Territory violate the fifth amendment Of the Consti-
tuiionl
Some reliance was placed by the defendants counsel
upon the fact that the prohibition Of Slavery In this
Territory was in the words that Slavery &c. Cd sl

Every enactment not expressly limited in its duration

Distressing Accident.

Last Wednesday afternoon, as a
lad aged about twelve years, son of
Mr.VAN BLARlooN, who resides about
two miles from Prairie City, was
about unhitching an OK team from a
stone boat, the team got frightened,
and commenced running. The lad
got caught in the chain, was thrown
under the stone boat, and was drag
ged about for several minutes, the
team being in full run, ere they could
bo stopped by tho father. When
picked up, the lad was found to be
mortally injured, the shoulder blade
having been broken and the body
mangled and bruised to complete
jelly He uttered "0h, father p and
expired ere medical assistance could
be obtained, This should be a warn
ing to our people about intrusting un-
ruly cattle with youngsters. .

The Ladies Of CentropoliS.

We heard several strangers remark
at the celebration here on the Fourth,
that in NO place in the Territory had
they seen so large an assemblage OF
pretty girls as were congregated in
the arbor--and congratulated Prairie
City for being blessed with such good
fortune. We enjoyed the compli.
ment truly, and duty ought to have
compelled US to explain the matter,
but probably owing to that jealous
and selfish spirit that sometimes per-
vades the inhabitants of rival towns,
we wished Prairie City to attain the
name of being the "city Of farieS.'
Our conscience tells us that we did
wrong, 80 now we will let out Sc
cret and cndeavor to mako amends.
1t is to Centropolis that we were in
dobted for such a galaxy Of beauty
as were present at our celebration.
It is true that we have some ashand-
some ladies as can be found anywhere
but il must be admitted that Centrop-
oils turned out larger delegation on
the Fourth than we did. CcntropOlis
must be a delightful place to live in
Wohavo never been there. butif her
