A HORRIBLE accident happened last Sunday
at the house of Jacob Klumb near White
Haven, Pa. In the morning of that day he
and his wife started for church, leaving hired
man and two little daughters, aged thirteen
and six years. About II clock the elder child
began to make preparations for dinner. In
kindling the fire the wood failed to ignite, and
she got the oil can and poured a few drops on
the wood. In a moment the can exploded, and
both she and her little sister, who was stand

them proved futile, though the neighbors were

The Argus prints the absurd statement of
the Boston Herald that the income fox will
yield but about ten million dollars, and that it
will cost nearly as much to collect it. The
expense of collecting the aohole Internal Rev.
nae in 1869 was $9,O1s, 400, SO that if the In
come tax yields no more than the Herald and
Agrus claim, it will pay for collecting the
whole Internal Revenue and have million
beside. 1t the argus goes in for fiction, it
can find more popular themes than finance.
