A BLAZING METEoR.-Mr. George Morrison
states as he was coming down the plank road
on Tuesday, a few miles from town, he OBJ
served a large ball of fire, with an apparent
tail of thirty feet, descending from above to the
earth. He heard no noise when it struck the
ground, though this may have been on account
of the rumbling of a wagon between him and
the point where it fell. He did not discover
any trace that ii left. The blaze of the descend
ing mass is described as vivid, and was seen
by other parties on the -F}ederickS5arg
(Fa.l Herald.

THE JAVA OUTRAGE--Our Beirut (Syria)
correspondent writes, under date of Oct. 10,
that through the energy of the American Con-
sular authorities at Beirut, the perpetrators
of the outrage upon the Dickinson {American)
family, have at last been brought to justice
Four of the accused have been imprisoned for
life, and the dead body of the fifth and princi-
pal criminal had been brought into Beirut
This promptness has caused a much higher
estimate to be placed in Syria upon the Ameri-
can name and power.-Bost. Tyar.

KEEP YOUR SEATS IN THE CARS.-Of the
twelve passengers who were killed on the ex-
cursicn train, in Wisconsin, few days since,
seven are reported by the papers as being at
the time of the accident as follows: One in the
Post-Offiee car, three in the baggage car, and
three on the platform; of the other five the
account does not state where they were, but
as two of them are stated to be in the employ
of the company, it is to be inferred they were
not in the regular passenger seats, and the
other three may have been in their seat or may
not, the papers do not state; but as not one
lady was killed, and as they were large pro-
portion of the party the presumption is, not
one of the men killed was where, by the rules
of the company, and by the dictates of COM
mon prudence he should have been.
Had that "notice 10 passengers on the car
door, forbidding them to stand on the plat
form, been regarded, not life would have
been lost Why will rot passengers obey that
rulel The answer is plain. In very many
instances they are so welded to tobacco that
they must smoke, even at the peril of their
liveS-BUfaio Republic.

Onion Benerolent Soeiety.-We present below
the twenty-third annual report of the Union
benevolent Society, detailing It's operations
during the year ending Nov. 1st, 1889. An ur-
gent appeal is made to citizens for subscrip-
tions, to which we desire to call their serious
attention. The relief of suffering is a para
mount duty, and benevslence, without osten-
tation, the noblest trait of the human charac-
