ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT Some three
weeks since child of Mr.. A. G. Russell, of
this place, aged about fourteen months,
swallowed a shawl pin, in length between
two and three inches The effect was to
produce much pain and suffering The pin,
Notwithstanding its length, worked through
the passages of the intestines and was eyac-
uated from the bowels But the irritation
from itspassage produced inflammation, which
cauied death on Sunday morning last This
was very singular case. That pin of the
length stated should work its passage through
the intestines, convoluted as they are, and
that the child should live so long under the
circumstances. ces.-DaHriUeL Latelligeacer.

This paper is favorably known by the De-
mocracy Of Pennsylvania as well as through
the other States in this Union Its Democ-
racy never was questioned, even by the most
suspicious, and in every campaign it took an
active and prominent part A more straight
forward course was not pursued by any paper
during the past five years, We have read
its editorials with great deal of interest and
care, and can safely recommend the paper
to all our friends as an able exponent of true
Democratic principles as laid down by Thorn
as Jefferson and other good old patriots of his
day. During the whole four years of war,
this paper maintained consistent opposi-
ton to that unnatural strife, which position
the true Democrats heartily endorsed. The
Democratic party never can gain anything
for themselves as party or for the good of
the country by acknowledging the war just
This paper never admitted any part of the
war to be right, but was opposed to it in
every conceivable shape, and treated it as
entirely wrong.
Now is the time to get up clubs for the
year 1867 This paper will commence, the
next volume, January 5th, with new and
original romance, from the gifted and tai
ented author, Prof. WILLIAM FL. PECK, of
Louisiana. This story will be written ex-
pressly for the Day Book, and entitled
"The Confederate Flag on the Ocean. "
1t will be historical, with very little romance,
but good deal of reality, much of it from
the lips of the very actors in the scenes

B6r John Mcdonald prosecuted one of
the Election Board of Centralia for rejecting
his vote at the late election, on the ground
that he (McDonald) had not complied with
certain provisions of the Conscription Act.
Now, the truth is, this Act of Congress has
been pronounced unconstitutional time and
again, by every Judge who has possessed
the independence to venture an opinion upon
it or at least that portion of the Act which
makes man, who does not respond when
drafted, deserter, and at the same time dis
franchises him. The Supreme Court of this
State decided this law unconstitutional, some
time ago; besides, several eminent jurists in
this and other States have so decided, whose
decisions have never been reversed. Yet
the Republican of this place would have its
readers infer that this Election Board did
right, and was carrying out the letter and
spirit of what everybody considered law
Had this Election Board regarded "the
manifestoes of the District Attorneys" a
little closer, they would be less likely to get
into trouble. The case will be disposed of at
our February Term.

RSp GEORGE S. TUTTON, Esq, died at
his residence in Tunkhannock, on Sunday,
the 9th inst The Democrat, of that place,
says:
The deceased was 48 years of age; and
up to a recent date, apparently in the enjoy
ment of good health. In August last, while
on journey to the west, he contracted a
severe cold which became seated on the left
lung. A dry, hacking cough gave some
slight premonitions of disease but up to
within week of the time of death, no Sc
rious inconvenience or alarm was felt by him
self or friends. Having again caught cold,
the disease was aggravated, and after a short
but painful illness, death ensued
The loss to his wife and family, and to so
ciety, in the various social and business re-
lations which he occupied, is irreparable.
Having been so lately among US. where he
so kindly faithfully performed all his duties,
1t is difficult to realize that he has passed
that bourne, whence no traveller returns.
Of his personal character and worth it is
enough to say, that those who knew him
most intimately, loved and admired most
ardently and will cherish his memory most
affectionately.
His remains were deposited, to-day in the
village Cemetery, with the usual solemn GER
emonies of the Masonic Fraternity, of which
he was an honored member.
The occasion was made, if possible, more
solemn, by the presence and music of the
Brass Band at this place, of which be was
the originator, and up to this time, It's very
efficient leader
The members of the Wyoming County
Bar, with which he had been connected for
twenty years attended with the usual badge
of mourning.
He was Member of the Legislature from
this District, with Colonel Levi l.. Tate, in
1862, and served his constituents in that
body with distinction.

where box of Concentrated Lye was kept,
and before it was noticed, had swallowed a

piled what remedies he could to alleviate
the little sufferer and to counteract the effect
of the poison, but it was Of no avail, it died
