WAENING.-We would again warn
careless people Of the danger attending
careless handling of Kerosene lamps.
Our exchanges are flied with accounts
OF accidents from this cause by which
women, children and servants lose their
ilves, \ lamp upset, and the whole
mass Of oil instantly ignites, running
over everything, and setting fire to the
clothing Of women and children who
may be near. People cannot be too
careful in handling coal oil. Lamps
occasionally explode, when the oil is
permitted to burn low, and such acci-
dents frequently terminate in death.

BUILD HoUsEs.-Our town needs
now, more than anything else, an in
crease Of dwelling houses for the peo-
pie. Many are crowded, two or three
families into a house where there should
be but one, and rents are only limited
by the demand of the landlord. We
want small houses that our IN echanics
and laborers can purchase, and thus put
their earnings and savings into a per-
manent form. If the fluids invested in
oil speculations had been invested in
houses, they could all have been sold
at handsome profit, and the amount
re-invested in like manner with a SIM
liar result. We call upon our business
men to unite and build hOuses-for
each to build one, two or three, as they
can spare the means from their bust
ness.

ry of Mrs. Baker, who in company with
Miss Hassler and a young lad were dri-
wing in buggy, from Fort Littleton
to McCOnnellsburg. On the summit of
Scrub Ridge, the boy alighted from the
buggy, when the horse became fright
ened and ran away, dashing the vehicle
to pieces against the rocks on the side
of the road, both ladies being violently
thrown upon the ground, Miss HassIer
receiving injuries which caused her
death few days afterwards. Mrs. Ba-

| DON'T BRIGHTEN Your CHILDREN,
We know that it is habit with MANY
parents to frighten their children into
obedience, by threats of Imprisonment
in dark rooms, or by picturing some
great bugaboO that is ready to carry
them off. Little do those who resort
to this mode of reasoning (?) with in
nocent little ones, think of the fearful
consequences that may result from such
acts. \ few days since a bright little
lad in Evansville, Indiana, when play
ing on the steps, was threatened to be
shut up in dark room if he did not
60 in and stay in the house. The child,
frightened, ran in and fell in parox-
ysms on the floor. He begged his mo-
ther not to let the man Shut him up.
and he would never go on the steps
again. He sickened from this fright
and never recovered. When conscious
he begged his mother to keep the man
away and he never would so ON the
steps again. And when the little fel-
low was dying he said, Papa, don't
let me die, | never will go on the steps
again" We hope this instance may
serve as a warning to parents who read
the GAZETTE, TO be careful how they
attempt to frighten their little ones.

Reduction of Taxation.

1t is confidently predicted that one
Of the first acts of Congress, when il
reassembles, will be a general reduc-
ton Of taxation. The Investigations
of the Revenue Commissioners pro-
yided for at the last session of Con-
gress, have been of a character to
warrant a Recommendation for such
reductiOn-for the repeal of the
entire tax on manufactures and
raw material, as well as reduction of
the income tax mixing oitG Three Der
cent. on incomes over thousand dol
lars. IL is only necessary for the
present Congress to make such reduc-
ton to- complete it's great acts i'd favor
of the country's peace and prosperity.
But for other considerations, looking
to the welfare of the great consumers
and laboring classes of the country.
We trust that this contemplated reduc-
ton of taxation will be speedily and
literally made.
The law as amended at the last ses-
sion Of Congress, adding a large num-
Der of articles to the free list and
cutting down the rates in others, is
having its. effectin reducing the rev
enue, as appears by the monthly re-
port for October, but a sufficiently
large amount will be realized to pay
the current expenses OF, the Geyern-
meDt, and make 4 very material re-
duction of the National debt. The
experience of few months will fnr-
! nish sufficient facts upon which a
safe estimate can be made for the
further reduction of taxation coptem

In we'll considered article on the
United States Senatorship, the Indi-
annapolis Jounql says.
Another reason for the unanimity
OF feeling in his (GoYernor Morton's)
behalf is the bitterness with which he
has been assaulted by the Copperheads
of the State and nation. No man in
the Union has done more to defeat
their traltorOus schemes. Hi speeches
during the late campaign have bad a
circulation never before attained by
any political documents in this eoun-
try. His arraignment of the Demo-
cratic party became familiar as house
hold words throughout the West. and
its leaders strOye in vain to shield
themselves from the heavy blows
which he dealt their corrupt organi-
zatlon. La their madness they at
tempted to do away with the issues
before the country by the most infa-
nous assaults upon him. So far
as they could they made the cam
paign q personal matter, and at
tempted to strike down the Repub-
lican party in his person. Fooled
IN their purposes, it only lacks
the election Of Governor Morton to
the Senate to make their humiliation
complete.

Significant Omission.

In the Dnited States District Court
for Virginia, held at Norfolk last
week, it was noticed that the second
clause of the oath heretofore admins
tered, which requires the person taxi
ing said oath to swear he has not aid.
ed or assisted in the rebellion against
the United States, was omitted IAN
swearing in the Grand Jury. Inas-
much as this is the Court presided
over by Judge Underwood, in which
it is expected that JEFF. Davis, if ever
tried at :au will be inrraigned, this
omission is most significant, and shows
that if the trial ever occurs it will be
one of the broadcast farces ever perpe-
trated. jeff. Davis will, of course, be
acquitted by jury Of rebels and their
sympathizers. Doubtless the omis-
sion was ordered with this intent.
