melancholy Death.-The Rev

Stearns Patterson, a retired clergyman OF
the Methodist Episcopal Denomination, and
who has resided near this borough, for sever
al years past, was kicked by horse, and IN
stantly killed, on Friday evening last. Owing
to i'll health, the Reverend Gentleman re-
tired from the active duties ofhis profession,
and several years ago purchased and settled
upon a small farm about two miles from
town. As much as was possible in his feeble
condition, he gave his attention to farming,
and on the evening of the accident was pre-
sent in the field where one of his SONS was
plowing The young man being hungry and
thirsty requested his father to see to the
team while he went into the house to procure
a drink of water and something to eat. He
had not been gone ten minutes, ere he re-
turned and found his father lying across the
plow beam, gasping his last. From the
marks in his temple it was plain that his
death resulted from kick from one of the
horses. The sudden death of Mr.. Patterson,
and the manner of it, caused a gloom to set
tie over our whole community. Man could
not possibly be more honorable, upright and
christian, in his conduct and character than
he and no one, in the short time of his
soioum among US could so certainly and firmly
have secured place in the respect and con-
iidence of our people. His death is lamen-
ted by our whole community.

Yesterdays dispatches from Europe
inform us that the great struggle of the
French factions for possession of the
government is about ended. The Versail-
list forces entered Paris at four o'clock
on Sunday afternoon. The Communists
abandoned their forts and retreated to the
interior of the city. Great disorder and
panic prevailed, and the Communist bub-
BILE has evidently exploded. In a few
days the Versaillist or Theirs government
will be generally recognized, and then
will come the final settlement with the
conquering Germans.

Senator Buckalew's bill establishing
the principle of cumulative voting in the
election of borough officers has passed
both branches of the Legislature, and will
60 in force at the next election Under
its operation electors will be able to con
centrate their votes upon favorite candi-
dates, if they please. Thus if five council
men are to be chosen, one vote may be cast
for each of them, as at present, or five
may be given for single candidate The
law, We believe, applies only to boroughs
incorporated according to the general act
of the Legislature on the subject, and
those holding special charters are not
subject to its operation.

THERE'S ROOM AT THE TOP.
BY CHARLES HERMAN.

They say the professions are crowded
BY seekers for fame and for bread;
That the members are pushing each other
As close as their footsteps can tread.
But be not discouraged my brother,
Nor suffer exertion to stop,
Though thousands are pressing around you,
There is plenty of room at the top.
BE. trus to thy love and thy country
The bastard wins never prize;
But the earnest are ever the victors,
And he who on justice relies. -.a.-.
Who wins the good guerdon by labor,
VIII garner sweet rest as his crop,
And find, as the hills sink below him,
That there's room enough at the top.
Oh let not the evil disturb you,
There's good if you but search it out:
Make pure thine own conscience, my brother,
Nor mind what the rest are about.
And whether your work may have fallen
In sanctum, or office, or shop,
Remember the low grounds are crowded,
But there's always room at the top.

A PROPHECY IN CHARLEsroN.-The

Mr.. Vallandigham, contributes the fol-

contest between Douglas and Brecken.
ridge, as to the character and rights OF
slavery In the Territories, was the pre-
cursor Of the civil war. On one occa-
sion, in this city, Representative Lo-
gan, Of Illinois, Larrabee, Of Wiscon-
sin, and others being present, the con-
v~ersation naturally turned upon the
threatening attitude Of the questions
then before the Convention. Mr.. Val
landigham rose at the dinner. table
with an air of great gravity, and said /:
"Gentlemen, II the Democratic party
Is dissolved In this Charleston Conven-
ton, the result will be the disruption
Of the Union, and one Of the bloodlest
civil wars on record. and the magni-
tude Of which no one can estimate.
In the unity Of the Democratic party,
and In the Union. lies the hope OF The
South and Of Republican Govern
ment." We think It was Mr.. Logan
who replied "Sit down, Vallandig-
ham, and drink your wine. You are
always prophesying." His reply was,
"Gentlemen, | speak earnestly, be-
cause I feel deeply impressed with tho
truth Of what I have uttered" This
was in the Spring Of 1880. The seces-
sion of South Carolina took place In
December Of the same year.
