A Farm for the Poor.

We were very much in hopes after the
Committee appointed by both the Over
seers Of the Poor, aud the County Court,
had viewed lie different Farms offered to
them, and made selection, that their
choice would have been ratified by both
Lodies, and that the desired object, the
purchase Of farm for the poor, would be
accomplished But our hopes were rus
trated on Friday last, when the overseers
Of the Poor met, as we understand, for
the purpose OF raulying and carrying out
the Recommendations of the joint commit
tee. The resolution adopted by the COM
mitlee, reads as follows:
We, the committee, appointed by the
Overseers of the Poor, and The County
Court of ferson, having this day met
by adjournment, at the Office of Samuel
Stone, at the Court House Of said Coun-
"; and after having previously examined
all the farms offered 10 the committee,
resolved to recommend 10 the Overseers
of the Poor, and to the County Court, the
purchase of the farm belonging to Robert
V. Shirley, called The NOyer Farm, con.
tanning l39 acres, al S55 per acre. Terms
One, two, three, four and five years,
with interest. Possession given the lSt
of April, 1858. Signed by r. W. Bay
Tor, Thos. II. Willis, Samuel Ridemour,
WIN. II. ConkIyn, Jacob Line and John
F. Shaul, Joint Committee.
At the meeting of the Overseers OF the
Poor held on Friday last, the above reso-
luton was rejected by the following vote :;
For the Resolution. against the Resolution.
Yates, ShauII,
ConkIyn, Line,
Brown, Beers,
Mccoy.
Four against and three for the resoIu
ton. Among those who voted against
The resolution, we find two, whose names
are signed to the recommendation. We.
sincerely hope that this matter will be
viewed in more serious light, and that
gentlemen will not let their personal Ieel-
ings override the interest Of the County,
and the dictates of humenlly--tor both
equally call upon us to act III ms ma"eF.
Our taxes are enormously heaYy--and
wherever the experiment has been tried,
we are informed it succeeds admirably.
BY prompt action in this matter, this IN,
fortunate class ol people will be provided
with necessary comIorts--Whereas, tol
the last fifteen or twenty ycars--ihey have
been sold from year TO year TO the lowesl
bidder, sometimes not having roof to
shelter them from the inrlemency Of the
weather. We have mentioned these facts,
with a view to create harmony and action
in the matter. We SHAH aIIude to this
subject again if no action is taken, and try
and place il in such a lghl before the
people as to call forth some expression OF
opinion lrom Spirit,

From Washington

WAsuIYToN, Aug. 3l.-Capt Hudson COM
manding officer of the frigate Niagara, in
communicating to the Navy Department the
particulars in regard to the accident to the
submarine cable, says he has every reason to
believe, from what has thus far been expe-
rienced in the wire laying that, under Or
binary circumstances of weather and with ma
chiuery adapted to the purpose, (for such as
they had on board requires altering and i'm
proving.) the cable may be laid in safety on
the track marked out for 1t in the Atlantic
Ocean. He says that at the time the cable
parted the company's chief engineer, Mr..
Charles 6. Bright and his men were attending
their brakes, to lessen the expedition of the
cable, until it was finally carried away. This
accident made all hands, throughout the day
like household or family which had lost its
dearest friend for the officers and men had
become deeply interested in the success. of the
enterprise.
Wilhelm Dorscl has been recognized by
the President as Consul for the grand Duke
dom of Hesse Darmstadt, for Maryland, and
North and South Carolina, to reside in Balti-
more.
Governor Walker was, at the last accounts
preparing defence of his oficicial conduct,
to place himself right before the people Of
Mississippi especially and the South gener-
ally.

delightful, which, altogether, makes it On
interesting place to attend.
Two serious accidents occurred here yes
terday, Sunday. Mr.. VIM. G.. Kase, Of
Wilkesbarre, his wife and two Of bis children
were oil more or less injured from the over
setting Of their carriage. 1t appears that
as they were coming down q slight descent,
just above town, the tongue of the conveyance
came loose from its attachments, and while
Mr.. Kase made n momentarly impulsive
effort to stop the horses, which he could not
effect on account Of the vehicle running
against their heels, the carriage ran to one
side of the road and upset. the horses making
off at full speed. iE
We learn that Mr.. Kase was severely iu-
jured in the knee and ankle of one limb, and
was also elsewhere bruised and the symptoms
manifested by the elder child indicate con-
cussion Of the brain. They are both confined
to their beds at present writing. but are
doing we'll. Mrs. Kase and the younger child
were but slightly injured. ] believe the
horses were caught unharmed, but the car
rage was literally demolished.
Mr.. Thomas Vastine and daughter, Of Rush
township, while on their way to the camp.
meeting we're thrown from their conveyance
near this place, and both severely bruised
the young lady quite seriously. She was
carried INTO mouse near ny wnere sne sum
ciently recovered during the day to admit o
being taken home towards evening. The
occurrence of the accident is attributed tC
the unmanageable spirit of their horse ant
reckless driving. lss V. has been in bro
ken health for some time. induced, no doubt
by the electric shock she sustained in thu
NJ. Il. church, Danville, when that ediict
was so unfortunately struck by lightning {
few years since.
Now, if you will have patience until th'
whrl of excitement hos passed, and we ge
settled down to our usual degree of conpo
sure, we promise something more in th'
future-perhaps by your next issue.
Yours. hopefully, Q.
