AccIDExr.-What might have proved very
serious if not fatal accident occurred to Vice
President Keyser, of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. at Harper's Ferry, on Fri
day night week, He was on his way to the
opening hop at Deer Park. and having bush
ness at the telegraph Office at the Ferry he hGr-
ried across the bridge in advance of the train,
made temporary stop on the Maryland side.
The bridge has no floor other than a few boards
in the middle Of the trestlwork. Near the Fr-
GINA sde there is space Of about seventy feet
bare of plank, and as Mr. Keyser had no light
with him he walked into this opening without
knowing it, and wonld ave been dashed to
pieces upon the rocks in the bed Of the river
hut for his size, which prevented his passing
between the timbefs of the bridge After sew
eral minutes Of suspension he mana ed to ex-
trcate himself and reached place Of safety
Just in time TO avoid the Pittsburg express
which came tbnuds,ins along Cumberland
md Times.

10 an article upon the great Beecher-Tilton
scandal, the Baltimore Sun has the following
truthful paragraph:
Even assuming the truth of the whole dis
casting story. there is nothing in the alleged
guilt Of gifted and sensational preacher, or of
a romance reading woman who has to tind out
from novel what she had not been abe to
learn from revelation, that adultery was a
crime, to weaken the faith Of any one either in
Christianity or in the general morality Of man
kind and ~omankind. What o multitude of
happy and yirtuous homes there are in the
world TO one which is even alleged to be other
wise, yet the solitary exception, like wander
ing comet, makes more impression upon the
Imagination than all the fixed stars which
serenely and securely shine in the armament.

We copy the following from the Williams

The show is good one. IN the menagarle
department the biz Sea Lion is the principal
wonder, and a real wonder it is 1t Is the lar
eest specimen by far that has been exhibited in
Pennsylvania The lions are unusually large,
the intrepid manner in which they were han

interest. In fact, all the animals are excellent
specimens and several are exceedingly rare.
In the ring the show is unusually strong.
Harry Cooke can Justly lay claim to the cham
piouship in many fcats OF horsemanShip. His
English jockey rdign is something novel. and
as skilful as new. Many Of the leaps and the
bareback riding was superior to anything in the
line ever before shown in this city. In fact
the Jockey riding has never been seen before.
