COMING ROUND TIE CORNER Yes
terday afternoon a dangerous collision
took place on the corner Of Crawford and
High streets, in which "hnop skirt"
was entirely destroyed, while "criDoline"
stood but miserable chance. The cir
eunstanoes are thus: Two ladies were
coming down High street, and three
ladies were passing up Crawford street,
the two were intended down Crawford,
and the three up High street.
We happened to be standing where
we could see both parties, and before the
collision took place we had concluded
that each party was going a. the rate of
about 2;39. Don't know why it was
but they were going unusually fast.
Unfortunately each party ro.ohoa the
corner Just at the same time, and around
it they whi.led, and between the two
wall side ones what smashing. Both
shriekcl aloud and thought about faint
ing, and no wuntles-there were hoops
broken and 'criuoline' mashed into moth
ingness. Perhaps in she course OF FIVE
minutes they had again come to them
selves, and each party continued on their
way Al "were spared to reach home.

ble man, the people ventured to sup.
port him, with considerable hesitancy
as was manifested by the fact that
with the desperate effort put forth, he
was able to carry but barely States
enough in the North TO elect him
Very many voted Tor him with tho fee
ling that il he betray ed the confidence
placed in him, they never would sup.
port the parry again. Well, hO d'd
betray them, and most basely too. and
the people have kept good their word
They. who elected him ia Punnsy Iva
MA by 10000, have now repuIia,ri
him by 10000 Of majority. Pierce
by betrayins tho people that place /
him in power, gave New Hampshire

has in like manner, lost and forever
los, his own State. Pennsyl auin may

The Democracy here entertained
very strong hopes oi carrying the
District, because they were assurcl
that Ashley would loose sally in
his own County. They would have
it, he WAS 80 exceedingly unpopular
at home, that Mnnsen would carry
Lucas County by 800 or 400 Of a
majority. Well. they came about
AZ near accuracy in their estimation
of Lucas County, as in realizing
their hopes Of carrying the District.
Lucas County gave the Democracy
4 majority Of 30 last fall, and this
tall, it gives Ashley majority OF
$50, gain for the Republicans OF
2lS in one year. And it ia to br
observed that the heaviest gains for
the Republicans, in the District, are
in Wood County, Fulton County.
and Lucas County, where Ashley ia
best known.

One of the greatest political revo'

modern Democracy ls not complete
ly annihilsted in that State, we can
not imagine what is wanting to ac
complish it. Why, while the Do

two years, is certainly not tho maj
