4iccie1ent.-On Friday evening, about four
O'Clock, 4 wagon, driven by "a son of Mr..
John w. Camp, containing his wife, another
lady, and two or three children Of Mr.
Camps, while coming down Grace street,
was upset near the corner of 9th, the wheels
Of the wagon going over the body Of the
driver, who at the time, said that he vas un-
hurt. Most, il not all, Of the occupants of
the wagon, were injured. A little girl, Mr..
Camps daughter, very sprightly aud inteli-
gent, received 4 severe cut on the head as
well as some bruises on her limbs; Mis-.
Camp was cut upon the face, being also bad
ly bruised-in fact, all of them were more
or less injured. Some time after the occur
renee MIR. Camps son, who had been driving
the wagon, complained of being unwell, Che
had made no complaint at the time Of the
accident,) and experienced some difficulty in
walking. DR.. Harrison was called in aud
rendered the necessary medical attention.
AT the time of the accident the children
were carried into the house of Mr. T. j.
Evans, and the ladies into that Mrs. VIM.
Mitchell, where they were treated with all
the kindness whicls@thelr situation re-
quired.
Regulating Tie Ric<s-C Conaaenda5le 1;iose on
The Iat Of lie Eutchers.-We mentioned some
city to bring down the prices, and tix some
standard governing the sale Of all articles of
provisions. Since that time We have ascer-
tanned that such is the fact, and, as prelini-
nary step, q meeting Of all the butchers took
place one day last week, in compliance with
Il request from Major VIM. ii. Smith, to ar.
range some plan for the purchase Of cattle.
At that meeting a committee was appointed
to consider the matter, which committee
met on Friday evening last and drew up the
following propositions, which have been
submitted TO the Government authorities
,"MajOr ". IL. Smith-Sir: We, the under
signed butchers, having met together at your
request TO ix standard price orpurchasing
cattle TO be slaughtered for the Inhabitants
Of this city, SO as not to conflict with pur-
chasers for the Government, and also to re-
duce the price of beef from our stalls, re-
spectfully submit the following propositions:
81. That all cattle en- route 10 this market
tor sale On arrival shall not be Impressed or
interfered with by the Government
'2. That ii Is quite incOnyenient at times
for us to leave our stalls to lay in cur sup
plies, or to get suitable agents to do tile
same satisfactorily. and that the owners of
stock may be permitted to bring it here, by
allowing price above the Government price
sufficient to cover all lisk-driitage and ex-
penfa
SO. That our profit will be principally
regulated by the value OF the fifth quarter,
and the quality Of the cattle must regulate
the price thereof; We, therefore, request that
we may pay in fhis market from 20 to "a
cents gross for fair to extra cattle, and that
we retail the same from our stalls from 80 t0
..:l1 cents net by retail, which will be redue-
tiOn of about Onehalf from present rates.
~. From the above propositions it will be
seen that the farmer and butcher have re
luced the present prices ono hall, while heir
| expenses in all articles necessary and mdis-
| pei.s able are still ut inflated prices, with an
| upward tendency; and il everything useful
| for the support of the needy were likewise
| reduced 80 per cent. the evil which is sought
| 10 be rcmedied would in great measure be
| ayerted.
"5 We earnestly hope, should the above
| liberal propositions be accepted, that you
| use all proper means 10 have all Other neces
saries of life reduced in a like ratio. Should
| the above result be not enforced, the above
obligations to be null and void after lst ol
| November next.
.'G. The above resolutions 10 be put in
force from and after the l0th of October
next"
