the place, taking the house entirely: away, and
not leaving spllnser-only the seoused ruins
ofthe cellar. Ar. Mceheniker and two children
Zone dve and tho other sessn years old) xere
killed. He was carried about fifteen rods from
the house, eastward, and the two children = few
rods further, where they were found most
dreadsully mangled. Mrs. Mecheaiker was
found few rods from the house, with broken
arm, and one child WAS found alive, but badly
bruised. Two horses were killed, and carried
not less than twelve or fifteen rods. One biz
rock, weighing not less than quarter Of ton,
was carried twen.y-si1 PAGES. Fences were al

About 3 mile and half west, another house

A CINCINNATI FALSEHOOD.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has assumed task.
which the Chicago Times has never had the
hardihood to undertake, to wit: that Of talsi-
flying the popular vote Of Illinois for members
Of the Legislature in 1853, 80 as to show
majority for Ar. Douglas. We repeat that
neither the Chicago Times nor my other NEWS
paper in Illinois, nor Senator Douglas ,hinase!yt.
has ever pretended that he received as many
votes from the people: in that contest az AE.
Lincoln. If the facts were such as the Eaqui-
4er would hayo its readers believe, is it likely
that the Douglas organs in this State would
have totally overlooked it, when the contrary
figures have been thrown 81 them hundreds
Of times? Is it likely that Nj. Douglas, with
his weakness for magni5irg his own achieve
ments1 would have failed to proclaim it from
his seat in the Senator The truth is, he knew
that Tr,unbu1l had an Official transcript Of the
returns in his desk, with which to ex.ingui.ll
the brief candle Of his triumph On the instant;
and 80 much has he feared the consequences
Of the exposition, that he has never even men.
