The Kenton Republican says that
Miss Eva. Ward daughter Of Mr..
Francis Ward, of Kenton, when on
a visit to- some of her friends at Mt.
Victory, Hardin County, met with a
sad accident on Sunday, the Both ult.
She was seated neal. a table or stand
reading, surrounded by the children,
when in some movement the lamp was
toppled over and fell into her lap,
splitting the coal oil over her and
burning her face, breast and arm so
severely that her life is ~despaired of.
The fire was promptly eXtinguished
and physicians Immediately sent for
and everything done that would re-
lieve the poor girl from pain. Too
much care cannot be exercised in the
disposal, of those dangerous articles,
as not a day passes but some valuable
life is sacrificed upsn the Unsuitable
altar, of petroleum, and nine cases out
of ten are females.
a wood sawyer, who was piling
wood near the railroad track at Ed
gerton, Ohio, one day last week no
ticed, while standing on the pile as
the lightning train approached, a
large stick lying upon a rail. With
out a moments hesitation he leaped
directly before the train and grasped
the stick. AT that instant the engine
struck him and hurled him. some dis
lance forward. He fell to the ground
mangled and l~ifeless, but he had saved
the train.-Ota,0 Union. a.
At a late hour of night, or early
in the morning. on Wednesday. the
residence of H.. B. Perkins, ESQ.,, on
Mahoning Avenue, was entered by
some one through the kitchen door,
who proceeded to the sleeping room
of Mr.. Perkins, where he obtained a
fine gold watch, manufactured in
London and marked on the face; with
the owners name, and a pocket book
containing a small amount of money.
From the room the burglars went
up stairs to the sleeping room of some
of the female members of the family.
where they evidently took their time
in the selection of such articles, as
might suit their fancy. A bureau
standing within three feet 4 Of a bed

From the great length of the Mes

patchwork, we shall decline to pub

may see its recommendations, upon Re
construction, Finance, and the aim of
the Radical party, we will give its lead

comments.

The banking capital of the whole
country amounts to S432. 900 ,000.-
It is stated that the average circula-
ton amounts to about, $500, 00O, 900.
: This is a stupendous sum; and if it
could be equally put in circulation,
would certainly be sufficient to carry

IHE DANGEROUS. ELEMENTS OF So
c1ETY.-Few persons are aware of the
rapid strides which the female sects are
making towards, the acquisition of
power! We already have our female
doctors, professors, lawyers, dentists,
farmers, lecturers, merchants, postmas-
ters, BARRIERS, 1ion-temers, &c, and in
i've years we shall have our female hack
men, omnibus drivers, blacksmiths. coal
heavers, pugilists, sea-captains and fa-
i, theirs of families. They are determined
to vote; they. have several newspaper
organs, some devoted to their rights in
general, others to polygamy, and others
chiefly to the advocacy of divorce.
The other day one entered herself at
jumping mateh-and aeon.
In recent issue of the New York He
rad we find the report of an inquest
held by Coroner Schirmer, at the
Morgue. on the body of John Hickey,
late or No. 10 Roosevelt. street, who died
IN Bellevue Hospital from the effects of
injuries received by being kicked in the
abdomen, on the 21st instant, by Mrs.
Margaret Anderson. In the same issue
of the Herald is an,account of the shoot
ing OF Richard Cody, by Mrs. Southwick.
Z. we read in a ST. Louis paper an ac-
NSs~o Va '314o' oDJu, WHO, says LQ0
newspaper, has waited for several days
past at the corner of Eighth and Locust
streets for her husband, with the stump
OF carriage whip in her hand. About
noon he came along--whistline a tune.
The infuriated woman rushed upon him
and gave him the whip. He caught her
wrists and held her, wherenpon She as
tened upon his arm with her teeth, &c.
In New York, q week since, Coroner
flynn held an inquest in the case of 10.
seph Friedlander, who died at 2O9 Third
street, from the effects of blow from a
whip in the hands of Mrs. Elizabeth
Orthofer.
On Sunday, the 18th instant, at q
funeral in New York city, Ellen Rebecca
UT stabbed Thomas Barrett with q cary.
ing knife.
These facts are conclusive to show
whefe we are drifting. Unless there is
some concert of action among men. and
sowe protection secured, there will be no
living in this world.

nightly in heavy dews, from marshes and
swamps surcharged with moisture from the
dying foliage OF the woods, from fostering
pools and sluggish streams, the sun OF Sep.
temoer evolves clouds of miasmatic vapor pe-
rlious to health and life. The body, deprived
by the burning temperature OF July and Au-
guet OF much OF its vigor and elasticity, is not
in a proper plight to resist mala ria; ann hence
all diseases that are produced by deprayed

Corset Strings.

Don't draw Your torset strings quite
SO tightly aboutyour eighteen-inch waist;
although eighteen inches is nonstrous
waist. 1t IS greater waste to throw away
your health to secure smaller one. Per-
haps you think ,;the men admire tiny
waistS that can be clasped with two
hands Not bit Of. .it! Men are setsi-
Die enough to know. that God never made
one, woman without lungs and heart in
side her ribs; and if the place where
those organs should be is reduced to a
quarter part the natural size, they are
also sensible enough. to know that the
lungs and heart must be somewhere; and
II they are squeezed from their natural
position, the next question is, where are
they? 3d.:
It is just like this, girls: Thousands Of
you are every day lacing up nice little
bundle for the angel Of death to take
away. Itis yoHr Life that you are draw
ing the fatal cords about. With your
own white hands you are straining at the
bands which must hurry you from earth.
Every time you tighten your corset
strings beyond the drawing of free.
natural breath, that will expand your
lungs to the utmost, you are drawing
your own life within the natural limits.
You are killing yourself to follow sense
less fashion,. You laugh at the foolish
negro women who must measure six feet
about the waist to be considered fit for
matrimony; but tell you every black
negro woman of them is more sensible
than yourself, who tightens the fatal
strings until there is nothing left of
natural waist but backbone, the tip
ends OF two ribs, a scrap of cuticle, and
eight strips of whalebone Just as though
God didn't know what he was about
when he cut the pattern for his Evel
just as If you knew better than your
Maker how many inches your waist
ought to measure. When you can ma
nufactnre the lungs, heart and other or
gans about which you draw the corset
string, it will be time enough to make q
whalebone basket to hold them; but
while God makes the body, do give him
chance to suit himself about the size
OF the waist. It is of little consequence
that your father or husband has thou
sand dollars to pay the doctor every little
while. No matter if your mother mourns
over your failing health, and anxious
friends sigh and whisper that you are
falling into decline. No matter if your
life is cut short by the habit of tight lac
ing, II you can show to your fashionable
friends waist six inches smaller than
the average. Only think It'll waist so
small that it can be clasped with two
handsl That is even better than wearing
the smallest bonnet, and having four
new ones year, isn'tit?
