RUNAWAY AcoIDENT.-on Tuesday, as John
Wood, assessor for Christiana Hundred, was re-
turning to his home at Henry Clay, when near
the residence or DR.. Greenlief, on the Kennett
pike. his horse shied from passing team, and
ran down into the side road which is here de-
pressed about four or five feet below the level
Of the turnpike, upsetting the carriage, and
dragging Mr.. Wood considerable distance.
His shoulder was dislocated, one rib broken and
his head and other parts Of his person consider
and was taken home. He is able to sit up and
finds that his wounds. though painful. are not
likely to permanently disable him. His Christ
mas was probably not a very merry one, though
he and his worthy family are thankful that he
escaped with his life.
And here let us say that no turnpike company
ought to be allowed to have the side road 10
Gated below the level of the pike. because this
condition always makes accidents of the kind
reported above extremely aiable to occur.

ST. PATRICK DAY.

St. Patrick's Day was generally
celebrated in eur large cities on
Sunday last, the nth Of March. The
day of his death was selected rs the
anniversary Of the patron Saint.
All admit, however, he WAS born in
the 4th, century, and there is con-
1;cting evidence even in regard to
the country..wbore he first saw the
light, though France seems to have
the best authenticated claim. He
was made q prisoner by a predatory
band and carried to Ireland as q
slave, and was placed to watch over
the 1ocks Of his captors, and finally
escaped into France, from which
country he returned to Dublin,
when he was about forty-fvO years
old. Here begins his remarkable
career. He had become a priest in
France, and had received a commits,
son from the Pope to convert the
Irish people. Many singular miri-
clos are ascribed TO him during his
IaborI in Ireland, among which is
his Kidding the country of vermin
and reptiles. lie made converts
in the. royal presence, established
monastic order, and to him is dive
the prevalence Of the Catholic reli,
gion in Ireland. The shamrock,
the national shrub of the country,
owes its celebrity to his use of it"in
illustrating the doctrine Of the
Trinity, his burial-placo is un-
known, else Ireland would have n
shrine which would equal, in celeb
rity, that of the great prophet of
lslamism.
St. Patrick is represented as a
disnifed, noble-Iooking parsonage,
far in advance of his age in the vir.
tues Of a man and christian.

though really your American never

An orange whole it is abusing a

than we are. He will cit and sip
his absinthe or drink his bottle Of

We know l:ttle.of the esthetics Of

We scarcely snjoy.sither. We live
