lady, was returning home from Mount Tabor
Church, near the Hickory, his horse became
frightened and ran away Mr. Alexander
and the lady were thrown out of the buggy,
but he held on to the lines and was dragged q
considerable distance before letting go. The
horse ran down the road, and the buggy COL
lidcd with a wagon in front of Mrs Robin
sons house, breaking one of the wheels and
otherwise injuring the buggy. The horse
was stopped at this point by some young
men. The occupants of the buggy were both
somewhat bruised, but not seriously hurt.

We have never known an election in Har-
ford county which was attended with so lit
tie excitement ms the present. While this
fact is gratifying in many respects, it has in it,
nevertheless, an element of danger to the
Democratic cause, since it is calculated to lead
many Democrats to refrain from voting, un-
der the impression that their ticket will GER
tainly be elected without their aid. This is
greatly TO be regretted, because it is impossi-
BILE 10 foresee what force the Republicans may
rally4ogether upon election day, and the re-
suit may he the defeat of portion of the
Democratic ticket or at least large reduc-
tion of the Democratic majority. Even the
latter event would be something to be de-
plored for it would strengthen the Repub.
lican party in the county, and by giving it
increased hope of success in the near future,
compel harder struggle by the Democrats
next year. Experience has shown that the
colored vote, which is an important factor in
our elections, is entirely under the control of
the Republicans, and under the instructions
and leadership of Baltimore custom house Of
ficials, we may expect that the colored braves
will come up, as heretofore, in solid phalanx,
to vote as directed by those who claim their
suffrages as right
The present apathy may prove to be fatal
folly for men who desire the perpetuaton of
Democratic rule. Every Democrat, therefore,
should regard it as an imperative duty to
cast his vote, next Tuesday, for the nominees
of his party The gentlemen composing the
the ticket at the head of our paper were Sc
lected by majority of the party as its can
didates, and being unexceptionable in point
of character and ability, they are entitled to
and should receive every Democratic vote.

DISEASE AMONG SwINE.-A singular
and fatal disease has broken out among
the swine in Talbot county, Nd. 1t is de-
scribed by the ST. Michael's Comet as follows:
Sometimes the diseased hogs have a meas
ly eruption all over tie hide, and Others are
without it. In some there seems to be dis
ease of the stomach and limbs In some
cases, the hogs will refuse to eat for days or
weeks before they die; at other times they
die suddenly, and without any apparent loss
of appetite"

DEMOCRATIC PRosPECTs-A Washing
ton correspondent of the New York World
writes
GAIL the advices Mt hand in both parties
from the November States very generally
agree that they will go Democratic, with the
exception possibly of Massachusetts. Some
Republicans writing from there believe that
Governor Castor will be elected. Senator
Hoar, however, is of the opinion that Govern.
or Rice will carry the State by reduced ma.
jority, from the fact that it is an "otf year" in
politics. From Wisconsin the indications
point to most decisive victory fer the Demo
cratic ticket"
