SHOCKING ACCIDENT-Two MEN
DRowNED.-One of the most dis
tressing accidents, all things con-
sidered, that we have heard of fol
many days occurred on Monday last,
in Fayette county. Two young men,
(one of them Mr.. Hammond, a
nephew of Mr.. G. P Huntingdon,
President C. & o. R, R., and the
other, Mr.. Howard, started from
Miller's Ferry, on New River, in a
skiff accompanied by ayoung man
named Marsh, who lived in the vi
cinity, and was acquainted with the
river. When they reached the
shoals st Hawks Nest they express
ed determination to remain in the
skiff while it was going through the
rapids, although Mr.. Marsh advised
them not to. Mr.. Dempsey, who
resides in the vicinity, also endeav-
ored to dissuade them from the per-
ilous enterprise, telling them that
the empty skiff could only be gotten
down in safety, by attaching lines to
it. They persisted. however, Mr..
Marsh refusing to go in the frail ves-
sci, and soon after leaving the
shore, they were buried in the rapid
waters. The body of Mr.. Howard
has been found, the head very much
disfigured. There is q reward OF
500 offered for the body of Mr..
Hammond.-Rana,cka Republican.

TRUTHFULNEsS.

Two country lads came at an early
hour to market town, and arranging
their little stands, sat down to wait for
customers. One was furnished with
fruits and vegetables of the boys own
raising and the other supplied with
clans and fish. The market hours
passed along, and each little merchant
saw with pleasure his store steadily de-
creasing, and an equivalent in silver
bits shining in his little money cup
The last melon lay on Harry's stand,
when gentleman came by, aud placing
his hand upon it, said, "What a fine,
large melon! What do you ask for it,
my boy?"
'The melon is the last l have, sir;
and though it looks very fair, there is
an uusound spot in it," said the boy,
turning it over.
so there is" said the man; 81
think | will not take it. But" he ad-
ded. looking into the boys fine, open
countenance. sit is very business-like
to point out the defects of your fruit
TO customers?"
at is better than being dishonest,
sir" said the boy, modestly.
"You are right, little fellow; always
remember that principle, and you will
find favor with God and man also; |
shall remember your little stand in fu
ture. Are those CLANS fresh?' he con-
tinued, turning to Ben Wilson's stand.
Eyes, sir; fresh this morning, II
caught them myself" was the reply,
and purchase being made, the gentle
man went away.
''Harry, what a fool you were to
show the gentleman that spot in the
melon! Now, you can take it home
for your pains. or throw it away. How
much wiser is he about those clans |
caught yesterday? Sold them for the
same price as l did the fresh ones.-l
He would never have looked at the
melon until he had gone away"
"Ben, would not tell lie or act
one either. for twice what have earned
this morning. Besides, l shall be bet
ter off in the end, for l have gained a
customer, and you have lost one"
And so it proved, for the next day
the gentleman bought nearly all his
fruits and vegetables of Harry, but
never spent another penny at the stand
of his neighbor. Thus the season
passed; the gentleman. finding he could
alway get a good article of Harry,
constantly patronized him, and some
times talked with him few minutes
about his future prospects. To become
a merchant was Harry's great ambi-
ton; and when the winter came on,
the gentleman wanting trusty boy
for his warehouse, decided on giving
the place to Harry. Steadily and sure
ly he advanced in the confidence of his
emplo yer, until having passed through
various posts of service, he became at
ength an honored partner in the firm.

We hadn't much luck at first. But
after awhile Buster--that was the dog's
name--stood and pointed at covey
of the finest birds l ever saw in all my
born days. They were squatting down
in the low grass, dozen yards off, in
plain sight, and determined to fire at
them as they lay. lifted my gun,

killed dozen at least, but before l
could pull the trigger, courier dashed
up with dispatch which he said re-

Department to proceed, without a mo-
ment's delay, to Philadelphia to take
command of a squadron which was
about to sail to the Mediterranean. l

upon going few PAGES further, to find
the skeleton of that heroic, double
nosed pointer, standing up just where
had left the dog three years before.
He had never budged an inch, that
double nosed pointer hadn't; but he
had stood there and pointed at those
birds, until he had perished in his
tracks! Well sir, after shedding a
tear over my departed friend, l went
few yards ahead, and there iOere the

that ever came under my

Which Was RIoHT-We heard 8
party of grammarians yesterday argu-
ing for a half an hour over the ques-
ton, "Is it right to say six and seven
is eleven, or six and seven are eleven?"
Some were certain is was the proper
term to employ, on the principle, per-
haps, that whatever is is right, while
others were equally strenuous that are
was the right word.
"Do you mean to say, SIR" said one
distinguished grammarian, very much
excited, to another distinguished gram
marian, "that six and seven are elev-
en?"
at are." replied the other, equally
excited.
Much confusion ensued, and it was
feared that a collision would ensue be-
tween the distinguished grammarians.
In fact, after conjugotlng each other
pretty sharply and working themselves
up to the superlotivc degree of the
wrathful mood, they did make few
parses at each others heads. In the
present tense of affairs it was agreed to
leave the question to the decision Of the
Teutonic gentleman who brought their
lager. Said one of them
"Hans, which is right, to say six
and seven IS eleven, or six and seven
are eleven?"
"Vich is rechtf"
