ANY warm friends and svmpathzers,

alto. & Ohio Cussedness.-On Mon
as party of colored men, of this town,
returning from Washington Grove on
b No. 1875, Henry Herbert, one of the par
was pushed from the train by brakeman
while the train was in motion and at a lively
speed. Herbert says that at Ricketts, station
he stepped from the platform of the car to al
low a lady TO board the train, and that he got
on the train at another platform. After the
train had started the brakeman came out Of
the car and said that one of the party had not
paid his fare. Without any effort to find out
whether or not Herbert was the guilty party,
he was pushed from the car Herbert claims to
have paid his fare and is backed in his state
ment by all Of his companions. To other in
stances where they have Inconvenience pass
engers they have added case where injury
might have been the result, for had Herbert
fallen upon any portion of the road bedded
upon an embanknent he certainly would have
sustained severe personal injury. In this case
no damage was done beyond muddy clothes
and a little temporary pain, but we mention il
AS an example of inexcusable carelessuess
which If continued in may prove serious
| As we are upon the subject of the negli-

fertile one, we are reminded of their meanness
and gross neglect in not paying their County
and State tax upon the Metropolitan Branch.
The officers Of the county should not delay
the course prescribed by law proceed TO collect
the amount that is due the County and State,
and if the railroad does not act ia accordance
with the requirements of the law upon tax
payers, let the officers advance TO the utmost
bounds Of their duty and take into execution
their property in this county. Surely there is
a way to bring them to a knowledge that they
are not the governors of all portions of the
State, and they must pay their honest debts.
A Sad Accident.-We are informed OF
an accident painful TO chronicle that happened
to Mr. Joseph McCrossin, near his home in
the vicinity of Darnestown, this county, on
Tuesday evening last. He was out riding

getting up and dragged his rider, whose foot
hung in the stirup, some distance until the
saddle girth broke releasing Mr. Nee. from the
terrible position He was conveyed to bis
home iusensible by several gentlemen in COM
pany, and was in that condition at noon We'd
nesday, the time the accident reached us. The
doctor had then given up all hopes of his re-
covery.
Later the sad tidngs are received of Mr.
McCrossins death on Wednesday night.

vile, found in a woods near the latter named
