The week of prayer has been observed

Thursday night.
Slippery misunderstanding. 1t has been
INDUCED in extensively the past week, by
both sexes, and whilst there have been a
few cracked craniums, we would not like
to say how many hearts have been smashed.
Sad Aff1ictiOD.-A few weeks since, we
noticed the serious accident that occurred
to Harry, little son of Mr.. J. P. Cantwell,
of this town, and of his doubtful recovery
Upon the receipt of this sad intelligence,
Mr.. Cantwell started for Indiana, leaving
his family WELL and little dreaming that
the Death angel would visit his home dur
ing his absence. Upon arriving at New
Harmony, he found his child, whom he
feared would be dead, much better. He
waited week, hoping his son would be
able to accompany him home, but the
patient had not so far recovered as to admit
of his so doing.
On Thursday afternoon last, Matthew
T., young man about % years of age,
and son of Mr.. Cantwell, while walking
on the pavement just below the Howard
House, slipped and fell Oil the ice, njuring
himself fatally. He had previously been
suffering with the rheumatism, and was
unable, at the time, to walk erect, and in
trying to avert the fall, SO cxertcd himself
as to cause an internal rupture and bleed
ing, which resulted in death, about ~
O'Clock on Saturday night.
AS if this were not enough, Arthur, a
younger brother, who has also been afflicted
with the rheumatism, slipped and fell on
hard floor, hurting his knee so badly, that
between this affection and the other, his
life was despaired of for time but he is
now improving.
The bereaved father arrived home on
Tuesday morning last, entirely ignorant of
the distressing calamity which had befallen
his family while he was absent, having left
Indiana before receiving the despatch con-
veying the sad intelligence.
This is one of the saddest events we have
had to chronicle, and Mr.. Cantwell and
family have the sympathy of the commu-
nifty, i'll this dark dispensation of Provi-
deucc.

BY the new tariff, which went into
effect on the list of January, many changes
are made in the revenue, among the most
important of which are the following -
Teas, from 25 to Is cents coffee, from 5
to 3 cents; new sugar, from 81 to cents i;
sugar above No. z, from 4 to cents ;
refined sugar, from 5 to cents; cane molas-
ses, from to cents; brandy, from So to
g.; liquors, from $3.50 to s. per proof
gallon; wool, from 80 per cent. to II and
and 10 cents; steel railway bars, from "a
and 10 per cent. to II cents pig iron, from
50 to 81; cast and wrought scrap are each
increased 81 per ton. Fifty-two articles,
mostly drugs, are placed on the free list :;
and the tariff upon forty reduced.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
authorized the Assistant Treasurer at New
York to sell million of coin on each
Thursday of the present month, and to
purchase two millions of bonds ON the first
and third Wednesdays, and one million on
the second and fourth Wednesdays, max
ing total sale of four millions Of coin and
purchase of six millions of bonds during
the present month. This is tho way to
keep the mill going and checkmate gold
panics.
Col. VIM. Chestnut, 4 well-known and
much esteemed Wholesale grocery merchant
in Baltimore, died, at an early hour, on
Tuesday last, in the Goth year of his age.
The deceased was well known throughout
Maryland and the adjoining States as an
honorable and successful merchant, who
had for long period been identified with
the commercial prosperity of the city.
king William gave new years recep-
tion to the officers of the German army, in
his palace at Versailles, in honor of the
opening of the new year. He made a
speech, in which he recounted the recent
events of the war, praised the patriotism
of his soldiers, and closed by asserting
that no peace would be acceptable, unless
it be lasting one.
1T is expected that the Internal Reve-
nue. Districts now established throughout
the country will very soon be consolidated
and greatly reduced in number. The Pres
ident has power under the law to change
the Districts. AS most Of the internal
taxes hitherto imposed have been removed
by the act of Congress, there is no need of
so many assessing and collecting officers.
The Republican board of State can
vassers of Florida have thrown out eight
democratic counties, and thereby declared
elected the Republican Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and Josiah Welles, colsrcd, Repre-
sentative to Congress. This course COM
pletely reverses the copperhead victory of
November.
The public debt statement shows a
reduction during the month of December
of 1920, 700.95. The coin balance is
$107, 500, $50, including in coin certificates
