villain fred d pistol shot into it. The
fash Of the pistol was distinctly seen,
and the passengers think the ball
struck tho Ger. A short time previ-
Gus some scoundrel stoned a train on
tho same road near tho LeitersbnrR

that endanger the lives Of passengers
against whom the villains can have no

MISTAKES IN THE PosToFFIoE.

Some persons are very exdcting as
to the distribution Of mail They
expect a clerk to remember the name
Of every member OF their family and
ii one of their letters gets into the
wrong box, or some other person s
letters gets into their box, they make
as much fuss as if it was criminal
offence and the letters had been
stolen. Ii ladies and gentlemen
should happen to gel the wrong let
ter, it is their duty to return it at
once, and not to presume that a
great injury had been willfully COM
mitted. Illustrating this: Mr.. Ezra
Herring has girl living in his fam
lily, who instructed the clerks at the
postoflice to put her mail in Mr..
Herring's box. This was done, and
the mail reached Mr.. Herring, who,
instead Of returning, retained #,
and at once put in circulation the
startling rumor of the great wrong
committed. He should at once, as
aright-minded person, have returned
the mail. Finally it reached the
postmaster, and on investigation it
was found that the person lived at
Mr.. Herring's house, and he actually
didn't think of her name. See how
easy it is to err.

EXTRA SESSION.

President Arthur has issued his
proclamation converting the Senate
in extra session ON the 10th instant,
at noon. The objects for which this
special session Of the Senate has been
ordered, are for the selection of a
presiding officer, and the confrma-
ton or rejection Of any appoint
ments that the President may deem
proper to transmit to that body.
Much interest will center in the
selection of presiding officer of the
Senate, as he will become by law the
next in succession to the Presidency
until special election could be held.
When the Senate conyenes on the
10th instant, it will be without either
presiding officer or secretary. The
Democrats will have thirty-seven
members and the Republicans thirty
four, giving the Democrats tempo
rarily a majority of three, provided
the two Independents, Davis and
Malone. vote as heretofore. Three
Republicans, Miller and Lapham, of
New York, and Burnside's success
sor, of Rhode Island, can take no
part in the election of president or
secretary, as they cannot be sworn
in until one at least of those officers
are elected. With this state Of facts
the Democrats if they so choose can
control the organization of the SEN
ate. After the organization and
swearing in Of the three Republican
members the Senate will be tie.
AS far as can be judged from the
expressed opinions of a majority of
the Democratic Senators, it is more
than probable that they will take
advantage of the present circum-
stances to organize the Senate, as
such a course would not be either
revolutionary or illegal. The ques-
tim Of policy is the only only on +,
which they will have to consider in
their action.
THE election in Ohio will be held
one week from Tuesday next.

Falling Water Church.

A terrible accident occurred at
this place on Thursday of last
week, brief mention of which was
made in the last issue Of the INDIE
PENDENT. A colored boy named
McAbee, whose parents reside near
Hedgesville, came to the mill a t
this place TO get some flour or
feed. He had attended to his err
rand and went out Of the mill to
get on his horse, but changed his
mind and returned to the mill
again. He went through the sew
eral floors and while looking at
the smut machine his clothing was
caught by the machinery and he
was dragged .in,a and Utterly crush
ed into mass.
A pleasant affair came off at the
Presbyterian church at this place
on Thursday of last week. The
members of the congregation he d
their annual reunion picnic In
the grove around the church.
There was a large attendance and
delightful time. At noon most
sumptuous dinner was spread and
partaken of by ell present They
remained in the grove until near
sunset, when all returned home,
highly delighted VITA the days
enjoyment.
This section was favored with q
fine shower Of rain on uesday,
which has put the ground IL good
order for seeding.
