COR RRESP NDENCE.
WritLen for The NmHrna Times.


Mr.. EOIToR:-The last number of your pa per
contained presumptuOus and degrading pro-
ductlon from Demosthenes," worthy only of a
scrbbler trained in the most heinous depths of
corruption, and, as a graduate, TO receive his
diploma from the highest class of inquity.-
HIS proud arrogance, no doubt, proceeds from
wounded self love, causing a selfish and evil
neart, and the actid humOr resulting therefrom
Issues from the wound not because it is ALWAYS
inflicted by poisoned arrow, but because the
whole body is tainted and corrupt. His promi.
nent character. we are lead TO believe, is the
result OF mortified pride and disa ppointed ambi-
tion.
Now, he who dea eth in proud arrogance, ~
practically. and therefore most .Ragrantiy and
emphGticGtty, scorns and sets at naught the
laws and usages OF refined civilized life and
although, this being the case, it would appear
too humIlatlng even TO notice his unmanly pro.
ductlon-but the grave charge he makes in
d1ees the undersigned to place himself in 3
condition to be made known to the i.rnoronus
We say" "ignoramuS." because, VINO ever hen r,

OF preot being adducPd to sustain il!

SAD AcoIDENr-On Friday last as the
2 o'clock train, going East, was leaving
Wooster Station, a sad accident occurred
resulting in the almost instant death of Mr.,
Joseph Miller, a resident of Harrisburgh,
Pa. Mr.. Miller had been en- a visit to
friends residing at Reedsburg in this county,
and was on his way home, having with
him a little girl. When the train came
up he put her aboard, and stood talking on
the West end of the Station platform with
some friends, there being a long freight
train, reaching East from the s%;ation some
twenty rods, between him and the passen-
ger train, when the latter started. To get
aboard he had to run the whole length Of
the freight train, and when be reached the
passenger train it was running ut the rate
Of fifteen miles an hour. In his attempt
to get aboard, it is supposed his foot slipped
under Que Of the wheels, which dragged
him down, when the box covering the end
Of the sxel, struck him in the forehead, kill-
ing him almost Instantly Wooster Reps6.

WIFE KILLERs.-A druggist, named
John H. Wilson, of New York, attempted
to dispose of his wife by the use of chic
reform. She retired at ten o'clock, lear-
ing her husband sitting up. About mid
night the occupant of another o de-

oughly~ stupetied. A handkerchief satura-

Wilson to consciousness. Her husband

THANKSGIVING IN KASsAs.-Free Kan.
sas has now great reason for thankfnlness.
A free State Constitution has been formed
and ratified blythe People. 1t will be pre-
.sented to the next Congress, and no doubt
will be approved. The total vote on adopt
ing the Constitution was l594s showing
a population of about 10000, SO that lack
OF people cannot be urged rs a reason for
refusing to admit tho young State.
Kansas comes up to Thanksgiving
through suffering, persecution, and blood /;
happily now succeeded by peace and plen-
ty in all her borders. Gov. Medary has
issued his Proclamation appointing Thurs
day, Nov. 24th, as day of Thanksgiving,
and we sincerely rejoice that the Executive
of Kansas can now with verify proclaim
"Peace and safety have entered every ham,
let, and quiet reigns supreme over our
