ACCIDENT ON THE RoAD.--Last Friday
Judge Waters was driving in an open bug
gy, near Thomas Run, with his wife and
child, when the spindle of one of the front
wheels suddenly broke. The horse, young
high-spirited one, was startled by the crash
and made several desperate plunges, but
Judge Waters managed to hold him and he
stopped suddenly. Mrs. Waters and her
little daughter were thrown out at the same
instant, and the child fell with her head d.
rectly in front of one of the hind wheels
Her position was extremely perilous, for the
slightest movement on the part of the horse
would have caused the wheel to pass over
her head. Mrs. Waters, hastily rescued her
little daughter, and it was found that none of
the party were in the least injured. The es-
cape of the child was truly providential

THE LEE MONUMENT ASSOCIATION OF
ALABAMA-CoL. SAMUEL FoRwooD-We
are in receipt of a Southern newspaper, the
Clarke County Democrat, of Alabama, from
which we learn that Col. Samuel Forwood,
native of this county, but for the past forty
five years resident of Alabama, has been
appointed chairman of the Lee Monument
Association, of Alabama, for Clarke county.
The noble work in which this Association is
engaged-that of erecting an enduring mon

The lecture advertised in another column, to
be delivered in the Presbyterian Church, on next
Tuesday evening, the l4th of May, by Mr.. Luigi
de jest, will be one of much interest The lee
turer, though but young man, has a vast
amount of information, which he has gathered
up in his extensive travels. He spent three
years in Russia, Travelled for some time through
Turkey, Germany, Greece, Scotland and other
countries, to see and hear for himself what was
said and done, SO as to be rightly Informed in
regard thereto. Being fluent in the languages
spoken in all these countries, he was ready to take
part in all that was going on. He lisa native of
Italy, and was educated in Rome. In his travels,
he came to our shores, and in his efforts to learn
our language, the most difficult of all, he went
into our churches to hear the language spoken by
the scholars Of the land, so as to gain correct
knowledge of it as spoken. In hearing the Ian
guage, he heard the gospel of Christ, aud acccp-
ted it as taught in the word of God. He is now
in the Presbyterian Theological Seminary, at
Alleghaney, studying for the ministry; and in
vocation, is lecturng to support himself in his
studies.
How honorable and praiseworthy !! All the
admission fees received at the door shall be
handed to him. Will you not come out and
render him little help? He comes to us nost
highly recommended by his pastor, the Re I. DR..
Agnew, of Philadelphia, and others.

When Dr. r. V. Pierce was candidate for

pretended analysis of his popular medicines
hoping thereby TO prejudice the people against

successful business man has his full quota of

Investigating the Fraud.

The Democratic congressional committee
held meeting in Washington on Wednes-
day, to consider the Florida disclosures and
the expeden2y ofcongressional Investigation
into the subject. Tho conclusion arrived ut
was that the Democratic party owed 1t to the
committed whereby the people were defraud-
cd out of the President they had chosen.
While no unparalleled man could doubt that
gross frauds were committed in Florida the
proof was not of strictly legal character,
and at some time in the future doubts might
be thrown upon its reliability. The object
now proposed. as we understand it, is to
thoroughly sft the matter according to legal
forms and with the utmost impartality and
fairness, so that the whole country and pos
terity may know how great was the fraud
committed, and what party responsible for
it.
resolution has been drawn up which d-
reefs the judiciary committee to inquire rs to
the truth OF certain affidavits which will be
referred to concerning alleged frauds on the
part of returning officers in manipulating the
electoral vote Of Florida and Louisiana, and
the committee is empowered to send for per-
sons and papers and report the result of their
inquiry to the House forthwith.
1t is not proposed to reopen the question
of Hayes title, nor to orst him from his
fraudulently- obtained seat but if the pro-
posed investigation shall concusively show,
as it undoubtedly will, that Hayes was not
elected, he must be destitute of every moral
principle, if he longer retains his place

LINES FROM LAPIDUM.-Our Lapidum
correspondent says:
DIR. w. w Yirdin picked the first straw
berries from his patch on Monday, May 9th.
Remarkably carly for this latitude
-Messrs. Spencer Bro. & Co. made the
biggest haul OF the season, last Monday,
catching $1,000 herring, 1900 lbs. of rock
fish-some weighing over 1870 lbs each-and
several barrels of other fish, such ms perch,
moccasin, &c. This big haul was made on
high river, too high for fishing from floats
Consequently, but little has been done the
past ten days from the float fishing. Even
now, on a falling river, when every one has
right to expect good run, there is very
little doing Our fishermen are talking of
cutting out this week, or next, at farthest
-Lapidum was in pleasing contrast with
Port, last week. Three schooners land a
canal boat loading at one time, also lumber
raft being taken out, while only one vessel
could be seen on the entire Port Deposit
side.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore Railroad intend to ballast their whole
road with Port Deposit granite, having erect
ed large and powerful crushers at Perlyvlle.

visible in the churches of the white people,
nor could he trace the existence of any col
ored statesmen in the six New England Leg
islatures. A special dispatch, May 2, to the

State, shows that even on juries the "man
and brother" is not tolerated. AT suit in

and one colored man was chosen, and num-
Der Of the jurors swore they would not serve,

Town ELECTIoN-The annual election for
Commissioners Of the town of Bel Air took
place on Monday, The citizens generally
took little interest in the matter, being so
well satisfied with the old board as to desire
no change. Twenty-six votes were cast and
there being no opposition, the former board
were unanimously re elected, namely: Ste.
venson A. Williams, John T. Spicer, John
Bauer, John F. Lingan and Angus! Knofler.
There is one thing which has heretofore
been neglected, but in which the present
Town Commissioners should set n precedent,
namely, the publication of an annual state
ment of receipts and expenditures on behalf
of the town. 1t would be a satisfaction to
taxpayers to know how their money has been
expended. We merely make the suggestion
to the board.
