FATAL ACCIDENTS On Saturday last,
man by the name Of Harrison Winter,
from Wayne township, in this County,
under the influence Of inloxication, took
his position on the track Of the s, & 1.
R. R., near Gould's station, and was
thrown upon the COW catcher, receiving
fatal wound, from which he died in
short time. Proper alarm was given by
the Engineer to which he paid noSatien-
tion. An effort was made to stop the train
by reversing the Engine, but without
effect until it was too late to save the
unfortunate man. Coroner Boals held
an inquest over the body of the deceased,
aud the jury rendered verdict in accor-
dance with the facts in the case. 1t is
said that Winter, when drunk, ha6.often
said that it was tyranny for the cars to
claim more than half the track, and the
presumption is that in this instance he
determined to claim his right.

CORoNER's INQUEST. I'VE mentioned
last week, the case Of the supposed mur
der of Mrs. Brogan, by her husband -
Coroner Boals, who promptly arrested
Brogan, held an inquest over the body Of
the deceased, and the jury rendered a
verdict that, the deceased came TO her
death by blows inflicted by the hand ol
her husband, Michael Brogan. Brogan
was brought before Justice Patterson, and
alter fair aud impartial examination, was
committed to Jail, in default Of $4,000
bail, to await final trial. The exciting
cause Of this murder was Whisky, W.
suppose Brogan is abou! as good citizer
as our Whisky sellers in general, and a'
justly entitled to his privilege to kill peo
pie at pleasure. "We live in a. free
country" .y4 3.

HON. WEI a. PORTER.

IN another column Of our paper this week VIII
be 70 und The letter of the above named gentleman,
rendering to Governor Packer his resignation O:
the Office Of Supreme Judge which he now holds.
1t is i manly, straig forward and independent
document, ard clearly sets forth the reasons which
impel hin, to this course. We have no doubt
they will prove satisfactory to the Democracy
who sustained him at the late election. We re-
grct the retirement Of Judge Porter from the Su-
preme Bench. The opinions delivered by him
during his brief career as Judge show that he
is not only thorough master of all the learning
Of the legal profession but is also possessed in an
eminent degree of that strong practical common
sense which is essentially necessary to constitute
a model Minister Of Justice His recent defeat
will not degrade him in the estimation of the
Democracy Of his native State, and we confidently
predict that future honOrs are in store for him.
We have no disposition at present to refer at
length to the efforts of few during the late
campaign, who style themselves Democrats, to
defeat Judge Porter. They basely abandoned
and betrayed the party that gave them all the
political reputation they possessed, and made
common cause with the men who had maligned
them tjme and again. The renegade Forney,
from the very commencement of the campaign,
evinced disposition to oppose Judge Porter,
and towards it's close th.ew off the mask and
openly opposed him. And now he is daily en-
gagged in shouting, through the columns Of tie
Press, over the rebuke 20 the National Admins
tration which he asserts the defeat of Judge
Porter carries with it. That Forney has ceased
20 be Democrat his most ardent admirers dc
not now attempt to deny. Even the Demo
Gratis in this place. who seem to regard the
Press as sort of political Bible, are either
ashamed or afraid to defend It's recreant course
The men who were once SO active in getting ur
Clubs Cor it, now openly acknowledge that it il
an Abolition organ-unworthy Of tie confidence
of Democrats. Yet. strange to say, they al
continue to patronize and pcruse it, and seem t
borrow all their political notions ltom il. Forne

THE QUESTION SETTLED.

Bell. of the Tyrone Star, last week raised to
the masthead of his paper the name OF SIMON
CAMERON as the Peoples candidate for President
in 1860. This we presume is final, binding and
conclusive on all people interested. The Peoples
organ, edited by one Of the People, hath spoken
out in favor of the old Winnebago chieftain, and
consequently, he is now fairly in the field
When he is elected he will doubtless reward the
illustrious Bell by making the Tyrone Star his
organ, Simon, they say, always remembers his
friends, and we have no doubt our Blair county
friend will be properly rewarded for his valuable
services, when a favorable opportunity for so
doing presents itself.
1t is certainly rich and rare idea that Simon
Cameron is fit to occupy the position of Chief
Magistrate of the United States. He has neither
the honesty or abilities which the station re-
auires, and to call him even an ordinary statesman
is supremely ridiculous. He is nothing but cum
ming dishonest, trading and treacherous poiti-
clan, and owes all the influence he wields, and
all the reputation he possesses, to the unscrupu-
lous use of his money. Like the editor of the
Star, he adhered to the Democratic party as
long as it pro,ed paying institution, but aban'
doned il soon as he perceived a better chance
for tie loaves and fishes in the Opposition ranks
We would like to see Simon in the field for .ht
Presidency. He would not carry single State
! in the Union.

THE AMERICANS.

We have been frequently asked of late what
has become Of the Know Nothing party Have
the 'Sons Of the Sires of '76" given up the ghost
IN despair, and are we no longer to have Ameri-
cans to put on suard?" Three years ago they
were a formidable party, and threa ened our free
institutions with destruction; it is impossible
to get corporals guard of them together in nor
thern State. And thus it has always been with
the enemies Of the Democratic party, from the
organization of our National Government up to
the present time. They are constantly changing
their principles and platform in order to deceive
the people. BY pursuing this course, they some
times secure temporary success. But the d.
mocracy always eventually triumph. My,
even the successor of Know Nothngism the
Black Republican party, has already been ig-
nored, and the Peoples Party inauguratcd! We
will not attempt to conjecture what high-sound-
ing title they will assume for the contest of 1860
As the Democracy intend triumphing that year
our Opposition friends should not waste any o.
their sOnoTows titles in hopeless cause.

Worth Knowing.

One pound Of green copperas, cost,
mg seven cents, dissolved in one quart
OF water, and poured down u privy,
will ehectualIy concentrate and dis
troy the ioulest smells! For water
closets ships and steamboats,, about
hotels and other public places. there is
nothing so nice to cleanse places as
simple green coppcras dissolved; and
for sick rooms, itmay be placed under
the bed in anything that will hold wa
ter, and thus render q hospital or
other places for the sick, free from
unpleasant smells. For butchers
stalls, fish markets, slaughtcr-houscs,
sinks, and wherever there are often
sive or putrid gases, dissolve coppcras
and sprinkle it about, and in a few
days the smell will pass away. If 4
cat, rat or mouse dies about the house,
and sends forth an offensive gas, place
some dissolved copperas in an open
vessel near the place where the nui-
sance is, and it will soon purify the
atmosphere.
