The CONSEQUENCES "-Accidcnts will

regulated our families or affairs, and the
consequences at times are dreadful, clear.
ly showing that we cannot be too par
!icular. The fact is we should sleep with
onc eye open, and be as keen as female
weasel" 1t is said that this 'animile'
cannot be caught asleep, but we can't
vouch for this, never having made an
effort to catch one, more's the pity. We
regret that the accident in tlis case was
the fault of our good friends Messrs.
Abrams, Ilargrove & Griffin, and their
factotum and indispensable Mr.. Med.
Metts. These gentlemen have large ex-
perience in their line, Boots and Shoes
together with a larger stock, and their
establishment is admirably regulated,
but they committed an oversight never
thelcss, in not mentioning in their attrac-
tive advertisement last week that they
had an elegant assortment Of Hats.
The consequence was, that a great
number of people who came to town last
week, and counted on procuring both
Shoes and Hats, had unfortunately to re-
turn to their homes with the same old
titles" This is much to be regretted
as these unfortunates will be forced TO
return again at another time. The run
on the Boots and Shoes has been start
ling, and yet not wonderful, for they
were bought with experience there is
nothing "shoddy'' or "clap-trap' in their
stock and people like to buy from them.
The same will be the case with their
Hats, now that they have announced
them lcgitimately. Their apology to US
for not advertising them before, is salts

some impatience the first acts Generals
Hancock and Canhy in their Military
Districts. In accordance with army regu
lations, the orders issued by Generals
Sheridan and Sickles remain in iuli force,
and the new commanders are reminded
of this By General Grant as he assigns
them to their posts. How long these
commanders can retain their positions
depends upon their adroitness in balan-
cling themselves between two clashing
principles which Congress has stupidity
allowed to come in contact in the South.
the district Commanders are forced to
obey the laws enacted by Congress.
These cannot be changed by q general
Of the republic. If he attempts it he is
lost. lie may administer the laws with
a mildness which may enable him to
maintain his position still they control

other changes, npsetting ard instating,
with the hop. that he may find these
who are willing to override the Con-
gressional enactments, he will only dis,

direction, but nearer home. The battle
has got to be fought out at Washington,
and must now rapidly narrow down to
that point where the two great powers
will strike at each other. Whichever
wins, the result is an overthrow Of the

DoGs.-Fearfully on the increase must
be this race of quadrupeds. The law al.
lows one to man or family, that's, that
one is considered sufficient and perhaps
necessary, and that one is exempt from
taxation. But Judging from the noises
which make night hideous, We set the
estimate as at least six to man, with
two or three thrown in for the children.
Now if these dogs were as Webster calls
them domestic animals" ami behaved
themselves as such. it would not matter
how many man kept, but they don't,

happy dog-loving community. This To-

CoSFERENcE.-The 18th quarterly con
ference for this station, NJ F. Church
closed its exercises on Sunday. The
session was ola highly interesting charac

bath services, large and attentive. The
Presiding Elder, Rev. W. II. Fleming
promises to be with his people again be-
fore the Annual Conference, and will
therefore preach, God willing, in Novem

The WEATHER, &c.--We are now hav.
ing cool, bracing weather, which has
continued for several days. We have
not heard Of frost, but must conclude
that in low lands, and margins near
water, there has been some.
Cold weather and frost are now anx.
iously looked for, when fevers, and the
many ills we have for so long time ex.
nIerienced, may be driven off or abatcd
by porer atmosphere.
The work of cotton picking is going
on steadily, but slowly in some places
for want Of laborers. The weather is
fine for picking. But little cotton is
offering for sale, prices too low.

are increased in quantity and changed in quality;
they are now thick and heavy, and are hawked or
coughed of. The secretions are offensive, causing
a bad breath the voice thick and nasal; the
eyes are weak !; the sense of smell IL lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place.

This new discovery is calculated to take the
place Of all other illuminating oils or fluids in
use at the present day. The brilliancy of the
light IT produces; its perfect safety as a non-ex-
plosive; its freedom from any dlsagreeable odor
and its cheapness--being nearly TWO HUNDRED
PER GENT. LESS than the present price of Kero
sene 0iI--cannot fail to commend 1t to the favor
able patronage of every householder. 1t needs
no trimming of wicks for months, and lasts long
er than Kerosene Oil, and burns in all Kerosene
Lamps.
This oil can be obtained as easily as kerosene
and the supply of materials Is lnexhaustible.-
When once you have the recipe barrel can be
made in two minutes. 1t can be made by the
single barrel for less than twenty-five cents per
gallon, and in large quantities for twenty cents
per gallon. Every merchant having this oil can
