Foreign Affairs.

A Panama despatch confirms the report
Of the assassination Of President Moreno,
of Ecuador, who was stabbed in his palace
at Quito by an officer named Rayo, whom
he had displaced, and was also shot by two
young men who accompanied Rayo, the
latter being killed by the sentry. Another
report is that revolution was gotten up
by General Palanco in favor of il liberal
candidate for the Presidency, but nothing
is positively known concerning it. No
disturbances had taken place up to the
10th instant.
Peace has come to Herzegovina. The
timely interference Of the Great Powers
has made the Turkish Government cease
from its persecution of the Christian
Herzegovinans, and they are to be allowed
religious freedom. This is the chief point
for which the insurgents were eontending,
so that the result is a practical victory for
them. The Turks still nominally hold
sway over the province, but with so feeble
grasp that its ultimate independence
cannot be far Off

A Frightful Accident.

The following story is told in connec-
ton with an accident that occurred during
the heavy rains Of July, at Big Bend
tunnel, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road. The ''dirt tunnels" being liable IT,
cave in, the engineers are therefore more
careful to look out for danger ahead in
passing through them. 1t was the exer-
else of this care that probably saved an
immense loss Of life 10 this instance, as
the train had been brought down to very
low rate Of speed on approaching the tun-
mel. 1t seems that the end Of one of the
large timbers supporting the roof had be-
come detached and fallen to the track a
few feet within the tunnel, and the pilot
Of the engine struck it, the jar of which
loosened the other timbers and large
quantity Of earth and stones, and the
whole mass came tumbling down upon the
locomotive, breaking it to pieces. The
fireman was completely crushed, and could
not have lived moment, while the engi-
neer was thrown forward iu a standing
position, with his throat across the reverse
bar, and large timber fell across the back
OF his neck, rendering IL impossible for him
to move. He had some tobacco in his
mouth at the time, aud SO tightly was he
caught that he could not cxpectorate, and
and could only swallow with difficulty; in
deed, he could scarcely raise his voice
above whisper, There he remained for
six hours in the pitchy darkness, while
every second or two small pieces Of dirt
aud gravel from the roof fell down by his
side, conveying the impression momenta-
rily that another mass was about 10 fall
and crush him completely. All the time
the shouts Of those outside could be heard,
as with shovel and axe they forced their
way to his rescue, which, however, seemed
to him beyond all hope. When they e.
nally reached him kswas completely ex-
hausted, and lost consciousness in a swoon
which lasted several hours

sg- EXAMINE THE DRILL. -dsa


Your attention is respectfully called to the
great and important improvements made in
the Farmers Favoriten Grain and Compost
Drill for 1876. Do not invest in any until
you have seen and examined the IMPROVED.
We have reduced the weight ONE HUNDRED
POUNDS. We have transferred the Fertilizer
Attachment to the rear, and so perfected the
Drill by our improvement as to make the dis.
tribution perfectly ereH and uniform. We
now use both running wheels in the driving
process The machine is so nicely balanced
that all the freight is removed from the horse
neck. All the attachments are thrown out OF
gear before teeth leave the ground by the
same motion that raises the teeth. The fric.
ton has been so lessened that we are not only
enabled to offer you the lightest in freight
but also the highest in drdft-Grain and Com.
post Drill in the market.
Would respectfully refer to few Of the

and purchased the Drill last season, many Of
whom tried it in competition with the Keller,
