. The following honorary members of the order of Masons andgentle-men-of the deceased' own age were selected to act as pall bearers :. JF. A. Fob-tor Jnhn K. Brasee. John Mason. Daniel Keller, David Huber, Walter McFarland, Jacob Beck, Wm. Kippey, John M. Ash-brook,'G. Wilson, D. Sittbrd, of Fairfield county, and Mr. J. T. Bartlett, J. J. Jan- ney, Lfcptain Menon, ana juage a. o. Cox, of Columbus. At the designated hour, the pall bearers and the Knights Templar, including the Columbus, Zanesville and Lancaster Commanderies, together with lodges from Cincinnati and Salem, under the marshal-ship of Wm. Noble esq., of this city, and the relatives of the deceased, with hundreds and hundreds of friends, assembled at the Tallmadge House to view for the laRt time all that was mortal of a great and good man, and to escort him to, his earthly resting place. The burial casket was of rosewood, with heavy Bilver mountings, and lined with white satin. A wreath of white japonicas and other flowers inclosing an evergreen letter T. was placed upon the casket near the head. This wreath was presented by Mrs. M. A, Daugherty, who is a cousin of the first wife of the deceased, who was regarded by him almost as a daughter, and whose marriage took place at his residence. The young ladies of the city contributed a crescent of evergreen, on which was a star ingeniously wrought from laurels, in the center of which was a half open calla, the gift of Mrs. tien. Ewing. This lovely design was emblematic of the great life in reverent tribute to which it was paid, a life truly like this snow-white blossom, that hod been but half opened in its exceeding brightness and beauty to the eyes of the world before the fell Btroke of Death cut it down. Ample opportunity having been allowed for all who desired to look upon the face of the dead, the coffin was closed, taken to the hearse and the solemn cortege started for the church, where thousands had already asBembled. Heading the procession were the KnightB Templar and Masons, followed by the hearse and relatives of the family, who, in turn, were followed by visitors and a long procession of workingmen and former employes of the deceased. The usual funeral services were performed, Key. J. R. Boyd, Rev. J. H. Crcighton and Rev. Mr. Daniels officiating. The Rev. Mr. Boyd, Presbyterian minister, delivered a most admirable address, thanking those present for according to the deceased these last rites, and animadverting upon the countless good qualities of the dead and the irreparable loss Lancaster had sustained by the death of this worthy old citizen. When these ceremonies hud closed, the Masonic services were performed, the long procession reformed, and the mournful march was taken up to the Lancaster cemetery. At the grave the Masonic ritual was conducted by Judge Virgil Shaw, Past Master of the Lancaster Command-ery, in compliance with a request made by Mr. Tallmndge before his death. Alter this the coffin was lowered into the grave, the evergreen spray dropped npon the lid, and with a fervent prayer Darius Tallmadge was left to his last long rest. CONGREGATIONALISM. Decision or Ibe Brooklyn Council Disciplinary Belntlon ofC'bnrcb-es-Acliou- or Plymouth tborcb Kevlcwed. New York, March 29. The following is the text of the decision rendered by the Congregational Council after a secret session of two days and a half. This Council has listened carefully to committees of the churches by which it was convened, and has received from them a clear and earnest statement of the aims and principles which have determined the action of the churches in the proceedings which they ask us to review. We have also received from Plymouth Church a communication declining an invitation from this Council as well as from these two churches to ap-near, bv its pastor and committee, and assist in the presentation and discussion of questions before ub, but at the same lime uiieni'K ftcnLi,"m l(uu,lu" which we have carefully and candidly considered. We cannot doubt the right of these two churches to ask advice of us mniwrninir the regularity and Christian character of what they have done in deal ing with Plymouth Churcn. There has been laid before us a series of letters that have passed between these two churches and Plymouth Church. On that correspondence it is our unquestionable right to nave an upimuu iuu e&praw it, though we have no right to try Plymouth einirrh s a party before us. We have to say, then,thatthe letter of remonstrance and admonition witu wnicn me correspondence began was not uncalled for. In Plrmnnth Church a complaint was brought against a member that he had circulated and promoted Bcandals derogatory to the Christian integrity oi tne pastor and iniurious to the reputation of the church. The person complained of ap peared in a church meeting and declared f. . r Lf .1 I 1 1 that, lour years ueiore tnai time ue uui by his own volition terminated his connection with the church, and therefore his name was by vote or the whole church dronoed from the catalogue of its mem hers, i hat action oi riymoutn inurcn wm the occasion on which these two churches interposed with a remonstrance, and with a request lor lnenoiy conference. In this act they represented the interests of the fraternity of Congre gational churches, whose principles of discipline and whose fair Christian fame were enaangerea oy me count wnicn Plymouth Church seemed to be pursuing. For this moral heroism they deserve thanks, even should errors of judgment be traceable in the details of their procedure.An ingenious explanation of the reasons which had prompted Plymouth Church to rid itself of an offending member by an exceptional method might have brought the correspondence to an early and happy termination. We can see no sufficient reason why the -request of the com Dinning churches tor a fraternal con ference should not have been granted. In subsequent correspondence, we see on the part of the complaining churches, an expression of their desire to unite with Plymouth church in referring points of dinerence to the advice of the Uouncil. The idea of membership in a Congre gational Church is the idea of a covenant between the individual member and the church, that by virtue of that covenant the member is responsible to the church for his conformity to the -law of Chirst. and the church is responsible tor him, and that this responsibility does not' cease till the church, by some formal and corporate act, has declared the dissolution of the covenant. This covenant may be brok-ken by the member. He may offend, and wnen duty admonished may give no satisfactory evidence of repentance. In that case he is cut off from communion. The church having given its testimony . is no longer responsible for him, and he can be restored only by removal of censure. Voluntary absence of a resident member from' the communion of a church and from its public worship does not dissolve the covenant, but is a reasonable ground of admonition, and, if persisted in, ot omcial censure. ' ' When a regular complaint is made against such a .member that in some other respect he violates the law of Christ, and especially when the complaint is that he lias circulated and promoted scandals derogatory to the Christian integrity of the pastor and injurious to the reputation of the church, the consideration that he has long ago forsaken the church is only an aggravation of his alleged fault. i , It is stated Irom reliable authority that the final vote giving the result of the Council was as follows : 87 voted for the result as it stands, 8 voted against it, and 23 refused to vote at all. In Plymouth Church, while its members regard much of the Council's final vote as not sound, yet in general they consider it an entire vindication of the liberty of Plymouth Church, and are greatly rejoiced over it. After the morning services at Clinton Avenue Church, Rev. Leonard Bacon, Moderator of the late Council, read its de cision to the people, but in nymoutn Church, where Rev. Henry Ward Beecher preached, not the slightest allusion was made toit. SOLDIERS AGAINST STRIKERS.

CAMBRIDGE CREW TRIUMPH ANT. , : - London. March 28. The annual race between Oxford and Cambridge came off this morning over the usual course on the Thames, from Putney to Mortlake, a dis tance of four miles and two furlongs, and, 9 WW wjc vane 111 W1C final, luut ;wo. ic- ulted in a victory for the Cambridge boat by four lengths. . : The weather was beautiful and the crowd unprecedented. " Un the (Surrey side ot the river, lor the whole length of the course, there was a compact tdass of people one hundred and fifty feet deep, and at Mortlake carriages were in long lines nve deep, the frin- cess qf Wales and Dacheaa of Edinburg were abseqt. Cambridge won the choice of position, and took the Middlesex or northern side. The Oxford crew rowed into the stream at one minute past 11. Five minutes later the Cambridge crew appeared, and were received with immense cheering. The belting at this time was live to one in favor of, Cambridge. At fourteen minutes past it the signal to start was given and the boats got away together. Cambridge had the advantage from the first, rowing at the rate of thirty-seven strokes per minute, but both crews pulled steadily. After an exciting contest, Cambridge reached the ship at Mortlake at thirtyseven minutes and thir-tyfive seconds past 11, winniug the race in twentythree minutes and thirty five seconds. The water, though not as smooth as was desirable, was fairly calm. Immediately upon receiving the word to start, both boats took water simultane ously, but after a few strokes Cambridge was a quarter ot a length in advance, ana at Bishop' Creek, three furlongs from the aqueduct bridge starting point, nearly clear of their opponents. Here the steer ing ol both boats became eccentric, ana the time was bad in consequence. Again, between Graver Point and Hammersmith bridge, the coxswain of Oxford steered wildly. Off Crab Tree, seven furlongs from Bishop's Creek, Oxford took the lead of Cambridge by a spurt, and at the soap works, about one mile and four fur longs from the aqueduct bridge, was only one length behind the Cantabs. At Hammersmith bridge Cambridge lost nan a length by bad steering, but off the Doves again went ahead fast. The dark blues made another spurt and drew up nearly level with the Cantabs, and off Cheswick Church succeeded in getting one quarter of a length in advance. The excitement now became intense, and cheerupon cheer went up from the Oxford's supporters. In Corncy Reach, about two miles and a half from the aqueduct bridge, Cambridge took the lead again and passed Barnes's bridge, about nine rurlongs neyona uorney neacu, a length and a half ahead. Here Oxford rowed wildly, and cam- bridge kept the lead to the end, reaching the stake-boat at Mortlake about four lengths in advance of their opponents, amid the deafening cheers of the crowds on Bhore. Both crews were very mucu exhausted, but Oxford appeared the most distressed. Tin evening the victors and their op ponents dine together nt the Criterion Restaurant, the Oxford crew having declined an invitation of Lord Mayor Lusk to both crews to dine in the Mansion House.''.

Obituary Notice, Associated with Home Intereatlng History f Early Times In Ohio. Correspondence of the Ohio Stat Journal. Lancaster, O., March 28, 1874. Darius Tallmadge was born on the 30th of June, 1800, in Schagticoke, Ransellaer county, New York, and died at hia rooms, in the Tallmadge House, Lancaster, Ohio, about 5 o'clock on the morning of March 27,1874. Mr. Tallmadge was the youngest of a family of fourteen children, and was left an orphan when but ten years of age. He was a direct descendant of one of four brothers who emigrated from Wales to this country, and who are supposed to be the progenitors of all the Tallniadges in the United States. One of these brothers settled in New Jersey, striking from the family patronymic one of the l's and the d. irom this branch the prominent Brooklyn minister, the Rev. De Witt Tal- mage, sprang. After being thus cast upon his own resources at such an early age, the inherent energy and resolution in young Tall madge a nature began to manliest itsell in the occupations and duties of active life. His first employment was that of a team ster, hauling brick during the construc tion of the great cotton lactory ot Schagticoke, and when but twelve years of age he was engaged in wagoning goods from Troy to Whitehall, a distance of one hundred miles. His next venture was that of a "tiller of the soil" on the farm of an elder brother; but he was not long in dis covering the incongruity ot this avocation, and at the age of fourteen, to appropriate his own language, he became "quite tired of farming, and restless, anxious to get away and see if something would not present itself that would enable him to make money a little faster." Disregard ing the remonstrances of his brother, this aspiring and indomitable youth bade farewell to the old farmstead and began a pilgrimage alike remarkable, eventful and creditable. His first "rest by the wayside" was at the residence of an uncle in Dutchess county, New York. Here, to his amaze ment, be was solicited to take charge ot the district school, and although having had but limited educational advantages himself, with characteristic self-confi dence, he had the presumption to en throne hunnelt the sovereign ot this little kingdom, in his unique way soon estab lishing himself as a successful abedna- rian. lie held this honorable and dignified position for two quarters, when, imuuU niiuc uumbuu.iM.M. iiuiuiiKj n abandoned pedagogics and returned to farming. We will now leave a hiatus in his life and join him again in his peregrinations in 1825, when, in company with a friend, be started on foot for the Far West, as Ohio and Kentucky in those distant days were denominated. On reaching the Allegheny river, thev purchased a skiff and continued their journey down this stream until arriving at fittsburg. Here they disposed of their staunch little craft, and took passage on a keelboat down la belle ticiere, arriving at Mays- vi lie, Kentucky, on the nrst ot April, 1825. Here Mr. Tallmadge at once engaged in driving horses to the New Orleans market, but the emoluments of several trips proving so meagre and insignificant, he relinquished that business as destitute as when he be gan. However, through the generosity ol a kind Kentucky gentleman, by the name of Bianchard, he purchased a horse and dray, with which he labored for (ix months, at the expiration of which time he came to Tarleton, Ohio, and began again the business of buying and driving horses to New Orleans. In Clinton county he came in contact with Mr. Nell, of the Ohio Stage Co., and after brief negotiation he was employed at a salary of $400 a year to stock that road with horses. Mr. Tallmadge was now felicitated with the thought that he had reached the goal of his youtbtul aspirations. - The old, unsubduable yearning he had felt while assiduously endeavoring to extract a subsistence from the granite and feldspar of the old farm on the Hudson had left his heart, and visions, all bright and glorious, were numerous in tbe perspective. . His untiring industry, unswerving fidelity and habitual promptitude were such that his efforts were soon materially felt at the headquarters of the Stage Company, and his salary accordingly took a leap to $1200 a year, and his field expanded so as to cover half the Slate. After serving as agent for a period of twelve years he took an interest iu the company, and also became sole proprietor of what the com pany deemed tneir poor contract in Southern Ohio, and from which, by unremitting labor and attention, he reaped a munibcent harvest Mr. JNeil, who bad invested but $300 in this enterprise, being his silent partner for thirty years, and retiring with a share of $25,000, in addition to the heavy dividends he had received in tbe meanwhile. Mr. Tallmadge subse quently became entire owner of the Ohio Stage Company stock. V hen staging in Ohio began to collapse a a remunerative business, the nrst clink of the golden gavel of the far-off Cali fornia was heard, and Mr. Tallmadge, always among the first to appreciate the opening of any new and lucrative enter prise, ent one hundred horses "across tbe plains" and fifty stages "around the cape" to that country of fabulous treasures. In 1847 Mr. Tallmadge projected a branch of the State Bank of Ohio in the town of Lancaster, of which he served as President and a member of the State Board of Control of the State Bank itself during the existence of its charter, and by his nicety of management in monetary matter was reputed to be one of the moat accurate financiers in the state. Mr. Tallmadge passed ander several periods of personal pecuniary embarrassment, any one of which alone would have crushed an ordinary man. But he surmounted all these adversities, and in his later years not only recovered his own financial prosperity, but was foremost with money and labor in carrying out all public enterprises for the benefit of his town. It waa through hi individual instigation and exertion that the magnificent mineral resources of Hocking and Perry counties were first opened up, and he waa ever in the front rank with voice, band and money in the consummation of any public interest. For more than forty years, it may be truly said, Lancaster 'never had a citizen who gave more attention and labor to its ma terial advancement, or employment to more men needing it because of their im-pecuniosity. Mr. Tallmadge was active in an public enterprises, aiding tbe improvement of the town which has now grown into a beautiful city. Much of the prevailing taste exhibited here, much that is beautiful and healthful in artificial additions to tbe natural advantages of the city, have resulted from the examples - and the labors of I Mr. Tallmadge, in 'really , being , the pioneer in these matters. He was exceedingly benevolent, especially in middle life. Hi private charities were boun-. tiful. Churches and benevolent societies ever found him more than liberal. Want ot education alone interfered with a demonstration of a moBt remarkable natural power of mind. He would have been great in any sphere, but could show his great natural canacitiea nnlv In tho practical pursuits ot life. A man of strong prejudices, firm convictions, intense in Purpose. lar0A hpnrl. all-Ann will and of the most unimpeachable integrity, ue was aino and true to his friends, wuue unrelenting to enemies. He was a fit representative of the pioneer clnm coming to the West and who have made utiio what it is. Mr. Tallmadee's first wife died in 1849. ana iaie in tbe autumn of 1600 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Creed (daughter of John M. Creed esa.. of Lancantur. Ohio), who still survives him, as does also a son by his first wife, Mr. T. W. Tallmadge, a-well known citizen of Co lumbus, Ohio. ' On last Saturday afternoon Mr. Tall-madge's voice waa heard in public for the last time. It was on the occasion of the Temperance mass meeting, and the address delivered by him was replete with natural force and logic, and in eloquent advocacy of the women's movement. Among the numerous illustrious citizens of Lancaster, the death of no one has caused a more profound and unequivocal demonstration of sorrow than has the de mise of Mr. Tallmadge. His towering form and cheery voice will be missed, and a long, long time go by before memory ripples away to the shores of forgetfulness, or the place he has so long occupied in the hearts of this community be ade quately filled. S. G. V. G. ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS. Columbus Natural History Society. Ibis society met on Saturday afternoon in the State Agricultural rooms, and there held its first regular session. The President (Dr. Townshcnd), as his inaugural address, read a paper on range, extent, object and necessity of Natural History societies. Brief as was the paper it was entirely too full of excellent points to attempt making an abstract of it. A somewhat longer paper was read by H. Klippart on the bones of the Platygonus CompreBsus found last April at the intersection of Columbus and Montgomery streets. In the course of the paper reference was made to roughly sketched charts, showing the local geology of Columbus. Mr. Klippart exhibited a hyacinth grown in a blue bulb glass, and another one grown in an amber colored gloss ; demonstrating the influence of the different colors on the growth of plants. The bulb placed in the blue glass was origi nally an inferior bulb, but it grew and produced a truss of flowers of twice the dimensions of the better bulb in tbe am ber glass. ' Prof. Tuttle gave a verbal account of an investigation made by himself and Dr. Townshend, of the Agricultural College, of the Strongylus filaria in sheep. Th'iB is an internal parasite causing the white skin and loss of fleece, as well as death in sheep. He was requested to prepare a paper on this topic to be read at the next meeting. After making proper arrangements for a "field day" for the society, it adjourned, after electing as members Rev. Mr. Slid-ham, Dr. Frankenburg and Mr. Stevenson, of the Public Schools. Pence Warrant. Justice Martin had a case last Friday that was rather touching in its character. Lawrence R. Christian, a man known as associate in gambling circles, was brought up by his wife on a peace war rant. Tbe parties have been married for about ten years, during which time, the wife claims, Christian has never bought for her a single dollar's worth of clothing, or anything else. Her mother lives with her on West Long street. Christian is not at home much of the time, running about from place to place no one know where, and as to his business there is the same ignorance, some time ago he was committed to jail in Newark for some petty offense. A few days ago he came home drunk and commenced abusing his : wife. He threatened to kill her; said he had come to do it, and would not leave town until he had taken her life. Alarmed at the situation, the woman got out a warrant and hod her refractory husband brought before the Justice Friday for trial. He appeared, but waived examination, and was bound over to the Court of Common Pleas nnder a bond of $500. He received the legal admonition to keep the peace nntil the time of trial. The woman appeared in the Court nicely dressed, and maintained an air of earnest perseverance; while the husband, in an intoxicated condition, paid no attention whatever to the presence of his persecuted wife. , Almost Burned t Death. On last Thursday jt daughter of Joseph Stuart, aged ntteen years, living near Worthington, came near losing her life by being burned. The fire caught in her clothes from a stove on which she was popping corn. She ran into the yard, where she was assisted in fighting the flames by a stranger who happened along at the time, but they were both unsuccess ful in puttiug out the fire until she was burned so badly that there are still doubt about her recovery. Png-lllsm. On Saturday morning last two mechanics, named Charley Davis and Mike Boy Ien, living in the North End, got into a dispute about some trivial matter, and concluded to settle the affair according to pugilistic rale. They went np the Olen- tangy near the bolt factory, and went in for a scramble. Inside of fifty minutes sixteen rounds were fought, and by that time Davis "hollered enough" and Boy- len was given the belt. Atlantic and Lake Erie Hallway.
