"A horrible accident occurred on the in
cline OF the Cairo and Vincennes railroad
yesterday evening about five o'clock. The
switch engine was backing freight train
down the incline onto the Junius 5. Morgan

boat and was passing under the beam that
supports the Jackstati, one Of the brskemen,
Geo. W. Richter by name, who was stand

it and knocked down between the cars, and
falling across the track, was cut in two, the
two parts falling in the river below. The

ed elsewhere in this issue, presents very
strong Endorsement Of Gen. Hancock, from
jurist whose mature opinions can not be
treated lightly by the Republican scoffers
and slanderers. In vain have the Republi-
can leaders tried 10 beittle Order No. 40. "
They can not belittle that statesmanlike
document, nor the man who wrote it. THE
man, says Judge Davis, ''who, in the midst
Of the excitements Of that stormy period,
was cool enough to see his duty clearly and
courageous enough to execute 1t firmly,
may well be trusted in any crisis" So he
may, and the Democratic party trust him
implicitly, and thousands Of Republicans
will vote for him.

desired to read this elastic newspaper it

it on the side Of the house, after the manner
of stretching possum hide, and it can be
read with case. For very old people it may
be necessary to stretch the sheet larger than

told that father time has pulled the hide
from one side of him, and his tail is buried
in the mire, but still his voice smells il
