a DISTRESSING CAsUALTY.-A Mr.. Hib-
Ter, near York, Pa, went to his well on
Monday, to draw bucket Of water, when
the curbing gave way, and he was precipita-
ted into it, and was completely buried up by
the falling rocks and caving earth. His
family was absent at the time, and did not
return till some hours afterwards, when the
accident was discovered, and his voice was
family heard through the rubbish that COW
cred him. The most strenuous efforts were
made to rescue him, but the falling earth
filled the hole as fast as they could remove it.
After many hours truitless exertion, the
doomed man requested that his wife might
be brought within hearing of his voice, that
he might bid her a last farewell. His request
was complied with, and We leave the reader
TO imagine the scene-the anguish of mind OF
her who, on the l4th of April last, I've led to
the altar bride. At one o'clock on Tuesday
morning he ceased to exist, and his li.eless
body was found about tour o'clock, much
bruised, with one hand off.

The action of the City Council on Tuesday
evening, in relation to the School Tax, was
much talked of on the street yesterday. The
additional tax Of ten cents for building
fund for the use Of the School Trustees, will
make the taxes this year nearly two per cent.
Many other cities have taxed themselves
much higher-Memphis two and half per
cent It is to be hoped that the Board of
Equilization, to meet in August, will reform
the unequal valuations of last year. We
heard property offered for sale yesterday at a
great reduction on its valuation, without
buyers. while other could not be got for dou
bic itsassessed value. The property on Main
street. near the Canal, is valued at the same
per front foot as that near the river This
IL manifest.y wrong and unjust. The tax
for the current year will be heavy burden
for our citizens, and their property should be
assessed at fair rates. and with reference to its
eligibility. The one quarter per cent tax Cor
school purposes will enable the Trustees to
erect building in the lower part of the city.
similar to the one now in use. and carry on
the schools in the most efficient manner.
Already our city is becoming noted for its
excellent schools, and the State Superinten-
dent Of Public Instruction. in his last report,
acknowledges that we are taking the lead in
erecting fine school edifces, and employing
the best talent.
The following resolutions were introduced
by Judge Foster, to the Council, with an able
speech. in which the advantages tc be derived
from public schools were cogently set forth.
The friends of Free Schools are under obi
cations to the Judge for the success af the
measure:
Resolred, That it is the duty of the Com
mon Council of the City of Evansville to pro-
vide. at the public expense. for graduated
system of Comm On Schools. where all the
elements of good business education can be
obtained, free of charge, by every child in our
city.
ResOlred, That tax Of fifteen cents on the
one hundred dollars be levied for the pur-
poses of paying the current expenses of keep
irg mp such schools. and placed as directed
by ordinance, at the disposal of the School
Trustees
Resolred, That in view of the increasing
want of suitable school accommodations
there he levied ten cents on the one nun
dred dollars. as building fund, to gradually
provide the necessary school houses to accom-
modate the present and future wants of the
community.
Resolred. That all purchases of school sites
and all contracts for school buildings. shall
be submitted by the Trustees. to the Council
for their approval or rejection.
The vote upon their passage stood thus:
AYEs-Foster, French, Elliott, Hunnel
Allen, Sehmutte, Bisch, Warren and Sharpe
nine.
NoEs-Scantlin, Hedderech, Setchell, In
wood, Nurrie; Mentzer and Muhlhausen

THE CORN CRoP.-It has been alleged as
one of the causes of the high prices of food,
that the production did not keep pace with
the increase OF population. This certainly
cannot be true of the corn crop, nor do we
believe it to be correct in regard to any oth-
er.
The corn crop of the United
States in 1910 was in bushels S1T 800, 900
In 1850 592 OOO. 900
In 1855 $50, 900 900
In 1860 it will be by estimate 1000, 900 900
One half of this vast amount is raised in
the Ohio Valley. The value of the corn
crop for 1856 is stated at S400, 600, 900. The
greatest decrease of production below the av-
erage, from drouths or urfavorable seasons.
is found to be only twenty per cent of the
entire crop. The average yield in the State
of Ohio is, thirty-fv bushels to the acre.
The estimate crop for Ohio in 1857, should
it prove an average year, is $4,000 900 bush
els. Taking her present crops as basis, the
Cincinnati Gazette says that Ohio can feed a
population of six millions and export more
agricultural products than she now does,
when her agricultural resources shall be fully
developed.

MARROW ESCAPE OF TRAIN.-One day
last week the Express train from the West,
on the Valley Road. narrowly escaped de-
struction. The night previous the heavy
trains had washed out an embankment, near
Attica, leaving h chasm twenty five deep
1t was not far from curve i'm the road, and
the Express train, under fHil Roadway, had
approached within few hundred yards of
the breach, before the engineer. observed it.
The quick, nervous whistle Of the locomotive
announced the danger-the engine was re-
versed, and the breaks applied: The engi-
neer and fireman having done everything in
their power to check the speed of the train,
balanced thems elves on either side of the en-
gine, ready to jump for their lives when the
last hope was gone. Pale and breathless
wheels Of the forward truck--each revolution
bearing the train nearer to destruction To
them it seemed that destruction was inevita-
BILE, but fortunately the train came to stop
within four tset Of the yawning chasn.--

:5- The Squatter Sovereign of June
20 has the following particulars of the loss oi
the United States Mail. She struck snag
near Atchison and went down in ten feet wa
ter, leaving the principal part OF tie boil
er deck out of water. The Atchison Ferry
Boat went to her assistance, and the passen-
gers with their baggage, the principal part
of the freight, one engine, all the furniture,
and the movable part of the cabin were Sc
cured. The boat itself broke intwo in few
hours after striking the bar, and she will soon
60 to pieces. The loss is about ten thousand
dollers-no insurance!
1t is the opininion of the officers of the
Mail. that their boat struck the same snag
that proved fatal to the A. b. Chambers, a
few months ago, and which is still in the
river.

KANsAs.-The following extract from Gov.
Walkers speech at Topeka contains his views
in regard to the manner in which the new
Constitution of Kansas shall be submitted to
the people for adoption rejection. These
views so just Democratic and have brought
down upon him the censures and condemna-
ton of the nulifers of the ultra Southern
School, who are now assuming position of
quasi hostility to the administration. Mr..
Buchanan and his party will need the sup
port of the sonnd, national men of all par
ties, to sustain him against the threatened
assaults of the fanatics on both sides of the
question, in the firm and Independent per-
formance of his duty. No reasonable man
will ask for more than is promised in the
following declaration Of Gov. Walker.
Ny doctrine is this, that in the future,
when the constitution shall be submitted to
the vote of the citizens of Kansas, Chat ii
shall be submitted to the vote of the whole
people. do not mean to those who arc now
registered under the Territorial law: do not
mean those who were residing here on the

pie of Kansas-not only those who are here

over whom these institutions are 20 operate
that they, by majority of their votes, shall

constellation and what shall be their social in

come now to my own individual views
'sI repeat then, as my clear conviction, that
unless the Convention submit the constitu-
ton to the vote of all the actual resident set
tiers Of Kansas. and the election be fairly and
Justly conducted, the constitution will, and
ought to be rejected by Congress" Cries OF
"Good."l Gentlemen, on this subject wisf
that there should be no mistake. no misap-
prehensions in regard to my opinions and the
policy which shall deem it my duty to pur-
sue in the administration of the executive
department of the Territory Of Kansas. II
is involved in a few simple words: That the
majority of the people of Kansas must gov
