tant that the stamps be cancelled. Attention
to this matter may save further trouble.

THE YOUNG MEMS BUILDING AssoCIA :
TIoN.-A Building Association with the above
title went into permanent organization on
last Friday night with the following officers:
President, w. Fl. H. Lynn; Secretary and
Treasurer, G. l.. Cook; Directors, Messrs. Thos.
D. Ransom, W. Il. Weller, w. A. Burnett, E.
NJ. Gushing, W. L. Bumgardner and Geo. r.
Baker; Trustees, David A. Kayser, Philip H..
Trout and E. w. Hartman.
This association goes into operation under
the most favorable auspices. Already over 1900
shares have been subscribed, and the officers
elected are men in every way competent to I'LL
the positions they occupy.
The association whose official existence ends
on the 2sth of this month, has had an unusual-
ally prosperous career, and its success was the
foundation OF the organization which now COM
mences. For men OF limited capital, and for
all others. these associations furnish the most
certain and profitable investment. Inc month
w outlay is so small that almost every one can
afford to take some stock and not even miss It.,
and in the end, quite snug little sum is reali-
zed. Besides being good investment to the
depositors, it is the means OF enabling many to
erect comfortable and substantial houses at a
comparatively small cost: There are few
more shares yet to be taken, and we advise all,
and especially the young men, to invest their
spare change.
This association commenced with larger
maid in stock than any organization OF the kind
that has been instituted here. It possesses all
the elements of unexampled success, and it is
q well deserved compliment to the tlnancierlng
and administrative capacities of our eonfcre Of
tho V;ud;cator. that he was chosen President.
He has peculiar qualifications for the duties Of
his responsible position, and we nave no doubt
will meet the highest expectations OF inc stock
holders of the institution:

FRIaHTFUL AcCIDENT.-On Monday even
ing last, Lewis IIarman, aged about IL years.
youngest son of the late Gen. w. Fl. Hartman,
was thrown from a horse he was riding and had
his collar bone badly broken, and his shoulder
very much bruised. He was in company with
another youth, about the same age, and it is
supposed that they had been trying the metal
of their steeds, when Harman's horse got the
start OF him, and came plungins down Angus
ia street at rapid rate. There was two-
horse wagon and team passing near Maj. A.
kidneys residence, and a one-horse wagon
standing on the opposite side OF the street. The
horse young Hartman was riding, rushed against
the front OF the tongue Of the two-horse wagon,
tearing the animals shoulder severely, and the
Shock of the contact threw him over on the
one-horse wagon, upsetting it, and so falling as
to protect young Hartman from the fall OF his
horse. By this fortunate occurrence the life OF
the boy was no doubt saved. As 1t was, he fell
upon the curbstone, breaking his collar
bone, as stated, and tumbled under the wagon.
The horse, wagon and boy were mixed up con-
siderably, and at firs., it was thought the youth
had been killed. He was picked up and taken
to the residence OF DR.. Waddell, who set and
dressed the fracture, after which, he was con-
vcyed to the residence of his mother.

liberal, high-minded citizen. and entitled to a
generous compensation for the admirable man
her in which he conducts the important bust
ness of his office. The Press of the city is par

the uniform courtesy shown its represen tatives,

OLD MAIDs.-We overheard vivaolous
young lady say the other day in s2eertns ana
supercilious manner, .'oh, there will be NOBODY
there but old maids" and we went on our way
in deep reflection We don't know to what
place she especially referred, but she mlshe
have meant heaven, we sometimes think.
We are not of that class who believe in sneer-
ing or contemptuous illusions to ladies who
have attained certain age and have seen prop
er to evadc tile perp!exities and cares OF Var-
ried life. Their existence is probably devoted
to wider range of charities an! more cxpan-
sive philanthrophy than that of Their married
sisters, and we doubt not but that if faithful
record be kept of those who will go in at the
gate of the Celestial city, quite a large and
worthy delegation will be found from the old
maids.
II unfaltering devotion to duty. if constant
remembrance of the neglected and friendless-
if patient, unwearied watching at the bedside
of suffering aud anguish, be claims upon the
reverence and respect Of their fellows, they in
higher degree than others OF their sex, merit
and must receive it. We don't always know
the heart history OF the old maid. In many cases
her life of loneliness and isolation Is not the
result Of failure to attract admirers In the
younger and fresher days of her youth, but Is
the solemn sacrifice she has offered to the niem-
ory of one whom alone she loved and could love,
or else a self renuncietion for the sake OF some
principle of duty or of right.
Maybe in the solitude of her room at times,
the stern face may relax and the eyes mosten,
as the soft chimes of memory's bells ring in her
ears and the plaintive minor tone OF sadness
or regret is heard to mingle with their music.
Out Of that misty elfand of remembrance may
throAg the shadowy forms and features OF many
a gallant cavalier who did cheerful and knight
ly homage at her feet, and enc, perchance who
years since laid down quietly to his rest with a
final heart throb for her ard whispered pray
er for reunion with her in that blessed coun-
try across the river. Oh, no, we will never
sheer at old maids, or speak lightly of her who
bravely and self reliantly walks alone along
life's,rough and uneven pathway. Somewhere
beyond the sunset and night, of to-day; some
where, when the fitful fever of this poor life is
done, the one so lonely aud so friendless may
meet host of loved ones-age no longer sub
iect OF jest and sneers, the wrinkles all gone,
the quantity fashioned dress supplied by the
robe of the redeemed, no longer an old maid,
but
ga fair maiden in her fathers mansion,
Clothed with Celestial grace.
