On the morning of the 18th inst, Bar
tholamew McManee, alias Full Ropes, met
with serious accident which came near
costing his life. While decending the stairs
between Mr.. ]. Gaines tailor shop and the
Dental office he fell, striking his head on
the edge of the door below, cutting three
horrible gashes, and as was supposed frac-
turing his skull. He was picked up insen-
sible and carried on a shutter to the Amer
lean House, where medical aid was render
ed by DR.. Mckinney, who pronounced his
condition critical.
The rumor comes to us that toward even
ing while the boys were standing around
the bed side of Nc (who was still uncon-
cious) meditating on the probabilities of an
Irish wake and funeral, one of them con.
ceived the idea of testing the matter of life
and death, and done SO by asking Nc i
he would have something to drink
This our informant says had the desired
effect, as there was to the surprise of all un
mistakeable signs of life for the first tim'
in ten hours his eyes opened to see tina
"drink" .and from that on he has been re
| covering.

F. Beatty's mode of doing business, and
which evinces his confidence in the superb

He warrants his pianos and organs for six
years, gives five day test trial, and re-
funds money if purchaser is not satisfied
By this means his instruments are brought
into competition with others, and invaria-
bly, come ont victorious. Address all COM

We had the pleasure of being present
and hearing a part of the entertainment
given by Prof Dilts' pupils at the Lecture
Hall on Friday night To say We were ex-
ceedingly pleased at every thing we saw
and heard scarcely expresses our feelings
Should we attempt to criticise We would
say that we did not hear enough owing
partly to the remote seat we occupied from
the stage, and in some cases the undertone
in which some of the parts were delivered.
Experience and training will correct this.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
night the hall was densely packed which
we consider compliment to the worthy
Professor, his Assistants and we'll reg
ulated school. We were glad to see the
interest manifested and it is undoubtedly
encouraging to both teachers and pupils.

sands of dollars on freight by manufaetur-
ing in Hopewell, it is but natural that they
establish there. But the financial condi-
tion of the country for the last four years
has heen such that capital has done moth
ing or sought nothing in the way of enter
prise, but We believe better state Of af-
fairs is beginning to dawn upon us. Cap
ital is shrewd and careful and generally Sc
lects such places as are the most remuner-
ative where the raw material costs the least
or large amounts can be saved in transpor
,ation. Such place is Hopewell. Hard
tight times have bad a tendency to reverse
the old order Of some things. The time is
coming in order to save money the furnace;
foundry and glass factory must go to
the raw material, not the raw material TO
the furnace and factory, and as this must
soon be the order of things We predict that
in a few years Chalfant's Station and Glen
ford will be important glass manufacturing
points.
