sTDREADFUL ACCIDENT AND Loss OF
LlFE.-At the recent celebra ton Of the
opening of the Chic and Mississippi
Railroad to Seymour, an appalling acci-
dent occurred. The train from Aurora,
when nearing the Seymour depot, was
firing salutes from a cannon, which was
attached to the last platform on the train.
A small furnace, used in heating the rod
with which the cannon was set off, Law
close by the breech Of the gun, and the
wind, it is supposed, blew spark of this
fire into the chest where about keg or
two of powder had been empsied. An in
stantaneous explosion was the conse-
quence, and six men, who were on the
car at the time, were blown into the air
and horribly mangled. Recent intelligence
from Aurora announce the deaths ol
three of the sufferers. Their names
are R. P. Squib, John Bodley, end Henry
Doolan. Doolan was deranged for seve-
raj hours prev ious to his death.

By the above is appears that Mr.. Linds-

over either Mr.. Brewer or Mr.. Bushnell,
but not majority over both of them.
We believe that a majority of the town.
ships have elec'ed delegates favorable to

regret that we are unable to give the vote

AS regards County Officers, the Demo
cracy have been particularly fortunate in
lheir selections. Messrs. Myers and Viii.
liams, have served one term in their re-
spective offices, and have given univer-
sal satisfaction by their close attention to
business, and their strict adherence to
what they deemed their duty. They
are men of unquestioned character, and
must make excellent officers. The same
may be said Of Messrs. Scranton and
Huston. Probably there is no man in

NFCoNTINENTAL MoNEY.-A quanti-
ty of this obsolete currency was received
by Mr.. Guthrie, Secretary of the Treasu-
ry the other day, having been sent .hi,her
for redemption. 1t is we'll known the
British manufactured large quantities of
counterfei's and issued them gratuitousIy
in all parts of the country in order to de-.
preciale the Colonial money !; and also
that when the Federal Congress passed
an act redeeming the money of the Con-
tinental Congress, runners who were "a.
miliar with the money traversed every
part and redeemed all offered at par value,
it is consequently probable most of the
Continent al money we hear of being in
possession of families in different places
belongs to the spurious issues. It's true
the British succeeded in de7recia,ing this
money SO that it became comparatively
worthless, but it only went to prove the
heroes of '76 could fight wi.hou. m oney
and without price.
