FATAL MIxING AccIpENr.-There was a
cave of dirt in the American shaft claim in
Chill Gulch, on Thursday afternoon, which
resulted in the death of two men and the
wounding Of another. TIE afternoon shift
had been down but few minutes when the
ground overhead gave way, instantly killing
John McMahon and Frank Jefferson. Mr..
Colby was caught by the falling dirt, but
was taken out without being seriously injur-
ed McMahon had Just been Gisch rged from
Co. 4, Second Infantry. in which he had
served three years. Jefferson had never
been down the shaft before, and had been
under ground only about twenty minutes
when the accident occurred by which he lost
his life. The melancholy catastrophe has
cast gloom over the mining camp where
it occurred. = Cdlaeerds Chroaicle.

One of our government officials Just re-
turned from Peru, tells us that among the
first and most frequent inquiries made Of
him there about our public men was, wheth-
er he knew or had ever seen the celebrated
American Chemist, DR.. j. c. Aver or Low
ell His remedies are foundin every village
from the elevated slopes of the Andes down
to the coast, and their remarkable cures
seem to attract even more attention there
thanh this country. The sentiment of won
der at their effects, takes far deeper hold
on half civilized and superstitious people
than it does with us where the rationale of
medical problems is 50 much more generally
uniary known to the masses of the people
in foreign countries or excited in them so
! lively an interest in himself as the Doctor
has by his skillul application of chemical
science to the treatment Of disease.
That must be duh man who does not
feel some pride of country when he finds
among distant nations that he is already,
known and welcome there, through the Ia
bors of our Statesman, Merchants and
Scholars, whose renown has become nation
al property, and consequently in some meas
ure his own. Whether DR.. Aver rene
dies do actually cure more that others ol
not, they have secured the reputation OF
being a God-send to those afflicted with dis
ease, and where great numbers in any com.
munity believe that they owe their health
and lives to ones skill they are sure to fee
an interest in him which will find expression
when they meet his countrymen. NottoRd

from the Republican of last week:
THE Sons OF LIBERTY,-Late Democracy.
have opened the campaign in this county
by proclaiming one section at q time, of the
principles by which they will be governed,
and to which aboitionism must submit -
One Of the rules promulgated by Son OF
Liberty is, that men who indorse the pres.
ept National Administration, shall not OK.
press their sentiments in the streets of Mill.
ersburg, and for the purpose of enforcing
this and other rules of the new organiza-
ton, and to resist the approaching draft,
eighteen hundred Enfield rifles have been
provided, to be placed in the hands of the
advocates of peace. Other rules and regu,
lations will be announced as soon as adopt,
cd to meet emergencies.
That will do pretty well for the deserter
and the man by whose hellishness from rs
to 100 has been added to the quota of this
county.
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-08-11

DON'T Do IT.-The meanness Of the ed
itor of the Republican in causing from 10 to
100 men to be added to the quota of this
county, and his shameless fllsehoods about
our citizens have incensed community
against him to such pitch that there il
danger of him being carried out of town or
a rail- We hope no violence may be done
him. Let the miserable cuss alone. He is
"played out"

NEVER MIND.-Those who endorse the
widow maker in prosecuting the war until
slavery is abolished, assert that the Niagara
peace negotiations are humbug, 1t is of
no use to reason with them about it, for
such men will listen to no reason; but you
can "dry them up by showing them Lin
coins letter $50 whom it may concern, il
which he declares bis determination to make
no peace, have no Union, until slavery il
abandoned. Every true Union man should
carry that letter about him, and when al
abolitionist talks of being for the Union
read it to him. This letter gives Lincoln
sentiments in plain English-in black ant
white-and his shoddyites and hireling
cannot get over it.
