friends to throw out such revolutionary doc

from Hancock's letter. The people who
make such threats months before the time

office.
Democratic leaders talk of reviving Amer
lean industry. The only revival of Amer
ican industry that the Democratic party has
been guilty OF, was tie extension OF the
slave trade to the Territories. The last
President that the Democracy had was
James Buchanan, ard he was the candidate
of the men who first, last, and all the time,
advocated the advancement of American
Industry by slavery in the Territories. That
is the only kind Of industry that the coun
try can rely on that the leaders of the DEM
ocracy will advance if they get into power.
The advancement OF the other industries
the free Industries, under Democratic au-
spices are quite uncertain. Take care how
you vote.

loon about one O'Clock. John Weller and |
amily were taking dinner when the thunder
hover passed over the valley. The table |
rom which they were taking their repist
vas close by an open outside door. A
treak of lightning came in the door, made |
he circuit of the table, and passed off in
wo currents; the one went out through the /
rall of the house opposite the door through |
vhich it entered the other passed down
eg of John Weller to the floor, through
Shich it passed to the ground. Mr.. Weller
ras rendered insensible, but he knew
lothing of the occurrence till he was re-
tored to consciousness. His leg was
'urned by the lightning, and four of the
children were burned about the body just
Ibove the height Of the table around which
he Guid displayed itself, putting flashing,
ery glitter over the knives and forks and
'ther metallic substances on the table. A

" the terrific charge, through the room.
Dr.. Crawford was called and rendered such
professional service as the case demanded.
