THE IMPORTANCE OF VoTING.-The
election at Haverhill, Mass, had its hui
morous aspects, and its result not only
teaches the inhabitants of that inland
citya valuable lesson, but points moral
which ought not to be thrown away upon
other localities. The Republicans are
largely in the majority, and SO great was
the confidence felt in that fact that six
hundred of them made the fatal mistake
Of thinking their votes We're of no conse-
quence-the town would go Republican
any way-and they staid away from the
polls. Their opponents however, went
into the campaign with a will, and got
out every vote, actually carrying the lit
tie city for young Mr.. Adams, their can
didate for Governor, by $50 majority,
electing also Democratic State Senator
and three Representatives of like kid
ney. The discomfitted Republicans eye
each other queerly now when they meet
on the streets, and feel foolish enough.

SRVERE WEATHER IN THE SOUTH.
EsT.-We have reports of very severe
weather in the South West, last week ac-
companied by the loss of life. In Mon
tana Fort Shaw dispatch says that two
companies Of the fifth infsntry were
caught out in snow storm and many of
the men were badly frozen, principally
their feet. The thermometer was 30 de-
grees below zero. At Lawrence, Kansas
it is reported that the storm and cold
ragged with unprecedented severity on the
plains, In Western Kansas large num-
bers of Texas cattle and several herds
men were frozen to death. Five bodies,
supposed to be those of buffalo hunters,
were brought into City frozen stiff Great
anxiety is felt for other parties hunting
bulialoes. They have not been heard
from since the storm.

Mr.. Editor; When wrote the reply to McCol

take any further notice ofeither OF those worthless
or anything they might say or write, but the last
dash of Eastman, is of such a character and con.
tains insinuations which cannot permit to 90 by
unanswered.
The statement that McCollom asked me for
mail, l again pronounce 10 be an unmitigated
falsehood. The insinuation that | might have
lost my right arm from n shot in the rear, is cruel
as il false, and the man that would in newspa-
per article, be guilty of making such an attack
upon disabled soldier, can be nothing but cow
ard and poiroon. l close with the simple re-
mark and inquiry, ! was wounded three times in
the late war, and always facing the enemy -
Where was Eastman lie may have been in the

all to my letter does not reflect much credit up
on him as gentleman or a soldier il such he
may have been,
As MCCollom has "taken water and is now
out Of the controversy, as far rs am personally
concerned, hope he won't get Eastman to make
fool Of himself, by another letter through your
columns.
Mr. Editor, feel that it i due to yon, that |
should apologize for again intrudng upon your
time and space, After reading Eastmans last |
felt like letting him know that was not render
ed entirely helpless by his childish attacks. and

THE PERSIAN FAMINE.-The latest
news from the East is neither encourage
ing nor hopeful. The famine still con-
tinues its ravages, and the most heart
rendipg stories are told of the sufferings
of the people in Persia. During the
month of August the miseries of the in
habitants of Yezd have increased rather
than abated, owing to want of employ
ment and the lack of means to obtain
the necessary wants of life. The peculiar
geographical position of Persia renders it
an easy prey to calamities like that which
is now desolating the country. Short
yield and decreased crops are always sure
to be felt by the inhabitants, and when,
like the present, terrible visitation falls
upon them, and they are in no adequate
nanper prepared for it, terrible misery
is sure to result IN consequence.

HERoIsM OF A RAILROAD CONDUCTOR.
"A conductor on freight and passen-
ger train on the Syracuse d Binghamp-
ton Railroad performed daring feat
few days since, by which fearful catas-
tyophe was averted. A correspondent
at Chenango Forks, n. Y, furnishes
the following particulars
"The train, consisting of twenty-four
stock cars and one passenger car, which
was filed with passengers, was between
this station and Whitney's Point, going
at tolerable high rate of speed, when
the engineer, William Hardy, discover
ed rail entirely out o. the track, some
distance ahead. He Immediately revers-
ed his locomotive, but upon second
thought, determind to attempt running
the train over the place where the rail
was missing, and at once turned on
full head of steam. The engineer and
fireman, however, did not remain to see
what success the experiment would meet
with, but jumped off the engine, leaving
it without any one to control it. The
train bounded over the disconnected
track at fearful rate of speed, every
car retaining its position on the track
The dangerous spot was passed, but, with
no one upon the locomotive to control its
speed, most terrible fate awaited the
train somewhere. The state of affairs
became known to the passengers, and a
panic was at once raised. At Whitney
Point there was every probability that
the track would not be in readiness fol
the train, as at the rate it was going il
would reach there some minutes before
its time. In this extremity, Conductor
John Vrooman proved himself to be {
hero. He was in the passenger car a
the rear of the train, but clambering NJ
the ladder Of the freight car next in ad
vance, he ran the whole length of tn
runaway train on the tops of the cars
and was soon in the locomotive cab
seized the throttle, and in the next mo
ment had the train uner control. A les
heroic man in charge of the train, ant
it is impossible to tell what the result 0
} the extraordinary runaway might hav
