MARROW EsCAPE.-Last evening an old
settler, as he was leaving our Office where
he had called on business, fell headIoug
from top to bottom Of the front stairs in
Bufords block, throwing his watch chrystal
out upon the brick pavement but not break.
ing it, lie received no bodily injury what.
ever, and was in our office this morning, as
well as eyer-hayiug slight soreness of his
joints. He is a very heavy man, and the es.
cape from serious if not fatal injuries is re-
markabe. II is well known that intoxicated
men often meet with dangerous falls without
iniury-simply because drunken man falls
unresistingly. But this gentleman is q noted
temperance man, and how he could perform
the feat without injury is mysterious. Sew.
eral people, who heard the noise Of the fall,
rushed to the scene aud as they witnessed
him on all fours, at the foot Of the stairs, at
first thought he was on spree on account
Of the dissolution of the Good Tcmplars'
lodge the entrance to their room being up
the same stairs. But in thisthey were Who'll.
ly mistaken, and if the gentleman ever stands
in need Of evidence of the fact he can have
our testimony that he was perfectly sober at
the time. And this he may, sometime,ueed,
as he is county official, and it is well.
known that the radicals permit no man to
hold a county Office if he drinks even lager

WENDELL PHILLIPS launched his annual
thunderbolt at Music Hall, Boston. Tuesday
: night 1t was Of several Jupiter power, if we
may believe the reporter who says that 'syears
nave passed since Mr.. Phillips has spoken
with such tremendous and vehement power.
The stream from MS lips, as in former DAYS
like river of fiery lava, withered and burned
at all that withstood its progress; and once
more his oratory was all afame with the fear
1ul and sometimes appalling glow of the old
eloquenee." He made known his wishes TO
congress IN rather vituperative style, spoke
OF Grant as an imbecile, of our ancestors who
framed the Constitution as stupid men who
ald imperfect work, of Hamilton as a man
who cared only for the financial success of
his country, of Chase as a base man"
worse than Taney"-of Horace Greeley as a
vane, telling the world what corrupt wind is
DloWing, and SO on. II is Mr. Phillips grave
ly announced opinion that no great internal
qualre! was ever settled by one war, and that
our war is not over,-in fact that it is only
begun.
