The ready alacrity with which our citizens,
entirely disconnected froa the public schools,
save in community of interest, have given
their time to preparation for a concert and
festival for the purpose Of raising funds for
N school organ, speaks loudly for their pub
lie spirit and warm interest in the cause OF
education. The eminent success of their
undertakings must be very gratifying to
them, as it certainly is to the public at large.
The result Of the concert and festival is u
sufficient sum to purchase tue organ-SlS0.
The organ now occupies its position in the
grammar room of the school building, and
is decidedly good instrument.

Free dinners are an institlton Of the

ton provide provisions for all who would
assemble, but such thing is now out Of this
question. We are glad it has been decid

give up the attempt. II is altogether toe
great task upon few citizens, who gener'
ally receive any amount Of curses for theil
pains. Besides, genuine picnic dinner

lancous rush at long spread tables where thu

An UNPLEASANT CONFESSIONAL most
curious occurrence happened in the Prusslan
Province of Posen. Some days poor woman
fell sick, and as she felt she was near her
end she sent for priest. She subsequently
confessed to him that she, about 80 years
ago. having been delivered of boy, subsu-
tuted her own child for the child of Count
ess in whose employ she was. Neither the
nnrsa nor the Countess became aware of the
exchange, ond thus it remained until to day
Her own boy was educated as Count, and
has married the daughter of very proud
nobenan, while the real Count having grown
up in poverty, went out to service, married,
and is now living not far from his prnceiy
estate of Komormk, with his own children,
The woman said she could not die without
confessing this sin. The priest applied at
once to the authorities and al Investigation
has been commenced.

A Terrible MINING ACCIDENT LAST
evening about s o'clock, John Russell,
workman in the Hale & Norcross mine, was
instantly killed - his head was completely
torn from his body. 1t appears that a cave
occurred at the shaft outside Of the timbers,
and where number of men were at Work.
A IL got out of the way of the falling masses
of rocks and earth as best they couid-se'-
eral seeking safety in the different compart.
ments of the shaft. AT this time some OF
the men in the pump compartment say that
thov hoard Russell call out, " I'm all right.
Inst at the moment of the cave Cage was
nassinp up and the first that was known OF
Russell's death was at the station lOo feet
above. where a man was frightened terribly
at seeing man coming up, standing on the
ton or cross-bar of the cage, with his arms
clasned tightly about the cable and his
head cut off even with his shoulders. Being
a man of nerve he almost instantly recovered
his presence Of mind and sigma ed at once
for the cage to stop. When his arms were
unclasped from their death grip and he was
taken from the cage, his head was louhd 10
he completely cut off, nothing of it remain
ine but portion Of the skin on one side with
one ear and some hair sticking to 1t. AT IL
o'clock last night the head had not yet been
found. and it probably never will be, as 1t Is
sunposed that it fell into the stump or we'll, al
the bottom of the shaft, in which case it must
be covered by rock to a great DEPTH as
great quantity fell into the shaft from the
cave. There was another man on the cage
besides Russell, but he cannot tell how the
latter came to be decapitated. He stood on
the lower part or platform Of the cage and
saws that as he was going up he felt the oiood
of 'Russell falling upon him, but thought 1t
was water, not knowing that anybody was
hurt. or that there was man on the cage
above him. Nobody appears TO know exact
" how the terrible accident happened, but 1t
is supposed that the head of the unfortunate
man was caught by some Of the timbers yet
how that could be, when he was standing on
the top of the cage, with nothing about him
that could hold fast his head from below, we
cannot see. Others think that his head was
severed from the body by the slack Of the
cable but had the cable been slack when he
got on the cage the slack would have been at
his feet. The deceased was about % years
of age. and has wife living in Nova Scotia

GRANT AND THE TEMPERANCE CUES
TON.

Among the features Of the present
canvass is the apparent anxiety OF the
Democracy to fasten upon Grant rep
ution for intemperance. Such an at
tack is not exactly the strongest hand
for the Copperheads to PLAYS rather
lame assault, in fact, considering all
the circumstances. Let US look back
little. That Grant drank to excess
when he was a Lieutenant in the army,
nobody who knows anything about his
early history will deny. He drank a
grea, deal to much and finally found
himself with very bad habit fastened
upon him-found that either he or John
Barleycorn must succumb so, with
one strong, determined effort of his in
flexible will, he became teetotlar ana
is one to this day. This is evident to
anybody who has had any experience
with Grants character aud with men
whe have been hard drinkers and who
have abandoned their cups. For II
Grant bad suffered himself to fall away
from the resolves that have saved him,
we should need 10 Democratic rumors
to apprise US Of his disaster. There
would be no lack of evidence Of the
fact if be had fallen. The implacable
Puritans of the Republican party would
not fail to magnify his faults if they
caught him battling. They never, as
old Wings, forgeve Clay for fighting
duel with JOHN Randolph, and, at the
same time ne7er stopped to inquire into
the record ofPolk, his opponent. how
ever, Grant is a strict abstainer from
intoxicating drinks, we may be very
sure there wouli be no Disgusting it
if be did tipple. But the accusation OF
drunkenness comes from a strange quar-
ter. We believe that our national his
tory presents but Two drunken Presi-
dents. One of these wa. Poor Pierce
IA most decided DcmoCrat-and the
other is Andrew Johnson, whom the
Democrats are welcome TO, if they want
him. 1t is a truism to say that drunk
euness is Democratic vice. We can
not imagine what Salisbury would be
if he were sober but we are not alone
in the opinion that poor McDougall, If
he had led sober life while in the Sen
ate, would not have soi,ed his loyalty
by the votes and associations that dis
graced his record Being the slave OF
his appetite for rum, he fell into the
depravi,ies OF a drankard, and veered
off into Copperheadism, as matter OF
course. And Grant, if he were the
topper that the Copperhead press would
make him appear, not only would no,
be the General in Chief of the United
States Army, nor the nominee of the
National Union Republican party for
President, but would De more likely 10
be noted for patronizing the cheap gro
ceries of Galena, cursing the war
which denied him honors, aud acknowl-
edring the misfortunes Of his life 10 be
the lust reward of his own bad habits
by bawling himself hoarse in damning
the niger and swearing by and voting
for, the Democratic ticket. If Grant
is given to getting drunk the Copper
heads are not particularly wise in tell
ing of it, for unless he does experience
downfall, the Democracy have little
to expect at his hands-and they may
as well make up their minds that be
will be the next President.

Parental Inconsistency,

1t is surprising and painful to witness
with how little judgment parents some
times reply to their children 8 questions
and desires. Could they realize with
what keen observation the little ones
mark their language, they could not fail
to study a more careful consistency.
A bright, aelive boy, who in after life
came Il clergyman, was very urgent.
while frequently teasing his mother for
coat lkehis brother's-who was sever
al years older -with"pockets behind.n
to believe that thereby his
manline,s would be Aery greatly in
creased.
TO this often and urgent importantly
for it, his mother generally replied,
ou are little boy; they don't wear
such coats; it would not be proper:
when you get to be n man then you
will wear them with pockets behind.n
About this time it became necessary
to visit mineral spring on his behalf
that he might drink Of and bathe in its
waters The baths were more formidable
than he had ever entered at home, and
he manifested considerable fear, flinch-
ing with dread. His mother said, "R-.
you are a man; you should not be afraid.
The retort was instaneous: "Whela I
ask for pockets behind you say ! am :
little boy; now you say am q man.
The mother received . lesson that was
not forgotten.

In danger. Nothing would plcisse tlren
with danger, but utterly broken to
pieces and destroyed. But there is great
danger and great cause Of alarm for all
the rebels and all their allies. And the
danger lies In the fact that loyal Con-
gress mean to re-establish the constitu-
ton In all its original vigor and purity.
They are determined to purge it from
all the false glosses Of slaveholding aud
rehellious interpreters and commenta-
tors they mean to restore the origional
text with not single word or letter of
freedom or justice blurred or defaced !;
they mean to breathe into 1t a new in
spiration and power, and make il a
flaming sword turning every way to
keep and guard equal laws and human
rights. This is the danger that looms
up before the Copperhead vision in such
portentous form. IT took any shape
but that his firm nerves might never
tremble but this, TO him, is full Of hor-
rors unspeakable. There is imminent
danger that the constitution and law Of
liberty shall for the first time In our his
tory be made to prevail in the South
If Congress holds fast to the faith, as we
believe it will, if it Is determined and
bold, to take every particle of power
from disloyal and lodge it in loyal
hands If 1t utterly destroys every hope
that the rebels have that they can elect
themselves to Congress and then pay
themselves for their slaves, for their
losses and sutierings by the war, for
their utter defeat and humiliation, there
will be a voice heard through the land
Of weeping and loud lament. There
will be believing as of the bulls of Bash
an, roaring and bowling IA of all the
animals together but 1t will oil pass
away with great noise, aud silence,
with peace and freedom, reign at last.--
