A great deal Is said about the low
water of the Ohio River, as II it was q
great deal lower than ever 1t was known
to be before. / have seen II frequently
lower than 1t is now or has been ut any
time during the present season. Wheel.
ing Creek is not as low as 1t was last
season, and this Is pretty fair index for
the river. The lowest point ever reached
by the drought in the river, 1t Is believed,
was in the year 1888, when it was about
Il foot lower than during this summer.
The drought OF that summer continued
through the fall. In November o little
rise Camo in the river and our people
started out with their .tdt boats loaded
with produce, potatoes, apples, &c, and
were all caught by severe freeze, which
closed up the river, stopped navigation,
and destroyed the potatoes In this fall
potatoes were twenty-five cents bushel !;
in the spring or after this freeze, they rose
to one dollar per bushel. In neighbor-
ing town, u fellow countryman OF Irish
nativity came to get a pair of boots made.

literally as she does a0to with boots, bro
gans, religion and politics, lie called on
Mr.. w the bootmaker, and duly made
bis bargain for the boots, always reitera.

deliver his "pratles" for the boots they
were worth twenty.iour dollars. But he
stood to his bargain like man, and Mr..
W., like q man, did not exact them.

An Example to be Followed.


The anti. Convention people in Preston
county have done a sensible thing in mix.
ing their ticket at the present time, and
nominating one representative from each
party as candidates for the State Conven.
tion. 1t is well known that Preston is
one Of the strongholds of Republicanism
in West Virginia, and can always be re-
lied on for a decided majority on any par
" issue. But, ignoring this fact, the Re-
publicans have wisely divided the honors
OF the canvass with that wing of the De-
mOcracy that antagonizes the Bourbons.
They have, in other words, nominated the
Hon. WIN. G. Brown, along with Mr..
KANTNER, and, OF course, both of them
will be elected.
This example Is worthy to be initiated
in all the counties where, as in Preston,
there is an opposition wing among the
Democracy. Why should not all oppo-
nents of reactionary changes in our pres
ent Constitution act together, since both
have common object in viewG
We are glad that the example of har-
mOnY has been set in Republican coun.
ty. Let 1t be followed in other counties.
1t is only in this way that we can make
the most of our resources. We shall need
oil this cooperation to save US from the
and FERGUsoNs in the Con-
yentiOn.

Terrible balloon AccIdent.


Near Paoli, Orange county, Ind, Prof
Wilbur made arrangements for balloon
assertion. He was to beaCcompanied by
Geo. II. Knapp, of Union. Just as they
were about getting in the balloon, the
cords gave way and they made spring
for the car, but only succeeded in grasp
ing the ropes as the balloon rose. Knapp
let go and fell at a hight of about thirty feet
without serious injury. Prof Wilbur
held on and attempted to climb into the
basket, but was unable to do so and the
balloon shot up rapidly with the aeronaut
clinging below. The spectators were
thrilled with horror at the terrible scene,
which ended in dreadful manner. Al
a hight Of about one mile, the doomed man
loOsed his hold and came whirling to the
earth. At the hight he attained he look
ed like small stick about a foot long. As
he approached the earth he was coming
down feet foremost, then spread out hori.
zontally, then doubled up and turned over,
then Strengthened out, head downwards,
as he struck the earth. He fell upon his
head and back. His head was mashed
into an indistinguisbable mass and his
body bruised and crushed horribly. The
conclusion was SO great that half a gallon
OF clOtted blood thrown from the body
made an indenture in the ground eight
inches deep and rebounded to about four
feet from where it struck. To add to the
painful character of the accident,
the Professors young wife and little
daughter were on the ground and |
the terrible affair. The re-
mains OF theunfortunate man was properly
cared for and buried at Paoll yesterday |
afternoon.
