SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT HENDERSON.
"A family, consisting of mother and
two daughters, recently moved to
Henderson, and rented room in the
old Posey building. Back of the
room was an old ice house, with a
floor over the part used to store ice
in, which the woman obtained per-
mission to use as a kitchen A day
or two ago, the family were preparing
to do washing After they had kin
died fire, and got water boiling, the
floor gave way, precipitating the three
women, the stove, hot water, and
washing-tubs, into the ice house, a
distance of IA feet. All three of the
women were considerably bruised by
the fall, and more or less injured, the
youngest severely. A negro had just
arrived at the door with barrel Of
water, and seeing the condition of af-
fairs turned his hose into the ice
house, extinguished the fire, and re-
lieved the mother and daughters.
SoRGo CULTURE AND MACHINERY
We have been interested in the ex-
animation Of available pamphlet, in
titled the Sorgo Hand Book. 1t gives
in succinct form a review of the ex-
perience of the past year in the cult
walton of the cane and the various
processes of the manufacture of syrup,
sugar, vinegar, &C., with full de-
scription of the improvements made
in sorgo machinery. The pamphlet
is issued from the office of Blymer,
Bates & Day, of Mansfield, Ohio, the
manufacturers of Cooks celebrated
Sugar Evaporation, and contains a
complete list of implements and ma
chinery manufactured by the Clark
Sorgo Machine Company of Cincin-
natl, which stands in the front rank
of the enterprising manufacturers of
the country. The list of articles in
addition of the celebrated Cane Mill
and Evaporation, includes the cook
pan, drainer, corn-crushers, bells,
saw machinery, &c.
In this region, where the cultiva-
ton of sorgum is so rapidly growing
in Importance, this pamphlet should
have a wide circulation. 1t can be
had by addressing either of the firms
referred to.

Watarmelons and muskmelons

Ladies of Delicate Constitution

And uncertain health are strenuously adj
vised TO throw aside the nauseous and
useless preparations with which they are
accustomed to drug themselves, and test
the hygeian, body-and- mind-strengthen-
ing virtues of HosTETTER's STOMACH BIT
TIERS. In all the complaints and disabii-
ties arising from various causes, they will
find this cheering, refreshing, and invigor-
ating preparation of extraordinary effica-
cy. Its regulating properties are wonder
Sul, and as O remedy for the langour, nau-
sea, tremors, commissions, hysteria, &c,
which often accompany the development
of womanhood, it has no equal among the
prescriptions of the faculty or advertised
medicines. For the many distressing feel
ings which usher in and often follow the
period of maternity, and also for the pain
full and dangerous symptoms which some
times accompany "change of life" Hos
LETTERS BITTERs are earnestly recon-
mended. No other restorative seems to
suit so well the constitutions and the
organization of the feebler sex IN all
cases of Female Debility, where there is a
want of brisk vital action, the BITTERs
produce most important change-reliev-
ing local weakness, and re-establishing the
general health.

Editors Journal:
Allow zee to say to those interested,
that the law equalizing Bounties has
passed both Houses of Congress and
been signed by the President 1t has
been modified by the Senate, and is
not just what the friends of the
measure had a right to expect. But
it is much better than to have had
nothing The main features Of the
law seem to be about these:
LIST. Any soldier who has served
three years and been honorably dis
charged, who has drawn only one
hundred dollars from the Govern
ment, can draw one hundred dollars
more; or, if he enlisted for three
years and was discharged sooner, on
account of wounds received in battle,
he will be entitled to one hundred
dollars more bounty.
I'd. The wives, children, or parents
of such soldiers who have died in the
service, will be entitled to the same
bounty as the soldier would have
been if he had lived.
This law also applies to sailors and
marines.
1t is worthy of note, that each man
will have to make an oath of identity,
and swear that he has neither sold
nor assigned his Discharge, &C., under
the pains and penalties of perjury.
| will give more full instructions as
soon as | receive the law from Wash
ington City. Respectfully, &C.,

-Four of the wenches were arrest
ed and lodged in jail.-Couieg.
1t is somewhat strange that four
negro wenches " should have been
arrested and neither the jailor or any
of the officers aware of the fact. No
women, white or black, were lodged
in Jail on Wednesday evening, as we
are informed by those most likely to
know. Perhaps this refers to New
Orleans, like the story of ladies
drinking Intoxicating beverages.

MORE FAST RACEs.-Our "phunny
phriends " at New Albany are again
INDUCING in another series of ''phast"
races. The first race was nearly equal
to the time made by Charley Cotton
and oursef with that slow animile ;"
in this city-time, 3:42, 3:37. The
second was a decided improvement,
and although the arrangement was 3
best out of five, there seems to have
been8 heats-time, 2:42 to 2:48; after
which there was pacing race-time,
2:46. How it makes our head swim
to read of such speed achieved by one

RECORDERS COURT. = The usual
drawing room levee of His Honor,
the Recorder, was very SHINY attend
ed yesterday. A gentleman from the
country left his team standing under
some shade trees. The horses took a
taste of the bark of the trees, for
which the owner was required to pay
a fine of 81, and $3.50 costs. People
should remember that it is violation
of the city ordinances to hitch horses
to shade trees, or in such a manner
as will enable them to reach, gnaw
and injure any shade tree. If they
will be careless in this respect, they
must expect to pay for it. This was
the only case that occupied His Hon
Or's attention yesterday.
In this connection we desire to say
that the John Young, fined and cost
ed on Wednesday for being drunk,
was not cur quiet. orderly, sedate and
industrious friend, John B. Young,
who stops with Capt. Humphrey, on
Water Street. That John Young is
not that sort of man.

for debt against Joe. Stewart, for
wharfage, claimed by the former in
consideration of the beat of the latter
having lain for time at the beach the
property of Keller, just below the city
wharf.
The amount claimed was SO so. Aft
ter hearing the testimony, His Honor
decided that no private individuals
could collect wharfage. Judgment
for the defendent with costs.
A sale of household goods occupied
the attention of Justice Stinson most

EVANSVILLE DRY DoCK.-We paid
a visit to the Evansville Dry Dock, a

large corps of mechanics, ship
carpenters, caulkers, &C., busily at
work, The Dry Dock, thus far, has
proved a decided success, having been
constantly occupied since its compile
ton. Hitherto they have been ex-
hausting the water with one pump,
but are now engaged in rigging up the
second one, when they will be able to
exhaust the water in half the time
now required. We hope the same
prosperity will continue until it will
justify building larger dock-one
capable of receiving the largest boats
afoat. We hope, also, soon to see
good sized steamer building here.
Mr.. Lavender, the Superintendent of
the dock, has large experience in
boat building, and there are no better
shipwrights than those of Evansville.
There are now twenty hands employed
on the dock.

A QUAKER WoMAN's SERMoN.-My
dear friends, there are three things that L
very much wonder at. The first is that
children should be so foolish as to throw
up stones, clubs and brickbats into fruit
trees to knock down fruit. If they would
let it alone it would tall itself. The Sec
ond is that men should be 30 foolish as to
90 to war and kill each other If let
alone they would die themselves. The
third and last thing I. wonder at is that
young men should be so unwise as to 60
after young women. IF they would stop
at home the young women would come
after them.

And here, by the way,

But Patrick O'Shea

Too clever fool to be caught;
Quoth Logic: "Hello!

And Paddy responded: "Do what 2"
"Why, how do you find
Yourself, body and mind
Is what / would ask you, you go0se?"
"Och sure as to that,

"Myself I'm too sharp for to lo'e."

You know what l mean,
So, how are you feeling to-day"
"Why, Misthur Logic,

Just feel me" quoth Paddy o'shea.
