The Franklin county Gazette says:
"There is no reason why notice OF mar
riage or death, or notice OF seizure or
sale, or. in fact, any notice not larger than
the card cut from newspaper and fastened
to the back OF a postal-card, should not be
sent through the mails. This right would
be a great convenience to thousands every
year, and It Is privilege we think the
people ought to have. Let the newspapers
call the attention Of their congressman to
the matter, and ask them to advocate a
change in the law. Such a move might
meet with opposition from some unexpect-
ed source, but it would meet the hearty en-
dorsement OF the people,"

Fatal Accident From n Cave-In-Death.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, June Z, 1884.
Two colored children, aged respectively
about five years, were caught by the cav
mg.in OF a sand-bank in Blandiord yester-
dav sfternoon. One Of them was rescued,
but before the other "a girl named Ella
Jones) could be relieved second cave-in
occurred, and she was buried out OF sight.
When her body was recovered life was
extinct. They had been warned from the
pit lust before the accident. The coroner's
Jury to-day declared the caving-in as due
to neglect in properly grading the bank, on
the part OF the owner Of the property, and
OF the diggers OF the sand.
Rain is greatly needed throughout this
entire section. Complaints are coming in
that the peanut crop will not be more than
one half the average because OF the dry
weather.

"Down with Bismarck" and the crowd

which were continued for long time.
Prince Bismarck, who was seated al .

hostile demonstration without being seen,
became livid with rage, and ordered MS
personal servants to summon the local po-
lice and assist them In REFRESHING the mop:
When the servant appeared on the stree'

uAnd this Ia the monstrosity that the Democrats
of Virginia, West virginia, and Pennsyyanla, as
adopt rs Democratic principle! The bare propo-
s,tion should suffice 10 expel them ALL Out upon
sucb Democrats. ~ Warrington Post.
The Washington Post has this to say Of
the tariff plank in the platform adopted by
the Democrats OF Virginia, West Virginia,
PENNSYLVANIA, ard Ohio. II will be con-
coded that the Post has some influence.
Its location at the national capital gives it
a quasi clam to be regarded as the central
organ Of the national Democracy. There
fore its utterances demand more attention
than those OF its Kentucky confrsre, the
Courier-.J journal, which is at least enliyened
by flashes OF wit and singing sarcasm,
whereas the dismal stupidity OF the
Post is only equaled by its offensive
dogmatism. For instance, what could
be more stupid than the suggestion that
the Democrats OF Virginia and West Viz
gInia should be expelled from the party |?
They are certain Democratic States, and
the editor Of the Post Is not such an ass as
not to know that the votes OF these two
States are absolutely necessary to elect a
Democratic President. The Post is not,
strictly speaking, Democratic paper. but
the personal organ Of Stilson Hutchins, 4
New Hampshire Socialist, and the great
Democratic party OF this country cannot
afford to be Handicapped by its yaga,ies.
The Democratic party OF Virginia viii
stand by the Lynchburg platform, ratified
at Richmond, without dissenting voice.
We know by bitter experience that the
tariff is not the issue OF supreme import
ance. We know that 20 per cent. reduc-
ton Of the revenue is but n trihe compared
to the horrors Of Radical rule. What does
a man care about saving chicken-house
when his dwelling is in flames and the
lives OF his wife and children in peril!
The Democrats Of Virginia are, with rare
exceptions, practical businessmen, reaiiz-
ing that the first work to be done is to
Turn the rascals out" and take pos
session Of the Government, and when
that is accomplished thousand re-
forms will follow. We do not pro-
pose to be put out Of the Democratic party
by any set OF mer-least Of all by gang
OF impracticable theorists who are filter
subjects for an insane asylum than they
are for political teachers. The Democratic
party has already suffered nigh unto death
at the hands OF such men as Hutchins,
Carlisle, Morrison. etc. 1t is high time
that the patriotic men who are resolutely
looking to success, who hold that Demo-
cratic victory On the 4th OF November is
the highest, chieiest, most patriotic aim OF
the Democratic party. should assert their
power and influence in the councils OF the
party, and rescue it from the destruction
which will surely follow the leadership OF
such cranks as the editor Of the Washing
ton POSt.-ScOttSUMe Courier.

NEW KENT COUNTY.
A Mysterious Afair-Opening n Coffin on

A Mysterious Afair-Opening a Coffin on
Which There was No Address.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
WILCOX WHARF, June I. 1884.
A few weeks ago a large coffin from
which the address had been lostjwas land
ed at one Of the depots on the Chesa peake
and Ohio railway in New Kent county. 1t
was placed in the depot. The people Of
the neighborhood wondered where il came
from and who was inside, and curiosity be-
gan to run high on the second day after its
arrival. when no one called for it. Then,
too, it began TO be offensive, the agent said,
and Others began to hold their noses
as they pceped in TO look at it.
One old gentleman said his family were Of
Tended by it a hundred yards away. 1t
grew worse and worse as the weather
warmed, and something bad TO be done.
Crowds began to collect to try and hear
some solution Of the mystery. Where did
he come from, and what YVES his dcstina-
ton! How long was the corpse to re-
main? A proposition was made to bury it.
1t would make everybody sick. The agent
could stand 1t no longer. But they must
know who the corpse was il any trace
could be had from view OF it. So
il was decided to unscrew the cof-
fin. Fifteen men gathered around, all but
one holding their noses. This man said
he could smell nothing, but he lad cold,
and he supposed that accounted for it. So
an expert took out the screws, and the
crowd gently lifted tbe lid, each with one
hand, the other hand to a nose, when 10 |!
there were six other collins packed in the
big one like hats in box.
The pall-bearers let down the lid, took
down their nOse-bands, looked; very
solemn, and walked away; but as they
went one man said, OTIS no use TO blab
about it," But the man who had a cold
in his head end could not detect anything
offensive did blab, and so you have it.

The Northern Press on the Nomina'

ton.
1t is evident this early that Mr.. BLAINE
has rough road before him. Aside from
the fact that the Democratic party was
never in better condition to make vigor-
ous campaign, the independent papers and
some OF the papers in his own party are
sorer over his nomination than they would
in all probability have been had almost
any other man been named. There are
very few Of the so-called independents that
did not have lurking preference, and
the fight had been so bitter prior to the
nomination that a number OF the Stalwart
organs had placed.themselves in positions
from which IL Is very hard to retreat grace
fully. The Baltimore Sun independently
recognizes that Mr.. BLAINE has tremen-
dous load to carry in the platform and the
record Of the Republican party. After
stating that his nomination is disappoint-
ment TO the conservative element of that
party, it adds:
