lavish uses of the public money. MS these items
betray. that the annual expenses of the govern
ment have attained under Democratic manage
ment the enormous amount of seventy millions
of dollars.

BURIED IL A WELL "A distressing accident
occurred at Copake Flats, Columbia County, y.
Y. on Thursday. Cornelius Winters, a laborer.
with lnrge family, vas digging we'll on his
premises, and after he had exeavated to the depth
of twenty feet, a mass of 9ucksand fell in aud
buried him,ju.t covering his head from sight. An
assistant removed the earth from about him rs
far down as his hips. when "a second covered him
mp To the neck Another attempt was made,
aud this time the man, who held out most wor-
derfuliy in his pcrilnus situation, took hold of
the shovel himself to assist in the labor of extri
cation. although some five hours had elapsed
snce his first burial. But, while the last few
shorels were being removed, and almost before
the neghbors, who were assisting to remove him,
could escape, still another huge mass # earth
caved down and covered the poor man six
feet deep. producing death, of course, before any
steps could be taken to cxhume him. His friends
worked most of the night, and on Friday his body
was taken out in mutilatcd state.

Gentlemen. 1 thank you for your
kind invitation to attend your celebration
of Eaaklin'S birthday. Since | received
your note, l have looked forward with
pleasure to the 18th of January, but to
my sincere regret, | now find that my
business arrangements, and other lmpor-
tant duties, will not allow me to be ab-
sent from home TO morrow. lregret this
for various reasons, but eSpectdHJ because
I feel anxious that the printers, editors,
and publishers of Easton and Allentown
should meet once year and be together
as friends and neighbors. We both live
in old Northampton-an important part
of the Keystone State. Think it very de-
sirable that we be on good terms and Ia
Dor harmonously for the common good.
With great respect, l remain yours,

Gentlemen Your kind and compll-

not find language to express my regret
that an arrangement previously made, re-

you IN person, on the coming festival. L
respectfully offer the following sentiment

sake of the Union"
