Sad Accident.

We are called upon to
relate one of the mast terrible
accidents it has been our duty
to record iSc . loag while as
happening in our county, and
which occurred on the evening
Of the Goth inst. at Marion.
That evening DR.. A. Q. Hutch
insoa went 10 the store of Mr..
Smith in that village to pro-
cure a little vinegar. Mr..
Smith went into his back room
ard got what he supposed was
the jug containing vinegar, bat
which, as the sequel showed,
was used by the former pro,
prictor, of whom he had lately
bought, 10 keep powder in. He
shook it and hearing arattle
concluded The vinegar must
be frozen, aud, accompanied
by the Doctor, went up stairs
where he and family lived and
was proceeding to heat the jug
at the fire. The Doctor was
probably somewhat impatient
and SAID that TO put the poker
in it would thaW enough for
flis purpose No sooner said
than done, and of course a ter
rife explosion followed which
severely burned 6oth the gen
tlenan and Mrs. Smith, who
was by, and injuring Mrs.
Saith's six months old child so
that it died In about three hours.
Mr.. Smith was injured about
the face and had his hands
burned dorribly trying to ex-
linguish his wiie's clothing,
which was set on fire and burn
ed almost entirely from her
body A piece o4 the jug was
blown into the clild's skull and
split it for some distance. DR.
Hutchinson was assisted to hi:
house and MIR. and Mrs. Smith
were taken to Wilson's hotel
Drs. Shattuck aad Stewart at
tended on the unfortunate suf
ferers. The gable end of the
house was parted from the side
of the house some four to sil
inches, the mantels upstairs
blown off their fastening, while
down stairs q maRtel and the
baseboards were, singalarly
enough, torn off. The house
caught on fire, but assistance
was immediately at hand ant
the fire was extingushed with
out aay serious damage being
done. Curieus to eelate, o little

ltoS. ASpaEw STEw1Rf, who
was a5Xembenof4 4AlOngress fiyy
years ago, has ,-written .. letter
TO Hon. Vim; Ds Kelley, from
which We make The following
interesting exlTacE hrc -
USIOSTowS, PErsa Bes. IL, 1874.
"DRAK SIR: Last winter the
free traders succeeded in reduc
ing the duty on pig iron from
nine dollars to seven dollars
per ton, and I see that they
now prOp'e to reduce it to Eve
dollars. This reduction OF two
dollars was made to reduce the
price In accordance with their
theory that "the duty is always
added to the price and paid by
the consumer" while, on the
other hand, you contended thot
the effect would be to break
down our weak establishments,
check the strong, discourage
investments, destroy competi>
tion, and of course diminish
supply, and thereby increase
the price. Such were the ar
guments; now for the facts and
results.
Let these Tree traders look
at the price current of pig iron
when they reduced the duty |
about ayear ago, and at the
price current now, and they
will find that instead Of reduc.
iug the price OF pig iron two
dollars a ton it has incresed It
on an average nearly six dol
lars, say five dollars per ton
Then let them look at the Off
Cial reports, British and
American, and they will find
that we have imported, since
the reduction OF the duty,
about two hundred thousand
tons of pig metal, which, at an
increase of FIVE dollars a ton,
will make a clear gain to for
eign importers of $l,O00,OOO
and an equivalent loss to
American consumers, besides
the millions lost by breaking
down American competition
and supply.
But this is not all. The
Treasury has, by this act, lost
two dollars ton on two hun
dred thousand tons OF pig iron,
amounting to 100000 in gold
revenue, which our own people
must now pay to supply this
loss. Such are the fruits Of
"re Eeaue reform" Other causes
may have contributed 10 these
results, bat this can not impair !
the truth or destroy the intlu-
ence,of the facts stated.
With these 0ndeniable facts,
proved by records, staring
them in the face, these reve>
nue. reformers now propose to
repeat the experiment by
which they have robbed Amer
ican consumers Of 81, 100000,
and the Treasury Of $780, 1000
more to favor foreigners. ~a'
Now, had they reversed this
action, had they added two dol
lars a ton instead of taking it
of, thereby stimulating pro-
duction and encouring invest
ments at home, developing our
own resources, giving employ
msnt to our own laber, and
markets and money to our own
farmers instead of foreigners,
how many millions would it
have saved, and how many
would it have added to our
national wealth and resources.
