A VISIBLE LEGAL PoINT.-A rural lawyer, whom
we shall name Squire Jeval, once had an important
case ina country court and the decision depended en-.
tirely on the way the jury would regard the testimony
of one lady He lost the case because the fair wit
ness swore positively to which she had
witnessed at the distance of several rods, although
there were several persona who stood much nearer
than her that saw nothing whatever of it. The old
Squire looked rather blue when the jury brought in
their verdict but revenged himself by rising and tell
ing the court story of lady he once knew, who was
very sighted but always declared her eyesght to
he excellent. Accordingly one day neghbor stuck
darnng needle in the side of burn, and placus her
the opposite side of the road asked her il she could
see it 'Oh yes" replied the lady, al can see the
needle easy but whar's the barn?"

lHE SCARCITY OF MoNEY.-Ihere IS and must be q
general scci'v of currency throughout the country,
because that article is far superabundant This
statement is doubtless paradox the unrpfecting
nevertheless nothing is certain. The history of
this country for the last fifty years shows chat money
has always been most scarce and of interest most
advanced, when there the largest absolute amount
in circulation. The for fhis is obvious. As
currency is expanded speculation is excited, prices
greatly raised, and it takes much larger amount
OF money to transfer equal amount of merchan-
dise while the operations of those who engaged
in influencing and controlling the immense amount of
transferable property of all kinds held for speculative
purposes absorb all the surplus and leave the money
market in stringent condition.
Money, we must recullect, is scarce not in propor-
lion to its actual quantity but the relative demand
for it. When, therefore, in addition to the natural
wants of trade the speculative interest comes into mar
ket the extraordinary demand is certain to create
pressnre 30 that, practically, has always been true
as it is now true, that an expanded currency will be
most scarce when it is most abundant that collections
will be most unsatisfactory when the circulation is
largest; and that the rates of interest will be highest
when the loans OF the banks most extended.
This important lesson the people mtst learn and If
they would have money plenty and cheap they must
insist that the shall be reduced to the natural
mit-to that point where it is at par with specie
They cannot have easy and reliable money market
ntil that which is called money is truly so aid we
incur no risk in predicting that satisfactory of
trade will not arrive until the currency Of the nation is
equivalent in value to the currency OF commerce
In looking forward for the remainder of the current
We II, we do not anticipate general panic breaking
down OF the national industry because the currency is
now fixed quantity, and cannot be (s in the case of
mixed currency it must br) sud'ieh wi. n from
circulation whenever there is pressure on the banks
tor the redemption of teir notes but we do expect
that trade, manufacturing and business generally will
pe depressed, that profits will be small expenses large
rents and rates OF interest high aud losses from den
qlpnt debtors heavy while in the large centres of
rade, especially in the largest the spasms" of the
money market will ne frequent and violent.

A CURE FOE PARALYss.-We lately met q gentle.
man who, although he walked with apparent ease said
he mad been almost hopeless paraytic but had been
substantially cured by the use of an air.pump The
theory Of the cure and the application of the nstru
ment were as follows Paralysis is produced By the
failure of some Of the organs of life to perform their
functions; they need recuperating. He applied cup
or receiver to the surface OF the part affected and by
of the pump he removed the pressure of the ex
terna atmosphere. There was then rush of air in
ternay, as much the clogged condition of the sys.
ten would admit, towards the vacuum produced by
the pump. The blood was carried along by the air,
md by mechanical force made to circulate in the
affected limb which thps recovered its vigor and ae-
sivity. Worcester Palladium.

HARRISBURG. August ia.

HARRISBURG, August IT,
A terrible accident happened this
morning at 6 o'clock on the ScbuS hi
snd Susquehanna Railroad. The Bunaio
express Of the Nertherd Central Railroad
left here at 3:l5, and wren at Danpnlu
Narrows struck rock feet in diar'eteI
and 1000 pounds in weight, which NAG
rolled down the mountain. Inc roch
drayped the train 80 feet, when the en-
CINE left the track and shot over seohs
wall Is feet high into country ioa',
and thence through another stone wall
into the canal. "1he engine ana tenuer
and three EXPRESS cars, loaded prihci'
nally with peaches, were SMASHED "
atoms. One passenger car, well hlied
with passengers, was jammed into the
wreck, but no passengers were Killed,
although some were slightly injured
and bruised. Only two persons were
+killed-Charles w. Stewart, of Balti-
more. engineer, and Jacob Crisswell, OF
Reading, fireman, who was terribly mu-
t,lated and blackened. The baggage
master, whose car went into the canal,
was only slightly bruised, and went on
with a new train. The engineer died an
Lour after the accident, after suffering
excruciatipg pain. The fireman was
killed instantly. The corener's jury
rendered a verdict attaching no blame
to the Northern Railroad Company or
the employees, they having paid the
right of way over the road, but ceHsur-
ing severely the Susquehanna and
Schuylkill Company for not having
watchmen at that point, which has
long been considered one of the most
dangerous on the road, owing to the
oyerhanging rocks. The damage to'the
express company is large.
