ACCIDENTAL SHoeTfNG.-On Tues.
day last Mr.. Frank Kelso and Joseph
Lisetor went out woodcock shooting.
As one of these birds flew out of the
fall grass. Mr.. Kelso fired at it and
hit Mr.. Liseror, whom he did not see.
Mr.. Lisetor received nearly the full
charge of shot in the right side of his
face, right arm and side. The shot,
however, were not very deeply i'm
bedded, most of them have been ex-
tracted, and the patient is doing well.
Mr.. Lisetor considers it a narrow es-
cape, as he was struck both very near
the temple, and the opening of the
ear.-Kent Bulletin.

THE story that Hon. l.. c. Jones is
plotting with Democrats to secure the
nomination for Congress in this Dis
trict is the thinest kind of nonsense,

never again should he receive their

MEAT KNIFK.-A few days ago we
were shown by Mr.. NJ. Trow bridge,
of Meadville, Pa, very neat and USE
ful little implement called a meat or
kitchen knife, of which he is the in
venter and patentee. This implement
has blade about eight inches long
and two and a-half wide, the front
edge being sharp for cutting meat and
the back serrated, the blades or teeth
being sharp, for the purpose of cut
ting the tough, stringy fiber of steaks,
thus avoiding the old method of
pounding, which does little or no good,
as it is this stringy fiber that renders
the meat tough, aud any amount of
mauling leaves this fiber unbroken
and as tough as before, while cutting
it renders it tender and eatabIe. This
little implement is sold at the low
price of $1.00, and, from having tried
it, we pronounce it cheap for the
money. Mr.. d. W. Paine is the agent
for the sale of them in this place.

backs, but did not declare in opposition
to a metallic basis for the currency. In
this congressional district, Mr.. Crebs
made his own platform, and was elected,
not because the people endorsed the
cheap money doctrine, but because
they hated the negroes aud Mr.. Mum
his competitor.
We do not say that the Democratic
party has taken wise course on the
question OF the public finances. On the
contrary we assert that it has not done
so; but in 1872, the national Democratic
convention, in broad terms, declared in
favor of a speedy return TO specie pay
ments, aud in Maine and other States,
since that time, the party has also made
the demand 1t is drifting back to the
old moorings. f.. U.. ...
We have no doubt the best interests
of the country demand the restoration
of gold and silver as the basis Of the
currency Of the country, and we shall
hereafter labor to secure that end. If
we consulted our own personal, imme-
date wishes we would advocate the in
fation Of the currency to an immense
volume. If greenbacks were made as
numerous as Confederate notes were
during the war, we could get them
without trouble and use them TO pay
our debts; but We are satisfied the
policy would result in great disasters
and ruin the country.
1t does not follow from this that we
favor a contraction of the currency.
We do not. We believe there is not too
much money in the country, and have
no doubt specie payments may be
reached without contraction. II this
can be done, the moment the paper
currency of the country became par,
gold and silver would flow into the cir
culation, and we would have more of
better money than we have now. What
we particularly deprecate is the dan
gerous doctrine now becoming preya-
lent in some quarters, that paper or
leather or tin or any other substance
can be made good money by being de-
clared legal tender for debts by the
government. This is 4 most perDi-
cious fallacy, and ought to be strangled
in its infancy.

Murray has attacked our pet hsllucir-

has committed an objectionable sin in
thus pouring gall and worm wood into the
caslice from which VIC have all been ac-
customed TO drink seli-.steom and self
glorihcsiion these many yoars. The lee
ture, or rather talk-for such the
speaker peferred TO call 1t
WAS preceded by an explanation that the
lecturer WAS some what embarrassed from
the fact that he had only obtained permits
sion, after much asking, to speak extemp-
oraneously on the subject of his new lee
ture, having promised 20 first present the
lecture itself in the Boston Music Hall.
Then taking up his theme, he talked con.
versstiop ally about it for something over
an hour. Consistently with his repeated
declarations, he discussed modern heath
enism entirely from one point of view,
bringing out and comparing its virtues
ana not its vices The fact hat we are
making strenuous efforts to Christishize
the world proves conclusively that We be-
lieve ourselves better every way than the

fow comparisons between his audience
