WEED OUT. -IIc is a poor aSricuturist who
permits noxious weeds TO injurc his crops, and it
is sickly party that will not throw of the rot
ten and corrupt men that hang to its skirts.
Weed such men ont. They only cling to us to be-
tray the organization, and the sooner we are rid
of them the better.-Dcmocra Of last reet.
The trouble is that all good men are leaving
the corrupt Democratic party, and if the editor
designs to wced ont the 'rotten and corrupt" his
party will soon become entirely extinct.

TERRIBLE.-0n Thursday evening fire broke
out at the residence of Michael Sanders, in East
Danville, through the explosion of lamp. The
ignted fluid being scattered, rapidly cnyeloped
the house in flames. No time was left to save
anything. But Mr.. Sanders being tax collector,
tried to save the papers and money. belonging to
the publlr. For this purpose he entered the
burning building but alas, he did not return.
Overcome by the devourlng element he sank
down into the fire and was burned to crisp. A
portion of his body was afterwards recovered.
An adjoining house was also consumed This
terrible calamity cast a gloom over the minds of
all, for all knew and respected Mr.. Sanders, as
an honest upright man, and as Christian. God
comfort the stricken heart of the dsconsolate wi
dow so suddenly and awfully bereft of the COM
panion, with whom she journied through life,
from youth to old age.-Danville Independent.

WASHINGTON. Feb. delegations OF manufacs
turers representing tbe leading Industries OF the
United States were presented - the President to
day. Senator Scott, in Introducing the party. SAID
they were there 70 prevent a reduction Of duties
on foreign articles which enter into competition
with American manufactures. which reduction can
only result ID direct injury 10 ihe Htcresto Of Amer
lean labor. The President said lie believed his
views or this subject were generally well under
stood. He had not changed from those expressed
in his last annual Message. that the reduction OF
duties on articles we could manufacture had but
one tendency. that Of depressing industry. inJnr,ng
the working classes. reducing them 10 the condition
of The pauper labor OF Europe. He understood the
policy Of Congress to be. that articles not produced
in this country. entering into general competition,
should De admitted free Of duty, while those com
netting with our manufactures should not be re-
duced. The delegation visited Boutwell,. who indi-
Gated his opposition to the policy of interfering with
the production of the country.
