Dagn About o'clock on the 18th inst,
as the Pacific Express train which left
New York on Saturday night, over the
Pennsylvania Central and Pittsburg and
Chicago railways, reached crossing
about ten miles cast of Valparaiso, Indi-
ana, it was suddenly thrown from the
track by the displacement of n rail, and
the locomotive and second-class passen-
ger car were precipitated down an en-
bankment about fifteen feet.
The engineer, Samuel Schagle and the
fireman, j. Hancock, were both buried
under the engine. The engineer died in
few minutes after being rescued, and
Hancock is so badly injured that he can
survive but a few hours at the most.
The passengers in the second-class car
were all more or less hurt, but none Sc
riously. No one was injured in the first
class or sleeping coaches. 1t is pretty
certain that the accident was cause by
the removal ola rail from the track by a
man living near, in revenge for the loss
of COW which had been killed by a
train, and for which the railroad company
declined to pay.

FrightfuI ARRAY Between Five Men.

A terrible and fatal affray occurred at
Columbus, Ky, on the 9th inst. 1t ap-
pears that five men, who had difficulty
two weeks ago, met in the town and pro-
ceeded to settle matters in free fight,
the result being as follows: Smith Glib
son stabbed twice and died instantly !;
Geo. Gibson stabbed dangerously; Austin
had his skull fractured by club and will
die; Conrad shot and no hope Of recov-
cry; Brockman stabbed and terribly
beaten, but taken home The nature of
the fight is shown by the fact that all
those engaged were hors du combat in
three minutes after the commencement
Of the affray.

Accident and Narrow Escnne.

On Friday evening last, Carrie b.,
daughter Of Andrew Davenport, aged
about three years, narrowly escaped seri-
Gus injury, if not sudden death, in Mon
louisville. She was going to the pump
when one of the boards covering the well
tilted and Carrie fell to the bottom, dis
tance Of about twenty-five feet Mr..
Jacob Schriner, who was but short dis
tance from the pump, saw the child dis.
appear, and fastened to the spot, when
he Immediately descended into the well
and found the child had crept up the
wall several feet, and that she was very
much exhausted. He brought her out at
once, and on examination she was found
to be somewhat bruised, but her injuries
are very slight-Matonian.

Says the Louisville Comier-JOurndl:
The journalist who wants office mistakes
his calling An editor is himself an Of
fetal, occupying very enviable position !;
and his consequence is to be measured by
that of his journal, great or small, as it
may be. He should require preferment
only in his profession, which is branch
of the public service. But in order to be
a good journalist he must cschew eau
cuses, committeesand conventions, he must
hold himself aloof from cliques, he must
beware of intrigue. His road lies straight
before him. He must not become party
to personal local and party struggles only
to be advised as to what is going on and
the more isolated he keeps himself, and
the more disinterested he is, the better
will he fulfil his mission as faithful SER
want Of the people. All the editors who
have gone into politics have made mis-
takes, because journalism and Office are
at odds and a man must violate the one or
the other, if he attempts to join the
two"

THE IMPORTANCE of every voter doing
his duty on election day is proved by tho
close vote between the parties in several
congressional districts. In the Six
teenth District Cessna was beaten by thir-
teen votes; in the Seventeenth, Morrill,
was defeated by eleven votes, and in the
Eighteenth District Sherwood had only
twenty-one majority; so that forty-fve
votes was the total majority of three
members Of Congress. TO bring the mat
ter nearer home we find that in four in
stances in this county there was no cleo
ton, owing to the candidates receiving a
tie vote" Let no man, hereafter, who
has the right to vote, neglect to peform
his duty, thinking one vote of no conse-
quence.

SECRETARY Cox has resigned hi

SECRETARY Cox has resigned his
position in the Cabnent. In his re-
tirement the Government loses a faith
full officer, whose only fault has been, a
refusal to allow the department control
led by him, to be prostituted to partizan
uses, regardless of principle. He refused
to allow the clerks under his control to be
assessed (only another expression for
robbed by the party leaders, leaving the
matter optional with them to give what
they felt they could afford. This with
the politicians was mortal offence and
nothing would satisfy them but placing
some more pliable gentleman in charge of
that department. In allowing a faithful
office, to be crowded out for any such
reason the President has sadly disappoin-
ted many who heretofore believed that
he would regard the services of faith
ful officer as of more value than the good
will of partizan politicians.

MANY business houses have been in
the habit of having stamps printed upon
their blanks for receipts, as we'll as upon
their bank checks The new law, upon
going into effect, finds many firms with
large stocks of these stamped receipts on
hand. Application having been made to
Commissioner Delano to know how these
can be used, he ordered that such stamp
ed receipts may be exchanged for equal
value in any denomination of internal
stamps.

Delyn The Bellefonte Fdtchmaa says
that MIR. John II. Jacobs, of Snow Shoe,
gunsmith, having repaired gun that
was left with him, started to takeit home
to the owner, and thinking that he might
see something to shoot on the way, took
his own gun with him, loading them
both. On the way he saw squirrel run
up a tree, and placing one gun on the
ground, with the muzzle leaning against
his breast, fired at the squirrel, but while
in the act the other gun was accidentally
discharged also, the contents entering the
thick part Of his left arm, from the effects
Of which the unfortunate man bled to
death. He was buried on Saturday last.

ed and hastily ran to the streets. The
shock lasted from 20 to 80 seconds.

DGg" The Miners Journal states that on
Friday last George Richmond, of Mount
Carbon, brakeman on the shifting en-
CINE Shamokin," became engaged in an
alteration with his mother about a gun,
and after some words had been passed,
George took the piece across his knee
and broke the stock, after which he took
the barrel and struck it over stone for
the purpose of further destroying the gun.
The stroke caused the piece to discharge,
the load taking effect in his person in
such way as to cause his death on Sat
urday night.

VIRGINIA ITEM.-The Enterprise
says: The smokiness ofthe atmosphere
in this State is doubtless due to the
large fires prevailing ir various local
tiles in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
BY the Nevada Call Transcript we
learn that a fire is now raging in the
woods north Of that place. 1t has been
burning over two weeks and has al
ready burned over district of seven
or eight miles square. All the young
gro 18th of timber is destroyed as well
as many of the large trees. A person
standing in the neighborhoOd of the
fire can hear the fall of a large tree ev-
cry few minutes. Nosystematic effort
has been made to extinguish the con-
tlagration, the few people on the ridge
contenting themselves with efforts to
save their individual property. The
best trees for lumber, such as sugar
pine, take fire and burn the most
readily.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-We
are grieved to learn that Geo. Downev,
Chief of Police of Virginia City, came
near losing his life a night or two
since by the running away of a buggy
team which he was driving. The We
hicle capsized on Main street in that
city, and the wheels passed right over
GEORGES head, severely lascerating his
scalp and cutting his lower lip in a
fearful manner. He was picked up,
senseless, and conveyed to his lodg-
ings, where he soon recovered.
Georges life is too valuable to his
friends, the Republican party and the
public generally, to permit of his seri-
Gus injury or the loss of his life.

\ CANDIDATE FOR STATE MINERAL
oGIsT.-Mr. Henry Whitehill, of
Churchill County, announces himself
in the APPEAL this morning as can
didate for the position of State Miner
alogist, subject to the action of the Re-
publican State Convention. 1t is but
fair to say of this gentleman, who ap-
pears before the citizens of Ormsby
as comparative stranger, that he is
one who came to this State-or Terri
tory-when he was yet lad; who
earned, by hard labor, money enough
to take him East and put him through
Princeton College, where he specially
qualified himself for the place to which
he now aspires. In thus introducing
this young gentleman we should be
doing ourself injustice if we failed to
add that we must not be considered
as partizan of his as against Mr..
White-if he aspires to reelection
nor as against Mr.. Clayton or other
candidates. We simply desire to give
him fair show-as he is entitled to.
