a MANS LEG DRIVEN THROUGH An

rom the Ashtabula {Ohio) Sentinel
Ir. Z. D. Harmon, of Lenox, met
u Il a serious accident on Tuesday
morning, the 9th ult, He had loa-
ded his wagon with cheese boxes, with
the intention Of taking the same to
market. The end board to his wa.
gon not being sufficiently stayed,
the boxes together with his OVID
weight. caused the board to give way,
tier after tier of boxes rolled out Of
the wagon on the horses. AS might
be supposed, the horses became lrigh-
tened and ran. They were reined
out Of the road, and brought along
side of the barn, where Mr.. III. was
violently thrown from the wagon,
feet first against the barn door; and
strange as it may appear one foot
aud leg was actually driven through
the solid inch board forming part Of
the door. The boxes were scattered
IN all directions, the wagon was bro

up for dead. His injuries are not so

TIE aHOnorabIe" Dan Siekles.

The recent reconciliation Of MIR.
and Mrs. Sickles elicits almost as
much comment as the battle of Sol
Iftriuo. The Philadelphia Bulletin
thus remarks:
There never Was an honor that
had such reouperative powers as that
Of the Honorable Dan'l E. Sickles.
| A few months ago the honor aforesaid
was destroyed; he was totally Dis
Ihonored, and in bis humility would
liked to have been called-the Dis
honorable Dan'l E. Siekles. But
now, having made bis wife narrate
| for the public the whole story of her
shame; having killed Philip Barton
Key; having teen lion and a hero
in Washington for some months;
having stood trial for murder and
been acquitted amid the rejoicing
| of all Wa sbington. he takes to his
arms once more the gentle Teresa,
and lie honor is just es good as
ever it was! As for Mr.. Sickles, the
resumption Of conjugal relations With
her proves that be is at LAST con-
WINGED that she is just as pure and
! virtuous as be is. Of this, many
persons had already no doubt; bat
Ibis public acknowledgment of the
fact is quite iouching,apd it is crafty
ing to have the truth set so clearly
before the public eye.
Considering the happy results in
the total restoration Of the damaged
honor Of the Honorable Daniel E.
Siekles, in the killing Of Key, and
the excitement and expense to the
government Of bis trial and acquit'
tai, ought to take place, rather than
have any damage done to such a pre-
cious article as Dir. Sickles' honor

STATIONS Of the virtue, nobleness
Innd extreme fensibility of the Hon
iorable Danl E. Sickles; its publica-
itiop of Mrs. Sickles' narrative Of
the process by which her husband S
honor was damaged; is triumphal
celebration at the close-that trial
we say, was highly proper thing;
and it is seen in a peculiarly edifylng
light, now that Daniel and Teresa
are reconcilod, and consequently
must be recognized as quite equal
lin honor. The world cannot COM
plain of any effect that trial may
have had, so long asst bad the eff
fleet of reconciling the separated
man and wife, ard enabling them to
become once more ornaments oil our
best society.

WHAT IT MEANs.--Tbe readers OF
the current news of the day frequent
Iy hear of the Modification OF the
Prussian army. A French nilits.
journal explains this as follows:
The army Of Prussia is said to be
moJiA<ed when the numbers Of the
laudwehr {or militia) Of the first levy
are called into service in connection
with divisions Of the regular army;
aud, as each division consists gener-
ally Of $4,000 or $4,000 men, it is
at once doubled by the process Of
modification. The regiments thus
m0biHxea do not leave their military
districts until orders are given to that
effect, in consequence OF further dis
positions. By the term 'mobiliza.
tion,' therefore, nothing more is
meant than q simple Summons Of
the laDdwehr Of the first levy to mus.
ter into the ranks Of their military
posts, where they hold themselves
subject TO further orders in eonnee.
ton with the regular army.
Ndgydrs is the name Of people
who in the 9th century Invaded and
overrun Hungary, previously settled
by the Huns. The Magyars are still
the DOMINANT race 10 Hungary.
C0O!ie, OF Cooyl, or Kuh. is Hin
dostan word, aud meaas day laborer
The Europeans in Chioa have
adopted it to designate Chinese day
laborers. The term is therefore ap-
piled to The day laborers both Of
India and China.
Sdpoys (Hindoo, sepaha.) means
a native Of India employed 10 the
military services ola European power.
ZoUAvrs.-The latest edition, Gus,
published) Of Webster's quarto die
tlonary, gives this word the following
definition: THE name of an active
and hardy body of soldiers in French
service, originally Arabs, but now
Frenchmen who wear the Arab dress
1t is derived from the Arabic word
Zouaoua, coniederacy of the Arabic
tribes who live on tho mountains
back of Algiers.''
The term hors dc combat is a use
fol addition to the newspaper die
tionary stock. 1t includes all who
being neither killed or wounded, are
yet put out Of the battle-used ur,
done for, laid by. He who, at the
first smell Of gunpoWder, gets frigh-
tened and runs awsy,is plainly hors de
combat. Cases of govt and rheuma-
tism may also come under the title.

Southern Houses in New York

The New York Day Book is en-
gagged in a highly useful work, though
to some it might appear rather in
vidious-namely, pointing out the
commercial houses in New York en-

following as houses which have evel

Duties Of POStmaSterS.

We advise the general and lre-
quent publication Of the following
Post Office regulations for the in.
formation Of Postmastors who have
not studied tie Post Office Laws re-
lating to newspapers, and TO point
out duties and responsibilities rela-
ting to persons who neglect OF refuse
to lift their papers from the Office:
Whenever person TO whom q
newspaper is regularly addressed,
neglects or refuses to take said news
Taper from the Post Office within T.
reasonable length Of time, it shall be
the duty Of the Postmaster, at the Of
flee where such paper is not lifted, TO
give written notice TO the publisher
of the fact, setting forth the reasons
30 far as they may be known TO him.
The mere return Of newspaper
marked refused OF "not lifted, ,. is
not sufficient notice, and the publish
Ct is not obliged to pay any atten-
ton toit. The following is the fornl
Of legal Notice:
Name of Pest Office and date
Publisher Of name of newspaper.
SIR: Your paper addressed to name
OF individual is not taken out o.
this Office.
Reason state the reason i
known.
Name Of Postmaster.
This notice must be mailed to tht
publisher and fraDked by the Post
master. IF the publisher continues
10 send the paper, after being thu:
rotifed, the Postmaster may sci
the paper for the postage; but where
no notice has been given, or where
the Postmaster has neglected sen
ding the same, he is liable for th'
subscription, from the time the paper
was refused or not lifted, aud tht
publisher can collect the amount from
hin he same as from q regular sub
scriber.
1t is important Chat Postmaster
should bear this in mind, as pub
Usher Of newspaper cannot keel
trace of his subscribers, and ii is IN
fair that he should lose bis pay by
their negligence.

DETECTING a spy.

A clever device of a Piedmontese
Colonel, who was presiding over a
Court Martial, at Turin, is related;
"A man was tried on a charge OF
being an Austrian spy, but vehement
ly maintained that he was Milanese
trader. He, however, could not
produce any documents to prove
bis allegation, and could not salts
factorily explain why be was in
Piedmont. "Prisoner," SAID the
Colonel all at once, "come closer to
mel do not henr well" The
man advanced. "Ah," said the
Colonel, II see that you step with
the left foot forward, with your arms
close to your sides, and the little
finger on The steam of the trousers.
You are a soldier" The man,
greatly confused, could no longer de-
ny that be was both soldier and
spy.

which closes as follows: --"The gen.

transact their business, is, like all
'other laws, subject to change. nod

is no State in the Union which can

SLAVE CODE"

The Richmond Enquirer is right
(as the Southern Citizen aptIy says,
in declaring that the South demands
no "Slave Code" for Territories, any
more than horse code OF n house
code. The South only demands 8
code for the full protection Of all
property Without distinctions; so that
incendiaries may not vith imponity
hurn your house nor horse thieves
stenl your horse-nOr philsnthro-
pists run of your slaves
When We see the helpless imbecil-
ity of some Of our Southern newspa-
pers in dealing with this question, we
cannot but admire the straightforward
conduct of that one sole Southern
DemQcratic paper that is to be found
in all New England. The Democrat
10 Standard, Of Concord On. H.. J
Gen. Pierce's home organ and expo
nent, thus delivers itself:
The-iS mistaken in suppOs-
ing TINT we advocate ''congressiOn-
al code" fer the territories. That is
not our position. We advocate pro-
lection to property in slave labor in
the territories, as we do protection to
all other kinds ofproperty, if any al
tempt shall be made by the terrific
rial governments to interfere With it,
or to fail to give it the protection
which it needs. II may need no
other projections than the courts Of
the territories, and the federal gov
eminent can give. If so, the South
will be content, and no legislation by
Congress will be needed.
