The excitement of the election being over the people have settled down to a careful attention 10 their usual avoca- tions and peaceful pursuits This is an of year" and there is to be no mort political stir or turmoil till October of next year. There is so little to be done this political year that even our Wor- shipful Legislature will have to engage the services of brass band to keep heir sessions from being hopelessly monoto- nous. .s l..
 But not everything is quiet and peace able in even these dull times. As our lookup hears completion it would seem that some of our Celtic and Afri- can population, fearing that the time is short in which they can engage in fight ing. with impunity, are making good use of their time in laying up.a store of bruises, black eyes, etc An instance of this occurred few days ago at the Vile near Hog pen hill. Marshall Cam dis ports himself with 3 mule of the usual vicious propensities, which, if he could get the chance. would kick the sky-light out of church steeple. John Carroll an Irish American, who is good fellow when he is "John, and Cam were both feeling gloriously. John seized the mule by the bit, when lively times en- sued. At length Cam got out of his chariot and dealt John side winder, !" which knocked him as ''stiff as macke- rel" and cracked his jaw bone; where
 upon John had his damages repaired by surgeon, and Cam was treated to a fine of S7 and costs. John is believed to have been as much to blame as Cam, but as he had to nurse his jaw twas thought his punishment was about equal to Cams. There must be an end to this fun. The lock-up will, in 8 few days. be ready, and will enfold such parties in it's cool embrace. and they be obliged to ''cool their heels" in its deep recesses.

A SAD AFFAIR,

On Sunday morning, Mrs Thos. Doran of Greenwood Avenue. was lighting a fire, and as the kindlings were not dry enough to burn rapidly she poured on some rock oil. Suddenly, the oil can, which she was holding in her hands flew apart with loud noise, and Mrs. Doran became wrapped in flames, as did also her two children, Joseph and Eddie; who Were in the room at the time Mrs Doran imme diately ran out doors, with the baby, which she placed on the ground, screamed and threw herself down on her face. MT. Doran and the two oldest boys, who were at the barn, immediately ran to Mrs. D's assistance and by means of tub of water and a coat succeeded in putting out the flames, but not until both mother and child were seriously burned. In the meantime, all in the house was confusion. Mrs. D's daugh, ters hearing their mother scream, rushed down stairs, and saw thelr little brother Joseph burning, and the carpet and ta- ble on fire. With great presence of mind the eldest daughter rushed for a blanket, with which she enveloped the burning child, and succeeded in extin- gushing the fire, The carpet was burn cd so that it fell apart when lifted, and one of the table-leaves was burned.
 Dr. Barber was called as soon as pos sibie, and in the meantime everything was done, by the neighbors, that could be done, to relieve the sufferings of the mother and children who were burned, and to comfort the father and tue re maining children.
 At sbout half-past ten A. M, the young est child was relieved from its misery and at abont 1 P. M. little Joseph followed his brother 10 the better land.
 It was hoped by all that Mrs. Doran' 8 injuries were not going to prove fatal. as she had strong constitution. and great desire to live, but about P. Nj. she ceased to breathe. and passed away quietly, with her family and friends weeping around her bedside.
 Mrs Doran was very excellent lady, kind mother and devoted wife.
 This is a severe blow to the family that still remain. and who have the sin cerc sympathy of the entire community --Bethd Press.
