The CHARACTER Of the Land Grant OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as whole is
readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted with the
different Grants tobc SUPERIOR TO THAT
OF ANY OTHER ROAD; but even if the
average price per OF its land sales should not he
above the lowest average ofa the land grants which

figure for the 25OOO held to redeem each $4,000

road bonds-the Northern Pacific seven-Thrtiss are
favorites for reinyestment.'
The Chicago disaster fully demonstrated that First
Mortgage Bond on any Trunk Line of railroad is the
safest and least huctuating security known. This is
manifest quite marked instance, as seen in the
hucuation Of First Mortgage Bonds of the Michigan
Central Railroad which fell but per cent in the late
financial panic while U. S. Fiverwenties and Skies Of
1881 Auctuaed two to three per cent. and here the

ACCIDENT AT FREDERICK COUNTY
Poor HousE.-On last Friday sad &C
cident occurred at the Poor House, re-
sulting in the death of an old man
named Isaiah Waitkneight an inmate of
that institution since March, 1870. 1t
appears that he was engaged in repair
ing the fire wall in the blacksmith shop,
in which he was about TO place IL
pound bomb shell to protect the wall.
Mr.. Canter. the keeper of the House,
happened to enter the shop at the time,
and demonstrated with him, saying that
it was dangerous venture. The old
man assured him that he had extracted
all the powder, and that there was no
danger. He then placed the shell on
the anvil and Mr. Canter again caution
ed him to be careful, and passed from
the shop. 1t is supposed that Wait
kneight applied lighted match to test
the presence ofpowder, when the shell
exploded. When Mr. {. entered the
building, after hearing the explosion, he
found the old man dead, one piece Of the
shell having passed through his heart,
and his right leg torn half of, besides
other frightful wounds about his person.
He was about % years Of age.-Un-
