Fatal Accident.
A LITTLE DoY KILLED.

Yesterday afternoon while number of boys
were playing with turn table at the York
River railroad depot, one of them, lad about
thirteen years of age, named William Holmes,
in attempting to jump off was caught between
the table and the edge of the pit by the small
of the back. He arose and walked off some
distlnce, when he fell and called to his com
panions for assistance. Policeman Shields
came along and had him carried home on
Tweuty-third street, where he almost i'm.
medistely after died Upon examination 1t
was found that no bones were broken, and
death must have been caused by the rupture
of some large internal blood vessel.

Small Pox.

Without any desire to cause unnecessary alarm,
it may be well for US to mention that according
to late Oregon papers, the mail pox was raging
among the Indians of that State, schools had
been closed in Salem, and from the town of Scio
it was reported that a member of the late Legs
lature was down with the disease. A Board of
Health was appointed, and the town put under
quarantine at once, and the schools dismissed
sine die. The disease was introduced by Indians
who had been across the mountains to hunt for
buffalo, and there contracted it. From our fire.
queut communication with the ports of Oregon
and Washington Territory, it behooves our au-
liberties to use every precaution against the in
PRODUCTION of this disease. Energetic measures
should be used at once, to cause every child to be
vaccinated throughout the islands. There is a
law on the subject of vaccination, but it has. of
late become almost if not quite u dead letter. 1t
will be found at PIP. 156, l57 and l58 of the
Revised Penal Code. Section 80 provides that
the Minister of the Interior shall appoint a suita-
bic person to be vaccinating officer in each of the
gubernatorial divisions of the kingdom, etc. The
other imperative sections relative to the subject
are as follows
SO. Each vaccinating officer shall appoint at least
three convenient places in each school district
throughout his division for the performance of vacci-
nation; and, from time to time, give public notice of
the time when he will attend at such places to vacci-
nate all persons not successfully vaccinated who may
then and there appear; and also of the time when he
viii! attend at such place. to inspect the progress of
such vaccination in the person SO vaccinated.
"a. The father or mother of every child shall,
within six months after the birth of such child, or
fard Sas ss fhatS Sf the 9sae asas as RaR z 2 er h nbssnoe Of. the
son having charge Of such child, shall, within six
months after its birth, or at the earliest opportunity
after, take such child to the vaccinating officer, for
the purpose of being vaccinated.

The "~VanderbiIt."

Com. Vanderbilt wants his ship back again
from the o.. S. Government. The history of the
transaction is this. When the rebel iron-clad Mer-
rimac made her appearance in Hampton roads,
during the g late unpleasantness, - the Commo-
dore declared that the Vanderbilt, with a full head
of steam on, could sink her. His plan was
accepted, and he accordingly gave the War De-
partment a bill of sale of the steamer for 81.
Before the Commodore could carry out his de-
~structiYe though patriotic purpose, the Monitor,
50 the Yankee cheese-box on a raft, - made her
appearance one fine morning and put the Merri-
mac hors de combat, depriving the Commodore of
the coveted opportunity to distinguish himself.
When the war was over, the Commodore natu-
rally expected that the little bill of sale before
mentioned would be cancelled, and the vessel re-
tsrned to its real owner. But, though the Com
modone was ready and anxious to pay back the
consideration amounting, as aforesaid, to one
dollar, and receive his vessel, which cost him
SI,2OO,OOO, tn. Vanderbilt was not returned.
she was sent to Maze Island, where she now lies
rottlng high and dry. The Commodore hos ~
Gently been to Washington and gave the Depart
ment some {" plain talk" on the subject. He
held that it was an instance of unheard-nf mean
ingratitude-the buying of 81 200 900 worth of
steamer for 81, on the implied understanding
that the sale should be for a limited period only,
and then when the time was up and all had been
got out of the vessel that could be, refusing
either to thank the owner for his generosity and
love of country, or to return him his property.

once defeated in the Senate, would be more likely
to command assent. The firm belief is stated,
that the moment it is known that the United
States have entirely abandoned the project OF ac-
cepting, as a part of its territory, the Island OF
San Domingo, a free port will be negotiated tor
by European nations in the Bay Of SANTANA. A
large commercial city will spring up to which the
United States will be tributary, without receiv-
ING corresponding benefits, "by the more Than
foHv of our rejection." In view of the import
ance of this question, the President earnestly
urges upon Congress early action and an express
sion of it's views as to the best means of acquiring
San Domingo.
The northeastern fishery question, and that OF
the free navigation of the st. Lawrence, are sue
cinctly stated, and a determination is expressed
to resist the pretentions of the Government of the
Dominion of Canada.
Suggestions are made for the revival of Ameri-
can commerce, and particularly for the encour-
agement of the Pacific traffic. He urges the ne
cessity of keeping the navy in a more efficient
and formidable condition. .
For the first time in the history of the United
States the Chief Executive strongly recommends
that the greater number of offices should be
filled solely according to capacity and fitness, and
held by a tenure independent of party fluctuations.
A policy, the reverse of this, has been a standing
reproach on the American Government and people.
The concluding paragraph of the message thus
states in brief in what the policy of the Presidents
administration consists:
ga thorough enforcement of every law a faithful
collection of taxes provided for economy in the dis
bursement of the same n prompt payment OF the
debt of the Nation a reduction of taxes as rapidly
as the requirements of the country will admit re-
duction of taxation and a tariff to be so arranged as
to afford the greatest good to the greatest number !;
honest and fair dealings with all other people, to the
end that war, with all its ~blighting consequences,
may be avoided, but without surrendering any right
or obligation due to US a reform in the treatment of
the Indians and in the whole civil service of the
country and, finally, in securing a sure, untram-
melted ballot, when every man entitled to cast a
vote, may do so just once at each election, without
fear of molestation or prescription on account of his
political faith, nativity, or color"

Reet-Root 9

The production of beet-root sugar has been
almost entirely destroyed in Europe. The pro-
duction in France and Germany had been steadily
increasing during the past ten years, and for
three wears before the war the annual imports of
this article into England amounted to an average
of 81 ,000 tons. The war, however, has put an
end to the business, for while France is oyerrun
and desolated by armies. the soldiers who COM
pose those armies are withdrawn froE4 the active
industries of Germany.
The Department du Nord, one of the richest
beet-producing regions of France, in which the
German armies are now operating, has suffered
severely. A letter from q resident there, re-
Gently published, thus describes the effect of the
war upon the sugar industry:
"What is the result to US? Why, ruin. In my
payS no less than twenty-five beet-root mills were to
have been set in motion this year. They are built
they are ready, but we have no workmen, and no
Goals. The young men who were exonorated, and
who bad drawn good numbers-who had, in short,
settled to industrious lives, thinking that the State
had no further military claims upon them-are
drifted off absolutely like les mLutons de monsieur ("
The English journals are congratulating them
selves that the present scarcity of b~eet-root sugar
will be the means of introducing its production
into that country, for which they claim that it
is even better suited, in very many respects,
than France. So far, however, it is but an ex-
pertinent in its infancy, and years must elapse
before the production will be such as to sensibly
affect the market for sugar.
In view of this prospect prices are advancing,
and as the proportion of beet-root sugar in the
worlds consumption is a very large per centage
of the entire aggregate, it is quite certain that
for some time to come high prices in all kinds of
sugars will rule. The Instruction in Cuba, to-
gether with the recent terrific hurricane which
did serious injury to the cane-growing districts !;
the small crop reported in Louisiana the failure
of the crop in Mauritius and the Isle of Bour-
bon the low stocks in California all these
facts are calculated to enhance the price Of sugar
in the markets of the world.

San Dfego'

The town of San Diego, the southernmost port
of California, had, over a year ago, experienced
considerable of an excitement in land specula-
ton, resulting from discoveries of gold in the
neighborhood. After a while, this died awav.
but just now the prospects of the town seem
brighter than ever. It's future depends on the
construction of a railroad across the continent on
the 37th parallel. The Southern Trans-Cont;-
mental Company holds the franchise. John G.
Fremont was its president, but he was considered
as an incubus, and has been got rid of, his place
being filled by Marshal o. Roberts, a capitalist
and a man IF experience and high reputation.
The company goes before Congress the present
session for the Tight of way and for a grant of
$4,000 acres or more per mile from the western
line of Te1as$san Diego. The delegation from

The Presidents Message.

The annual message of President Grant, at the
opening of Congress, on thH 5th of last month,
while lengthy for a man Of SO few words is
nevertheless none too long in view of the impor-
tant subjects of which it treats. 1t is a very
plainly written document, direct and practical,
with no attempt at { fine writing Its extreme
length precludes the possibility of our finding
space in these columns for more than a ummary
Clear view of the c-Edition of public affairs
is given, the message opening with ~congratula-
lions upon the general prosperity of the nation
and the complete restoration Of the Union. with

Foreign relations are reviewed at length. Pro-
lection to foreigners in Paris had been given by
the American Minister, under instructions from
the President, and the government of North
Germany had expressed its satisfaction at that
actibn. The American Goyerl4nent had Besn
asked by the new Government of France 70 ,so
its good Offices jointly with those of the E.rroneon
powers 1.-THE interest of peace. An answer was
made that the established policy and true inter
ests of the United States forbade them To inter-
fere in European questions, jointly with European
powers. Thin subject is left with the concluding
remark that "shOuld the time come when the
action of the United States can hasten the return
Of peace by a single hour, that action will be
heartily taken.e

BASKET Meeting The basket
meeting of the season was held at
State line, last Sunday, under the
auspices Of the Christian denomi-
nation. Special trains were run
from Dublin, Cambridge, Richmond
and New Paris, taking an immense
concourse of people, which was
largely augmented by residents Of
the neighboriiood. At Ii o'clock,
Rev. Mr.. Thompson, of Cambridge
preached an earnest, eloquent SER
mon, which was we'll received by
the large congregation. At the
close of the sermon an tntermis-
sion of an hour was announced for
dinner--and there was dinner for
all, comprising all the substantials
and delicacies in such profusion
that when all had expressed them
selves satisfied, there was enough
left to feed regiment. Shortly
after dinner there were indications
Of heavy storm, and when in
few minutes later the rain COM
menced falling, there was hasty
packing Of baskets, and stampede
for the train, which was fortunate
ly standing on the track. The
threatening aspect of the weather
made it necessary to adjourn the
meeting indefinitely.
