MELANCHOLY AccIDENT-We are panied to
have to record heart-rendcring occurrence,
which happened on last Sunday afternoon
about annie above town. Louis Harrison, son
of DR.. Bates, of this place, in attempting to
run from falling tree, slipped on the ice and
fell-the tree falling on him, breaking his
thigh and fatally injuring him internally. He
fingered until Wednesday evening, when death
put an end to his sufferings. We sincerely
sympatize with the distressed family in their
sudden and melancholy bereavement.

az Prof. Owen states in relation to the coal
fields bordering on the Ohio river below Louis
vile:
It would be difficult to find location in the
United States where so many workable beds of
coal are concentrated in a limited space as in
this southern part of the middle coal field of
the Mississippi valley, adjacent to the Ohio
river, five beds making their outcrop from the
summit of the bluff to low water; and three to
four more beds can be won in the mile space
intervening between the valley of the Saline
and the Dutton cliff.
The quality of the Goals generally proves to
be equal to any Goals mined adjacent to the
Ohio river, below Pittsburgh, and superior to
any Goals haye yet examined from the Mis-
sissippi or Missouri rivers.
The shale; intercalated with the coal meas
ures are often rich in iron stones, capable of
producing about so to 40 per tent of excellent
soft, gray iron, of much tenacity, and well
adapted for conversion into steel.

A new Phase Of the thing

On the 18th inst, Hon. Howell Cobb an
nounced in the House, that the Democracy
would never consent to the election of Banks,
but would permit the election of any other Re-
publican. The Republicans held a caucus in
the evening, and vowed to stick by Banks.
We wish to call attention to this state Of things
The Democratic Representatives have been for
nearly two months obstinately resisting the
election Of Republican Speaker-not Mr..
Banks merely, but any Republican-and their
obstinacy has been eulogized under different
names by the Old Line press over the whole
Union. But suddenly they have caved. Their
opposition is only to Mr.. Banks, not to Re
publican Speaker! They are willing to sacri-
fee all those opinions they have been declaring
they never would yield, and permit some
other Republican to be elected-but not Banks.
Their objections heretofore have not been
against Mr. Banks personally but against Mr..
Banks as a Republican. Their present cave
exhibits the fact, that they are beginning to
feel little of the responsibility Of non-organi-
cation may probably be brought home to them
selves. But they can deceive no one with the
shallow idea, that their great reason for refus-
ing to assist in organizing, is because Of per-
sonal objections to Mr.. Banks.
But the Republicans, it appears to US, are
also placed in perplexing position. They
have been trying for weeks to elect Banks,
without success. They are not apparently SO
near success, indeed, as they were some time
ago. It certainly seems to us they have given
him long enough trial in all conscience. and
it becomes them to take up a new man.
Cobb's ultimatum offered the Republicans a
fair opportunity of testing the sincerity ofthcir
opponents--and if they were found insincere
in their proposal, then there could be no shift
ing from their shoulders the responsibility
ofnon-o organization. If successful, the Repub-
licans would have the Speaker, and their object
be attained. But they met in caucus, and
obstinately refused to drop Banks. This is pa
pably wrong. Such obstinacy is as ridiculous
and condemnable, as the obstinacy of the Dem
ocrats in sticking out six or seven weeks
against the election of Republican, then
agreeing to elect a Republican if Banks be not
the man. The people are heartily sick of this
condition of things. The Washington Senti-
nel Oemocratic) opposes any organization at
all, but we believe in this it speaks the voice
Of no party. 1t is to the interest of all parties
that an organization of the Hoese be no longer
delayed.

OF The Lagrange Herald says that Mr..
David Bucher, living near Lima, in that county,
was killed on Tuesday by falling on pitch
fork with which he had been at work on a hay
stack. He tried to climb the stack by stick
ing the fork into it, holding it horizontally with
one hand and resting one foot upon the handle,
while with the other hand he lifted himself up
In this effort the fork slipped and fell, the
tines uppermost, and Mr. Butcher fell upon
them. One entered his breast and pierced his
lungs causing death in a few hours.

GeTThe following is told by the Chicago
Journal of Gov. Reynolds, whom they call the
"Old Ranger in Illinois, when for the first
time in his life he visited the seabord as rep
rcsentatiye in Congress from the back settle
ments:
upon reaching Baltimore the Governor
rose early in the morning and paid visit to
the shipping at the DOCKS. when the tide was
full, and again at noon, when it was ebb-and
not satisfied with the sudden change that had
taken place, again in the evening, when the
tide was in. Heretofore he had resolved to
keep everything to himself, and go in pursuit
of knowledge under difficulties on his own
hook-but now his astonishment broke over
its bounds, and as he returned to the hotel,
the Old Ranger remarked ''that this was the
curiosest country he had ever seen in his life
tue treshets in one day-dnd nary drop o. raint''

0TSeveral skating matches have come off
this winter on the Canal and Pigeon Creek
which created some little excitement among
those interested. One was called yesterday
afternoon at the Canal, and a good many per-
sons went out to attend. Several Englshmen
here are brag runners. They may yet tave a
chance to display their agility on the Ohio this
winter, but we doubt it. Fast running is not
always good skating, however. The very best
skaters are generally slow at race.
