u very EooQ 1nlOg, SIT, or mauam, Is
furniture polish. We have no interest to
say which is the best in use. Any timer
ant will tell you for twenty-five cents.
But, dealing in the article in the abstract it
is an excellent thing to keep the surface of
your parlor furniture resplendent in their
sheen, and guiitless ofmar or spot. Elk
ccllent, truly excellent to keep old mahog-
anies. good as new, and rosewood and
black walnut intact from scratch or stnin.
But there is time for everything: A
time to dance, and q time to refrain from
dancing. 4 time to put polish upon your
furniture, and time to save your furni-
ture ITSELF and let its polish take care
Of itself Say your house is On fire, or
endangered. Stout arms are stretched out
to save your property. The moment urges
v1gor: The cracking Of the hostile flames
rises near, and rolls nearer. All is confu-
sion. In come the brawny fellows. They
empty the ctagere in trice, overturn the
piano and unscrcw its legs with more zeal
than caution. The sofa goes scurraying
out Of window, the arm chair actually
seems to take to its own legs in its
fright It is sad hour for varuish, cas-
tors, md upholstery, but the work must
go on. The property must be saved
How out Of place at such IN hour would
be the advent Of dapper and dainty man
with bottle Of furniture polish, to be ap-
Piled to your scratched furniture, not yet
out Of your imperilled house. "Here,
you fireman, rough fellow, unused to fine
furniture! stand back! set down that arm
chair. Let me mend its polish where you
hnve ma11ed it. 1t is the constitutional
right Of every article Of furniture in we'll
regulated families to be touched up with
furniture polish" Pray consider how the
GRAND Of the man OF polish would speed
at the above named juncturc in your af-
fairs.
It is an hour Of dire peril to our nation.
The flames Of rebellion are roaring and
cracking in other States Their glowing
cinders are falling upon prepared tinder in
the sill loyal States. The danger is i'm
minent. The page Of history is red With
the glare Of deadly warfare. Something
must be done or a1l is lost. At such IN
hour yigor and promptness and thorough
ness are al important. Nothing else can
save us, and yet the men with the fi1rni-
ture polish insist upon it that there is
nothing that just now requires more at
tention than the care Of the vanished sur
faces of our Society, which are being con
tinual1y scratched by these rough men
in shoulder straps.
It is all mistake, dangerous tamper-
ing with time. When the people rise into
condition Of serious and terrible anger at
the rebels, and are nerved as one man to
save the nation, We shall wonder that we
ever dallied so long, and lost so much
time over furniture polish. When the war
is ended, the fire put out, the nation saved
we may have general period Of re-var.
nisbing and re-polishing, but not now. It
is dangerous deceptive mockery.

immediately set to work with all their force
OF men, and host of willing volunteer hands,
to rescue the sufferers. One or two men.
who were near the surface hoped out at once
uninjured. Others were rescued by n little
digging; but when a crowd had collected.
and the painful facts of the disaster were
noised abroad, it was found that fifteen men
had been buried in the land slide, and that.
dead or living, they could only be brought to
the surface by painful and laborous toll. But
oh! how cheerfully the spectators took SHOW
els and picks to assist in the work, endanger-
ing their own lives by standing on the portion
OF the bank that remained entire.
Hundreds Of people congregated in the
streets-weepng wives, agonzed friends, and
strong-armed citizens. Mayor Van Alstyne
took command of the constables and Police
men, who assembled promptly, and by his eff
forts prevented second avalanche, from the
anxiety and curiosity of spectators. Soon

up at the time Of the accident, and gave way
when the earth that supported twas removed.

noise OF the accident, took refuge in the com

down to the river City Surveyor Fuller was
near the trench, and had To run for his life.
Mrs. Akin was looking over the boards and
estimates that there were over twenty men at
work. Jacobs & CaSwei's foreman estimates
the number at fifteen. Of these only five or
six are known to have be n saved. 1t is hoped
that the siding formed Il kind of roof that
might protect them. Collopy was found at

Fifteen Men Buried in n Seventeen of
them Probably Killed.

From the Troy Times, Oct. 10.
One of the most terrible and startling acct
dents that has occurred in Troy for many
years, took place at few minutes before noon
to-day. The large deep trench which is in
process of excavation on Jacob street, for
sewer, was the scene of the casualty. The
workmen to- day had reached a line with King
street, where the cutting is exceedingly heavy,
on occount of the rise of ground. Immense
piles of earth had been heaped up on each
bank, while the trench was protected by sid
1ngs OF plank firmly braced.
In spite of these precautions, the pressure
OF the earth proved too much for the sidings
thus erected, and few minutes before the
hour TOR going to dinner, the workmen in the
trench on the line of King street, for a dis
lance OF titty feet, were suddenly buried by an
avalanche OF dirt and gravel. Those digging
ON each OF the two platforms, as well as those
laying brick at the bottom, were alike enyel-
oped by the tuns of earth that filed I'D the
ditch. The first evidence of the disaster to
those above ground was sharp report, which
was caused by the swapping of a brace and a
plank. Another gave way, then another, fol-
lowed by the dull roar Of the ground as it
swallowed its victims.

building the sewer, who were both present,
