FEAHp1L AC,IDENT.-We learn from
the Tribune that a young man named
Frank Allen, on Sunday, the 9Th inst. =,
ut Saunders Prairie, met with an ex-
seedingly painful accident. He was at
work on threshing machine, and, in
attempting to stop the horses, was
thrown upon the tumbling rod. His
pantaloons were first wrapped round
and torn off, then his boot leg served
in the same way, and finally his leg
caught and he was carried round, as
our informant assures us fally fifty
times, before the horses could be
stopped. His injuries consist in the
breaking in three places in the left leg,
the dislocation of the right knee, the
dislocation of the left elbow. severe
bruises and internal injuries-very pain
full, but not fatal, in their character.
The young man received surgical atten-
ton from DR.. Rowland, and is doing as
we'll as could be expected.

cratic and Liberal Conventions of Ne
braska, on the 4th inst. We publish it

reform party manages its affairs. The
two conventions, after the nominations
wece made, met in joint convention and
ratified the ticket. Great enthusiasm
prevailed:

az The New York World refers to
the fact that Horace Greeley was in 1867
q member of the State Constitutional
Convention, and that nineteen of his
Republican colleagues in that body
have already publicly declared their
preference for Greeley over Grant for
the next Presidency. Seven other Re-
publican members of that body have
refused to do anything to aid the cleo
ton of Grant. Every Democratic mem
Der of the body who is alive supports
Mr.. Greeley, while the clerk of the
Convention and all the officers except
the President also favor MIR. Greeley's
election.

WELL. WEIGHED. S. F. Post sums
up the results of the Louisville Side
show about as neatly as it can be done.
1t says: "The mountain has labored
and dead mouse is the result. Grant
has spent a large amount of money,
only to find himself outwitted by men
he knew to be knaves and thought to
be fools. Hiram's Louisville side show
his collapsed, and his fine figures have
melted to mere Jumps of wax. Pom
eroy and Duncan have overreached the
Administration. They promised to
make nominations, and they have kept
their word. They did not promise
that their nominees should accept, and
they have not accepted. The conven-
ton verified our prediction that it
would come to grief and its leaders to
ridicule. The only man who could
have given the movement the slightest
weight-Charles O'Conor-refused to
accept the nomination. Adams, the
nominee for Vice President, will also
decline. The attempt of Grant to re-
tain himself in power thought the in
jury he expected to work Greeley, by
means of the nominees of the Louis
vile Convention, has, like his Admins
ton, proved lamentable failure.

THE BUSINESS DIRECTORY.

Tie new business DIRECTORY Of the
western portion Of the Territory, has
made its appearance. It is an exceed
ingly neat octave volume of eco pages,
nearly half of which are devoted to
articles of a descriptive character. The
contents embrace general sketch of
the Territory, its early history, china
tology, productions, commerce, manu-
features, shipping, mineralogy, geology,
forests, flora, fisheries, animals, noun
tains, harbors, rivers, lakes, lands,
schools and school laws, public build
ingS, the railroad, and descriptions of
towns. To this is added suggestions
to tourists and immigrants, feature
which will render it necessity to the
travelling public.
The amount of labor performed by
the compiler in the limited time allowed
for the preparation of the work, excites
the surprise of all aware Of the charac-
ter of the work. That he is peculiarly
fitted for such an enterprise is apparent
from the success of this, his first effort.
It is to be hoped that he will find suffi-
cient remuneration to justify him in
publishing the Directory annually here
after, and enlarge its scope SO as to en-
brace the whole Territory.
The Typography is unexceptionable,
except that the type used in the body
of the work is too small, bat probably
this is circumstance that could not
we'll be avoided. We accord to Mr.. J.
r: Harmed full praise for the evident
care in which he has performed his part
of the work, and the good taste and
judgment manifested in its typograph-
ical arrangement.
There are two beautiful specimens of
color printing in the Directory, one by
Mr.. Gum of the Transcript and the
other by Mr.. Cook, of the Seneca Falls
Printing Office. They are both excel
lent exhibitions of the effect that can be
produced by the artistic arrangement
of types and rule.
There are, of course, few errors in
the volume, mostly typographical, but
these will be excused in the first num-
Der, printed in haste and with no OPP
portunity for the compiler to revise the
proof, he being absent the greater por-
ton of the time the work was in press.
