Reputation.

We are not afraid to speak
it. Reputation, speak it; hear
how it sounds. Reputation
of what? Of a debt we never
contracted, of a thing that is
morally wrong, of a heinous
crime. The Republican party
can repudiate; they said the
war was for the Union they
repudiated that. they said
the negro was not to be freed,
they repudiated that. They
said he was not to have suffrage,
they repudiated that. They
said the soldiers should have
one hundred and sixty acres
of land, they repudiated that,
and gave the land to monopo-
lies. They said they were in
favor OF economy, Chey Iepuul'
ated that. They said they were
friends of the poor, they repu-
dated that. They said they
would be honest, they repudia-
ted that. They promised and
pledged a thousand things and
repudiated them all. After
such an example it is popular,
and if they would go one step
further and repudiate the debt,
they might atone for part Of
their misdeeds. Reputation,

IMMEDIATELY after the heavy
storm, which passed over this vii
age, about 6 o'clock, on Monday
evening last, terrific flash of light
ming descended and appeared to
scatter before reaching the ground,
between z. B. PUGH's shop on the
west side, and HARMON LowRY's
residence, on the east side Of Logan
street. Mrs. LOWRY was out in the
street near the house milking at the
time, and was terribly shocked by
the discharge Of electricity, which
caused her to fall insensible to the
ground. A large number of people
from all parts of the town, who had
been startled by the frightful flash
Of lightning and loud clap Of thun-
der, soon gathered around her. Af-
ter throwing water on her face, she
was carried in and placed on the
bed, when she began to show signs
of life. She is now slowly recover
ing, but is still unable to sit up.

ON the nj. sc. R.R.

AS the Express was nearing Van
dewaker's tunnel last Saturday, the
flagman signaled the train to stop.
The engineer at once signaled down
brakes, which the brakemen on the
rear cars put on with such good
will that the train parted. The en-
gine, baggage, and one passenger
car, went on some distance before
they came to q stop. By this time
the whole train was in the tunnel.
AS the train passed the fagman he
screamed out to the engineer that
another train was coming just at
the other end of the tunnel The
moment the engineer succeeded in
stopping the part of the train at
tached to his engine, he reversed
and came laundering back, striking
the two cars which had broken
loose a heavy tilt and smashing the
couplings and platforms up nicely.
Nobody was hurt but several ladies
were terrible frightened. 1t is due
to the engineer to state that he did
not know his train had parted

A mournful accident occurr.
ed a few days since on New
river, West Virginia. 1t seems
that two young men, one Of
them a Mr., Hammond, nephew
of G. P. Huntington, President
of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, and the other a Mr..
Howard, were going over the
survey of the new railroad,
and embarked in a canoe near
Miller's Ferry, on the New
river. AS the river was much
swollen by recent rains, and the
current swift, they were warn
ed of the danger of making the
voyage in such a frail craft, but
they persisted in their determ-
ination, and had proceeded in
safety until reaching the shoals
at Hawks Nest, which they
attempted to go over in the
boat. Shortly after leaving
the shore, the canoe was dash.
ed to pieces on the rocks, and
the young men were buried in
the rapid waters. The body
of Howard has been recovered,
much disfgured. A reward is
offered for the recovery Of the
body Of Hammond. Both were
residents Of New York, and
engaged in surveying the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railroad
