A span Of horses and carriage,
belonging TO Brookville, met with
serious accident at that dangerous por-
ton Of the Clarion road known as the
narrows, a short distance below this
city on Saturday. The passing of an
upward bound train frightened the
horses and they jumped over the bank.
One horse rolled under the hind truck
Of the last car and was so badly hurt
that it had to be shot. The other horse
was saved by being ia, ther up the hill,
and the driver escaped by being
thrown out or jumping out. The car
riage was completely demolished. At
the same time a horse under the sad
die became frightened and threw its
rider. The condition of this piece of
road is very dangerous. The persona
whose duy it is to put in proper or
der should be made to do so at once,
or suffer the consequences of their
neglect. .-Spectator.

The New York Times, in the
course Of al article on the situation,
says:
Congress has adjourned, and its
members have gone home to their con.
stituents, to make such peace with them
as is possible. The President has be-
gun his second term, and has laid his
anpretending programme of intentions
before the people. For the next eight
or nine mouths the country will have
comparative freedom from political
discussion. The relief will not be un-
welcome. There has been a long and
wearisome period of excitement. 1t
commenced before the opening of Con-
gress in 1871, and it has lasted, with
only brief intervals, since--more than
fifteen months. 1t kas not been as
profitable as it might have been, and
has at no stage been very agreeable to
the people at large. if We except the
moment Of triumph over the election.
Before the Presidential election the
country was aroused, not by the dis
cussion OF new issues, or by the agita :
tion Of great principles. but by Pc
litical intrigue. of low character, by
which it was sought to cheat the peo-
pie into restoring power to condemn.
ed and obsolete party. The struggle
that ensued was one in which little OF
real value was contributed to the po.
litical experience of the country. 1t
was not a question Of different methods
Of administering Constitution which
ill respected. 1t was only question
of whether a very old set of political
schemers should get possession of the
Offices under false pretences. In such
Il contest, it was very needful that the
friends Of good Government should win
Bur. their action was necessarily defen
siye, and they never felt that their op
ponents were worthy of their steel
Any one who will recall the expires,
sions Of the men whom the country
has most reason to trust, in regard tc
to the late campaign, will acknowledge
that they were almost invariably some
what cuntemptuous, and at most in
dignant. The best minds Of the coun
try felt that the coalition was a con
spiracy, and however necessary i
may be to crush conspiracy, it is no
an inspiring task.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1873-03-12

The latest advices from England
state that the coal famine in that
country has produced a crisis in the
cotton trades, as we'll as in the iron
market; that its pressure is daily be.
coming more disastrous. and interfer-
ing seriously with almost every known
branch of business. SO widespread is
the suffering and so profound the
alarm, that the subject of government
proposing a temporary stoppage ofthe
export of coal IS discussed with con
siderable animation in commercial
circles, ahd there seems to be a gener.
al tendency to agree that in the face
ofsuch a national disaster rs the pres.
ent scarcity and high price of fuel, the
ordinarily rigid laws of free trade
might lSgitimately be relaxed fer the
good of the community. Another
subject also which has provoked dis
custom is the propriety Of the govern
ment if possible, becoming the owners
of the collieries Of the United King
dom, even in preference to acquiring
the railways. But England's trouble
is our opportunity. All the condi-
tions necessary to achieve greater
manufacturing and commercial pros
perity than England ever saw, exist
in this country. There is no occasion
for special haste, but this is the time
for American industrial enterprise to
begin to gather its rewards.

The New York papers mention a
ease which shows that some rassally
genius has invented a new device
wherewithal to ensnare mercenary
rustics. 1t seems that citizen of
Mattoon, sent to the Superintendent
of Police at New York Autographed
circular similar to those that are used
in the ''saw.dust game" which he had
received through the mails. This
epistle represents that its author
bonght at a very low figure, 1900
yards Of fine silk that had been stolen
during the Boston fire, a sample Of
which accompanies the circular; that
he is sick and afraid to dispose Of it
in the city, and that he is compelled to
propose that he will sell 1t to the par.
ty addressed for 25 cents yard, to be
paid for in installments of $50 per
month. An inocent-looking postscript
adds that a remmittanee of SO will
be necessary to get the silk oat Of
pawn.

Tigers Fatal as Wars.

A paper recently read before the So
cial Science Society of London by Capt.
Rogers, gave some astounding figures in
illustration of the yearly destruction of
human life by wild beasts in India ga
single tigress caused the destruction of
thirteen villages, and 256 square miles
of country were thrown out of cultiva-
tion." Wild beasts frequently OBJ
struct Government survey parties. In
1869 one tigress killed 127 people, and
stopped public road for many weeks. 4"
"n January, 1868, panther broke
into the town of Chicola, and attacked,
without the slightest provocation, the
owner of field. Four persons were
dangerously wounded, and one died.
"Man-e eating tigers are causing great
loss of life along Malay Malay forest.
There are five of them. One is said to
have destroyed hundred people. 4"
" Writing from Nuydunca, 1869, gen
tleman says one tigress, in 1S67-S-9,
killed respectively twenty seven, thirty
four, and forty-seven-total, 10S people.
In Lower Bengal alone, in a period of
six years, were killed by wild beasts,
3,401. In South Canaree, in July,
1867, forty human beings were killed by
wild beasts. Finally Capt. Rogers
concludes by telling that the Chief Com
missioner of the Central Provinces, in
his report, shows the following terrible
returns of human beings killed by
tigers : In 1S66-67, 372; 1S67-6S,
1870; 1S66-69, 2S5-total, 945. 1t APP
pears that there are difficulties in the
way of killing down these tigers. First,
the superstition of the natives, who re-
gard the man-eating tiger" as kind
of incarnate and spiteful divinity, whom
it is dangerous to offend secondly, the
failures of Government rewards third
ly, the desire of certain parties in India
actually to preserve tigers as game,
to he shot with the rifle as a matter of
sport.

A Woman Marries a Woman.

An extraordinary lawsuit is now going
on in Paris. Some years ago surgeon
made the acquaintance of young girl,
who soon became mother. 81 cannot
marry you," said the doctor (although
he was not MARKEDLY; "but if you can
find any one else to make you his wife
and adopt the child as his own, / will
leave him all my fortune" But hus-
band could not be found to accept these
conditions. However, among the girls
friends was a school companion of hers,
whose brother had just died abroad, and
she proposed to take her brothers name
and attire, and to marry her friend, to
save her from disgrace. This was done,
and they duly married and lived before
the world as man and wife. The doctor
died in course of time, and, according to
his word, left his whole fortune to the
child. The sOi-disant husband also
died, and the secret was discovered.
Hearing this, the relations of the doctor
have brought an action against the child
to recover the fortune. The money,
they say, was left to the child of Mons.
and Nine A.; but as there was no Mons.
A., there could be no Nine. A.-ergO,
the child could not be theirs. The suit
is still at this point, the plaintiffs case
being alone heard as yet.

A Life Plant.

A gentleman of Williamsport, Pa,
travelling in Jamaica, w. l., few years
ago, was attracted by vigorous-looking
plant growing on the roadside in the dry
and arid soil, apparently the only vege-
tation that could withstand the extreme
heat and drouth. Upon inquiry, he was
told it was the Elephant, and that, if a
leaf should be suspended by thread
from the ceiling, it would put forth root
lets from each of the dentate notches.
He broke off twig and leaf, and
packed them among some dried grass
and brought them home with him. The
moisture in the air in the tropics was so
penetrating that they grew in his trunk,
and the twig continued to grow after it
was planted in the ground up to the
present time. Last winter it bloomed,
the flowers were in large panicle, pur-
pie bells, about an inch and half long,
and they soon began to fade. At the
suggestion of gardener, the top was
cut off, but, the plant looking little
uninteresting, the top was stuck into the
ground, when new buds appeared, and
it continues to bloom as though it was
on the parent stalk.
