THE Boston TRAVELLER Civ es us all a
punch because spectators held back so
much Of last years wheat crop. 1t says
'1f the people of the West had sold their
wheat and paid the, bills for clothing,
boots and shoes and other Eastern goods
as they became due, the whole country
would have been the better for it," The
wheat crop was not held back to the ex-
tent that the Traveller intimates, and
those that owned what has been stored
have been pretty well paid for any in-
justice they did to the general business
of the country. There has been but little
grain in the hands Of farmers for some
months past. In this. section farmers
need money, and but few can afford to
hold their grain, even when there Is a
good prospect for rise.

Two weeks ago, white Mr.. 8. Young
and family, of Uniontown, all of whom
are well known to many of our mer-
chants here, were coming home from
church in spring wagon, an accident
Ihappened them which is OF a more than
ordinary occurrence, and which, it is
I even yet feared, will prove fatal to one
and perhaps two OF the party. Those in
the carriage were Mr.. and Mrs. Young,
their daughter, aged about fourteen
years, and two sons, aged respectively
ten and twelve.
1t would appear that Mrs. Young and
her daughoer were occupying the back
seat there being two seats in The convey
ance, which is OF open build, and Mr..
Young and the two boys the front seat.
The team was going alongat q slow pace
which Mr. Young thought to quicken by
a slight touch OF the whip. AT this the
team made u sudden dash forward, up
setting the rear seat and throwing Mrs.
Young and her daughter backward to the
ground. Mrs. Y fell on the back of her
head and on her shoulders, breaking her
collar-bone and receiving three very
severe cuts in her head, ali of which bled
proiusely. So severe, indeed, was the
shock that she was entirely unconscious.
The daughter, although no bones were
broken, was very severely hurt on dit
ferent parts OF the body, and was also
so badly summed as to be entirely un-
conscious.
The team was Immediately stopped,
and Mr.. Y. and. the little boys ran TO the
aid of the wife, mother and sister. So
shocking was the scene, and SO severely
did IL affect the boys That one OF them
almost instantancously tainted away
and was soon followed by his brother,
who was also overcome by the heart
rending sight. AS Mr.'Young thus gazed
upon his entire family, each stretched
out at full length on the road, with nos
house or q helping hand within sight, he,
too, was in hit condition to complete
the picture by "keeling" over and
stretching himself out like the rest.
He didn't do 1t, however, but hurriedly
procured such assistance as was obtain
able, placed the apparently lifeless
forms Of his wife aud daughter in the
wagon and drove to his home, five miles
distant, leaving the two boys, still un-
conscious, at the side OF the road.
Reaching home, completely exhausted
through which he had passed, he entire
Iy forgot the little fellows until nearly
dark, when, just as he was about 10 start
with his team in search of them, he was
surprised and delighted to see them
trudging unconcernedly up the road,
having walked the entire distance alone.

A horrible tale, IL true, comes from q
tenement house, corner uf Jones and
Broadway streets. 1t is no less than the
slow death, by starvation, of a white wo-
man locked up for seven days and
nights by her husband till she was re-
duced to skin and bone, and life all but
gone when accidently discovered by
neighbor, who, from a'window, and with
the aid of a pair of glasses, looked into
the room OF the imprisoned victim, and
there saw her lying on her bed, pale,
weak and dying. For week the neign-
bors missed the woman from about The
yard and premises, and could not ac-
count for her absence. Not only that,
but there was q mystery about the com.
ing and going OF the old maa; he left
regularly every morning, locked the door
after him as lie went, aud in the even
ing he returned in drunken, stupid
condition. He had been heard to beat
his wife prior to the time she was
missed, and no doubt infected severe
bruises, as her body now indicates. Yes
| tereay afternoon Officer ODonnell, who
lives in the neighborhood, was called
Upon to inquire into tue matter, and he
found the woman locked in small
room, stretched upon the bed, exhausted
and apparently on the verge OF death.
He instantly went for DR.. Stlvers, who,
wnen NE got there, pronounced the Wo-
man not only dying of starvation, but
also from wounds and bruises SHE must
have received from some one. BY his
advice the husband was placed under
arrest to await the results OF his wife's
| treatment, and which can be but fatal.

states that his vile was subject to fbs,
and had fallen out OF bed, and also dow Ii
the stairs at different times. SO tar from
attempting to get rid Of her by starva-

THE tendency to move to the suburbs
Our over-crowded tenement houses are
being relieved by many of their occu-
pants purchasing homes in the new SUBJ
urban towns on the easy terms offered
by the proprietors. Real estate agents
who are engaged in these sales are more
successful than in any former attempts
Of this kind. The increase in Cincn-
natps manufacturing interests is bring
ing large additions to our working
classes, and as these can not be accom-
modated within the city in comfortable
manner, they necessarily find their way
10 the suburbs. A false impression, TO
some extent, prevails in the city on the
subject of encouraging this movement.
Many persons residing within the corpo-
ration teel that there is a conflict of inter-
est between the city and her suburbs.
These forget that all depend on Cincin-
natl and that a person residing at one OF
these outside points is to all prac-
tical purposes as much citizen
Of the city and as fully interested in her
prospects as If he resided within a
square Of the Post-ofice. 1t is true he
does not pay taxes into the city treasury
on the property owned outside, but
neither does the city have the expense OF
protecting it. In this smaller matter the
suburban town regulates its own affairs,
but its people are in all important partic-
nlars entirely dependent on, and their
interests fully identified with that Of the
'pity itself. The greater proportion Of
them find daily employment in the City,
and those otherwise engaged derive
their subsistence from persons who do.
Our suburban retreats supply what Gin
pinnati can furnish in no other way,
namely, cheap and comfortable homes
for working people at moderate prices.
This is one. Of the most important con-
siderations for manufacturing commu-
nifty, and failing in her ability to supply
these within the city, as can Philadelphia
and other places that we might mention,
Cincinnati must do it by giving all pos
sible encouragement to building up the
suburbs and to affording facilities for
the most rapid and cheap transit to
them. Whenever a street railroad from
spoint outside the city proper is pro-
Iected, and desire expressed to reach
the heart Of the city, the argument is at
once made that these enterprises en-
courage the people to move eatside and
should not meet with any favor at the
hands Of the city. AS forcible as this
argument can be made by those inter-
ested in the existing roads, 1t is narrow
and mistaken in all particulars. Gin
cinnati is too great city to be hampered
by such contracted policy, and none
but the very shallow are given to q Sup
port Of it from honest impulses. We
hope soon to see disposition manifested
by the authorities to give the fullest
facilities to railroads to all our neigh
boring cities and towns to reach the
heart OF Cincinnati without hindrance,
and with such freedom from unneces-
sary restrictions as viii guarantee the
cheapest transit to ell pointas

To the Editor of the St. CrOix Avis.

OlT,
In 1866 it was thought necessary to
appoint a Veterinary Surgeon in the ju-
risdiction of Frederiksted with a salary
of $780,, and one was appointed,
although at the time we had an old and
experienced Veterenarian here, the late
Mr.. Langballe. This arrangement did
not last long, probably because there was
not work enough.for two Veterinarians,
and Mr.. Langballe continued to prac-
tice till his death to the general s~atisfac-
ton of the whole community. But since
then nothing has been done to fill his place.
It was said in the Council during the last
Budget discussions, if I am not mistaken,
that we did not require any, and that con-
sequently the money required for his sal
ary-which it was understood must be
more than that of the late veterinarian, viz.
S6O-could be saved. Now, many tax
payers besides myself, all interested in
saving, are of opinion that it is bad econo-
my TO save the petty sum of q couple
hundred dollars, at the risk of losing thou
sands and we beg you to give publicity
to the above in order to bring the matter
to public notice.
Yours respectfully
