DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. On Friday
night last, or rather Saturday morning,
about , O'Clock, Dr.. Geo. Garmany Of this
town, accidentally fell from the second
story back window Of the sleeping apart
ment Of DR.. J. K. Thompson, and sustained,
it is feared very serious in uricS of an internal
character. Dr.. Garmany it appears, IS we
learned from himself, had been in close at
tendance for = number Of nights on oac his
pa tien;s, and had lost much sleep. and on
this particular night, being relieved from
bis watch, about the hour named, had gone
to the room OF his friend 10 snatch brief
rest, rather than go 10 his home to disturb
bis sleeping family. After retiring he soon
fell asleep. Not long after he arose in his
sleep, went to the window, the blinds of which
were drawn together, aud pushing ag.inst
thcm--thc window sill being very low-hc
fell out head foremost, q distance of about
IS feet, strik ing board fence about three
feet from the house. board of was displaced
By the fall How long he lay is not known,
but his cries aroused Dr.. T., who went down
aud discovered the prone form of his friend
stretched upon the ground. A mcrciful
providence alone saved DR.. Garmany from a
horrible, instantaneous death. Al Of Sat
urday and the Sabbath his friends feared he
must Succumb 10 severe injuries which his
sufTeriugs seemed to indicate, but We are le-
joicei TO say that now he appears 10 be
better.

JUDGE HUGHES.

Both The Enquirer and Wing speak
kindly Of the appointment of Colonel
Hughes to the judgship made vacant by
the death Of Judge Underwood. We have
already spoken of the character and high
qualifications of the new incumbent, and
any further commentator would seem
almost superogatory at this time. No
one disputes the ability and fitness Of
the appointment, so far as the personal
qualifications and character OF the gentle
man are concerned !; and it will be difficult
for the Conservative journals Of the state
to weigh any political objections against
him in the partisan scales at their com.
mand. Had the election resulted adversely
to their candidate, with Conservative ad-
ministration at Washington, what appoint
ment would have been more seemly,
or met with greater approval, than
that of General Kemper; and yet what
friend Of that gentleman will claim any
higher qualification for him than is univer-
sally conceded to Colonel Hughes? OF
course, Colonel HIS nomination will be
confirmed, and we are confident his judi.
cial career will be one eminently satisfac-
tory to the bar and the entire people of the
state. -s-

APoPExY, in some one form or another,
seems to be the great scourge of literary,
scientific, and professional men. Within
the last few days several prominent persons
have fallen before this advancing scourge,
and within the last three days Judge Mel
son, late Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, and Prot. Agassiz, of
worldwide fame as scientist, have
been added to the roll of its VIC
Tins. AS the disease IS one char
asterized by the sudden loss of sensation
and voluntary motion, its cause is
at once traceable to the brain, which seems
to labor under a greater or less degree of
pressure according to the severity of the
attack. An oyerworked brain seems to be
especially amenable to an attack of
apoplexy; and any form of mental labor
or anxiety, long continued, exposes
one to this fearful malady, which is
now the scourge of the intellectual world.

DEATH or AGAssIz

The death Of this eminent student of
nature will produce the profoundest regret
throughout the scientific world. Within
the last few years he had been pursuing q
branch Of studies Of the highest interest to
the scientific mind, pushing his researches
into the secret chambers of nature and
gathering up facts of the greatest import
ance in their bearing upon popular
theories and it is not now known to
what extent he had classified the ma
terials at his command. lie was known
to be opposed to the startling theories of
Darwin, Huxley, and others Of their class,
who have been endeavoring to dethrone
God by protoplasm or some other germ
inal principle in the universe, and it was
expected that he would deliver course of
scientific lectures during the winter in OPP
position to the views so confidently put
forth by them in the last few years. His
death at this time is, therefore, not only o
great loss to science, but serious blow to
its beautiful and ever. attending shandmaid,
religion. For probably there was not
man living more capable Of handling
the questions and principles involved in the
controversy named than Professor Agas-
siz. He it was who could have shown its
utter delusiveness, and the fanciful and
pretentious basis on which it rests, as q
piece Of pretended science. The world has
suffered loss in the death Of this great
scientist which only the few can appreciate
who knew the real value of his most inn
portant researches. Agassiz was sixty-six
years of age. ~.

THE patentees and patent owners Of
New England, together with those having
capital invested ip business done under
patent rights, are TO hold meeting in
Boston to-day, for the purpose of forming
an association to promote their common
interests, and to bring their influence to
bear on patent legislation and the genera
administration, in this country and else.
where, of the rights secured to patentees
and their assignees. Among the objects
specified as desirable of attainment, are
the severance of the Patent office from
the department of the Interior, and its cree
ton into separate department, raising
the compensation Of its officers to such a
grade as will induce men of the best talent
to accept and retain these positions alter
ing the term for which patents are issued
and modifying the :. law in other essen
tial particulars. 1t is said that this new
association will cooperate with the inter-
national patent congress to be held in jan
uary, which has for its object "to secure
uniformity in the various and insufficient
laws relating to patents existing among
foreign nations, by bringing about such an
universal adoption Of the broad principles
governing the liberal granting of patent
mmunities as shall result in more easy
Introduction Of inventions from one coun.
try to another
Some of these objects are praiseworthy
enough and would no doubt be improve
ments upon the existing law and regula-
tons of the department. But those not
patentees or patent owners should have
an eye upon this combination interest
and the movement now making, to see
that no greater patent monopolies are
created in the interest of capital and to
the detriment of labor. The Patent Office
is most important branch of the govern
ment and operates as powerful stimulus
to inventive genius; but, like all other
branches of the government, it should be
kept under the influence and control Of
people who are to be especially benefited
by it, and not fall into the hands or under
the control of those who are the chief
recipients of Its bounty. The present life

are there circumstances to justify q

sale of the articles patented. There is to
be combined movement in favor of
renewals during the present session Of
Congress, and heavy pools have been made
to secure an extension OF certain menop.
oily interests; and it behooves the peo-
pie to keep sharp eye on their represent
atives, to see what influences shall gov
ern them in this direction. The sewing
machine monopoly, for one, has enjoyed
immunities enough already. There should
be no renewal of them, nor of the more
important agricultural implements on which
fortunes have already been made.
