Narrow Escape of Two Young tttt Ladies.

Yesterday afternoon, about half-past 4 o'clock, as barouche with two young ladies of Shelby county hssa just passed through a gateway near the railroad crossing on the shelby vile pike, and the negro driver was closing the gate train came laundering along, and as the To- comotivc whistle sounded, the two spirited horses dashed off along the pike, SO badly frightened as to be en- tircly beyond control. The negro dri- yer shouted, but to no purpose; the horses only going the faster for the noise, and the young ladies screaming with fright. Mir. Thomas Hall, a young gentleman ofthis city, who was driving out toward the race track, mo- ticed the horses in time to jump out of his buggy, and, by waving his hat, partially checked their mad career.
 Fearing they would dash into fence, at the risk of his neck he sprang into the barouche, but as he drew up the lines the horses became furious, and aeain bounded of at break-neck speed, threatening every moment to upset the vehicle or to pitch out the two now thoroughly terrified young ladies, who, had it not been for the presence of mind of Mir. Hall in pre- venting them, would have leaped froni their seats into the road. Never was terror more strongly depicted on two human faces, and the young man heart was away up,in his mouth as the mad brntes nearsc.s tic great stone posts. that loomed up near the toil-gase :
 What 1.-the barrouche with its pre- cious freight, should be dashed agains' one of these? The thought made nm turn pale. Gathering all his strengths however, he determined to do his part like a maa, and with this resolve ne plsnted his foot against one of the an jfsals and with all his might com .neneed vigorous "see-saw" on the iiucs. The horses, rearing ana piuhs
 inc. still. kept on, their heads Jerkihs rom side to side and their nostrils .s,oaminr with their hot breath. here seemed little hope as the brouche neared the posts, and the frightened .oer,,ponts looked for nothing 6us

winter Apples for the south.

It has long been the conviction of many persons that there were no varieties of apples which would succeed as winter keepers at the South. This mistaken mo- :tion has arisen from the fact that until within the past few years Southern tree planters knew no better than to plant varieties of Northern origin; never for a moment taking into consideration the i'm iportant fact that given variety of fruit requires for it's perfect development and maturity a given amount of light and heat; and that as a matter of course, a variety that will mature at the North at the close of warm weather there, will ma ture at the South before the close of warm weather here; and that having matured, 1t will enter into state of rapid decom- position and decay through the chemical changes brought about by excess of heat, No variety of fruit can be valuable as a winter fruit in any climate unless the time required for its maturity embraces all the warm weather of the latitude in which it is grown. Hence, an apple to be a winter apple at the South, must not mature before the close of warm weather here-that is, 1t must require several weeks longer time to reach maturity than Northern winter apples demand. Winter apples for the South must be such as are "native and to the manor born." They can be valuable only to the South since, in a higher latitude, the cold weather would come upon them before they reach cd maturity.
 Iu the matter, then, of winter fruits, it certainly holds to reason, and to the immutable laws of nature, that, by the prop.r selection of varieties, the South may become entirely independent of the North, Indeed, the ost respectable Northern pomologists admit that our best Southern winter apples attain higher excellence in respect to sprightliness ana flavor than it is possible for any Northern winter spples to obtain. There is nc reason, then, why the South may not sup ply the Northern markets with the very finest winter apples, and at ths mos remuneratiye prices. Intelligence in tht selection of varities, and industry in theil cultivation, can accomplish this-and i will be accomplished.
 Possessed of the finest soil and climate in the world for the production of th' most delicious fruits, let us hope that tht South may soon be able to rise from hel prostrate condition. and that she may soon look upon her hills crowned and hel wales shaded with her own native tree' and vines-the glory and the pride of tho generous hands that planted them TX OCT X Bledsoe's Catalogue.

The Approaching state
Election.

The approaching State election is
one of very great importance to the
people Of Iowa. We have Govern
or, Lieutenant Governor, Judge OF
the Supreme Court, members of the
Legislature, and also County officers
to elect.
The present Governor, Col. Sam.
Merrill, will be reelected by very
large majority, as he ought to be.
He has made very careful and eff
cient officer during his present term,
and has given very general satisfac-
ton. No better man coud be found
In the State for that place. The can
didates for the other State Offices are
all able and trustworthy men, and
the people will have no cause TO re-
greet their reelection.
The selection of able and efficient
men for the Legislature, which con-
venes next winter, is also very I'M
portant. Matters Of paramount
importance will come before that
body for their action.
