TERRIBLE AccIDENT.-On Friday
evening Mrs. Speichcr, 4 resident
of Bryan, and one child, were so
terribly burned that they died with
in six hours. Another child was
badly burned, and is not expected
to recover. Their death WAS caused
by the explosion of a can contain
ing carbon oil, setting fire to their
clothing. Mrs. Spcichcr had lit
the the lamp, had taken off the top
and was pouring in more oil from
a tin can. The top Of the can was
tight CLOSED by a screw and it is
supposed gas had been generated
and confined in the top above the
spout, and when the oil was pour
ed out some of the gas escaped,
caught fire, and ignite the remain
der in the can-heEco the eXplo-
sion. The remains of Mrs. Spcichcr
and child were sent to Wooster,
Ohio, her former home, for burial.
This is the most terrible accident
that has ever occurred in this sec
tion.-BryaA Leader.

THOUGHTS.

If there's any sunshine
Let your spirit find it;
Let the by-gone darkness
Go, and never mind it;
Ifyour path has flowers,
Gather them to day,
Lest the winds tomorrow
Give them to decay.
Why should YOU go dropping
When the birds are merry,
Plucking every thorn,
Leaving every berry;
Looking down forever
In the dark before you,
When the stars and angels
Sing forever DER you?
Let the eye Of Innocence
Brighten in its sadness,
Gazing on the beautiful
Only in its gladncssi
Turn away from loathsome things,
Hope a sunny morrow;
They are vile, who love to turn
Days to nights Of sorrow.
Time is hut a river
Etcrnity-ward driven,
Every wave doth bear the good
Nearer to their heaven;
Not a dew.drop will Ic lost
From creation ever,
Purified, twill float at last.
In life's peaceful river,
Fearing, loathing naught but sin,
Gather all lifc's honey,
All the flowers that cluster thick
By the streamlets sunny
Not in vain the holy soul
Calleth at heavens portal,
All the lovely things of earth
There will be immortal.

THE TWO BRIDES:
BY n. n. GODDARD.



BY R. n. sToDDARD.
-
l saw two maids at the kirk,
And both were fair and sweet;
One was in her bridal robe,
One in her wind sheet.
The choristers saa he hymns,
The sacred rites yer read
And one for life to Life,
And one to Death, was wed!
They went to their bridal beds
In loevliness and bloom:
One in a merry castle,
One in a silent tomb.
One to the world of sleep,
Lock'd in the arms of Love
And one to the arms of Death,
Passed to the heavens above.
One to the morrow woke,
In a world of sin and pain
But the other was happier far,
And never woke again!

McCLAIN, the world renowned Artist,

a good likeness, to give him a call.
Mac. is prepared to take Pictures in all
kinds of weather, and of any size, from the
smallest Lockct or Pin, to the life size Plot
ograph. Having been permanently estob-
lished in the city of Eaton, as an artist, for
several years, and being fully posted in all
the late styles and improvements, he will
guarantee satisfaction to all who may wish
anything in his line. Copies taken from old
Daguerrcotypes, Portrait Paintings, Land
scapes, Residences, &c. He would also in
form the public that he has greatly reduced
the price of Pictures of late, therefore none
need go without their miniature, when they
can get it complete in a case for the small
sum of fifty cents.

NOW THE GOTERNMENT IS I'M
POSED UPON.

Perhaps in no department Of the
public service is the Government
so shamcfuIIy imposed upon as by
the horse .jochcys. The way the
latter, through the instrumentaIity
of the contractor and Government
agents fleece the Administration Is
a caution. Huntington, Pennsyl-
vania, is a depot for the purchase
of cavalry horses. The kind OF
purchases made is thus noticed
by the Huntington "Journal' of
this week -
ave venture the assertion that
of seven hundred horses purchased
and branded at this place six hun
dred or more are unfit for the SER
vice. As an example: on Friday
last, horses were inspected and
passed after dark, and branded
when the light of " candle would
have been necessary to perform the
operation. One was afflicted with
poll cciI. and was led through our
streets by our boys as a rare show,
and finally tied to a fence, where
scores of people visited him, anc
could be witnesses to the fact. A
WAGNER in town informed US The
animal was over twenty years o
age"
What a splendid cavalry we shall
have when the men are mount
ed on such horses! They will
throw the celebrated cavalry OF tn,
French Murat into the shade.

na. We are in favor Of givingto
every man the rights guaranteed
to him as u citizen of the United
States. We are opposed to any
usurpation, on the part of the
Administration. Our rulers should
be held as amenable to the laws, as
the humblest citizen in the land,
and instead of violating, should set
an example of rigidly adhering to
their provisions but if there is one
class OF our people, who, more than
another, deserve an arbitrary pun
ishment, it is that class Of Adolf
ton fanatics, of the Beecher school,
who are before God and the coun-
try, particcpS criminis in the de-
struction of the happiness of our
people, and the glory and strength
of the American Union.

a nITsTAKE, PROBABLY.
From long article in the Richmond Enquirer of
The 26th, we extract the following paragraph:

y from long article IN the hlcnmonu enquirer vi
the 2sth, we extract the following paragraph;
The struggle between North and sonth has 50
far narrowed down, that the status of Missouri,
Kentucky and Maryland, is the only problem to
be solved The sell of each is to be the theater of
the bloody discussion. There will be no peace
until Il Is settled whether these States be ours or
theirs. Settle this, and peace will soon follow.
The question Is undergoing solution in the first
named States. Butt Maryland the issue is not yet
joined. The delay serves to prolong the war. It
strengthens the grip of the enemy, and it weakens
our friends. Let us then contrive the speediest
possible decision.
We cannot believe with the Enquirer. Would
that we could. II we could we should regard a
great question as substantially settled between
the Sosth and the North. But, 1.-THE status of
Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland important,
beyond all doubts but an incident taken in con-
neotion with the mighty issues involved. With
those States irrecoverably in the possession Of the
Abolitionists, there would still remain magnif-
cent Southern Confederaey. But with those States
in the undisputed possession of the Confederate
Government, and a city we wot Of, Of some two
hundred and fifty thousands, in the possession of
the enemy, such a thing as Southern Confederacy
is an impossibility we mean ON q powerful and
extended scale. That city, on account of its geo.
graphical locality, and the peculiar position it
| occupies, rendering it not only immeasurably
valuable, but absolutely indispensable, is New Or
leans. Let any intelligent man examine his map
and the truth of what we say will become i'm
| mediately apparent.
| While nothing would please us more than the
absolute expulsion of the enemy from the Cypress
/ ed Gommonw earths named, still we would be graft
i fed if little more attention was bestowed upon
measures for the protection of the priceless jewel,
