We are sorry TO learn that Mr.,
James Mulligan, a citizen of this
TO 8n, and a division boss on the
B & 0. r. r., met with a very Sc
we're accident at his residence on
Water street last Tuesday night.
His son-in-law, Mr.. Martin, q
freight conductor on the road, made
in with his train about II p. NJ. and
proceeded to Mr.. Mnlligan's resi-
denee, and awakened him, and
Mr. M started downstairs to let
him in, and slipped on the steps
falling a considerable distance, and
in such a manner as to break one
of his arms.

His pure, patriotic soul revolts
at the dissertation of calling Geo.
Washington, Sc. W." Such pa
triotism ought not to go unreward-
ed. A Senate clerkship, or sich
like, ought to be applied as mol
lent to his lacerated "pheelinks."
He loves George Washington. He
adores his memory. But alas
alas he has sadly neglected the
example of his "little Ratchet" sto-
ry. The similarity between &C.
W." and his new found adorer is
striking. &C W. never told a lie.
This fellow never told truth. In
this, history does not repeat itself.
