A MOTHER AND Son DRowNED.--A Mrs.
Taylor, residing near Brooklyn lake, in Din
widdie county, Virginia, and son nine years
old, were drowned last Friday morning under
the following circumstances, says the Sussex
Herald: The lad was making an effort to
reach hat that had fallen into the water, when
he lost his equilibrium and was precipitated
into the lake. A younger brother being pres
ent gave the alarm to the parents, which caused
Mrs. Taylor to hasten to the place in state of
uncomfortable fright. She Immediately waded
into the lake to reach her drowning child, but
unfortunately went too far, and was also drown
ing when Mr.. Taylor arrived at the place,
which was but few moments after she left
the dwelling. He Immediately plunged into
the lake and swan to Mis-. Taylor, but being
seized with fit of cramp came near perish
ing with the others, but succeeded in reach
ing the shore again, leaving his wife and son
to the sad fate of drowning within few feet
of the shore

0EFWe invite attention to Gov. Moreheads
Inaugural. 1t will be found on the outside,
and is well worthy of perusal. He is very
brief but patriotic and strong. Kentucky will
never regret the election of Morehead, whole
souled and big hearted american, to the place
he now fills. Gov Powell, who has just re-
tired from office, made an excellent Governor.
He was not only all that could be asked OF
such an officer so far as the discharge of his
duties was concerned, but he amply and gen.
erously illustrated Kentucky hospitality. No
man ever dispensed more freely and with more
cordial pohteness, the courtesies of position to
friends and strangers.

Great Re-Unisn.

All the old students and professors yet liv-
ing, of the Woodward College, Cincinnati, are
invited to be present at Grand Re- Union at
the ancient edifice, on the 9th day of this
month. The college buildings were to be torn
down to make room for new and splendid ed
ifice and it has been determined to have a re-
union of the scholars and professors before the
old building is Frustrated. We are one of the
woodward High School boys" as the stu
dents were all known the city over in olden
times for good or evil, and we would give our
best hat, boots and breeches to be at that re-
union. Scarcely week passes, but the light
of some old Woodward High School boys face
breaks upon US. The good old fellows are
scattered everywhere and with every hearty
salutation, every shake of the hand, every smile
of greeting, no matter where the meeting, be-
fore our eyes appears with these men the Wis
ion of Ray, or Aydelotte, or Prescott, or
Matthews, or some other old loved and well-re-
membered tutor.
While at Cincinnati, few weeks ago, we
approached a crowd of five young men, and
not so very young either, perhaps. 'Here
comes one of the Woodward High School boys, y
they sung out, and sure enough we were with
five old fellow students. That little knot
gathered to an even dozen before it separated,
and one fellow was kicked out because he had
never been so fortunate as to be called Wood
ward High School boy We received then a
cordial invite to this reunion, and most heart
lily do we regret the present abbreviated pros
pect of being able to accept. But our heart,
Powered around with rosy memories, will be
with the Woodward High School boys on that
day.

to distinguished visitor at the Irish lakes
"The ex-President of the United States, Mill
lard Fillmore, accompanied by Mr.. Davis, of
the New York bar, and courier, has been
sojourning for the last few days at the Lake
Hotel, Killarney. Having been fortunate in
having fine day through the Gap he ex-
pressed himself delighted with the enchanting
scenery of this most delightful spot, and the
varied beauties of the lakes and the mountains
surrounding. As he was leaVeing in the morn
ing, the buglers connected with the Lake
Hotel placed themselves under tree out of
view, and commenced playing Yankee
Doodle" As he passed, the boatmen, group
ed in different parts of the avenue, gave him
three hearty cheers, as an acknowledgment
of their gratitude to the great republic of
America. This distinguished gentleman re-
peatedly acknowledged tbs compliment, which
was as unexpected asit was enthusiastic

We hope that every voter ofthis county and
those who are not old enough to vote, will be-

The society have determined to hold fair

this organizations as it will tend to develope

Abuse of the American Party.

What can the anti-American editors and
speakers expect to gain by abusing the Ameri-
can party There must certainly be some
great prospect of political gain, or else why
would men who occupy respectable positions
in society, and in their business connections
pass as men of fair dealing, abuse all ideas of de-
cency and every sense of honor, by stigmatising
men more honest than themselves by all the
vulgar expressions with which American citi-
zens have been loaded, simply because they
are members of party opposed to these ira
ducers. Why, who that has read anti-Ameri-
can papers, who that has heard anti-American
speakers, if he placed reliance in what he read
and heard, would not believe the American party
to be made up entirely of scoundrels, assassins
murderers, men Of every stamp Of villainy, but
of not one single virtue Men were never so
abused for political motives as the members of
this party have been. If but the one-tenth
part of what has been said of these men be
true our Republic were disgraced forever That
such a mass of scoundrels, assassins and MUIR
derers should remain unhung, and even live
under open organization, would disgrace any
country on earth. Again we ask, What can
anti-American editors and speakers expect to
gain by abusing their opponents in this man
ner
Why there is scarcely a community in the
United States, in which the most respectable
men in it are not members of the American
party or warm sympathzers with it. Even
many of the foreign born themselves acknow-
ledge sympathy with these Americanized
Americans. This party has moreover elected
a better average of men to office than any par
ty which has carried success with it, for half a
century. 1t has already had tremendous in
fuence in stopping this eternal counting up OF
the foreign VOTE which was fast elevating the
foreigner above the native born, giving foreign
influence tremendous power, and prostrating
every true honest American feeling at the feet
of demagogueism. And yet this party is made
up ofa set ofscoundrels and murderers Now
we tell these editors and these orators, they
are slandering better men than Themselves
that they are abusing men of purer political
motives, and whose objects are more patriotic
and whose success will achieve more public
and Republic good. Their defamation will
only injure themselves. 1t will only convince
the public that men so prone to accuse Others
ofdishonesty cannot be honest themselves We
think it is time this part of anti-American tao
tics should be dropped. Mere policy, if decen.
cy can demand nothing at their hands, should
urge them to cease abusing men just as honest
in purpose and deed as the members of any
other party in the country.
