Sad Affair.

AT the Galena races Friday, an
unfortunate accident occurred, which
1t is feared, will result in the death of
a young man named Musselman, re-
siding in Old Town, who was u rider
in the mule race, which followed the
free for all. The mules had trotted
the first heat, Musselman's coming in
last. While passing the main cross
ing, leading to Floral Hall, the
young man refined his mule in to tho
left, whom the animal struck the rope
which had been stretched across tho
road, and fell headlong to the ground,
carrying with him his rider, who
was unable to extricate himself in
time to avert the danger. A crowd
rushed to the scene of the accident,
and the young man was quickly
drawn from beneath the animal,
whose ponderous weight was partly
resting upon him. His injuries were
examined by Drs. Crawford aud
Werlich, who were fortunately on
the grounds, and pronounced serious,
though not fatal in their nature. He
was subsequently removed to the
ticket office, and later to his home in
Old Town,

The Juvenile Fight.

A lad narrating a fight in which
he had been engaged, said: "I'll tell
you how it was. You see, Bill and
me went down to the wharf to fish :
and l felt in my pocket and found
my knife, and it was gone; and |
said, Bill, you stole my knife and

Go there YOURSELF and he said it
was no such thing; and said he
was liar, and could whip him if l

rock me to sleep, mother; and said
he was bigger one; and he said |
never had the measles and / said
for him to fork over that knife or I'd
fix him for a tombstone at Cypress
Hills; and he said my grandmother
was no gentleman; and | said he
dersn't take it up; but he did, you
bet; you never-well, you never did;
then | got up again, and he tried to
but he didn't; and | grabbed him
and throwed him down on the top
of me like several bricks; and | tell

my little dog got behind Bill and bit
him; and Bill kicked at the dog, and
the dog ran, and | ran after the dog

ratio of change that appears in Ohio

Bouck VS. Cate.

Judge Cate recently made a speech
up at Medford, in which he arraigned
the Republican party as beng re-
sponsible for the hard times. After
he closed Gen. Gabe Bouck, the
Democratic nominee for Congress,
was called out, and in the course of
his remarks he said "While | sup
port Mr.. Tilden, l shall resort to no
demagogue argument in his favor, and
| therefore cannot agree with Judge
Cate about the responsibility of the
hard times. All over Europe the
times are close as we'll as here, and
the Republican party don't rule there.
Unpleasant as the task may be, fell
low citizens, 1 most candidly tell you

If the country is to enjoy peace in
the future Democracy must be de-
feated. If we are to maintain the
value of our currency Democracy
must be defeated. If the nation is
to live and grow, the enemy of its
peace and prosperity must be defeat
ed. The humblest citizen has a
vital interest at stake in keeping the
Government out of the hands of

GENERAL BENJAMIN HARRISON, re-
Gently Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Indiana, says that State is
almost certain to cast its electoral
vote for Hayes and Wheeler. This
prediction will be better understood
by referring to the election of 1872.
In October of that year Hendricks
was elected Governor by over 1,160
majority. In November that State
gave Grant and Wilson nearly 3d.
900 majority. We do not despair
carrying Indiana in November,
though it is not indispensable to sue
cess to do so.
