Q FATAL AcoIpESr.-On Monday morn
ing last, JOHN DOWNING, an old and res
pectable resident of the town of Crockery,
in this county, was found dead in the
lumber woods, where he was engaged at
work. 1t is probable, from the position
in which the body was found, the skull
being badly broken, that his death was
occasioned by the accidental fall or slip
ping Of saw log, about which he was at
work.

The New SCHOOL BUILpING.-We
are gratifed that the suggestions made
by us recently in the Ne,cs, relative to its
necessity, and the advantages that would
result to our village from the erection and
proper furnishing of house to accom-
modate the pupils of the Union School of
of our village meets with the favor of n
large portion Of our citizens. We must
have new building for that purpose,
soon. A few days since, we were passing
within full view of the school room at
the time Of dismissal for noon recess, and
we are confident that the report of the
inadequacy of tho room allotted to so
large number of pupils is not in the
least exaggerated. The health and COM
fort of our children and youth demand
that effective action should be taken, and
taken without unnecessary delay to make
them comfortable. No plea Of inability
can be consistently urged by our citizens
The willing hearts and minds that have
erected, recently, two fine churches, can
with the additional assistance that may
DO derived from nonresident property
erect school house of eqlal respectable
ity, and in every respect, commensurate
with the wants of community. Let ey
cry citizen, favorable to the project, giy'
the ball set in motion, fresh impetus

LECTURES NO YOUNG MEN.


We were much pleased to notice large
attendance Of young men upon the morn
ing service, at The Congregational Church,
on Sunday morning last. The lecture for
their more special benefit, delivered by the
Pastor, was intensely interesting and well
calculated to benefit, not only young men,
but every other class of the large audi
ence. No person in our village, just en-
teripg upon the great stage of action in
the moral and political world, should alb
sent himself from these lectures. He will
hear from Mr.. ASDrRsoN, who WAS once
Young but now somewhat advanced in
wears, and who has doubtless learned
many important truths by experience as
well as observation, much friendly coun-
sci and advice, that followed,wiil make oy-
cry young man what he should be-a
pattern in excellency of principle, stability
of character, integrity of purpose aud well
doing, and strictly honest in his inter-
course and dealings with his fellows.
Young men, and ladies, too, by all
means attend these sermons. The next
one is to be delivered Sunday morning
next.

re- The Cincinnati Platform was two

Fey The Cincinnati Platform was two
faced. The Southern democracy gave 1t
one construction, and the Northern wing
gave it another, whilst both insisted 1t was
understood alike in all parts of the country.
The Republicans tried to convince the peo-
pie that the thing was afraud, and somebody
was evidently to be cheated, butfailed to do
SO. The Democrats were successful -Four
years have passed away, and how does the
90 auestion now stand2 The Democracy are
split into warning factions-each accusing
the other of putting a wrong construction
m the Cincinnati Platform. Thus have the
predictions of the Republicans been verified
In 1856, the Democrats, in the Free States
insisted that the people of Kansas should be
permitted to regulate their domestic lnstltu-
tions in their own way, and should be adj
nitted into the Union so soon as they form
ed a State Constitution, fairly embodying
the wishes of a majority of the citizens OF
the Territory, and applied for such adms
Aion. Four years have passed, and yet Kan
sas is out of the Union. The democratic
party offered to admit her if she would EN-
body clause in her Constitution recognlz
ing slavery, but when she Indignantly spurn
ed the offer, the door Of the Union was shu
in her face. Thus do democratic politician
verify their promises to the people.
We this year have an additional eyIdenc
of the insincerity of at least one portion o
the party. They have nominated maj
for President, who, in 1854, said the Nilsson

of the American people and no ruthles
