arm broken i'll the following manner
1t appears that the boy was standing close
by looking OF, and so near the stone, that
the shaft of it caught in his coat tail
He endeavored to unloosen it with one of
hisshands, but while in the act of doing so,
the shaft also became cntangled III his
coat sleeve, and before any assistance
could be rendered, forced his arm around
the shaft, breaking it Immediately above
the wrist This should serve as a fear
full and timely warning to young per-
sons, aud even those more advanced in
years, not to venture too near to machine
ry, as they know not at what moment some
of their clothing may accidentally come
in contact with it, and if so, bruised
body or broken limbs. if not instant death,
will be the direful consequences of their
carelessne>s, as in the case Of this little boy.

Two party tickets were nominated, but the
voting was by no means confined to them, as
there was considerable scratching on both
sides But for the canal drill sergeants, some
of whom were at it from morning until night,
there would have been but little partzanship
in the matter, as quite a number thought both
might have been considerably improved in
material The vote was about 100 short of
the poll last fall.
Bsa-Thc practice of boys hanging on to the
omnibus or baggage cart resulted on Tuesday
last in the latter passing over the arm of a
little hey, son of Samuel Miller, bruising
his arm considerably. This hanging on to
vehicles of all kinds is extremely dangerous,
and it is hoped all who are in the habit of
doing it will take warning and hereafter seek
less dangerous amusements.

Facts far o,H' Lngislators at Hal7isbug.-
4 Western bank has exploded leaving Just
to'r dollars in coin to redeem one hundred
thousand Of its own bills in circulation The
holders, probably mechanics and working
people will be deeply impressed with the ne
cessity OF more banking facilities to develope
business, or, in other words, transferring the
yasSe of their Iabor to the pockets of indiyid-
uals vino borrow credit, and call that creating
wealth. Our legislators at Harrisburg are
now busiiy engaged in furnishing such facil-
tiles.
Were the notes of the bank referred to
secured by L. S. stocks, Pennsylvania State
stocks, or by mortgages or real estate the
holders would have no need to care how MANY
cashiers run away, or what the assets are
Insteel therefore Of being an argument
against banks. as the Philadelphia Ledger
would make itappear in the above paragraph,
it IS in reality only an additional proof that
the present system is defective and ought to
be changed to free banking, Qr some other
mode o5ering like security.

ARTIsTs.-As for artists, they are
among the most delightful of mankind
What do they care for conventional rich
es, whose life is one long dream of beau
ty, and on whose world every sunbeam
pours shower of living goldl When
the monarch stopped to pick up the
brush Of Titan, he meant to say by the
act that he acknowledged his kingly
brotherhood; and Ludwig of Bavaria
never did himself greater honor than
when he was walking arm-in-arm with
Thorwaldsen. The empire of the artist
is only second to that of woman. He
reigns by producing that which she pos
sesses-beauty.

Az ENGLsHMAN's DlGN1rY OurRA,

an EAGLIsHMAN' DIGNITY OUTRAG-
ED.-The Boston Ledger tells the fol-
lowing good story of an English mer-
chant. He had come out to this coun-
try to wind up the affairs of a concern
which owed him considerable money,
and having never been in this country
before, acted precisely as if he had been
at home. He got along pretty well un-
til he had occasion to take a journey in
to Maine. There he managed during a
stage ride to get on the box alongside
the driver. He states that he was great
ly surprised, after the coach had pro-
ceeded mile or SO, to hear the driver
familiarly address him thus: "Captain,
| guess we'll have rain fore long" Our
English friend pulled up his shirt collar
and looking away without deigning any
reply. Shortly after, the driver made
another observation ON the state of the
roads, whereupon the gentleman said,
"My man, III. thank you not to address
yourself to me-" and unconsciously pull
ed at his dickey again; but the good ma
tured loquacity of the driver was not to
be easily repressed, for when again it
had been rebuked with another pull at
the dickey, it broke out in this over
whelming manner: '.Look here, Cap
tain, if you pull your collar much more,
you'll jirk up your shirt TAIL" The
Englisfman confesses that it was impos-
sible for him to maintain his habitual
reserve from the instant; so passing
from one extreme to the other, he indulg-
ed i'll frequent outbursts of merriment, in
which the driver heartily joined, and
they parted at the journeys end upon
the best OF terms.
