D The Marietta Mtelligencer
states that an Irishman named Thom-
as Kelley, was run over and killed by
the morning train on the NJ. q G. Il.
B., last Thursday, about 6 miles west
of that city. Kelley was walking on
the track going to his mornings work.
As soon as the engineer saw him, he
sounded the whistle three times as a
warning, and then reversed the en-
gine, and gave signal to put on the
brakes. By some strange fatality,
Kelly did not seem to hear, and IN a
few seconds the locomotive struck him
and threw him off to the side of the
road. His head was very much bruis-
ed and one of his legs badly broken
tbs stated that he was not drinking
man.

The REPUDIAToRs REPUDIATED.-
The reader will remember the con-
test which took place among the Re-
publicans, last winter, relative TO
the canal contracts. The Smelling
Committee, in their report, declared
that these contracts were null and
void because they had not been
awarded to the lowest bidders where
upon bitter fight sprung up between
those in favor of repudiating the con-
tracts and those opposed to it. At
the time the awards were made, Mr..
Blickinsderfer was a member of the
Board of Public Works elect, and the
contracts we're let with his consent
and approval. The Black Republi-
can Convention, Notwithstanding his
approval Of the fraudulent contracts, P"
has renOminated Mr.. B. for the Board
of Public Works-thus virtually re-
pudiating the regulators, and con-
demning the " SmellerS." Ofcourse
these gentlemen opposed the nomina-
ton of BIick en- naas8e, but the con-
tractors had too many oftheir minions
on hand to be defeated.
QUERIES. The following sharp
questions we find in the Columbus

PRICES OF BEEF AT 44Tu-srREEr.

REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.-The mkt attained
hight to-day, atthe Washington Drove Yards,
which seldom, if ever, has been reached before at
this season of the year.
Drovers commenced asking an advance Of two
cents per b. at the opening of the market, and
they have been successful in obtaining full ad-
vance ofone to one and half cents on last weeks
prices.
The opinions of the butchers and drovers are
very conflicting as regards prices-some quote one
l cent up, some cents, and Others IL cents.--
From personal inspection Of all the yards we
think that Is cents is an outside quotation ofthe
improvement.
VEALs-There no changc;we quote at 5@71Ic.
the latter an extreme price.
Mich Cows-Are dull. We quote at $4O@75
for common to very good. One or two fancy Cows
with calf have sold at sl0O to $3.50 per head.

THE CAPTAIN AND THE PIRATE
FROM AN OLD SAILORS LOG BOOK.
BY sYLvANUs COBB, JR.

Quite number Of years ago. slipped
on board the Waldmear bark, bound to
Calcutta, and from thence 10 Canton
She was good craft enough, and had
been profitable one to her owners,
though she was by no means fast sailer.
Her first point of excellence lay in her
strength Of endurance, she being what
is technically termed "an excellent sea-
boat" Her captain for the present cruise
was new man, and perfect stranger
to the crew. He owned the somewhat
odd name Of Blffe Stark.
Captain Buffe Stark was middle.aged
man, and as powerful in his build as a
lion. His shoulders were massive in
their breadth and thickness, and his neck
was SO thick that it formed nearly a
straight outline from the bottom Of the
ear to the bend Of the shoulder. His
countenance was indicative Of the basest
passions. though, in fact, there was much
intelligence lurking about the deep lines
of his dark features. He had written
recommendation from several Mobile
firms. and upon the strength Of these he
was placed in command Of the bark, he
having first. however, undergone an ex.
animation in seamanship and navigation.
Ship.masters were at that time scarce.
and hence the owner felt pleased to think
they had secured so efficient captain.
They did not have time TO send on to
Mobile to find if Bnffe Stark'S recon-
mendations were genuine. for, if they had,
in all probability Slsrk's chance would
have been q slim one.
The bark had good crew Of twenty
five men, all told, and soon found thai
they all entertained pretty much the same
opinion in regard TO the captain. Even
Isaac Wales, our first mate. shook hi.
head with dubious expression, when
Stark first came on board.
The Waldmar had not been at sea 9
week before Captain Stark began to show
himself as he really was. He beat the
men without prov ocation, and seemed to
desire to make himself as disagreeable az
possible. We soon found that he had
laid in q great quantity Of liquor for his
own use, and this was by no means cal
cnlated to make him kind or gentlemRnly
He was never wha. could generally b
termed drunk, but yet he was almos
constantly under the influence Of liquor
He proved himself to be a good seaman
and fair navigator, though we were no
long in discovering that Mr.. Wales wa
far his superior in the latter respect.
One darE night during the mid.watch
the captain came on deck and went /,
the wheel. The bark was then close
hauled upon the larboard tack, though sh
had freedom enough To carry slackbow
line. The first mate had the deck.
"Mr. Wales,'' said the captain, zeal
ell hands 70 tack ship."

The STORY OF THE BATTLE Field
A soldier was wounded in one Of the bat
ties of the Crimea, and was carried out
Of the field he felt that his wound Was
mortal-that life was quickly ebbing a.
way-and he said to his comrades who
were carrying him:
"Put me down do not take the trouble
10 carry me any further: am dying"
They then put him down and returned
to the field. A few minutes after an off
Ger saw the man weltering in his blood.
and asked him if he could do anything
for him.
"Nothing, thank you"
"Shal | get you little water!" said
the kind hearted officer.
"No thank you; l am dying"
"Is there nothing | can do for you %
Shall l write to your friends 7"

But there is one thing for which 1 would
be much obliged: in my knapsack you
will find a Testainent-will you open it
at the lth of John, aud near the end Of
the chapter you will find a verse that
begins with peace" will you read i,?"
The officer did so, and read the words
"Peace ] leave with you, my peace
give unto you; not as the world giveth,
give unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid"
"Thank you, sir" said the dying man;
