it at lis companion, and twice pulled the

Since the above was written We have
learned That the wounded boy was taken To

DrS. Cullen and Cunningham were to have
performed the amputaiion. a large screw

and most characteristic efforts. At another

the stamp of his approval. For the best his

cannon ball. He lodged in the top of
q tall oak, where he took rest before
attempting TO descend. When he af-
terward undertook to move, he dis
covered that his body was very badly
shattered. With great effort he de-
scendcd to the ground, and walked
rapidly to Titusville, where his
wounds were properly dressed. He
is now about as well rs ever, having
been thoroughly repaired by the use
of q new and powerful adhesive salve.
Three barrels of the benzine were
blown forward under the horses,
where they exploded.
AS might be expected this unusual
noise frightened the high spirited ami
mails, and they kicked, reared, and
plunged, rather worse than they
would even in fy-time. The names
and tails of the noble animals were
badly scorched, but otherwise they
are not seriously injured. Take it
all in all it was one of the most thrill
ing accidents that hns occurred in the
oil regions for long number OF
years. Although the horses, no
doubt, thought that absence of body
would be far preferable to presence Of
mind. they kept very cool through the
trying ordeal, and did everything they
could to allay any excitement that the
explc sion might occasion.

The s'Breaking-Down" Process.

Although WASHINGTON complained
that he had been abused like "picll-
pocket" he had very moderate set
of foes to face compared with those
who assail Gen. GRANT. During the
past few months, there has scarcely
been a crime Of which the President
has not been accused. The jud z
ment of the people seems TO be that
be has passed through this ordeal
very creiitably. He has not answer
ed his accusers-a virtue which does
not pass unappreciated by the COM
nonsense people of the country.
Every charge brought forward
against him has fallen to the ground
His enmies have famed their rage to
a white heat, but the President goes
on doing his work and takes no no.
tice Of them-a course which at once
raises him far above their level. The
politlcians-such as Horace Greeley
who desire to step into his shoes,
and the intriguers-such as Carl
Schurz-who are half beside them
selves with personal disappointments
and resentments, have not yet man
aged to persuade the nation that the
President is either corrupt, dis
honest, or an incompetent man.
There has been no abuse exposed
which the President has not fastened
to correct. He has left no important
business neglected. The prosperity
of the country was never greater

E. D. Mansfield, in the Cincinnati
Gazette of last Saturday, speaking Of
the Treaty with England, says:
That matter lies in a nutshell, and
will occasion no difficulty whatever.
England and the United States have
agreed to leave their respective claims
to arbitration of a convention. En-
gland can not withdraw from the ar
bitration without simple reputation
which reputation will be the repudi-
alton of honor, honesty, and public
faith. England will never do that,
and it will be backing out from all
that England has upheld in a century.
If she did, we should not be the suf-
ferers. We would be only where we
were before. England will not back
out. She will only protest against
the claims for indirect damages. The
result will be the arbitrators will
throw out those claims, and we shall
be allowed full damages for all the
losses by the Alabama. That will
end the matter. Our citizens will be
paid for all the losses by the Alabama.
All our difficulties with England will
be settled, and the peace of nations
remain undisturbed. The treaty was
in fact, and will remain, one of the
laurels Of the Grant admins
tration, and though Mr..
Sumner, or we, or anybody, should
for our own reasons quarrel with it,
the truth of history will remain, that
so far the Grant administration has
administered the government for the
general welfare, which is both in fact
and theory the object ofgovernment.

Frightened to Death.

A little six year-old son of Geo Ba-
ker OF Middlebury, died on sunday
last from excessive fright, He with
several other little boys. were on
Saturday rambling through the woods
south of Middlebury, tapping the ma
pie trees and drinking the sap that ev-
cry boy loves so well, when he was
set upon by some larger and older
boys who threatened to take his life
and in other ways frightened him al
most to distraction. So badly, in
deed, was he frightened that he was
thrown into spasms which, notwith-
standing the best efforts of the ply
sician, resulted in his death on Sun
day.-Akron Beacon.

are glad to record. Had the pream-

followed, and witch has resulted in no

We can recall no instance in which

counsel only from his personal hate

preamble he knew was maliciously
false; a preamble he hoped would
prove so distateful to the Republicans
that they would vote against the res

thus place the administration in the
attitude of opposing investigation in

So far as this present Custom
House investigation is concerned,
there has, as yet, been not particle
of testimony showing any knowledge
on the part of President Grant of the
abuses there existing, or that he in
any way has connived at fraud. On
the other hand, it is in proof that the
very man pointed out as the grand
rascal-Mr. Leet--was secretly con-
nected with the General Order busi-
ness of the Custom House and that
President Grant, personally. was not
in favor of Leet's being connected
with the Custom House in New York.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
Vice-President COlfax On War
and Arbitratinn.

Vice-PreStdent COlfaX On War
and Arbitratinn.
Vice-President Colfax delivered an
address on the character of Washing
ton, at Brooklyn, on the 22d. After re-
ferring to Washington's love ofpeace,
Notwithstanding his military career,
Mr.. Colfax thus spoke on our rela-
tions with Great Britain:
I rejoice that this nation, with the
other English eaking nations on the
earth, has set the example of the
settlement of national disputes by the
arbitration of the leading men of
the civilized world [Applause. ]
And / will tell you how that treaty
came to be made. 1t was made be-
cause the American people demanded
that this nation should stand
forth upon the rock of
right itself. After our war
was over. with the irritations arising
out of the conduct Of Great Britain in
regard to the disputed questions, we
were liable at any time to drift into
war even against the will Of our own
Government and rulers. I know
when the war closed, the common re-
mark was made by public men ''We
will let this be an outstanding dis
pute until Great Britain becomes in
volved in trouble with our own peo-
pie or with foreign nations. and then
we will put to her lip the poisoned
chalice she put to ours;'' but the
American people-the plain people,
as Abraham Lincoln has called them
said to those leading men, "Never |!
We denounced it as wrong during
the war of the Revolution, and we
won't consent that this nation shall
do wrong if in any honorable way
it can be adjusted" and they said
right. Applause. And that treaty
was made b. which all these open
questions were referred to internation-
81 arbitration-a blow for peace and
against war more potential than any
question that has ever been decided
on either side of the Atlantic Ocean.
1 give no credit to what I hear by
cable under the ocean as to the
mothor country, as we call her re-
ceding from this solemn compact.
Applause. Oh, no! With this great
step in advance, with the distinct un-
derstanding all over the world that
every difficulty between the two ma
tions is to be submitted to arbitration,
as at Geneva, where persons were
appointed by monarchs to settle a
question between republic aud a
monarchy, neither nation will dare,
in the face of the civilized world to
violate that compact, and leave the
questions open for further alteration
the future. No, if we were not to
receive one dollar as the rsult of
that arbitration, I would stand before
my contry and say, "Settle this ques-
tion, whether we receive nothing or
whether we bankrupt our Treasury
rather than recede hairs breadth
from that grand position that these
two nations occupy in respect to the
other nations Of the earti,.'' Certain
ly they will learn something from
this lesson Of ours, speaks plain-which
iy to them, Copy our example, and
submit your disputes to impartial ar
filtration" Prolonged applause.
