FOURTH DISTRICT ITEMS.

Fatal Accident-Last Tuesday afternoon
James O'Rourick, employed at Blandy &
Bros Foundry, in Newark, Del, was per-
suaded by some companions to take an
afternoons cunning. Procuring a car
riagc, they started (six in number) for the
Morrison clearing, in the eastern part of
this District. Reaching there about p.
NJ, they tied their horse to the fence, and
began taking their guns out of the carriage.
O'Rourick went round to the hind part of
the vehicle and caught his gun "a single
barrel one) by the muzzle and drew it
toward him, when the piece exploded, the
whole load entering his body just below
the heart. He exclaimed "Oh, my God!"
and fell lifeless corpse. A messenger
was sent to Newark for suitable wagon
in which to convey the remains home
Mr.. O'Rourick was about As years of age,
and resided on Iron Hill. He leaves wife
and six children to mourn his untimely
death. He had been in the employ of the
Messrs. Blandy for about 1S years, and was
very we'll thought of by them. This is
another sad warning to those using fire.
arms carelessly.
Chicken Cholera.-This disease still sur
wives, and is doing great damage among
the poultry. One Of our neighbors has lost
800 head of chickens; another, $780, and SO
on till there is hardly farm-yard in the
District that has not lost more or less.
Sabbath Schools. District has sew
eral very fourishing Sabbath-schools in it,
among which we may number the jackson
Union, held in the hall of the Jackson

scholars attending the school. They pur-
pose holding their annual pic. mic next Fri
day, in the grove adjoining the school
The public are invited.
Agriculturaz.- farmers are busily
engaged in sowing their wheat and cutting
corn. There is not so much wheat being
sown in our neighborhood as usual, on
account of it not having done very well for
the last two or three years. The corn, gen.
orally, has done we'll this season, and will
be the only full crop that we will have.
A Wild Steer.-Some two months since,
Mr.. VIM. Beeson, butcher, in Newark,
DEL, purchased a pair of wild Texan steers,
in Philadelphia, and brought them home to
slaughter. One of them managed to make
his escape to large clearing belonging to
Thomas Morrison, in this District, where
he has baffled all attempts to capture him
since. He is described as q steer that will
weigh 800 Tbs, stands very high before and
low behind; his horns are said to be four
feet long.
Weather.-The mornings and evenings
have been quite cool Of late-thermometer
down as low as As degrees. On Thursday
and Friday mornings there were heavy
frosts.
Contract Auarded. contract for the
repairing Of Rock Presbyterian Church

The development of the resources of
the country has never been so great asdur-
ing the years since the end of the war. 1t
has beeNat least tenfold greater under the
olicy of Republican administration than it
W IS during the palmiest days of Democ-
racy. This fact, patent to the most super
ficial observer, speaks volumes for the Re-
publ ican policy and proves it's adaptation
to the peculiar circumstances of our coun-
try. It is not so much a Republican as an
American policy, and this is the secret of
its succesr. On the other side, the policy
of tho Democracy partakes much of foreign
elements and has more or less of reference
to the interests of foreign capitalists and
manufacturers. This is why the develop
ment of our country has always been SO
slow under tho Democratic policy. The
adoption Of this policy at the present time
would be most unfortunate ovement.
1t would retard the development of the
country most seriously. 1t would benefit
England, but greatly injure us.-Press.

of the Circuit Court commenced on Mon
day last, Associate Judges Wickes and
Stump on the bench; Judge Robinson
arriving afterwards.
The cases up to Friday morning were:
John 5. Maffitt Us. James Barber, tenant,

plea was that the contract required the rent
to be paid in produce. Verdict for defend
ant. This case lasted two days. Constable
for plaintiff; Jones for defendant.
James Nivell ps John Kirk. Action for
slander. Case still pending when our report
closed. Constable and w. S. Evans for

RemOved.-We expect to issue the next
number of The Whig from the new Office
erected on the opposite side of the street,
and few doors higher up than our present
location. The new brick building erected
for the purposes of a printing Office and
editorial rooms, is roomy and commodious,
where our friends will find vacant chair
when they call, which we can't claim in
our present contracted quarters. We
expect many to make US a friendly call in
our new sanctum, and desire great many
more to make business calls and discuss
some balances which have not been salts
factorily arranged. The sign will be seen
on the corner (when we get it up) in I" black

sanctum. Short calls, albeit, are a Ia mode
in the best society, and one, "they say"
might as we'll be out of the world as out of

school had their Fall celebration, on Thurs
day, 14th- inst. The children, led by the
Rising Sun Band, marched through the
town and out to Haines' grove, where every
preparation had been made for the occa-
sion. The stand was splendidly trimmed
with flowers. The table groaned under
the ponderous weight Of the luxuries of
the season, and the scholars, with all the
kindness of youthful hearts, did their very
best to relieve its groans. Revs. Weston,
Martindale and Kirk, and c. w. Wilson
made appropriate and interesting addresses.
Remooal.-On Wednesday evening last,
the Office of the Rising Sun was removed
to Port Deposit. Alb this paper there
has been considerable mystery. 1t burst
forth upon us in the, early Spring, like a
new fower,-unexpe cted, unannounced;
flourished through the warm season, and
with the first rude blast of autumn, has
taken its fight to SUMMER climes. May
success attend it's wan6erings.
Frost-The first of the season was seen
on the 21st inst. The weather for several
days has been very cold.
Nominations.-The Republicans all ex-
press themselves pleased with the candi-
dates, and express determination to push
things. The Democrats are quite lively
looking after the next week nominations.

CIScISSASI, July 20.-About three

lied here known as the Kentucky and

ton, Of New-York, as president, A. j.
Hodges, vice president, and, besides these,
as directors Gen. Fremont and Gen.
Banks, Of Mass, Judge Gutter, Of Marietta,
j. NJ. Duke, Of Msysville, and James T.
Brady, Of Pttsburg. This was ostensibly
10 construct u railroad fnom Cincinnati to
Catlcttsburg, Ky, under the charter
granted by the Kentucky legislature last
year. This then did not attract much at
tention. 1t now appears that il was but
a small part Of the purpose. That the
real plan was 10 build another rail- Dad to
Ncw-York city. through Kentucky and
across West Virginia to Point Of Rocks,
Va, thence by the road now constructing
through York and Reading Penn, to the
eastern terminus. 1t Is stated that the
company has purchased the franchise and
property of the Maysville ard Big Sandy
railroad which is to become part of the
line.
Those interested claim this will be by
measurement l2l miles shorter route from
Cincinnati to New-York, than by the
Pennsylvania Central.
