The Ohio Legis lature does not meet next year, and so was compelled to elect a Senator at this session. John G. Sinclair, the Democratic candi date for Governor of New Hampshire, was a violent opponent of soldiers voting during the war. In the Legislature, in 1864, he said : “The Democracy of the country will never submit to the result of an election decided ngainst them by soldiers’ votes.” The Lexington (Ky.)

We sco that many of tho Eastern jour nals are falling into the exploded error that Hon. Thomas Ewing is the father in law of Lieutenant General Shot-man. Tho nearest this comes to being truo is the fact that Lieutenant General Sherman’s wifo and the wife of General Ewing, son of Thomas, are sisters. Clarence J.

One of the wealthiest men in Canada in vested $1,200,000 at one per cent, in Eng land to keep it out of the way of the Fenians. He almost wishes it back again now. Eugenie has had so many American friends that she has become passionately fond of shopping—a vice which generally exists in perfection ouly in American cities. The Chinese in Idaho City are suffering. The whites are so poor that it doesn’t pay to steal from them, and John Chinaman can't pay his taxes. Ridiculous as it may appear, Now York jewellers keep men whose sole duty it is to travel over the city aud wind up elock3 for the lazy people. The gross receipts of six theatres in New Orleans for the year 1867, as reported to the Internal Revenue Department, amounted to $422,394, estimated in greenbacks.

In view- oi the recent statement of the New York World that General Grant is not a church-going man, it is worth while to recall the fact that he is not only a regular attendant at the Wesleyan Chapel, but gave SIO,OOO towards the Metropolitan Methodist Churi.h, now being erected at the capital. From Boston to lowa, a terrible snow storm, accompanied with a furious prevailed Sunday and a portion of Monday. The railroads were much blocked up, and the (rains impeded iu various places.

Concerning “hollerin’’ in meeting, Aunt Judy, an old colored woman, said to one of her sisters : “ ’Taint de rale grace, honey, ’taint de sure glory ; you hollers too loud.

In appearance, he bears a striking resemblance to the lutnous General, and is as reticent in conversation. Fie is passionately fond of fast horses, and enjoys the reputation of being an excellent “whip.” One ol the latest novelties in England is a dinner on anti scorbutic principles.
