bSE~ Col. John Ashton, of Georgia, a
strong Democrat, abandoned his opposition to
Greeley in manly manner. He says:
'tIn concluding to vote for Greeley, am
SO influenced by feeling of affection for first
associations. My friends, who are honest
brave and patriotic, have almost ANONYMOUSLY
determined to support him; and however
widely | might differ with them, should
think it more probable that one, than million
men, should be mistaken. But ,ohethcr right
oy 'orong, ever sentiment and sympathy of
my nature bind me to them in the present
struggle. Anything to heath Grant, !" then,
except a voluntary race for the Legislature.
Ii my friends are anxious to assist me. let
them send me to Congress, or help me to
n1ake a fortune at home"

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A YOUNG BRIDAL
CoUpLE-We learned of fatal accident that
occurred at the Hawks Nest last week, and
which resulted in the death of young couple
named Anron, who were on their bridal tour
from the East. They had come to view the
beauties of this lovely place, aud on going too
near the edge of the cliff, they both lost their
footing and were precpitated below, killing
them instantly.
On coming to their assistance their bodies
and faces were mangled so fearfuly as to be
unrecognizabe. The lady fell on her head
MASKING it into atoms, breaking her breast
into jelly. The gentleman's brains were
knocked .1 out and his body broken to pieces.
Their friends have been telegraphed for, who
are supposed to be at Buffalo, N. Y.

BURNED TO DEATH. Last Saturday morn
ing, Mrs Benjamin Keiholtz, residing near
diminishing, met with an accident which re-
suited in her death. 1t seems she was maxi
ing fire in the cook stove, preparatory to get>
ting breakfast, but the wood being damn it
would not burn as rapidly as she desired, and
in order to hasten it, she poured coal oil on
the wood, when the oil in the can ignited
which caused an explosion, the oil flying ali
over the unfortunate lady. Her screams
brought assistance, but not in time to rescue
her from the devouring clement. She was
most terribly burned from the effects of
which, after suffering great pain, she died in
about six hours. This is another sad warning
to those who persist in the use of coal oil in
kindling fires. Frederick Examiner.

DO not let diseases tasten on the stronsholds
OF life before you do something for it. We
speak more particularly of those chronic NAL
aides which cling to US for years with untold
misery, not bad enough to make US bed sick,

these lingering ailments are those of the lungs

been made to believe there is no cure. Do
not believe it, but try. Try Dr. KEYsEus

The WEEKLY PArERs,-A weekly family
paper has great advantage for advertisers over
daily paper. 1t generally lies on the table,
ready to be perused by one and another for
days, and often weeks at time. Each COPY
Is also read by greater number of persons,
often being loaned from family to family
Besides, the number Of advertisements being
limited. and generally of an interesting char
acter, the chances of each one being read are
much greater than in daily. A weekly also
reaches all classes in all sections of the Union,
who can scarcely be reached in any other
way, as they do not take other papers. These
facts will be evident to all those who reflect
upon the subject.
