A Growing Evil.

The periodical tramp is abroad in
s nd Ill all bis lazy glory. What
Z. pest they have become in these late
years. They tray el in pairs, trios and
quartetts, North and South. What is
their destination, and whence they
come. Must we ask OF the stars of
night, or the wind that listeth thereof
for the cause of this pestilential exo-
dus? Is there no law to prohibit those
able-bodied, Misunderstanding host of
nomads from wandering from the
tropic of Capricorn TO the lropic of
. Cancer? Can there not be q law
enacted To prohibit so much vagrancy
from stalking abroad at noon day or
that walketh as pcstilence at night,
seeking plnnder, arson and bloodshed =?
Should this host of lazy, idle men be
allowed to tramp this earth from the
verdanl hills of the North to the land
of the palmetto and the piue, begging
from door to door, and when not
receiving what asked for, taking it by
violence. The time has arrived when
immediate action should take place,
and this accur>ei ira mp banished from
the face OF this country. Why do
men tramp when physically able to
work--weak. consumptive men never
tramp-is question to us easily
answered? In the first place this
volume of vagranls is the scum from
large cities, who subslsi during winter
season by plundering and robbery,
under well organized corporation.

Mr.. Thomas Wood, agent, who is at
present stopping at the Washington
Hotel, met with quite a serious accident
ON Wednesday morning last abont nine
O'Clock, rs he was driving in the direc-
tion of Iron Hill Piece of the leather
on ono of the shafts, commonly called a
shafting, gave way, allowing the horse's
hind legs to come in contact with the
cross-bar of the carriage, which fright
ened the animal so that it took off at a
mad pace To add to the drivers peril
GUS situation, the horse commenced kick
ing. After a few sharp angry kicks, the
occupant was thrown out. The horse
continued in his mad flight till he reached
| the old school house, south of the depot,
where he was turned into the road lead
ing into Alex. Wilson's blacksmith shop
by Mrs. Geo. Medill, who was driving
along in carriage. The sudden turn 81
slackened the speed of the animal that he
was easily stopped by a party who hap
pened to be along the road at that mo
ment.
The party thrown out escaped with bui
slight bruises and good shaking up
The horse was somewhat cut, but be
yond that appeared all right. The We
hicle was the most badly used up, al
though the unfortunate gentleman claim
ed that $40 would siraighten it out fo
running order.

ABOUT four thousand souls per-
ished at Casamiceiola on Saturday
last by an earthquake. While dis
asters in our own country result in the
death of few hundred, the Old
World mourns the loss of as many
thousand by sudden upheaval. II
is but fitting that these two vast coun-
tries should clasp haLds and mourn
together over their calamities.
