Thursday of last week was rather un-
lucky day for the NJ. d @, Railroad. The
morning express train from Cincinnati,
when within four miles oft:his place, at
Williams crossing ran over horse and
buggy-throwing the driver, a gentlemen
by the name of Hawk, an almost incredi-
BILE distance, seriously injuring him and
killing his horse, and destroying his vehi-
Gle. No other damage occurred. sss4..
The freight train. coming in few min
utes thereafter, ran into a gravel train,
near town throwing the locomotive off the
track, and dOipga small amount of dam
age. The accident was caused by some
defect in the switch, as we are informed.
The passenger car Of the express train.
returning from Marietta, was thrown from
the track the same day and injured to such
extent as to require its being left. The
passengers were transferred to the bag
gage cars and passed through without much
delay. f' bio ro- ,j.saa u0 ~

in his charge to the Grand Jury referred to
a serions blunder made by the Legislature.
in the law removing minor criminal busi-
ness from the Probate to the Common
Pleas Court, by which many criminals
would escape punishment. 1t may be that
he thought his remarks would be refec-
tion upon ourself as a member of that
body; but if any one will examine our
course in regard to that law, he will find
that from first to last, we opposed the
measure; and, of course, did not care a fig
how many blunders were made in the law.
We believed then, and still believe, the
whole thing a blunder. This was one of
the measures we could not sanction. .

A SLAVE HUET.-- Quite an excitement
has been stirred up in the Southwestern
counties of this State in consequence ofan
attempt to catch a runaway slave The
slave being pursued hid in cabin near
Urbana. The U. S. Deputy Marshal un-
dertook to capture him, and was shot at by
the negro. A crowd collected, and the
Marshal fled. A few days afterward, they
returned. with large posse, and arrested
four while citizens for aiding in the escape
of the slave. "A writ of habeas corpus
was issued for the return of these men.
The Marshal and his posse refused to- obey
the writ, and fell upon the Sheriff, treating
him severely. Another writ was issued,
they were again overtaken,, and the whole
posse captured. The, prisoners were set
at liberty, and the U. s, Marshal and depu-
ties put in jail in Xenia. When in jail,
they telegraphed to Cincinnati and Wash
ington, If these officers are not released,
the U. S. Judge-Leavitt- threatens to ar
rest about a hundred men implicated. The
widest excitement prevails. Particulars

FITS! Why PrOInimenf

For long time there was a paragraph
making its regu' ar weekly appearance in our
columns, with the brief. but emphatic words
Gifts FitsP' always at the head, to some n
offensive caption, but not so to the benevolent
and humane, who could Sympathze in the
sorrows of others. Some persons are shocked
at any indication OF disease, and are even
thrown into nervous excitement on witnessing
a hearse OF coffin. Such are to le pilie6.-
We should always strive to look disease and
even death in the face with calmness, and es.
pecially take every advantage for aleviating
disease. Viewed in this light, the advertise.
ments of S. S. Hanee, of10S Baltimore street
Baltimore, Md, possess certain interest, and
those who know of any one suffering from
Epilepsy, Spasms, or Fits of any kird, should,
feel i. a pleasure to cut oet his advertisement,
or in some other way send word to the afflicted
of the great value OF his remedies. They can
be sent to any part of the country by mail.

SATURDAY N1GHrs.-This time Of prep.
aration for day of rest, to which we, in
common with weary laborers everywhere,
have always looked forward to with pleas
ing anticipations, has recently in Pomeroy
become a time which is really to be feared.
Drunkenness and rioting fill our streets on
Saturday nights, without let or hindtance,
and he may consider himself fortunate
indeed, who can walk the streets on Sat
urday evening without being jostled of
the pavement by drunken vagabonds, or
whose rest is not disturbed during the
night by bacchanalian songs, blasphemy,
and rioting. Such things should not be
permitted. If they cannot be prevented
otherwise, special police force should be
employed on Saturday night. We shall
have more to say on the subject hereafter.
