Then and Now,

The New York San publishes the follow
ing extracts from the Declaration of indie
pendence, to refresh the memories of the
champions of the tyranny toward Louisiana.
and to let them see how their conduct COM
pares with that Of Great Britain towards the
colonies hundred years ago. Here are
some passages which ought to be remem-
bered:
"When long train of abuses and usurpa-
tons, pursuing invariably the same object,
evinces desire to reduce them under abso-
Lutte dcspotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to threw off such Government. \
The history of the present King of Great
Britain is history Of repeated injuries aud
usurpaIions all having, in direct object the
establishment of an absolute tyranny over
these States. To prove this, let facts he sub
mitted to q candid world.
| "fIe has sent hitler swarms Of officers to
harass our people and eat ont their substance
He has kept among Us, in times of peace
standing armies, without the consent of our
Legislature.
'He has affected TO render the military in
dependent OF, and superior to, the civil power
He has combined with others to subject us
to jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution,
and meteorological by our laws; giving
his assent to their acts OF pretended legsla-
ton.
"ln every stage of these expressions, we
have petitoned for redress in the most hum
bic terms; our repeated petitions have been
answered only by repeated injury. A prince
whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define tyIant, is unfit 10 Ice tho
ruler of free people"
These were among the grievances OF our
forefathcrs q century ago, and this is tie de.
scription of George Ill. Who can read them
candidly without coniessing that they apply
with literal truth TO the situation in Lousi
ana to-day, and that Grant answers precisely
to the portrait Of the British tyrant, who's,
obstinacy and violence drove the people o.
the colonies into revolution

ALMOST 4 TRAGEDY.-An affair occurred
in Abingdon District, few days ago, which
nearly resulted in a tragedy. A gay colored
Lothara named John Walters, became en-
amorcd of n young colored woman, whose
name is Bishop, and under promise of mar
riagc ruined and deserted her, transferring
his affections to another. The deceived and
deserted dusky maiden did not sit like Pa
thence on monument, smiling at grief" but
arming herself with doublc.barrcled shot
gun, she repaired TO the house where her
iaithless lover was even then paying atten-
tions TO her rival, Posting herself outside
the door she waited for his appearance, and
az he eft the house she took deliberate aim
at hini and pulled the trigger. Fortunately
for him, the cap snapped. Realizing for once
at least the force of the apothegm that delays
are dangerous, he started for the woods like
a frightened rabbit. Miss Bishop raised the
hammer of the gun, levellcd at him again,
and again it would not 60 Off Still intent
upon bagging her game, she tried the second
barrel, which went off with bang, sending
a load of shot after the faithless fugitive, but
he was by this time too far off TO be injured.

obtained warrant for the arrest of the girl.

debted to Mr.. George w. Chlds, publisher,
of Philadelphia, for a copy of the Public Led

of valuable information and statistics, which
can not fail 10 be very useful and convenient
for reference during the year. The almanac

printed. Accompanying this neat little vol
ume is Photographic copy Of the Lcdger,

although it cannot be read by the unassist-

FATAL ACCIDENT.
On Thursday of last week Mr. Isaac Stubbs
who resided near Peach Bottom, York Co., Pa,
fell through a hatchway in his barn and broke
his neck. Mr., Stubs was an aged gentleman
and was highly esteemed by every one that
knew him. His tragic end has cast gloom
over the community where he resided and his
sad death has created void in his circle of ac.
quaintances that cannot be easily filled

the meat house of Wm II. Day, Esq, near Pros.

shad, and at the same time went TO his chicken

thieves have not yet been arrested. About two
weeks ago some of the light fingered gentry
stole valuable hive of bees from Mr.. j. j.
Warner, who lives near Muttonburg. They
likewise stole lot of Mr.. Warmers chickens,

their proper home, which is the Pcnitcntiary,

no distant day.
POLE CAT CASE.
Not long ago gentleman who resides near
here and lives alone, was one night sitting by
his table reading, whom he was startled by hear.
ing noise at his elbow. Looking around he
saw pole cat on his table, busiIy engaged in
gnawing the meat from chine bone that was
on plate on the table The man saws that he
thought the easiest way to get rid of his rather
unwelcomc visitor would be The best. So he
quietly opened his door and taking seat as far
away from his catship as he well could, he
awaited the exit of the intruder. AS soon as
the little fellow had trimmed the meat from
the bone he jumped from the table and quietly
took his leave through the open door, without
leaving souvenir behind him.

MARYLAND MILITIA The report Of Adj
jutant General Frank A. Bond to the GOV.
ernor and COMMANDMENT Chief of the mill
tia of Maryland, has been received. The total
military force of the State amounts to 1874
men, of whom there are 81 commissioned
and 100 non. commissioned officers, 11S mu-
sicians and S52 privates. There are two
regiments Of infantry, the Fifth and Sixth,
and one battalion of cavalry, in Baltimore
city, composing the First Brigade one COM
pany of infantry in Cecil county, and one
company of cavalry in Anne Arundel county.
The appropriation for the support of these
military organizations is very small, and but
for the aid eff the men themselves, who are
heavily taxed, an effective organization could
not be kept up. General Bond, however
appears TO have used TO the best advantage
the deficient means allowed by the Lcgisla-
ture, and the National Guard of Maryland is
In more serviceabc condition than it has
been for several years.

FATAL RAILROAD AocIDENT.-O Thurs
day afternoon of last week, about o'clock,
the limited express train from New York for
Washington, ran over an open wagon mt
Perrymansville, and instantly killed Mr..
John b. Foy. Mr. Foy was q magistrate,
and had been attending to some business at a
house north ofthe railroad, and in going TO
his own home had to cross the railroad track.
He was near the track when the train was
heard TO be approaching, and Mr.. James Ii.
Michael, one of the proprietOrs of the store
near the railroad, and another man upon the
store porch called loudly TO him 10 stop and
avoid the danger. Mr.. Foy either did not
hear or understand their calls and continued
on. The horse had just cleared the track
when the train came rushing on at rapid
speed, and the engine striking the wagon,
broke IL into pieces, and Mr.. F0y was
thrown with violence against Il fence post by
the roadside, nearly twenty feet distant and
| instantly killed. The wagon was broken
away from the shafts, and, strange to say, the
| horse escaped unframed. The maugled re-
| mains of the unfortunate man were carried
to his home, and a jury of inquest summon ed
the same afternoon by Justice Harris, OF
| Periymansville, rendered u verdict of acct
dental death. The jury do not censure the
railroad company, the whistle having been
blown and due notice given, but attribute
the accident to Mr., Foy having been under
the influence Of liquor at the time it occur
red.
The deceased was fifty five years Old high
ly respected, and he leaves wife and severa
children.
