SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-A casualty of
quite severe character occurred near the
place of w. w. Norton about 3 miles
from town, OH Wednesday afternoon, the
victims being two we'll known and re-
spccted residents of this city. Mr.. J. G..
LOOMS, father of J. L. LOOMS, and Mrs
Baldwin, mother of Mrs. D. D. Holdridge,
were riding in one horse buggy belong
ing to Mr.. Holdridge, the horse moving
along at an easy trot, when, suddenly, a
colt with tether connecting his head
and one foot foundered out from fence
corner The appari,ion and its awkward
motions, frightened the horse, and he
made a sudden and violent turn to one
side, cramping the buggy and overturn-
ing it. Both the occupants were thrown
violently to the ground, the lady sustain
ing dislocation of one wrist "A broken hip,
one leg broken just above the knee, and
the knee pan split longitudinally, besides
some bruises about the face
Mr.. Loomis was rendered insensi-
BILE by the shock, and remained SO for
some time. His injuries appear to be in
ternal, though it may be found that he
has two or three ribs broken. Both the
unfortunate people are well advanced
in years, and their chances of recovery
or speedy convalescence are thus very
much lessened. The case of Mrs. Bald
win is especially serious, and the proba-
bilities are all against her. This is the
third time that she has been thrown from
q vehicle and suffered fracture of her
limbs. The sufferers were brought to
town the same evening, and are receiving
all the aid that the loving care of friends
and skillful medical treatment can render
them. AT the present writing it is too
early to accurately describe the extent Of
their injuries or the propable conse-
uuencps

THE war in Europe will undoubtedly
create large and remunerative demand
for American products, especially bread

have an upward tendency, and the export

and corn from 49i to GO cents, the market
closing at Sill for wheat. With the pros

THE HosPITAL.-A committee of the
Board of Supervisors of Blackhawk
county, appointed at the January session,
to visit the Insane Hospital at this city,
and examine into the condition and treat
ment of sixteen patients in the institution
from that county, performed that duty in
February, and made their report at the
recent session of the Board at Water
loo. The report is hi ghly complimentary
to the kindness and skill of DR.. Reynolds
and the efficiency of the entire admins
tration of the Hospital We make the fol-
lowing extract:
Although your committee passed
through the Asylum at an unusual hour
for visitors, they found no hesitancy or
delay on the part of the Superintend-
ent in conducting them from ward to
ward and room to room. Thus they
were given an opportunity to judge Ill
what condition the Hospital may be
found at any time. 1t was gratifying to
observe the cleanliness and comfortable
ness of all the departments. In none of
the wards were there evidence that harsh
treatment is ever used, or necessary to be
used in subduing the most refractory pa
tiept. The government of the Hospital
Is mild but firm. The pleasant greetings
which the Superintendent received on Ell
tering each ward, convinced our commit
tee that he fills the relation of kind and
wise father to that large number of I'M
fortunate ones committed to his care
10 the Assistant Physician, Steward and
Matron, as well as the subordinate en-
ployes, must be awarded a share of praise
for the excellent condi ton in which the
Asylum is kept.

WE never had hearticr laugh than
when we picked up the Conservative this
week and saw the manner in which the
editor took the little squib in our last issue
about the hand organ To enjoy the
joke it should be known that the afore-
said squib was intended by us to be fan
cy sketch, a purely imaginary produc.
ton, framed solely to get in Il little rail
cry at our cotemporary's accomplish
ments as musical critic. We had not
the remotest idea that he had really stop.
ped to hear the barrel organ man on the
street, or in fact that he knew anything
about him. AS we said before, our
sketch of the scene was the coinage of
our Imagination, and we did not suppose
that anybody would see it in any other
light. But here comes our neighbor this
week with solemn visage, taking the
whole thing as real, and proceeds to
explain that he did form portion of the
audience of the organ man, tells how
it came about, who were present, just how
much money each threw in the box, and
then winds up with the triumphant and
defiant remark:
And just here we will remark that We
have several more nickles to bestow I'M
der like circumstances.
Now we beg to assure our innocent
brother, that so far from taking excep-
ton to his conduct in this affair, we APP
plaud it heartily. 1t was noble, and
shows that our mel ghbor has a heart that
feels for others Affections. We are real
ly glad that nickels are so plenty 9Th
him, and that they are to be bestowed so
worthily. But while thus testifying to
our brothers benevolence, it must be
confessed that he is lacking in one thing,
and that is sense of humor. We are
afraid that he cannot distinguish joke
from funeral procession.

OUR contemporary, the Conservative,
very generously comes to the defense of
Judge $. j. W. Tabor, Fourth Auditor of
the Treasury, against the assault of the
Chicago Times upon his good pane and
integrity. The Times, though one of the
most mcndacious sheets in the country.
did not dare to attack the honor of Judge
Tabor squarely, by specific allegation of
corruption, but said that cit was felt" that
he "must have known" all about Robesons
alleged manipulations of naval appropri,
atoms, and that his removal has been
fixed for the first of may. All who know
the sturdy integrity and inflexible honor,
which is the rule of Judge Tabor's life,
as well as the unostentatious manner of
his living, will realize the injustice of the
Times innuendos. Our contemporary does
itself honor ip defending the good name
of Judge TABOR. though it could do nc
less, in truth and justice; but the charac
ter of his assailant in this case makes the
vindication almost unnecessary.
