A SAD ACCIDENT happened last
Sunday morning to Mrs. Eason, who
lives with her daughter, Mrs. II. C..
Piatt, in this place. Mrs. Eason had
stepped out doors and was walking in
side the door yard when she slipped
and fell in such manner as to frac-
ture the .femnr, or thigh bone, close
up to its articulation with the bones
of the trunk. This is one of the worst
kinds of fracture, and is always diff
cult to treat, inducing a shortened limb
if not entire loss of its use. In this
case, the sufferer being an old lady of
seventy-siX, the ordeal is rendered
doubly trying and dangerous. Drs.
Maynard and Ensign attended and
rendered all possible aid.

The PRESIDENTS SALARY. - The
House Committee on the Appropriation
Bill only provided twenty-five thou
sand dollars for the salary of President
and accompany it with provision re-
pealing the section OF the revised stat
utes which increased the salary TO fifty
thousand dollars. 1t will be rcmem-
bered the Senate at this session failed
TO pass over the veto of President
Grant the bill restoring the salary TO
the old figure although it passed both
houses by majority vote. II is likely
that the provision Us it stands now in
the Appropriation Bill will be agreed
to and the next President will have to
be content with twenty-five thousand
dollars per annum.

feet that a thirty.fivc year old widow,
clerk in the Treasury Department, has
broughta breach OF promise suit against

damages at $4,000. Her ultimatum
is, marry me or come down. Her desk

UNHAPPY TwEED.-That notorious
rogue, VIM. NJ. Tweed, who is serving
a twenty years term in New York
penitcntiary for his robberies, sent by
Samuel !. Tilden and Charles 0'Con-
nor, is rendered very unhappy by
learning of the pardon Of his colleagues
in crime, by President Grant. The
difference is this; Tweed was a Dem
ocratic scoundrel and was arrested and
convicted BY Democratic officials but
Avery, Babcock, Mcdonald q Co., are
Radical scoundrels, who were accident.

retary Bristow, who was compelled to
resign because Grant Il Co. preferred
men of this class TO honest ones hence
the pardon Of ali the "crooked whisky"
dealers, and the dismissal OF the Bah
cock suit by the order Of the President.
The Democrats keep their rogues in
prison, while the RAIDS. pardon and
promote theirs. That is the difference
in a moral point of view. The lesson
implied in the conduct of the leaders
of the two parties are worthy of study
and practice.

IMPORTANT STA TIsT7cs.

The necessity of u rcvisal of the as
sessmcnt aud tax laws of the State is
strongly argued Ivy General McCand-
less, TO secure a uniformity throughout
the State. Some Of the County Com
missioncrs neglect TO lcvy any State
tax, or omit 10 collect il from personal
property subject to taxation. As an
illustration of the lack Of uniformity,
the Secretary states that in Berks
county, having, with the city of Read
ing an area of 800 square miles and
30 lsO taxable inhabitants, the aggre-
goie yaluetiep OF reql estate is hus

IN area OF 1875 miles and s,0l3 taxable

from the annual report made by the
County Commissioners for the yeai

MrscEGESArIoS LEoALIzED.- The
little State Of Rhode Island is evidently
making true progress as modern
philanthropists term it. On the %
inst, the House of Representatives re
pealed the clause Of the general statute
prohibiting theintermarriage ofwhites
and blacks. When the roll was called
there were 30 yeas and 30 nays. The
Speaker voted in the affirmative, thus
repeating the penalty for the inter
marriage of wmtesand negroes in that
State. This may be in accordance
with the taste and sentiments OF that
insignificant Commonwealth, but we
doubt IL the moral sentiment of the
people in any other State of the Union
can be brought to that low grade. The
intelligent and refined portions of both
races will revolt at this legislative effort
TO ignore the designs of the Creator.
This Puritan feature of refinement is
in exact harmony with the witch hang
ing efforts Of the New Englanders one
hundred and fifty years ago.
