A few days ago workman on the
Louisville and Cincinnati railroad
was sent to tighten the bolts on the
bridge which spans Bullock Pen
creek, in Kenton county Arriving
at the place he mounted the pridge
which by the way, is eight feet high
and soon performed the work in
trusted to him. Unlnckily, howev
er, while he was screwing down his
last bolt, he somhow or other got
his pantaloons also screwed down
tight and fast to the bridge, and to
make matters worse, just at this crit
ical moment let bis wrench fall.
Here was dilemma to be in. After
looking around in vain for some
one to relieve him from his unpleas-
ant position he slipped off his boots,
and after wriggling, twisting and
squirming for about ten minutes,
managed to get out of his panta-
looms. He then climbed down, re-
covered the wrench, returned to the
top of the structure, and got his pan
falcons loose. A woman, some dis
tance off, seeing the man divesting
himself of his clothing, thought he
was crazy and about to commit sui
eide, whereupon She ran off to
alarm some men who were at work
a few hundreds yards from her house
but before she got back the suppos
ed lunatic had donhed hts garments
and was quietly seated on the bridge.

Remarkable Double Tragedy at
Rochester.

A singular and lamentable tragedy
was performed in Rochester, New
York, on Friday evening of week be-
fore last. The particulars are as
follows: A beautiful and accom-
plished young lady. Miss Emma w
a stranger, temporarily lodg-
ing at the Osburn House, disguised
herself in male apparel and proceed
ed to No. 27 South St. Paul street,
where several of her friends, in
Guiding her uncle and mother, were
passing the evening, whom she at
first accosted in a friendly manner,
and conversed with pleasatly
enough, though rather excitedly, for
an hour or two. She is said to be a
person of singularlr romantic and
cratic disposition, and her freak of
donning mans attire therefore at
tracted little attention and created
no surprise. In the course of the
evening, however, she suddenly be-
came insane, and, drawing knife,
attacked and fatally stabbed an old
gentleman who endeavored to curb
her eccentricities, and then rushing
upon her uncle, whnse name was
King, killed him with a single blow
Of her weapon. Before the Mortified
spectators could summon presence
of mind enough to seize the infu-
rated lunatic, she swallowed some
poison, apparently strychnine, and
died in a few minutes.

1t may be said foreigners should
reside certain length of time in the
country in order to acquire our hab-
bits, and to educate them into an at
tachment to our institutions. The
fact of coming here to make this
their home is sufficient guarantee of
Republican attachment, while we all
know that a mere five year residence
asno W required accomplishes little in
the way of reforming their habits
ard customs
In every point of view it would
be better to allow foreigners to vote
as soon as they have gained the Or
dinary residence, and certainly the
Republican party would be the gain
er as the Democratic party can dis
tance all competitors in it's success
in manufacturing illegal fereign
votes. I. The present naturalization
laws are virtually ofno effect in pre-
venting frauds upon the franchise,
and far better would it be to take
down the legal bars and permit all
to come in as fast as they arrive and
locate themselves.-C Herald.

The WHEAT CRop OF 1S69.-We
took tour through several counties
of the Reserve, comprising the old
'twheat belt'' of Ohio, last week.
We were we'll pleased to see the
growing wheat look so we'll. 1t has
a good stand, is green and fresh,
and covers the ground finely, In
fact, much of it looks as green as a
meadow; the tops covering the
ground so as to protect the roots
during winter. When this is the
case, nine times out Of ten, wheat
makes a good crop; on the whole
the prospect is fattering.-Farmer's s

Private Residence Blown up
and Consumed by Fire-The In
mates Injured.
CLEVELAND, December GA ter
rible casualty occurred in this city,
last night, which has thrown a feel
ing of sorrow over the entire com
munity, The elegant residence of
L. M. Hubby, Esq, on Euclid street,
a mile outside the city limits, was
entirely destroyed. last night about
half past 8 o'clock, by gas explo-
sion and fire, land Mr.. Hubby so seri-
ously injured that his recovery is
considered doubtful. The house
being outside the limits Of the city,
is not supplied with gas from the
gas works, and Mr.. Hubby had in
troduced into 1T Pierce's patent
gasometer, which manufactures an
Illuminating gas from gasoline
This being heavier than air, settles
at the bottom of a room whenever
it escapes, instead Of rising. The
instrument was outside the house, and
the main pipe in the basement. The
gas being out of order, Mr.. Hubby
went into the basement with can
die, to see if he could discover a
leak, and Immediately on going below
a terrible explosion followed. Large
portions of the walls of the house
were blown out; the floors of the
rooms above were blown to pieces,
falling into the cellar, and the win
dows and doors were thrown to a
distance of fifty feet. tits supposed
that the supply pipe was leaky, and
that large amount ofgasoline had
accumulated, which took fire from
the candle. The rear Of the house
was not injured by the explosion,
but was destroyed by the fire, which
reduced the entire house to ashes
within an hour. The steamers
came out, but could do nothing.
Mr. Hubby was found, soon after
the explosion, lying about thirty
feet from the house, very badly
burned about the face, arms and
body, and quite unconscious. How
he got out of the cellar is unknown.
Mrs. Hubby was in the rear portion
of the house and was uninjured.
Mr.. Hubby's son. and sons wife,
and Miss Ella Hubby, a beautiful
and accomplished girl of twenty,
were in the front sitting room, to
gether, and were thrown to the
ceiling by the. explosion, falling
back into the basement.
Young Mr.. Hnbby. and his wife;
escaped with some b1ths and bruises,
which were rot dangerous. Miss
Ella, however, was terribly burned,
her clothing catching fire, and she
viii probably not live. Tie in
jured were removed to the houses
of friends near by. The house was
one of the most tasteful and elegant
in the city, and was valued at
$4,000. 1t was furnished only
last winter: It is now q total loss.
The last news from the patients is
that they are in a critical condition.
It is hoped, however, that Mr.. Hub
by will recover.-Cinn CONNER

"SEc. 3. Whereas, a malignant
disease among cattle, known as
fever, has been unduly disseminated
by the transit of Texan and other
southwestern cattle through Western
land Northwestern States during the
warm weather, thereby occasioning
great loss to our farmers, and pos
sibly endangering the health of onr
citizens therein; therefore,
"Resolced, That this Convention
earnestly rceomme4d the enactment
of stringent laws to prevent the
transit through those States of
Texas Or Cherokee cattle, from the
1st day of March to the 1st day OF
November, inclusive.
"Resolved, That the interests of
the community require the enact
ment of laws making any person
responsible for all damages that
may result from the diffusion of
any dangerous disease from animals
in his ownership or possession"
These propositions were taken up
separately and voted upon. They
were unanimously adopted in Or
der until the second article of the
second section was reached, and
much discussion ensued. After ma
ny entanglements as to parliamcn-
tary rules, the following amendment
was adopted: But an appeal shall
be allowed to majority of the
commissioners in all snch cases. :"
The subsequent articles were adopt
ed unanimously until the first res
olution of the third section was
reached, which was finally amended
under the previous question so as
to prohibit the introduction Of
Texas cattle from March l to No
vember l. The last resolution was
adopted, as were the recommends
tions as whole. The Governoraof
Illinois was requested to have these
recommendations printed and a copy
forwarded to the Governor of each
State represented.
The committee previously ap-
pointed to determine a name for
the cattle disease, reported in favor
of calling it The "Texas cattle dis
ease," which was adopted.
A resolution, explanatory of the
report of the Committee on Legisla-
ton, was adopted, viz: that South
western cattle, ascertained to have
been M,intered in any of the North
western States, shall be considered
as native cattle.
A resolution of thanks to the pre-
siding officer, to Governor Og.esby,
the Illinois Commissioners, and 70
the people of Springfield for their
kindness and hospitality, was unan-
imously adopted.
A committee of six was appointed
to memorialize Congress, on behalf
of the Convention, to appoint
to make a thorough in
yestigation of the causes, nature,
development, &C., Of the Texas cat
tie disease, and report to the coun-
try, viz-Dr. Clendenin, Of Ohio

of Michigan; Mr.. Gould, of New

and Dr.. Townsend, of Iowa.
DR.. Rauch. H. Demaury and

proceedings of the Convention, the
of which, it is understood,

Reconstruction in Mississippi.

l
/ A Republican State convention
having been called to meet in Jack
son, on the 28th of November, to
give an expression of sentiment
touching the present and prospect
i've political condition of the State,
Ia convention was held III Rankin
County, on-the s21st ult., to appoint
delegates The resolutions adopted
by this, convention are significant.
After briefly reciting the fact that
the Constitution had been rejected
by vote of the people, the con
vention declared itself in favor, of a
second constitutional convention,
and "the extension of suffrage to
every male citizen over the age of
twentyone years, without distinc-
ton Of race or color" The resolu
tions also invite all men, white or
black, to assent to this proposition
"We are in favor" say these Re-
publicans, "of cultivating kind re-
lations with our white friends; we
are against political excitement, and
want peace and quiet"
To these resolutions the Jackson
Clarion, the most influential Demo
cratic newspaper in the State, gives
hearty Endorsement. ''To the Re-
publicans of Rankin" says the
editor, "we extend our cordial
fluctuations upon the spirit which
Eervaded their meeting, and can
say, with confidence, that it will be
met with kindred feeling on the
part Of the entire Democracy of the
State, and will culminatc, if encour-
aged,in the establishment ofrelations
of mutual good will between the
Pwhite and colored people"
These resolutions, it will be per-
ceived, are in the direction of uni
! We ye.s..i 81 ;,ml,ccssttu cstu and universal suf-
frage. Political disabilities are to
be removed, aud all citizens, white
and black, made equal participants
in the Government under which
they are to live. This is precisely
what is wanted, and if granted there
will be mutual good will, and the
desired peace and quiet will inevi-
tably follow. The proposition that
a war or conflict Of races will follow
a just distribution of political pow
er is false and pernicious in it's in
fuence, tending, as it does, to pre-
serve those inequalities and distinc-
tions which are the source ofdomes
tic brawls and seditious move
ments. It is not possible to enlist
any considerable number of the
people in. conspiracies against the
general tranquility and constituted
authority where no cause exists for
the disturbance of the one or the
overthrow of the other.
Mississippi is now on the right
track, and if bad men do not in
trigue to check the movement now
auspiciously begun, by appealing to
the basest prejudices and passions
of mankind, it will not be long be-
fore Mississippi will be so recon-
structed that liberty will be as pre-
l'ailing rs the light Of the sun, and
al he" children walk in the radiance
thereof, secure in their persons and
property, un,ser equal laws, and an
impartial administration Of them by
agents in whose selection all will
have an equal voice. When that
day arrives, Mississippi viii have
commenced a new and better career,
full Of the promises of prosperity,
peace and happiness.-Cinm. Com
