around as TO resemble the threads of bolt of
iron; but the unequal distribution Of the
threads clearly demonstrate the impossibi!ity
of its being an iron bolt, some Of the cuts being

DISASTROUS RUNAWAY.

A Carriage Badly Broken Up-Narsou
Escape Of tho Occupants.
Yesterday forenoon, Mr.. Frank thinner
man, grocer of No. 6l2 West Second street,
was returning from funeral In double
coach accompanied by his wife and daugh-
ter. At Ninth and French streets the horses
became frightened and ran down French
street.
At the corner of Sixth street the horses
ran into the gutter, and dashed the car
risge against tree, breaking off half Of
the top, and throwing Mr.. Zimmerman, bis
wife and daughter violently upon the pave
ment, Mr. q. was cut severely OH the top
of bis head, his wife suffered severe con.
fusion over the left eye, and his daughter
was bruised about the hands and arms. All
were terribly frightened, but their injuries,
fortunately, were not serious, and they were
enabled to walk to the house Of 9 friend
near by, where they received proper atten-
ton.
The driver, meanwhile, clung to the
horses, and climbed out upon the pole be-
tween them. Below Fourth street he
guided them up on pile of lumber and
checked their progress to such an extent,
that several men instantly seized hold of
and secured them. The carriage was badly
wrecked, but the driver and horses were an
injured. The team was owned by Chas.
Horn, carriage manufacturer.

DELAWARE CRY, Oct. q, 1876.
Friday was gala day with the Demos-
racy OF this place and vicinity. The people
came In droves from the country and adjoining
towns, and al 8 o'clock the steamer ''Jersey
Blue" came from New Castle with three
hundred men and hne brass band. After
parade three-quarters of mile in length,
the large crowd assembled around the
speakers stand and listened to able addresses
from Senator Eli Salisbury, George Gray
and DR.. George Troup Maxwell of New

ofthe meeting, Fred. Brady Yice-Presideut

MEETING AT ST. GEORGES.
The meeting of the Democrats Of Red
Lion Hundred at this place on Saturday
evening last was success in every partic-
ular. Their dne hall was crowded TO ito
utmost capacity. The meeting was called
TO order at 8 O'Clock, and William Mullin,
Esq, Of Delaware City, was elected Presi-
dent, 8. B Sutton, Esq, Vice President and
2. q. McWhorfon Secretary, after which
Hon. James Q. Vallandingham Of Ohio was
introduced as the frat speaker. He enter
tained the audience for an hour and 4 half
with one OF tho most powerful speeches that
1t has been the privilege Of this neigbbor-
hood to listen to, delivering sledge-hamner
blows on the misdesds Of the present admin
istration that csused some of Ito most ardent
supporters to Vince under his scathing chas-
tisement.
He attacked the strongholds of the Republi-
can orators, exposing their ignorance IN the
assertions that . Democratic Administra-
tion would pay off the rebel debts, demon
stratinE that such cause could only be
pursued by Constitutional amendment.
This speech throughout abounded in elo-
quence, moderation and sound reason, that
the closest attention of all pres
cut, and elicIled rounds of applause.
James h. Myers, Of Virginia, was the
next speaker introduced, who delivered an
able argument.
The meeting was the most enthusiastic
affair that has been held in this town for
many years. and clearly shows that the
Democratic freemen Of ked Lion have gone
to work in earnest and intend to roll up
majority on the 9TH of November that will
send glad tidings to her sister hundreds.

POLITICAL POINTS.

On account of the excitement concerning the
election, and charges having been made that
the Returning Board of Canvassers of Louisi-
ana were unfair, the heads of the two politi-
csl campaign committees requested the pres
ence of number of distinguished gentlemen
from the North at the official canvass OF the
vote of that State The following were .among
those invited, who have already gone to New
Orleans for that purpose: William M. Evarts

Little Men.

Not long before his death Canon
Kingsley drew attention to the surpris-
ing number of small young men to be
seen in an English crowd. According
to him, il was sign of the deterioration
of the race. But there are two ways of
looking at everything, and, for the COM
fort and satisfaction of small people, we
would point out that it might almost be
taken as an indication of intellectual
progress. Many--we might almost say
most-of the great men of history have
been men of short stature, from the days
of that ancient philosopher who. as the
story goes, was so dimin utive that he had
to carry lead in his pockets to prevent
his being blown away. Canute the
Great, for example, was g singularly
smal man; Napoleon, too, was little;
Nelson had no height to boast; and the
great Condo was short enough Hide
brant-G Gregory the Seventh-the might
lest of all the Popes, was also quite
diminutive person. Then, among men
of letters, poets and philosophers. Mon
taigne, the essayist, was little; so was
Pope-"a little crooked thing that asks
questions;" SO was Dryden; so was DR..
Watts, who insisted, as we all, know, on
the mind being the stature of the man
and SO was Scarron, who, abiding at
once to his ill-health and his little size,
called himself "an abridgment of human
1niseries.' Will any one, after such
names SIS these land the list might be
indefinitely e1tended-look down on
little men with dis lain
