The Richmond Enquirer says Some PEG
pie seem 10 think that the special mission OF 4
newspaper is to pitch into, las they elegantly
phrase it, whatever person or thing may be
pointed out as obnoxious. Their idea seems to
be that newspaper is in some sort terrier
dog posted at the street corner for the purpose
of barking whenever anybody sets it upon an
object he hates and wishes to wrong" And
the beauty" of the thing is, that these very
people are generally afraid themselves tc
pitch in, but would gladly get somebody else
to do it for them.

married again was very great. The son for

DREADFUL ACCIDENT. The home of Mr..
Vinage, one of the solid farmers Of Butler
county, Ohio, who resides near Jones Station,
was on Tuesday night the scene Of q distressing
casualty. A married daughter of Mr.. V. who
lives in Crittenden, Ky, was on visit to her
father with her daughter, seventeen months
old. The little cir! crying on the evening OF
the occurrence for bread and&utter, her nurse,
girl Of twelve, took large carving knife gen
orally used for the purpose, aud started down
the cellar steps for the butter, carrying the
child with her. Her foot slipping, and feeling
herself about to fall, the nurse, with consider
able, though indiscrect, presence Of mind,
threw the hand that held the knife out IRON
her side to prevent danger to the child. In
falling the handle Of the knife struck the stems
first, and stood, for second, blade upward. In
that second the baby fell upon its u2turned
point, and was completely impaled, directly
through the heart The CONSERVATION and
grief OF tic mother and grand parents may be

for Virginia are satisfactory to the Admins

cluster about the greatest of all patriots and

the moment, moved to anger against the Old
Dominion. They may change their minds GER

Ta1p Story OF A CLERK.-A New England

TRUE STORY OF A CLERK.-A New England
merchant doing large business requiring
several clerks, short time since missed several
articles Of value from his store. He determined
TO watch the habits of the young men, to dis
over, if possible, which one, if either OF them,
was untrustworthy. There was one OF them
who appeared particular y active and faithful;
his dress was inferior to that oil the other clerks
and was not particularly popular among them'
The merchant learned that this young man re-
manned for half an hour or more alter others
left, with the door OF the store locked. This
circumstance awakened his suspicious, and he
arranged a plan to conceal himself IN the store
so that he might discover what occurred When
the clerk supposed himself to be unobserved;,
Having sent the young man upon an erranu
inst before the hour OF closing, he entered his
place Of concealment. The door was locked as
nsnal at the proper time. The clerk at once
hrgan TO sweep and put the establishment IN
order.
While waiting Tor the dust to settle, he was
seen to 20 behind the counter, and taking
something from beneath it, placed 1t IN the
breast Of his coat. The merchant was now
alive to discover what had been taken, and
what was to be done with it. The young man
went to the window and sat in silence lew
moments, apparently examining the package
which he had taken from his breast. The mer
chant was not long left in doubt. His clerk
soon fell upon his knees; he saw that 1T was a
Bible he had been reading and now he offered
aloud simple and touching. prayer, for him,
self. his mother, and sister, his employer, and
particularly for brother clerk, who, he feared,
was yielding to temptation. Alter he had
finished busting he lef. the store, unconscious
| of having had human eye upon him.
1t is easy to believe that the merchant was
deeply affected by what he had seen and heard.
This clerks salary was increased several hun
dred dollars year, and he was given the posi-
ton made vacant by the discharge Of another
whose criminal acts had been discovered.

throws out is positively immense. The
water at the edges was SO hot that one
could hardly hold the hand in it, and the
temperature gradually increased towards the
centre The water is of deep blue color,
strongly impregnated with sulphur and very
