p9> A most remarkable accident hap
pened Frank Ayers, Of Rochester. He
was seated in a carriage when the horses
s.shied," throwing Mr. Ayers very sudden
from his scat. In falling out, his head
was inserted between two of the spokcs of
the off hind wheel, while his feet project
ed upward. Being powerful man, he
grasped the wheel with both hands, and
by main strength, Notwithstanding the
horses were prancing about, held the
wheel stiff with both hands until he was
rescued. Nothing but his smuscular strength
and presence of mind saved him from an
instantaneous and horrible death.
WEALTH OF THE CoLoRED PEorLE.-
The True Roya1ist &C. W. has commen-
ced publishing list of the colored peo-
pie Of those parts with the respective
amount Of property owned by each. CON-
mencing with Maulden townships the list
shows one person worth over $4,000, one
worth $4,000, three worth $1,000, six
worth $500, two worth 5000, seven worth
$500, two worth s4OO, eight worth $3.50,
and one worth less than $500. The az
gregate value Of the property OF thirty
one men taken as they come, is shown to
be s2l 1898, giving an average to each of
$500. So much for the representations
Of the slaveholding Democracy concerning
the "abject poverty Of the free negroes
in Canada.
REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE IN MAR
BLEHEAD.-The Boston Post, of the 28th
ult., says 1--WE learn by pravite letter
from Marblehead of a singular occurrence
in that place. Some time last week. Mr..
Eban Harris, who keeps a number of
fowls, was driving them into the COOP in
which they were usually confined during
the night, when one of the cocks became
enraged, and Jumping up struck him with
his spur just below his knee Mr.. Harris
paid little attention to the wound, which
did not trouble him until last Monday,
when he started to 60 to Salem. He had
proceeded about four miles, when he was
taken with very sudden and severe pain
in his leg, and was taken back to his house
and put to bed. He has suffered great
pain and has lost his sleep since that time,
and the letter states that on Friday night
he crowed like rooster The physicians
have given him up to die.'
ADvERTIs1Na.-We frequently hear
business men remark: eve are established

Let US take this theory and apply it to our

sands Of dollars for that which some saw is
useless when business man becomes "es-
