Terrible Accident

A fire broke out in an old shauty, at
Yorktown, ON Saturday night, which was
occupied by an aged couple named Williams,
and resulted in the old lady being burned to
death, the charred remains were taken out
of the ruins Sunday, and IA coroner's inquest
was held Monday. The origin of the fire,
AS near as we can learn, was as follows: A
number Of persons were assembled at the
old shauty indulging in regular old fash
ioned spree, when quarrel took place be-
tween them aud the stove was upset The
party were all in beastly state of intoxca,
ton, aud unable tn help themselves, and
but for the prompt arrival of help the whole
party would have been burned to death.
The men who arrived ou the spot succeeded
in drag ing out the men aud in the excite
ment the old lady was not missed until too
late to save her,and 1t was not known on Sat
urday night whether she was really in the
shanty, as the drunken men were unable to
make any clear statement. Sunday morn
ing a search through the ruins brought forth
the eharred bones of the unfortunate woman.
The shanty was of little value, but being
close to the breaker the danger was great To
that structure and the result might have
been its destruction but for the presence Of
watchmen around IL. The horror Of the
people at discovering that such fearful
death had befel the old lady can be readily
imagined and will for time, at least, check
the frequency of these sprees around the
mines in that NATURALIZATION DAILY
Bulletin.

The Republicans had a meeting at
Weiss's Hotel on Wednesday evening.
The Republicans are becoming discour-
aged. They can find nothing that General
Hancock has said or done to find fault with.
With such standard bearers as Han
cock ami English, is it any wonder that the
good people of our country are happy.
Dissatisfied Republicans can quietly
drop Garfield at the polls; and if they can
not make up their minds to vote for Han
cock they need not vote at ALL
Manhood suffrage must and shall rule
America, in spite of all the innate villany
of the Republican leaders. The morn is
dIwning-hail, hail the morn!

Young, Smith, Field & Coz ST Philadelphia,
passed Sunday with friends here.
Ladies influence has always been found
to occupy an important place in carrying
on party enterprises. At n party held at
Samuel Mller's, Saturday night, this was
openly conspicuous. 1t was Sans birth
day. Fine music was rendered on the occa-
sion. Misses Emma Knerr, Emma Everitt
and Mr.. A. Romig were among the perform
ers, and charmed the party by their ballad
singing. They sang admirably an Gave
Maria," which was very difficult, but in
ballads, especially in "Jainie," they were
irresstably sweet and expressive in voice
and manner. So passed away too quickly
the hour of this happy occasion.

II will be seen by our readers that the
three lowest grades are over-crOwded with
pupils. 1t is impossible for the teachers of
those schools TO do full justice to their schol-
ars and to themselves. Not only is this true,
but the pupils can actually not be comfort
ably accommodated. To give all Of our
scholars equal opportunities to gain knowl-
edge, our School Board, at its last regular
meeting, on Monday evening, wisely created
another school. We expect to start it on
Monday. This change will benefit our
schools 10 two ways, it will lessen the pupils
in the lower grades aud in the future raise
the standard of our higher grades.
In almost all schools the attendance is a
sign of success or failure; where the attend
ance is regular, the pupils are bright and
progressive where the report shows a low
percentage of attendance the scholars ad-
vance slowly and are dull. Although this
part Of our report is not very poor,we should
nevertheless show a stronger attendance.
trust that, with the support Of the parents
we may be able to give to the public during
the coming months a record Of attendance

GENUINE DISAPPOINTMENT,

Chester A. Arthur.

The Republican candidate for the
Nice-Presidency, Hon. Chester A. Ar
thur, of New York, is comparatively a
young man, but has for many years
been most prominently identified with
the Republican party of his State. He
was for long time collector of New
York, and is regarded as one of the
brainiest man in the Empire common
wealth. His nomination can be re-
garded as a personal compliment to
Senator Conkling, as Mr.. Arthur is
one of his most intimate political
friends and ardent supporters. From
the dispatches it will be seen that the
nomination meets with a most cordial
support in New York, which augurs
well for next November.
