Mr.. Culver was one of the earliest of the

remarks:
Thus one after another the early settlers

Culver and his late partner have seen this
region from a forest become the home Of hap
py thousands, and they have done their part,
and done it well, in producing the magic

A Coop LAW-PosT MASTERS SPECIALLY IN
srRUcTED. Publishers Of newspapers and
Club subscribers have been greatly annoyed,
for years, by the neglect, in some cases, and
by the direct refusal in Others, Of fPostmasters
to deliver newspaper undirected from bundles
where lists ofnames had been furnished them
from which to make such delivery. Mr..
Colfax, Of Ind, publisher himseli, knew to
what inconvenience this refusal subjected
the great mass Of newspaper subscribers, and
he projected remedy in the early part Of
the present session. The bill compels Post
Masters to do what many Of them have
hitherto refused to do, and is now law
Let each Post Master where Club packages
are taken, be furnished with plainly written
list Of the subscribers, and be viii be obliged
to deliver the papers, however unpalatable
the doctrines promulgated may be to him.

Distressing Death.

Mr.. Dewall, farmer in Woodstock, N
Y, was killed a few days ago under the
most painful circumstances. The Kingston
Journal says:
He had been plOughing corn in one of his
fields, in sight of his dwelling, during the
forenoon Of that day, and when called to
dinner by his wife unhitched his horse from
the plough, threw the traces over its back
and mounted it to ride to the house. Just
as he was passing brook that ran across the
way, one of the traces slipped down, the
chain end of it wound closely around his
ankle and its hook caught in a link. His
horse was a spirited animal and Immediately
grew unmanagable; first it threw him from
its back and then started of at full speed
drawing him along on the ground. After it
ran to the barn and around it several times,
Mrs. Dewall saw the dreadful condition of
her husband and hastened out to his relief,
but this only frightened the animal the more,
and turning in another direction jumped over
a wood pile, causing dreadful mutilation of
Mr.. Dewalls DOdy, md tIaAn-ran "a Tor a
distance of two miles before any one could
stop it. The appearance of Mr.. DewalFs
person was horrid in the extreme. In the
flight of the horse he had been literally torn
and crushed to pieces. His head was a
mangled mass Along the way he had been
dragged, flesh and blood were seen. When
taken up he was altogether lifeless. This
terrible affair createda deep gloom over the
community in that section. The occurrence
Of such an accident when there was not the
slightest cause for apprehension Of danger,
and the awful manner of Mr.. Dewall's death,
made this an extraordinarily affective and
impressive casualty. Who can tell what
unseen dangers lurk around2

The BaItImore DoueIas Head-

The Baltimore Douglas Head-Qunrters.
The Baltimore correspondent Of the Chiea-
60 Press writes;
On the main street which leads from Bar
NUNS Hotel to the Front Street Theatre,
where the Convention is held, large flag is
hung across the street at a certain point, and
over door on one side of the street is a
banner beautifully wreathed with roses,
bearing the inscription DOUGLAS HEAD
QUARTERS" As the spectator glanees below
the banner, he observes the sign of grog-
shop. This circumstance is the subject of
much comment on the part of the passers-
by, the appropriateness of the inscription
striking every one at once. l suppose there
were never before gathered together in Amer
lea so many drunken men, all imbued with
one purpose. Whenever a knot is collected.
in the hotels or on the street. and loud talk

trumpeter of Douglas. These are not gen

text, they launch forth into strains of fierce
eloquence, which are only interrupted by
calls from the more delighted auditors to

Terrible tragedy and broad farce alternated
on the boards Of the Rump Baltimore Con-
vention from the rising to the final drop Of
the curtain. Many of the scenes were ex-
eitingly dramatic, and others provokingly
funny. On one occasion during the COnYen-
ton the crowd called for Flourney, Rynders,
Myricks, and Work. At the call for Work,
the reporter Of the N. 7. Times says, a singu-
larly appearing man got upon a chair and
began, amidst roars Of laughter, to make
speech. Perceiving that he was a character,
| took q seat quite near him, and observed
him closely. Some years since, a Judge
named Mann was trying cause in Missouri,
when one ofthe witnesses in addressing him,
called him "citizen Mann" For this the
Judge fined the individual, whose name was
Work, $500 and sent him TO jail for a week.
Ever after that he has gone by the name Of
" citizen" and this afternoon his spectacles
were upon the top of his head; his hair was
tumbled his neck handkerchief was united:
be wore vest as red as blood, and in his
hand he held damaged tile. Said he:-
