MELANCHOLY AccIDENT.-The fol-
lowing particulars of the accident by
which our young friend, Mr.. CoRw1N
BENTLEY, was seriously, if not fatally in
iured, are from the Jackson Standard
Mr.. Bently is the son of Mr.. A. Bently'
of Gallia Furnace:
On Tuesday afternoon last, Mr.. Cor
win Bentley, Clerk at the Eagle Furnace,
was thrown from his Sulkey and very
seriously injured. From the facts, as
far as we can learn, it appears that one
of the wheels of his Sulkey ran into a
rut hole, which caused him to fall, and
in falling out, became entangled in some
part of the rigging, when the horse took
fright and ran away, dragging him,
about half mile, when the horse be-
came extricated from the harness there
by relieving the unfortunate man from
his horrible situation. His injuries are
indescribable, his face being tore in
horrible manner, his nose entirely of,
besides his body being horribly bruised
and lacerated. There can be no positive
conclusion as to how the accident took
place, as there was no one near when it
took place. The unfortunate young
man is not expected to live.
We regret to hear that Mr.. BENTLEY
has since died of the injuries received.
His funeral was attended on Monday
last.

TIE NEW LIQUOR LAws.-Afer tn
election last fall and when it was mad
certain that liquor law embracing al
the features of the Maine law, coulc
not receive the support of a majority o
the members of the Legislature elect
writing upon this subject, we expressed
the hope that the then next Legislature
would give the people '4aw which
shall restrict, if not destroy, the abuses
of the traffic in Intoxicating liquors in
this State"
The Legislature has held its Session
and adjourned, and among the very few
acts that are in any way creditable to
the good sense and honesty of that
body, or that will tend to raise the re-
menberance of its existence above con-
tempt with the people, are the two laws
on this subject of liquor-the one pro
viding against the evils resulting from
the sale, which we published last week,
and the one providing against the sale
of adulterated liquors, which will be
found in this number of our paper
These laws are short, and easily under
stood; comprehensive in their provi-
sions and severe in their penalties
showing no mercy to tiplers, immediate
annihilation to tipling shops, and swift
destruction to bad whisky. Here is, if
not the Maine Statute, at least a law
which, if strictly inforced, will strike
killing blow at the traffic, and stay the
desolation caused by poisoned whisky.
1t is now the duty of the people to
see that these laws are fairly and faith
fully carried into execution. Let it be
distinctly understood from the very first,
that whenever there is a violation there
will follow the penalty. 1t viii be less
difficult now to compel the observance
of these acts, than after continued viola
tons have been tolerated. We believe
that the great majority of our citizens
will lend aid and favor in enforcing obe-
dience, and if we do net enjoy the prac-
teal effects of the executions of these
laws, it will be the fault of those who
have been heretofore most clamorous i,
for stringent liquor inactments.

The scarcity Of silver-change, and the
high rate of FIVE per cent, premium there
on at which we are all forced to buy it, is
inducing unprincipled persons to hoard it
up, and thereby materially increase the
evil. To remedy this state of things in
some measure, and 10 fetch it forth. from

To contemplate the evil to trade, it IS
only necessary to apply figures. Suppose
a customer to buy twenty cents worth Of
an article land if its smaller, yet worse
and to hand forth one dollar bill in pay

in silver which is worth five per cent; the
article has been sold not at twenty but
sixteen cents. We have paid that custo-
mer not five per cent. but t,centy .fve per

this not horrid imposition? The adop-
ting of the rule have proposed appears
to be the only remedy. And it is just and
none can complain of it. We shall no

gentlemen come to town with ten or TWEEN

The lecture Tuesday evening before
the Young Mems Mercantile Library
Association was delivered by the Hon.
Samuel F. Vinton, of Gallipolis. Subject,
"The Conservative Influence of Com
merce on our System OF Government"
The lecture was a noble tribute to com
merce as the cemen,ng bond of union
between the different sections of our com.
mon country.
In other countries standing armies
were necessary; there was danger without
them. In this, commerce insured the
stability of government. Our forefath.
ers could not toresee what an end this
Western country, aided by science and
art, was destined to accomplish. The
benefcent influence of commerce binds
the East and West together by invinci-
BILE bonds.
To make the Union lasting is the mis-
sion OF commerce. The lecturer alluded
in happy terms to the great project OF the
Rail Road to the Pacific. There is a
great work to be accomplished by this
generation.
The new territories beyond the Rocky
Mountains, and new States being added
to The Union, the security Of the contin-
uance OF this mighty Empire in peace and
harmony. is to be found in commerce.
National expansion forms striking
contrast between the last and present
generation. But the more we get the
more we desire; and although we might
annex in safely the British Provinces o
the Canadas, inhabited mostly by those o
the same blood with ourselves; we should
hesitate to incorporate into this fedora

upon The Stage Of action once more, and
in so doing, comes out in an article IN
his newspaper, and blagguards the con-
tractor Of The mail route, between that
island and -Chilicothe, because of the
failure on the part Of said contractor, to
get the mails to that place. for few days
previous. Now the fact is we'll known TO
this community, that it is an utter imPos'

will, through his paper, induce the ci'l'
