Are You Assessed {?


Next Saturday is the last day, the law re-
quiring ten days before the election. Look to
your own names, Republicans and then those of
your neighborS. Let not vote be lost by in
attention to the assessments.
1t should be known that to entitle a man to
vote at the coming election, it is necessary that
he Shall have been resident of the State one
year, and of the district or township where he
offers his vote, ten days, and that he has paid
a State and County tax which was assessed at
least ten days previous to the day of election
Young men, however, between twenty -one
and twenty-five, who are qualified in other re-
spects are entitled to vote without payment
of any tax
And for the persons who have once been
voters in the State and removed therefrom and
returned, residence of six months in the State
is sufficient but in all cases where the paw
ment of tax is necessary, 1t must have been
assessed ten days previous to the election

THE COMING ELECTION.

Up 10 this time, hardly note of prepara-
tion has been heard, in this county, for the
election which is to take place in less than two
weeks Apathy seems to have seized hold of both
political parties 1t is high time that OUT
friends should begin to arouse themselves for
the battle, and commence that labor which
alone will ensure respectable majority for the
State Ticket The Importance of the present
contest can hardly be over estimated Indeed
every State election is important, so long as
there are great questions of National import
ance undecided, and the result in a Common
wealth like Pennsylvania, has powerful innu-
ence in upholding or rebukng the course of a
National Administration. In the present n-
stance, we have a President from Pennsylva-
MA who is recreant to all the professions and
principles, the PRONUNCIATION Of which, enabled
him to secure the vote of his own State-N no
has outraged the public feeling of the North
and who yet looks to Pennsylvania for an en-
dorsement of his acts by the election Of State
Ticket standing upon a platform affirming his
doctrines The defeat Of that Ticket will be a
signal rebake of tue present National EXecu-
tive, coming from his own State, and is pecu-
arly dreaded by him No means will be left
uudone to avert il.
1t is the common expectation amongst the
well Informed of all parties, that the Peoples
State Ticket will be elected by a large majori
~. So it will be if our friends do their duty
Who knows the amount Of labor and money
the Administration will devote to PenuSylva-
MIA from this time until election? We know
that already its emiSsarieS are in Bradford -
Suppose, for instance, Bradford should give
The State Ticket only 1000 or 5000 majority,
when it should be 5000, at least, who can safe
y say that the State is to rebuke Lecompton,
ism The minionS of Slavery propagandism
are never apathetic They are always ready to
bring to the polls every vote they can control.
If our friends desire to rebuke the Kansas
policy of the National AdminiStration-if they
would have Pennsylvania speak out upon that
Subject-it is here in Bradford that the work
must be done Time enough yet remains, if
our friends set about it in earnest The in
different should be aroused to the necessity for
eXertion, aud particularly should arrangements
be made for bringing out voters to the polls
The few days which now remain should be
improved. If they are allowed to slip by, we
may be mortified by the small majority we shall
contribute towards producing that result which
we know is ardently desired by every Republi-
can, and which is now within our reach, if We
will only put forth the proper exertion.

FEARFUL ACcI-ENT-A HoRsE DRAGGlysA
DEAD BODY THREE WEEKs.-Early in Angus.,
John Rawle, lad of sixteen, living iuVocano.
Amador county, who had been yaiuly cnieay.
oring to obtain his fathers consent to 90 to
Frazer River, disappeared, taking with him
valuable horse belonging to the family. Itwas
supposed he had started for Frazer River. and
so little anxiety was felt in regard to him. On
the 10Th Of August his body was found in the
Butte Ditch, few miles east of Jackson al.
tached by larat to a half dead horse.
From appearances the boy. On the night after
leaving home, lay down to sleep, with the horse
tied 10 his person, to prevent his escape The
animal, becoming unmanagpable through fright
during the Eiyht had run off, and dragging bis
master by the rope until the boys life was eZ-
tnet. Afterwards the horse had continued 10
Craze around, dragging the body along for
three weeks. Finally, the corpse had been
dragged into ditch, where it became entangIci
beyond the horses strength to cxtricate it In
his efforts TO pull loose the horse had cut bis
neck to the bone with the rope. The boys
remains were horribly mutilatcd Most Of bis
limbs were broken and the flesh rubbed bare
from the BONE CqHtornia Paper

THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AT WORK

The present imbeciIe and reckless national
administration has its hands full Of State and
County politics just now. Its latest care has
been the condition of things in this judicial
District aud the providing of candidate to
oppose Judge WILMoT. We are informed that
Col. d. NJ. Bull, who seems to be invested by
the Administration with the duties of manag-
ing Lecomptonism in this section of the State,
has been for week past, making his head
quarters at Troy, and from there sending his
messages, issuing his circulars, and Employing
those means which are deemed most potential
in reviyifyng the BUCHANAN party of the Coun-
ty.
We are also informed that the great object
desired is to obtain candidate for President
Judge, and that expresses are daily dispatched
to East Smithfield, to persuade Judge Bullock
to allow himself to be used to forward the pur-
poses of the National Administration. We
have no doubt that their endeavors will end
about as they did in the attempt to obtain a
Susquehanna County candidate
The appearance of Col Bull in the political
horizon, and the anxiety of the National Ad,
mnstratOn in regard to our politics, at this
time, are easily explained 1t is a well known
fact that the active BUcHANAN men of this
County Cor those most active in securing his
eleclion) are thoroughly disgusted with his
course, aud have openly expressed their deter
muation not to vote the State Ticket, nor do
anything towards its success. The probability
is that the vote in Bradford will be light But
if fight could be made on Judge WIIMor then
perhaps the Democratic vote might be incrcas-
ed Col Bulls mission then is, to reconcile
the leaders 20 the State Ticket, to get up a
candidate for Judge, and get out the Demo
cratic voters
We warn our republican friends throughout
the County to be on their guard They must
be active and vigilant until election We have
reason to believe that the plot is already ma
tured, and will soon he developed, if man can
be found vain and weak enough to stand as
candidate for Judge. There is, of course no
expectation Of electing such candidate, but if
the majority on our State Ticket will thereby
be cut down to 1000 or 1000, the national adj
ministration will be so much less likely to be
Republicans of Bradford shall the present
disgraceful National Administration, its mer-
cenary followers, paid hirelings achieve their
purposes while you are supine and inactive
The present apathy will lose us thousands of
votes unless our friends arouse ,and devote some
little time for full Republican poll on the
Second Tuesday of October Let us learn
JAMES BUCHANAN and his Swiss hirelings that
they can no more dictate to the Freemen Of
Bradford than they can our fellow citizens of
Kansas and that we are ready, when occasion
offers, to turn out to the polls to rebuke the
accursed National policy of our rulers, and their
impertineut Interference in our local politics.

Terrible AccrpENr AT THE Ono STATE RAJ

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT THE ONO STATE RAUR
-Tico Persons hlied and Sererai Hounded
The enjoyment Cf those visiting the Ohio
State Fair, now being held at Shndusky City,
was sadly marred by an accident last week.
\ large number Of persons had collected out
side of a ring, formed by pos Is with a single
board nailed across, in which class of horses
were being shown through their PAGES. The
spectators, the drivers, the riders and the horses
were are all excited, when large black horse
attached to a sulky, became unmanageable, and
ran off For time the crowd stood up to
the enclosure, and kept the infurated animal
inside, but on his making for the crowd near
the ladies gallery, they fed in all directions -
The frightened animal at their heels tore the
fence away in his course, and was now in a
space where probably not less than five thou,
sand persons. men women and children, were
collected. He fled down a narrow alley beneath
the ladies gallery, and there trampled under
foot several persons. Among these was an
old man, named Malick residing near Sandus-
ky, child in some manner related to Mr. vi.
and young lady. The two former were fatally
injured and died soon after The lady was
seriously hurt. Several other trifling accidents
occurred, but no one was seriously injured.

min taken from the bark Maurice on the
l4th.
A little after o'clock, on the 18th, dense
volumes of smoke burst from the after entrance
of the Steerage The ship was instantly put
at half speed, at which she continued until the
magazine exploded The engineers, it is in
ferred, were instantly suffocated. Fire was
next seen breaking through the lights amid
ships and travelled aft with fearful rapidity
Some persons let down boat from the port
side of the quarterback, and she was thought
to be crushed under the screw. An attempt
was made to launch boat on the star5oard
side, but it was swamped from the numbers
who rushed into it and were all lost. All the
first cabin passengers were on the poop except
a few gentlemen who must have been smoth-
cred in the smoking room.
Many SeCondcaDin passengers were also on
the poop, but a number of them got shut into
their cabin by fire. Some of them were pulled
up through the ventilator, but the greater num-
ber could not be extrcated The last woman
drawn up said there were six already suffocat-
ed. The ladies and gentlemen on the poop
jumped into the sea- by twos and threes, some
of the ladies in flames Several heSitated, but
were driven to it at the last moment In half
an hour not a soul was TO be seen on the poop.
The French bark Maurice, Captain Ernest
Bruce, came along the steamer at about 5
o'clock, p. NJ, and rescued 40 persons, chiefly
taken off the bowsprit. A few were picked up
floating around.
AT about o'clock one of the metallic beats
came up with about % persons in it, including
the first and third officers Afterwards three
or four men were picked up floating on piece
of a broken boat. The second officer was TAX
en- up, having been swimming for six hours
He aud the third officer were severely burned.
One male passenger was burnt frightlully aud
others slightly There were but six women
saved, three OF whom were burnt
Norwegian bark came up with the steamer
the next morning, and a boat was observed
going round the burning ship. They may have
picked up few persons, and only few.
