in the night the two forms were taken
from the church, and before tnls the
little ones have learned their grieYous
loss. Immediately opposite the school.
at Mr.. Tanners, lay the bodies OF Miss
Emma Beers and Mrs. Cathsrine Spairi.
The former, Miss Of thirteen, the
adopted daughter Of Charles @. Beers,
was taken 10 the festival by q servant,
who was quite badly wounded also
Miss Beers lay stark aud rigid, her face
black and ridyed with scars, as though
lsshed by pililess thongs. Mr.. Beers
was from town, and no one seemed to
have sent for the mother of the unfOrtu
nate child. In room adjoining lay the
last of the Victims Mrs. Spairl, whose
husband, curious to say, was barely saved
from similar accident by the falling OF
3 boildlng In town. The gray hair o.
the woman fell in thin bloody eiots about
her forehead and peaosfgiiy closed eyes,
with fearful calmness aud pathos, try
Ing for the strongest to see without tears
So much for tn dead; they are be-
yond even our sympathy. Bot there are
still remaining the uafortunates who
were happy enough, or unhappy peE-
haps, to escape with the broken limbs
aud fearful contusious. All the aid that
medical experience could offer was
promptly and efficiently rendered by
physicians, who In immense numbers
were on the spot with wonderful a!acrl-
ty. DlsmRy and sorrow were the chief
features OF the scene, and from these the
most coherent and accurate story could
not be expected but We have embo lied
the sights and events that
were personally brought TO our notice
during pretty thorough investigation OF
the accident and its results. As the
night were on the excitement did not
diminish, aud excited and
eager thrOngs sought the various
resting places of the wounded. The old
man, Mr.. Popp, about IL o'clock was
carried from the Priests house, ghsstly
and limp, and placed in a common
sleigh to be carried TO bis home. The
whole neighborhOCd was in distress and
terror, as there are but few who had not
soma relative or friend st the festival.
These are the bloody pictures OF q few
short hours, and though hurfledly and
inadequsteiY painted, none can fail to
catch the h=eting vision Of death as IL
is photographed Ia the manglsd dead o!
the nights holocaust.
The policemen and firemen were on
the scene, and worked with their usual
and vigoF.

his wife to return to him, which she
persisted in declining. Although he still
adhered TO . temperate life, be found

himself compelled to live a life of mis-
cry" Having, on Wednesday, induced
his daughter TO go to neighboring house
on come eIraDd, he deliberately began to
set his house in order. He placed his
pOcket-book and money in a convenient
drawer, put his keys where they could
be easily found, and arranged the fire so
that ii could 10 nc damage before his
daughter !urned-then took his pistol
from beneath the pillow, where he always
kept it, walked out into the portch, sat
down, End ebot himself through the
head. Nnsn his daughter returned, he

crushed by the powder ard ball.

When individual Shin-plasters" were
so abundant during the suspension" of
1867, young man named VIM. w. en-
tered store in Denton, Md. to get some
change. Among several small notes hand
ed to him by the merchant was one orna-
mented with spread eagle, bearing in his
beak the national motto, E Plaribus
Ununl." Eying the note suspiciously he
exclaimed, "Whos Il Pluribus Unum :? Is
he good p The shout of laughter from
the bystanders which followed. told him he
had committed blunder; when, thinking
to correct it he said :-"Oh! l know now ;
its the place where it was printed !" An
other and louder peal of laughter caused
his hasty exit from the store.
Two ladies entered drug store, in a
certain town, and one of them inquired as
to the whereabouts of former clerk in
the establishment. "He is gone to the
city to study pharmacy" said the Doctor.
" Why, Ia Doctor" said the surprised
querist, "Is he going to be farmer ?"

officers Of the government in Washington
are expected by courtesy to pay their re-
apects 10 the President, with the COM
pliments of the season." it is given out
that General Grant, with his family, has
made arrangements to be in the "City of
Brotberly Love-"
Well, then, may inquisitive people ask
what does all this me an : Since his elec-
ton, too, as the successor of Mr.. johnson,
General Grant has seized upon every
chance to get away from Washington, and
the idea has prevailed that he has been
dodging about to escape the annoyances of
those buzzing gadfies and mosquitoes, the
ofiice-seekers but these fellows, it is hint
ed, are consoling themselves with the fan
cy that General Grants main object in
these pleasure excursions has been, is, and
will be till the 4th of March, to keep out
of the way of Andy johnson. On the oc-
casion of Lincoln's Inauguration ON the 4th
of March, 1861, the President going out
and the President coming in, "Old Buck"
and "Old Abe" rode up to the capitol,
side by side, in the same harouche. That
was pleasant conjunction of the negative
and positive elements of craftsmanship,
and we have been hoping for the same
thing on General Grants Inauguration.
But when at every tea party in Washing
ton the misunderstanding between Grant
and johnson is the leading topic among
the ladies, there Ia reason to fear that with
the movement of the inaugural procession
of Grant to the capitol, johnson will be en-
route to Tennessee.
But still the mystery broached remains
unsolved, while the question, what does
all this mean ? remains unanswered. 1t
can, however, be answered in one word

The Habeas COrTus--A Remarkable Pr0ph-

ecy FULFILLED.
About $50 years ago, on an island mea-
dow in the river Thames, still known as
Runnymede, on the 18th Of August, the
iron-clad friends of freedom in England
met King John, and wrcsted from him the
same rights that have been trampled upon
for the last seven years. That was the
birthday of Magma Charta. the great
charter of English liberty. It contained
these words - No man shall be arrested,
imprisoned, or deprived Of His own free
household, Or of his liberties, or of his own
customs, or outlawed and banished, or in
jurcd in any manner, nor will we pass
sentence upon him, nor send trial upon
him, unless by the legal judgement of his
peers, or by the law of the land" This
is the great germ of our civil liverty. 1t
was defended in England by many wars,
and has been ratified by many acts of Par
lament, and at the present day, no King or
Parliament of England would dare, in any
way, to restrict the privilege of the habeas
corpus. II was engrafted as fundamen-
tai principle in our constitution, and our
forefathers believed it to be sure guaran-
tee for the rights of future generations.
About six years before the Federal con-
stitution was adopted, remarkable prophe-
cy was uttered under the following circum-
stances In 1880, Henry Lawrens, for
mer President of the Continental Congress
was sent as minister to Holland. On his
way he was captured and Imprisoned in the
| Tower of London for fourteen months.
When Lord Shelburn became Premier,
Laurens was brought out upon habeas cor
pus and released After his release he
dined with Lord Shelburn, when the con-
versation turned ON the separation of the
two countries. Lord Shelburn remarked
81 am sorry for your people," Why
sop asked Laurens. "They will lose
the habeas corpus" was the reply. close
the habeas corpus" said Laurens in aston
ishment. Eyes" said Lord Shelburn.
"We purchased it with centuries of wrang-
ling, many years of fighting, and had ii
confirmed by at least fifty acts of Parlia-
ment. All this taught the nation its val,
ue, and it is SO ingrained into their creed
as the very foundation of their liberty, that
no man or party will ever dare trample on
it. Your people will pick it up and at.
tempt to use it, but, having cost then
nothing, they will not know how to appre.
ciate it, AT the first great internal feud
that you have, the majority will trample
upon it, and the people will permit it to
be done, and SO will go your liberty
