Ty- The city Of Baltimore having no.
titled the Baltimore and Ohio Company
that they will not be permitted to run
their cars through the city beyond a ccr-
tain period, flats are being constructed
upon which to transport them from Lo-
Gust Point across an arm of the bay in
front of the city. The distance is short.
and it is thought will not involve any
greater delay than the present system Of
pulling the cars through the city by
horse power.
1t is stated that an agreement has
been entered into between the Philadcl-
lphia, Wilmington and Baltimore and
the Baltimore and Ohio roads, by which
the former agrees to permit the latter to
Juse its road for period of years. and
lby which its passenger cars from Wash

road and thus avoid transhipmcnt. =

with the Baltimore and Ohio for long
time, for possession Of the above named

Through the kindness Of our County
Auditor we are enabled to lay before
our readers the particulars Of most
heartrending calamity at the Locust
Grove Coal mines, at Newburg, on last
Monday evening, by which two BROTH
ers, Peter George and Matthias George
lost their lives.
AS will be remembered the buildings
|Of the Coal Mines about and immedi-
'ately over the coal-shaft was destroyed
by fire OH the Fourth of July, the debris
OF which fell into the excavation setting
the wall on fire which gave way and
filled it up some rs feet. The shaft 10
about 100 feet deep, and is divided into
two compartments. In cleaning out this
shaft considerable force has been at
work, among them the above named
brothers. On the day of the casualty,
the man who had been at work in one
Of the shafts, complained that he could
not stand to remain in the pit longer;
whereupon Peter George went down
and continued the work. The principal
Ipart of the dirt having been taken out
the workman came to the debris of the
fire that had fallen in before the walls
fell fastened chain, which was used for
hauling out the timber, to board, which
upon being drawn out made an cxcava-
|tion which allowed the damp or foul air
to suddenly escape from the bottom Of
the pit.
So sudden was this that the man could
|give no alarm or signal, but was Obser-
we'd by Mr.. Otto Bierbrod, who was AT
work on the other side of the partition
in the shaft, but through which hole
had been cut for purpose of commune
eating, standing in fainting posture
tanning himself with his hands. Mr.
Bierbrod Immediately gave the alarm,
|whereupon the brother, Matthias, leaped
into the tub or basket, and was quickly
let down to the rescue of his smOthcred
brother, but when within about fifteen
feet Of the bottom found that he could
not stand to go further or remain longer.
and gave the signal to be drawn up
But here is the saddest Of the dreadful
calamity. In the desperate attempt to
save his brother he had remained too long
and being overcome to Inconsistencies,
when about half way up the shaft, fell
out Of the tub to the bottom Of the pit,
and his brave spirit mingled with that
Of the lost brother.
AT this juncture several made the at
tempt to descend the shaft, but to no
purpose, nothing being able to exist
hardly moment, and the unfortunate
brothers had to be left 10 their terrible
fate.
Mr.. Bierbrod who was in the adjoin-
ling shaft was an eyewitness to all that
ltranspired at the bottom of the pit but
being some ten feet higher mp the death
dealing danny did not reach the hole that
had been cut in the partition until he was
ready to be taken out, having taken tho
lprecaution TO attach himself so he could
not fall out, in which condition he was
taken out in an unconscious state, but
was soon restored to life.
The brothers were afterwards gotten
out the shaft by means Of grab-hooks. -
1t is supposed that Matthias broke his
neck in the fall. He leaves wife and
four children.

Oh, what is that sound
That comes booming along?
Ills the shouts Of nation
In jubilant song.

Surely Grant will get rats.

They are sick of those cousins
And brother-in-laws,
Those Dents and those Caseys,

They are sick of fast horses,

OF dog carts, barouches,
And nashy get-ups.
They are sick of the Corbins,
And Stockings, and Leets,
And Robson bumming
Around with our fleets.
They are sick Of Addition,
Division, and Silence;
And they wish to get rid oft
All without violence.
They wish to be done
With the plundering crew,
With their snobbish bad manners
And fashions so new;
And they wish to have rulers

Not merely gents
The are going for Horace,
The Chappaqua Chief;
And they long for the time
When he'll give them relief.
They long for the time
When the Caseys and Dents,
Will take up their march,
And go finally hence.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Since left your quiet
little village have been amusing my
SELF reading, writing, travelling and hear
ling men talk politics.
The weather is exceedingly warm, and
with the heavy showers that has just
fallen, the heat is still oppressive.
Ihave been talking with an old gray
headed father,-h spoke of the early
settling of Putnam county, and the great
changes that have taken place since he
first came to it. He spoke of the clear,
cool, sparkling spring Of water that
flows from the heart of the city, supply
ing the thirsty wants Of many. When
one visits it such day as to-day, and
beholds the clear, cosl water SO plentiful
Irippling over the time worn pebbles, he
feels that he would like to make his home
forever by its side. A half century ago
but few men drank of its refreshing
waters. Then many wild animals came
to its brink to drink. Now from this
woodland they have fed. Herds Of
cattle are seen in their stead.
Business is lively,-by the industry Of
the ten physicians the sick are made well,
10y the faithfulness Of twenty lawyers,
the citizens are law abiding, by the
goodness and gratefulness of the farmers
the sustenance of the populacc is main
tained. From the shops of the several
blacksmiths, implements Of various kinds
are prepared for the laboring classes.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The rolling mill is a pattern of indust-
ry; the genius Of those who prepared
the machinery for converting iron into
various forms and implements, design
ed for various uses, deserves the admira-
tion Of all. Nails arc manufactured in
large quantities, and shipped to differ
ent parts.
The new college building will soon be
completed; work will commence again
next week, as we have been informed.
1t will be neat and attractive. The
building place, ana faculty will be invi-
ling to those who are seeking literary
education. Yesterday evening an elec-
tion was held for the purpose Of filling
the vacant chairs in the Institute, which
resulted in the election Of DIR. Andrus
Of Indianapolis for President; McNutt,
of Colorado to the chair of mathematics.
BY dint of the politicians, Greeley
and Grant are made known to the peo-
pie. Most all Democrats are ior Gree
ley, and some few liberal Republicans.
All seem spirited, each one thinkingh is
man will be elected. There are two in
struments in the city by which the
doctrines are inculcated, the Banner
|, and Press. Both deserve praise for the
manner in which they adhere to their
slcause.
y Greeley and Grant clubs are being
,|formed at all points, but Greeley seems
10 be the most popular. lie will be made
more popular when the "Ida Greeley
sIGmys" travel over our land, making the
'impression that he is the man for Presi-
dent, and deserves to be eXtolled by all
and in varied ways.
Crops are good, the yield Of corn, hay
! and oats is remarkably great.

Oiling and Backing Harness.

All harness that is in constant use
should be washed, oiled and BACKED "A;
least twice every year. Some harness
should be oiled three or four times dur
ing the year, while carriage harness,
which is used only once or twice week,
If kept i'm a clean harness room or mar
ness closet, will need oiling only once a
wear. There is danger of oiling harness
too much. When the leather appears so
thoroughly saturated with oil that the ole
apinous substance ooZes from the pores,
and absorbs dust that may be floating III
the atmosphere, the leather does not need
oiling. The leather should always be IN
such condition, when oiled, that IT VIII
absorb the oil and leave clean surface.
When a harness is to be oiled, take IT
in a clean and warm room in cold wealth
err or on few clean boards on. of doors
i'm warm weather; unbuckle all the parts,
and wash the surface clean with strong
soapsuds. Wherever there may be coat
ing of gum, il soapsuds Will not remove
it readily, dip a coarse rag in spirits OF
turpentine and rub the SURFACE rapidly
A little tu-pentine or benzine will remove
a heavy coating of gum readily. Before
the oil is applied, the leather should be
warmed through and through. As soon
as the harness appears to dry on the sur
face. and before the leather has become
dry as finder to the middle, apply the OIL
Traces, and some other parts OF a harness
which are exposed to the wet and mud,
are not liable to have too much oil APP
piled to them.
. Neatsfoot oil is preferable to any other,
as it will keep the leather soft. We once
knew a farmer who, not understanding
that linseed oil when laid on leather
would render it hard and stiff, applied a
coat of il to his carriage-harness, which
made the leather so stiff and hard that
the surface would crack badly whenever
the pieces were bent. ;. !,
When the oil is about to be applied,

kept in large milk pan, so that all small
pieces like lines and straps may be dipped
in the oil and drawn slowly through II.
With the thumb and fingers slip the oil
back on the straps, and let it drop into
the pan. BY using large pan, one can

A strange case of temporary or inter
mittent loss of vision has recently occur
red in Flint. Mich, to young man nance
Charles Spence, a moulder in the Geneset
Iron Works. At the time of the attack
he was at work in the moulding room
and was looking under mould, holding
a small lamp in his hand. Suddenly nc
became conscious of the loss of sight.
Upon regaining an upright position, his
sight did not return, and at last accounts
he was almost totally blind during the
day time, suffering considerable pain in
the ewes. At night, however, he is able
to distinguish objects as well as ever N
the partial darkness of the room, and sur
fers less pain. As daylight approaches,
vision fails and the pain returns.
