and Julian IN Tue Burnt DissTict' continues in
intensity. One week ago Saturday night last,
His Excellency, notwithstanding his delicate
health, visited Csnreyille, reproduced his Rich

Republican fetorts upon the Governor. and e1-
poses the inconsistencies OF his speech with Re-
publican ideas, and. in conclusion, thus carries
the war into Africa:
We regret to hear that the Governor did not

status of his fue farm adjacent to Centreville.
his ''old friends and neighbour would have
been more interested in that subject than they

The above demonstrates some OF the heautie;
Of the revenue law. When the public officials
are not able 70 construe. who can decide?
PATENTS TO ISDrASIAss.-Among the list OF

To E. II. Coombs. OF Memphis. for box fol
packing eggs.
To T. J. Green, of Valparaiso, for improved
broom and mop head.

INSTANTLY kILLED.-On Sunday evening last,
a man oy the name of William McAnuny. a Sec
ton had on the Toledo. Wabash and Western
Railway, was instantly killed on the track. at
the bridge over Charley creek, west Of town.
Having the chills he had been to town to get
medicine. and was returning on the track. when
the freight going west struck him at the east end
of the bridge, and carrying him nearly across it,
left bis body, terribly mangled, Hanging across
tie rail, covered In two. with nothing but bis
~cloihing and a small ligament of the skin OF hs
back to hold the parts together.
A man some distance off, seeing a hat fall
, from the bridge to the ground, supposing that
some one Oh the train had lost il. and STOPPING
down to pick it up. discovered blood. He looked
up, and it was a shocking sight indeed; a man
cut literally in two. hanging "a above described
seross The rail, the blood streaming down from
bis bead or one side, and his ~entrails reaching
almos; to the ground upon the other side Ne
Anuuy wac quite deaf. sad we learn that the en-
gineer gave no warning Whatever on approaching
bin. nor did be : op or slacken his speed after
killing him, but SEED on as though nothing had
happened. Ii tn he so, the matter ought 10 be
looked into. There IA too much carelessuess on
the part o: some Of the conductors in passing
through towns, and there is a great deal on the
part OF citizens in waking and remaining on the
track when they kBow the train is approaching.
1t IS q great wonder thst there are no, more
lives lost in this way ,hsn there are Wabash
