A Market House,

BY the suggestion of some of our coun-
try people, we again speak of this matter,
and do urge our citizens to look seriously
into the necessity of speedily building q
convenient and comfortable Market House,
for the accommodation of those that wish
to purchase edibles for their families. As
it is now, many families are compelled tc
do without such luxuries as could other
wise be had, if there was place Of this
description, where our farmers would be
certain of finding sale for their articles OF
marketing At present there is no GER
tainty when, or of the place where one can
buy pound Of butter, or dozen of eggs,
or the least thing in the produce line, for
when tits brought in it is taken to the stores
and shops, or hawked about the place,
which has given to the sellers SO much
trouble that they have nearly given up the
idea of supplying the town with these
necessares of life. With these facts be.
fore us, why not urge the speedy erection
of Market House, thus giving every one
an equal chance to purchase what he
wants

FrightfuI Railroad Accident.

The Troy Times gives the following
account OF an accident on the 18th ult.,
at Shushan, on the Troy and Rutland
Railroad, New York:
AS the train came IN sight of covered
bridge, one mile north of ShuShan, the
engineer saw man on the top of the
bridge, motioning for him to stop. lie
Immediately reversed the engine with a
full throttle, and whistIed down brakes.
By the time the engine got to the farther
end of the bridge, the train came to a
dead stop, and the bridge then went down
10 the right, carrying the train with it,
The bridge was about l20 feet long and
crossed the -BattenkiI; it was some five
feet from the water and the water is now
from four 10 six feet deep The train
consists of engine, baggage car and one
passenger car. The train and bridge
lay promiscuously about the river, both
being mass of ruins. .-..
There were about thirty passengers
aboard. The bridge was undergoing re-
pairs, and there was one of the workmen
on top Of the bridge; the other men were
somewhere on or about the bridge,
When the train struck the bridge, the
engineer and fireman saw tha! it was
gong down with them, they dropped
down against The boiler, and SO went
down with the engine and bridge.
The mail agent tried TO open the door,
but could not, so they went down. The
baggage master and brakesman went
down on the platform, and though there
was no use in Jumping, as it was sure
death any iway. The passengers and
men got out through the rubbish and

Horrible Affair in Urbana.

The Ohio State Journal relates the fol-
lowing:
On Friday last, Judge Williams, Of
Union Co., at one time Associate Judge
Of that county, while in state of intoxi-
cation, seated himself on the railroad
track, in the vicinity of Urbana, and was
knocked off the track by freight train,
and his foot crushed in such manner
that amputation had to be resorted to the
same night. We learn that Judge Will
liams died last night from the effects of
injuries received az that time. 1t is due
to the engineer of the train to say when
he found the person would not leave the
track, he reversed his engine and jumped
off and endeavored to run ahead of his
machine to save Mr.. Williams, but mis-.
sed it by not more than two steps. The
Judge leaves wife and children to
mourn his loss.

nor will he make any efforts to attain it.
If, however, it is conferred upon him, he
will accept it. We hope he will be elect

that there is no sectionalism among north.

WHEAT CRop OF ONO. Professor
MapeS.-At the recent State Fair of In.
diana, Prof Mapes, of New Jersey, re-
peated a statement heretofore made BY
him, that the wheat crop of Ohio and
Acw York had fallen from thirty and
thirty five to twelve and fifteen bushels
per acre.
Our friend, Col, Harris, of the Ohio
CuIlivator, has taken up the cudgel ia
defence of Ohio. and makes two points I:
lSt. The average wheat crop Of Chic
was aeUer thirty bushels per acre.
Cd. The average per acre of wheat in
Ohio, among the majority of our good
farmers, was never better than it is now.
The Colonel discusses these PROPOSE.
tions fully, aud leaves the impression on
our mind that he has sustained them by
facts. lie has taken much pains to ar
rive at the truth. Added to a residence
OF twenty yeOrs in the State, and a very
general travel at various times oyor it,
he has sought the opinion OF Gen. Wor.
thington, President OF the State Board of
Agriculture, and who has been intimate
ly acquainted with The State since bis
boy hood. He said, without hesitation,
that the average per acre of wheat in
Ohio How, is fully equal to that of any
former period. Al the Club meeting of
members of the Legislature, two years
ago. he also made special inquiry OF
them, and their experience and obaerva.
lon fully confirmed that OF Gen. Wor-
lhington.
We think Prof Mapes must bring forth
his data, or back out, and admit that he
has libeled the agriculture Of Ohio.
