Affairs in the Second District.
ACCIDENT


A serious accident happened to Mr.. William
Ewing very worthy and highly esteemed citi-
zen OF our district, on last Tuesday at Lapdum
At the time of the ice-gorge on the previous
night two canal boats, tied to Mr.. G. Bakers
wharf, were thrown by the flood in front of that
gcntleman's hotel. One of them during the fall
ing of the waters settled lengthwisc across the
front OF the wharf breaking it in two, while
the other caught lengthwiSe with the wharf
upon some projecting timbers thereby endanger-
ing the safety of the boat. Mr.. Ewing, IN order
to save the boat, procured an axe, and cut loose
the timber, letting the stern of the boat into the
water, but the bow hung on the edge of the
wharf. Nothing daunted, though admonished
OF danger, he procured q bar and commenced
prylng oil the bow of the boat when it also sud
denly gave way and precipitated Mr. Ewing into
the water, between the wharf and boat. A
strong current of water at this time was setting
in from the river across the tow-path, which
caused rapid rebounding ofthe boat toward
the wharf. For moment the spectators were
spellbound at the expected sight of Mr.. Ewing
being crushed to death between the boat and
wharf, but Mr.. Thomas Kelly, with great pres
ence of mind rushed to the edge of the whartand
seized Mr.. Ewing by one arm, while Others also
ran to the rescue and endeavored to hold the boat
OIL Their efforts partially failed, however. Mr.,
Ewing being 4 heavy man, Mr.. Kelly could not
lift him out without assistance, and the boat
caught him, crushing him severely from the hips
to the knees. He was taken to Mr.. Bakers
hotel, where he is amply and comfortably pro-
vided for by the proprietor, and attended by our
worthy friend DR.. w. w. Virdin. When last
heard from his condition was tavorablc-no
bones broken or joints dislocated.
A CASE OF SMALL PoX.
A young colured man named Samuel Hemore,
Oh the farm of Mr.. Amos Hughes, died of small

A Bad Lot.

The Credit Moblier has turned out to be
anything but q credit to the parties engaged
in it. Worried TO the verge of desperation
by the persistent efforts made to throw all
the discredit of the infamous swindle upon
him alone, Mr. Cakes AmeS has turned like
astag at bay, and by producing letters, checks,
receipts, Sc, has verified the truth of his
statements duplicating n number of members
of Congress with having received from him,
without AN equivalent in return, shares of
stock in the Credit Mobilier. Among the
shining Radical lights whose easy conscen-
ces were thus quielcd by the immaculate
Ames are Mcssrs. Garfield of Ohio, Patter-
son, of New Jersey, Colfnx, ex-senator
Logan, Senator Harlan. JUICE Kelley and
others. Nor have all the Democratic mem
bcrs been free from scandal in the mat
ter. Mr.. Brooks. of New York, it seems,
was also sharer in the profits otthe scheme.
We scarcely know which to condemn the
most strongly-the unblushing ettronlery of
Cakes Ames, in thus offering o bride mem
hers of Congress or the venalitv of those
sworn public servants in accepting the bribe
Verify, they are all together bad lot, and
the sooner the rogues are turned out and hon
est men sent to Congress the better it will
be for the toiling millions of the country.
