Excellent and benifct Mt public service!"
Great God! Is it possible that a man in
human shape can forget himself so far as
to write about the "benifcent public SER
vice" Of such CT, AZURE as Abraham Lin
coin. Ex-Governor Randall i Elk Minister
to Rome and now Second Asst. P. NJ.
General in late social interview on the
Mc5regor Western cars told us Lincoln
story, so low, so coarse, SO dirty, SO vulgar,
that we have no patience with men who
write or speak Of the "exalted service" OF
the man who occupies the White House.
Ard yet Randall told the story from Lin
eoia's mouth as credit to "thc joker -

eharactsrs lead public opinion.

Charles Delano.
D. d. Fraser Esq informs US that the
train of the Mciregor W. r. w. due at s,
A. NJ. on Saturday last, was only saved
from destruction by the promptness and
fealessness of the gentleman whose name
heads this article. Something gave way,
near the 4th bridge west of the Grist Mill,
and the cars were humping the ties, eff
the track. In an instant Charley seized
the bell.rope and pulled vigoursly-then
be sprang to the breaks, and, by the
alarmed assistance of others, succeeded in
stopping the train just as it reached the
bridge. The fall would have been - to
20 feet sufficient to have made very
interesting episode in the life Of those on
board. All honor to Delano, the Freight
Conductor of the train.
D. D. tells us he was urging the claim of
the Wis. Life ms. Co. at the time the
(almosD accident took place, and that
Beedy Of Harden asked ''if we should run
off now and get killed, would your receipt
for the policy money be good with the
Company" Certainly, said dan" and
in minute after, the alarm took place.
AS the passengers sprang out Of the car in
their hurry to escape precipitation off the
bridge, Beedy cried out, half fun, half
earnest, "give me my policy, quick" This
is good note Cor the Agents of Life In
surance Com panies. Less promptness on
the part of DELANo, might have resulted
in the death Of dozen of the passengers.
CHARLEY, please draw on the TINES office
for supplies.

that number Of tickets were sold. The
Hopkins Concert Band was in its best
Trim, though for once in our lives, We saw
. shade Of sadness on TIx's brow, owing,
perhaps, to the fact that the rapid move

nounced the finest and most successful o:

The Election.

The Election.
If any man is still in doubt rs to whom
he should vote for, we do not wish to annoy
hin with arguments. This IS our last issue
relating to the present canvass, and we are
glad of it. Politics was never much to our
taste, and just now We are less inclined
than ever to plague ourselves about it. If
the American people want a 'joker" for
President they will re-elect Mr.. Lincoln
if they want MAN they will vote for Nc
CLELLAN. The result will show whether
q clown and blunderer is preferred by our
countrymen to one Of the most brilliant
officers and accomplished gentlemen known
to the Republic.
If you want taxation and drafts, to free
.sur ''colored brothers." 60 in for "Old
Ahe," and you will secure the point.

We are favored by an esteemed friend
with communications relative to the "Coun-

the foreman of the office tells US there is
no possible space for such long articles and
much to our regret We yield to fate and the
foreman.
The points made by our friend are that
SoTsrER, the Democratic candidate for clerk,
is young, active, we'll qualified business
man and that II. S. Granger, the present
incumbent, is not at all qualified by know
ledge or habits to fill the place he occu.

tackled FREsE for his youthfulness and
want of experience, but the difference be-
tween Frese and JOE is that the former

and the latter has acquired little less than

dicule to al the country. Our correspond
ent writes as follows of Mr.. Fress
