ACCIDENT AT ALL1ANcE.--On Friday
evening last, there was to be public school
exhibition at Alliance, Ohio, and about 500
persons were in tho second story of the
building in which it was to be held. Be-
for the performances had commenced the
floor gave way, and precipitated the entire
assembly to the lower story, killing young
girl named Atkins, and severely iniuring
several others. 1t was reported that anoth-
er of tho persons injured, young lady,
whose name we could not learn, died on
Saturday.-Pans6urg Gazette 24M.
WHAT MAKES Ir.-In case Kansas spurns
the bribc, and despisss the menace embod-
led in Mr. English's bill, and rejects the Ls-
compton Constitution in any shape, that bill
denies her admission into the Union till she
has 93,050 inhabitants. Three States ac-
cording to the census of 1850, have not this
population--California Delaware and Flor
ida. What makes them to differ!
RAILWAY MATTERs.---Tho Cleveland
Herald suggests that this spring "bids fair
to open new era upon railroad manage
mont" RailIoad agents arc being again
introduced, Mt least such is the case in Gin
cinnati, as we see by the Commercial, and
if one point rc-establishes the system, it will
spread like wild-fre. No business is so SEN
sitive as the railroad business, and at every
railway crossing is found good soil for jeal-
ousy between routes. The revival of bust
ness seems to set this jealousy effervescing
along the Southern routes, which arc dead
ly hostile to the Lake routes.
Rochester, April "a 1858.
The Court opened at 10 o'clock this
morning to sentence Ira Stout for the mur-
der of Charles NJ. Littles. Tho prisoner
was asked if he had anything to say He
replied: "Nothing; too much has been said
already" Judge Wells then sentenced him
to bo hung on the 18th of June, between
tho hours of II and 4 p. m. The prisoner
evinced no emotion at the verdict or tho
sentence.
JOHN McKEoN IN OFFICE AoArN.-Mr.
Sweeney, having been ordered to make the
sea voyage to England and back aaan for
the benefit of his health, has installed
John McKeon in tho District Attorneys Of
flee, where that gentleman must, doubtless,
feel quito at home, having held tho place
previously in his own right with general
satisfaction to the public Tribune
The WHEAT Within the past
two weeks We have travelled over the great
or portion Of the eastern part Of this coun-
ty, and we are highly gratifed to find that
the wheat crop looks remarkably well and
now promises All abundant harvest. And
farmers from other sections of the county
give favorable account of the prospect Of
their respective localities. Wayne County
Democrat.
Tho State of Vermont has appropriated
two thousand dollars for a monument tc
Ethan Allen, to be erected over his remains
lying in Green Mount Cemetery, Burlington
Vermont; the corner stone of which it is
proposed TO lay on the 10th day May next
being the eighty-third anniversary Of the
surprise and capture of Ticonderoga. 1t is
proposed to add colossal statue of the
old hero by private subscription.
SENTENCE CoMMUTED.--Gov. CHAsE has
commuted the sentence of death pronounced
against Joseph Loefner, of Cincinnati to
Imprisonment in the Penitentiary for life
The sanity of the murderer when tho ter
rible crime was committed and since, may
well be questioned. He was unmoved by
the news Of tho commutation.
CoNGREGATIoNAL SINGISG.-"You never
can have congregational singing if that is
all you have. Unloss You have singing in
the house, and singing in the shop, and
singing in the street-singing everywhere
until it becomes habit, you never can have
congregational singing 1t will be like the
cold drops, half-water, half-ico, which drip
in March from some cleft of rock, one
drop here, and one drop there; whereas it
should be like the August shower which
comes ten million drops at once and roars
