The Jamestown Journal SAYS that
Thomas Ray, of Freehold township,
Pennsylvania, went to the woods one
day last week, with q team of horses,
and while there he hitched his team
TO tree he had cut and lo1ged some
years before, 10 draw it down. When
he started, the tree being rotten broke
in two about twenty feet from the
stump; and fearing the top would fall
on him, Ray ran from his team under
the body of the tree. Here he be-
came tangled in the brush and deep
snow, and the top end of the butt OF
the tree struck him on the hip, crush
ing it fearfully. Drs. Smith and
Wright were called and the bones set,
and the patient well cared for. 1t
was feared at the time that there were
internal injuries which would prove
fatal, but he is now doing we'll and
strong hopes are entertained of his
coming out all right.

The Titusville Courier has the fol-
lowing item in regard to Jos. X. Tpr.
ner:
1t is now about year and hall
since Joseph k. Turner, young law.
yer of this city, was consigned to the
penitentiary. The facts connected
with his arrest, trial and imprison-
ment are familiar to all our people. 1t
was the general opinion then that his
sentence was much more severe than
his crime, or the crime he attempted
to commit warranted. We have late.
ly talked with person who has seen
Turner. He is now lying sick in the
prison hospital, and it is doubtful that
he will ever recover. His father is
more than eighty years of age. He
has no influential friends to whom he
can appeal to aid him in procuring q
pardon for his son, and is too old and
feeble to attend personally to the get
ting up and circulating of n petition
to the President. In view of these
facts, petition to President Grant
will he drawn up and circulated here
in Titusville, praying for the pardon
of Turner.

"A span Of horses and q carriage,
belonging TO Brookville, met with a
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 fa,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 dmy 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 au 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
unpretending 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 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 Las 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 ever 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-
litieal experience Of the country. 1t
was not a question Of different methods
of administering Constitution which
all 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
contest, it was very needful that the
friends Of good Government shauld win.
But. their action was necessarily defen
size, and they never felt that their op-
ponents were worthy of their steel.
Any Que who will recall the express
sions of the men whom the country
has most reason to trust, in regard 10
to The late campaign, will acknowledge
that they were almost invariably some.
what cuntemptuous, and at NEST in.
dignant. The best minds Of the coun-
try felt that the coalition was con.
spiracy, ana however necessary it
may be to crush conspiracy, it is not
an inspiring task.

The latest advices from England
state that the coal famine in that
country has produced 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, aAd there seems to be a gener.
al tendency to agree that in the face
ofsuch a national disaster us 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.
cusslon 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.
