THE AMERICAN CENr.-The first
copper cent was produced in 1892 by
Robert Morris, the great Guancier of the
Revolution, and was named by Jefler-
son, two years later. 1t began to make
its appearance from the mint in 1872.
1t then bore the head Of Washington on
one side and a chain Of thirteen links on
the other. The French Revolution soon
after created q rage for French ideas in
America, which put on the cent, instead
OF the head Of Washington, the head Of
the Goddess OF Liberty, with neck thrust
forward and flowing locks. The chain
On the reverse was replaced by the olive
wreath Of peace. But the French lib
crtv was short lived, and SO was our por-
trait in our cent. In its stead staid,
classic dame, with finely chiselled Gre
clan features, and tillet round the hair,
came into fashion forty Or City years ago,
and continued until about ten years since,
when the much smaller and more con-
venient nickle cent appeared, with 4 hy-
| iay eagle in the place Of hibcrty's head,
in order that it might not DC mistaken
for the five dollar gold piece. In the
present new cent the Liberty head has
! been restored.

vestry some time ago selected this and
the adjoining lot No. 1Ot as together
forming the most eligible site for the

decision made known to Mr.. Ridgway
than he with his characteristic liberali-

gift OF the lot for that purpose. This

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-Last Friday
morning an accident occurred at the sta

& L. r, r., which might have had rath
or serious consequences. Two freight
trains were due here near abolt the
time Of the accident. The first one
came in, and we believe was held for or
ders, the engine being at the water tank,
taking in water, when the other train
came up, some say at the ra OF twenty
ty-fve miles an hour, and the advancing
