A Terrible Accident.

The Montreal Witness has the follow
ing account of a sad accident which &C.
CURED during the progress of athletic
sports at Cornwall, Ont. Mr. II. r. Nc
Lcnnen, q very strong man aud q ma
tive of the locality, who is renowned as
a great thrower of the hammer, had
been induced, much against his own in
clination, to give an exhibition of his
powers for the sake of entertaining the
spectators. The hammer used on these
occasions consists of O long, flexible
wooden handle fitted into q round ball
OF iron, and Is usually hurled after be-
ing swung round the thrower's head.
Having selected one of these instruments
weighing about eight pounds, Mr.. Nc
Lehman took up his position at one side
of the enclosed ground, intending to
throw 1t towards the other side of the
circle. Selling it in one hand, he
whirled the hammer rapidly about his
head several times and then launched Il
into the air. Alas. the direction it
took was not the proper one. The mis-
sile flew towards the crowd on the
right. The people then separated right
and left. One unfortunate little girl
turned and fed like the rest, but She
could not get out of the way quickly
enough. With dreadful force the ham.
mer struck her head, the iron ball lite
rally sinking into her brain, and she fell
a i%ifeless, bleeding corpse upon the
greensward.

The Earthquake Wave on the Mexican
Coast.

Referring to the earthquake observa-
tions by the officers of the Lackawana
at Acapulco, the following extract Is
given: Thursday, May 10, from s
O'Clock A. NJ. to meridian: About /
O'Clock an unusual and rapid rise of
water i'll the harbor occurred. The
beach was entirely submerged, the wa
ter advancing for some distance into the
streets, followed by four similar tidal
waves at intervals of about Is minutes.
the water rising and falling three feet,
excepting the final one, which was 80
inches. From meridian to 4 P. NJ. there
were slight tidal waves at intervals of
about 20 minutes. Friday, from 8
O'Clock TO meridian: Rapid rise and fall
of tide between II :25 and IL 40 O'Clock.
and second rise about 1880 O'Clock,
From meridian TO A o'clock p. NJ: Five
tidal waves at irregular intervals, vary
ing from 20 to SO minutes, the rise and
fall being about 30 inches.
The great tidal wave of Nav 10 was
felt simultaneously over the Hawaiian
islands, the difference between the high
est and lowest water mark varying from
sc to 3 feet.

Murder aud Lynch Law.

Before daybreak, last Friday morning,
May rs, Mrs. C.. c. ChaInbliss, ofStew-
art county, Ten, was murdered by three
negroes. BY firing the fences the aends
drew her husband away, then, proceed
ing TO the house to rob II, they were
met by Mrs. Chambliss, a beautiful wo-
man, aged eighteen years, who was ARM
ed with a gun, One Of the negroes,
Jerry Snesd, took the weapon away and
shot her dead. They then burned the
corn crib and fed, but were pursued
and captured. Jerry admitted the decd
and implicated his companions. Stephen
Abram and William Booth. The three
were brought to Chambliss' house, and
II was unanimously decided by about
three hundred whites and blacks pres
ent that they should be hanged. Agal-
lows was erected and the murderers
were hanged with trace chains. The
colored participants in the lynching
threw the lifeless bodies into an old field
to rot, and il was with great difficulty
that the whites conld persuade them to
permit q burial. The culprits met their
fate jeeringly, glorying in the deed aud
haunting their executioners.

E~Immigration was largely diminish
ed last year, as appears by o comparison
Of the statistics Of arrivals for the ten
years last past. In 1866, they amounted
to als,55i, while in 1876 they were only
l57 ,440. An examination Of the table
showing the yearly immigration estab-
lishes the fact that when the wages of
this country have been the highest, the
immigration has been the largest. Be-
sides, the record shows that last year
many immigrants returned to Europe
for want Of remunerative employment
here. 1t is a well recognized fact that
large immigration is essential TO the
most rapid development of our resourc-
e.. We have only an average popula-
ton Of eleven to the square mile, while
In the more thickly settled portions OF
Europe there is an average of four hun
dred and fifty TO the square mile. Our
soil is not less fertile and our resources
for the support Of large populations are
not inferior TO the best portions of Eu-
rope. In order to promote immigration,
1t seems that we should seek to keep
up the price Of wages. We would moi
advocate the expansion of the currency
That would bring calamity TO our bust
Mesa interests greater than the evil We
should avoid. But there are Legitimate
and harmless methods Of furtherine
his much desired result, and all snct
we should employ.

work, being encouraged to do so by the reception
given TO 1t by the people of the state at its CON-

fact that the second volume was not called for so

Mud when VIC speak of the sacrifices of
our fallen comrades and commemmo-
rate their virtues and strew flowers
upon their graves, we do not think of
the unworthy and need not discrimi-
nate between them. They were gener-
ally induced to follow the flag by that
high sense ofduty and that love ofcoun-
try which took away the sense of per-
sonsl danger and hardship and made
them willing to die, if need be, to ave
their country in her hour of peril. And
as we come around the graves Of the
departed and recall their many virtues,
we may well forget that possibly they
too were influenced by that mixture of
motive which we know characterizes
all human action aud especially so as
having atoned for the past and become
purified by that last and crucial test Of
mortality, they nov are to us the repre-
sentatives Of principles we desire to
honor and virtues we seek to perpetu-
