FATAL AccIDENr.-The Press and
Herald says a terrible accident occurred
on Thursday last on the line of the Knox
Vile and Kentucky Railroad, short dis
lance this side of Jacksboro' which result
ed in the instant death of one man and
the probably fatal injury of another.
These two men were engaged with a
party of workmen blasting rock. They
had made one blast which proved ineffect-
ual and were proceeding to re-charge for
another blast, when premature explosion
took place resulting as above stated.
The name of the deceased is Dillon.
He was foreman on the road. We were
unable to learn the name of the other
party. His friends have but little hopes
of his recovery.

and every man knows that his neighbors are his
friends. We have no dissensions, no political
differences, and no religious animOsities among
us. We have two Churches, and preaching in
one OF them every Sabbath and all our people

along, as is SO frequently the case in these latter
times, our people all stay at home and try to do
n little more work on that day than any other
day in the week. They do this because they
are all DISTINGUISHED, and find ii more profitable
to build up anew their broken fortunes than to
quarrel and wrangle over political evils that
they cannot remedy. In a word, our people were

" \ young girl applied to us the
other day to write a composition for her. Out
of pure accommodation, we agreed to try, but
our production was rejected. Upon attempting
to decipher our hieroglyphics, she opened her
saucy eyes, and softly murmured, "La me
can do heap better than that myself" "Well
why didn't you say so at first ?" we Indignantly
replied and carefully smoothing away the wrin-
kles made in the paper by her careless little fin
gers we put away our unfortunate effusiOn for
publication in the FORERUNNER. Well bet she
can't get her composition printed. The subject
was Early Rising, and we did the best we could
on such miserable theme:
EARLY RISING.
God bless the man who first invented Sleep
But don't bless the one who started early rising.

but then it aint. 1t does we'll enough when u

Somebody who thought himself smart, once
| wrote:
Early to bed and early to rise,
| Makes man healthy, wealthy and wise,
and thousands have tried the prescription only
to die of WEAKNESS, u bad cold, or starvation be-
fore breakfast.
Every body knows that
Make woman get up when she's disposed to be
nappish,
| And she's sure to be most horribly snappish.
Early rising is thought by some disintereste(
parents to be very healthy for boys or girls whom
they wish to send for wood CT water; but wher
there are any servants around they do not con
slider it wholesome for their girls or boys either

enterprise is the general belief. A gem
tleman of the most unquestioned honor
recently said to me that one of the asso-
citation, who is very widely known, as
good as admitted that the thing,was a
fraud.
Business continues dull but all in all,
it is affirmed that trade prospects are i'm
proving. The dry goods line, in par
ticular, which has been so long depress-
ed, shows considerable animation. Not
only in this, but I'M other leading lines,
business men are disposed more and more
to look on the sunny side of things
this. especially in view of the near ap-
proach of spring. when so many closed
trade avenues must reopen. Wall street
is, of course, as heretofore, the busiest
spot on the island. There is consider
able activity in the miscellaneous share
list. especially in railroads, which are
quite firm, with upward tendencies.
The recent report of the Central Park
Commissioners for 1867 shows great
figures for the peoples pet institution.
During the year, 2.99S,770 pedestrians
and s4,994 equestrians visited the Park.
while of vehicles there were 1,3S1,697.
The skatists still have ice. Thus far
in the season there have been upward of
so skating days at the Park while last
winter only furnished 4S.
The theatres are very prosperous.
There is, however, but little theatrical
news of special importance.
