Singular Accident.

An accident of a singular character hap
pened in the neighborhood of Middlebrook,
in this county, on Tuesday last Several
young men went out to shoot some pigeons,
and when Mr.. John Argalright, Ga son Of
David Argabright,) who was of the num-
her, fred his piece, which was heavily char
ged, the breeching of the gun gave way
forcing screw into his forehead, the head
foremost an inch and an half. Aid was
soon had but none Of bis companions could
extract the screw, which had fastened itself
just above the left eye. Young Argabright
at length drew out the screw himself with
several small pieces of bone attached to it..
The gun was an old one, and the lock was
found fifty yards from the place the piece
was discharged. Drs. MoChesncy aud Har.
din were called in and dressed the wound,
and have strong hope Of his recovery. The
Young man still remains perfectly conscious

HIGHLAND.

lM', Editor, The snow is about gone
and we have been able to commune togeth-
or again. The first thing to which our at
tention was directed was the selection of a
proper person to represent us in the next
Legislature. 1t is fact worthy of atten-
ton, particularly in our Western counties,
that the ablest and best men have not been
selected to represent us.
Our State stands much in need of her very
best intellect to devise and mature ways and
means for completing hsr leading and most
important improvements. We are entirely
in favor of applying the Jeffersonian test
thai IL, first we should ask lis he an hon
est man I? and, seoandly~--has he the abili-
ty to perform the duties Of bis trust ? In
connection and with special reference to the

that he permit his name to be used as a

every mind unites to charge the horrid act

and If we had space, we could fortify that
view with many little proofs, which, thus
far, seem to have been overlooked. Our
theory of The crime, however, is, that the

From the Konomha Star. !
LIEUTENANT GOV. McCOMAS

An editorial in the Richmond Wig IN
siandfes that Lieutenant Governor McCamas
has abandoned the State, taking with him
another mans wife, and leaving his own
with few little responsibilities besides, be-
hind him, and that he had determined to
settle permanently in Chicago" The HAiq
calls upon its democratic cotemporaries
throughout the State to furnish the public
with minute and reliable account Of the
cause which induced Elisha to throw up the
honor Of the Lieutenancy and ostracize HIM
self from the Commonwealth I"
We speak advisedly when we say that the
whole statement of the Wing from beginning
to end is unfounded.
Lieut. GOV. MoComas left here several
months ago, for the purpose of purchasing
lands for his wife and children II, some Of
tiie Western States or Territories, and on
his way to the West eeaesabe amt, ofthe
highest responsibility who had raised his wife
travelled with him. under his care, as far
as CINCINNATI on her way to the South, where
she leslaes-and she is the ''other mans
wife" that he took with him. For the eratiti-
cation Of the Wing we would state that
"Elisha" has not thrown up the Aonors of
the Lientenancy,' nor has he sostracized
himself from the Commonwealth, neither
has he resigned his Office and he fas not
Undermined TO settle permanently in Ghica-
go, OF to become 50 citizen of Nebraska. ~

business he expects to return to his family

SUFFERING AT THE NORTH.

The following is from the St. Louis neus
Of the 9th inst:
Five persons, Ga man, three women and
child, were frozen to death neor Monticello.
Iowa, last Saturday night. They were re-
turning from neighbours with pair Of
horses and sleigh; they got off the road,
and III crossing hollow, the horses became
detached from the sleigh and ran of-leav-
ing the parties in snow from five to eight
feet deep. The parties not returning on
Tuesday morning, the neighbors collected,
and after long search, the women and child
were found in willow thicket, covered with
blankets, add with large quantity of snow
over them. ali dead The man was found
without his hat, frozen to death, about
quarter of u mile from the women, and with
in 40 rods of his own house. Two other
men were frozen in the same neighborhood,
about the same time, while returning from
church The weather has been excessively
cold in Iowa.
The same paper also contains the partieu-
lars Of another like disaster in the same
State; Mr.. and Mrs. Walton and their son,
Of Pleasant Valley, started from church on
Sabbath evening to return home They
were lost on the prairie in snow drifts, amid
the perils Of a terrible snow storm and pierre.
ing and binding wind. After struggling
untl they were almost frozen. and getting
their horses 50 buried in drifts that they
could proceed no further, they abandoned
their vehicles in hope of reaching their own
or some other habitation. They struggled
along together for weary hours, IN vain.
Mrs ". at last sunk in her icy winding
sheet TO rise no more. Her son, a young
