A TerrIbIe Accident.

While the collection was being taken
up in the Colored Baptist Church at
Louisville, last Sunday night portion
OF the floor 10 front Of the pulpit gave
way, and caused an intense panic over
the supposed fact that the house was
going to fall The congregation, in a
wild aud fear stricken mass, crowded to-
wards the narrow passage way leading TO
the entrance, treading the weak under
foot, crushing, jamming struggling away
TO the exit. The minister retained his
presence of mind, aud called upon them
to be still, that there was no harm. aud
finally, with some few others. raised
hymn to calm the excited throng. But
they rushed on, some leaping from the
windows. others climbing over the com~
pact mass OF heads jammed in the stair
way. Women aud children were crush

In behalf Of every person who OWLS or drives

the Board of Pubic Works to set a force at
work to remove the loose cobble stones which
disfgure and make uncomfortable and danger
Gus nearly all the streets in the city. 1t viii not
require very high order of engineering talent
to carry on this small but useful piece OF work.
nor - there much danger of an injunction from
any body. Ii can be done almost if not quite
without experse, if capable judge who esti-
mate that the sale of the stones thus collected
will nearly pay the coTt of gathering them up,
are not widely mistaken. But whether they are
or not, the work should be done. 1t IS small
mater, to be sure; but the small annoyances
are always the most irritating.

WASHINGTON CITY:
nONOAY..............Au August D, 1871.

An rlrS,.a,-on b b Of the adequate enter
prise Of the newspaper guild and the interest
felt in )Hcal affairs in Ohio this season is fur
nished by the fact that the two leading papers
of Cincinnat., the Commercial and the Gazette
printed IN fun on Friday morning let, in adj
dition u their al complement of adverse
ments and the usual news Of the day, no less
than seven political speeches delivered the night
before. Thee address, were made by Mes-rs
Delano, Sherman, Garfield, Shellabarge-,
Hayes, Noyes and Mueller, respectively, and
were delivered at points so widely separated as
to cover nearly the entire length and breadth
of the State. Some of them were doubtless
printed f.Om copy furnished in advance, but
even if this were the case, the mere cost of exta
tyPe-setting, prcsl-wOrk and paper VIII foot up
no uncomfortable sum, u say nothing of the ex-
peDses of reporting, and other OUTLAWS indspen-
sable to a double issue.
Enterprise ike this is in the highest degree
creditable, not only II the papers exhibiting it,
but - the profession Of journalism. OF course
there must be a demand for it, or il would not
have been called out, and the live newspaper of
the day, 20 its credit be it said, is always found
equal 70 the occasion. The fact that the public
Is willing u read such a mass of political ltera-
tJre is more sr' prising than that papers should
stand ready to print il.

Those persons charged with that duty do not
seem u have yet comprehended the true theory
OF sweeping the streets paved with wood. OF
course the attempt to sweep them without
sprir Ming at all little better than mischev-
Gus idiocy. But the trouble now is that the
sweeping follows the sprinkling too closely. The
result Is that the deposit is formed into a sticky
paste which is to a great eAsent spread over the
street surface by the coarse brooms, to be dried
up and blown about next day, instead of being
swept up into heaps or ridges and carried off by
the carts. What should be done, is to sprinkle
the streets between five and seven O'Clock in the
evening, and commence sweeping at ten or
eleven at night. Then the dust would be found
to be evenly moist, without being muddy and
sticky, and it could all be swept up and carted
off without detriment to housekeepers or dis
comfort to those whose rooms front on those
thoroughfsres.
Will somebody give the requisite directions?
