KNOXVILLE, Ohio Dec. Ga most singu-
lar and terribly fatal accident occurred i'll
this vicinity Thursday morning. William
Reynolds drove his wagon into his orchard
which lies on the side of a steep hill. He
unhitched the team and set rubber block on
the wheels, and began cutting some brush,
which it was his intention to haul away,
leaving three small children playing in the
bed of the wagon. While at their play the
rubber came loose, and the wagon started
down the hill at n fearful rate of speed
After running about 200 yards, it came in
contact with large rock. All of the chill
dren We're dashed out, and two were thrown
against the rock with such force as to be
almost instantly killed. The third child
escaped with comparatively slight injuries

PITTsBURG, Dec 6 The project of restrict

lowed to die quietly. Instead of further
restriction, reports received are to the effect
that a number of furnaces will blow,

plants of dull trade and low prices the re
sumption of work seems paradoxicaL But
it is stated that the stock on hand is lighter
now than it has been for years, and while
there is no prospect of better prices there is
room for greater quantity of iron than i

Abraham! Abraham! behold, my
name is JEHOVAH, and /. have heard
thee, and have come down to deliv-
er thee, and to take thee away from
thy fathers house, and from all thy
kins-folk, into a strange land which
thou know not of, and this because
they have turned their hearts away
from me, to worship the god Of Ell
kenah, and the god of Libnah, and
the god Of Mahmackrah, and the
god Of Korash, and the god Of Pha-
raoh, king of Egypt; therefore I
have come down to visit them, and
to destroy him who hath Lifted up
his hand against thee, Abraham,
my son, to take away thy life. Be

My fathers having turned from
their righteousness, and from the
holy commandments which the
Lord their God had given unto
them, unto the worshipping Of the
gods Of the heathens, utterly re-
fused to hearken to my voice; for
their hearts were set to do evil, and
were wholly turned to the god OF
Elkenah, and the god of Libnah,
and the god of Mahmackrah, and
the god Of Korash, and the god Of
Pharaoh, king of Egypt; therefore
they turned their hearts to the sac
rifice of the heather in Offering up
their children unto their dumb
idols, and hearkened not unto my
voice, but endeavored to take away
my life by the hand of the priest of
Elkenah. The priest of Elkenah
was also the priest of Pharaoh.
Now, at this time it was the GUS
tom of the priest of Pharaoh, the
king of Egypt, to offer UP upon the
altar which was built IN the land Of
Chaldea, for the Offering unto these
strange gods; men, women, and
children. And it came to pass thai
the-priest made an Offering unto the
god of Pharaoh, and also unto the
god of Shagreel, even after the man
ner of the Egyptians. Now the god
of STA 5reel was the Sun. Even
the thank-offering of child did
the priest of Pharaoh offer upon
the altar which stood by the hill
called Potipher's Hill, at the head
of the plain of Olishem. Now, this
pest had offered upon this altar
three virgins at one time, who We're
the daughters of Onitah, one of the
i ,yal descent directly from the loins
of Ham. These virgins were Of
fered up because of their virtue
they would rot Row down to WORSHIP,
gods of wood or Of stone, therefore
they were killed upon this altar,
and it was done after the manner
of the Egyptians.
And it came to pass that the
priests laid violence upon me, that
they might Stay me also, as they
did those virgins upon this altar;
and that you may have a knowledge
of this altar, / will refee you tothe
representation at the commence

Mr. Cleveland has one great advan-

voting for him we shall not vote for any
body else to share the Presidency with
him. Mr.. Cleveland Is a bachelor.
Some people, to be sure, do not like
bachelors, but whom we consider the
risk involved in the election of "Lady
of the White House," and the important
part which that flinctionary has occa.
sipnally played in the affairs OF the
Unitod States, tho advantage of candi-
date who is free from all eutangling
female alliances must he generally adj
mitted. II must be confessed that the
lady of tho White House has not ALWAYS
been "A success. Sometimes thoro has
been too much Of her; sometimes there
has been too much Of her family; some.
times neither she nor her family has
added greatly TO tho dignity OF the
Government. Mr.. Arthur has shown
that President cGn get along very wei

sistance of wife, while Mr.. Tilden has

Another Wash in the Pan.

The two negroes, Shepherd and Stokes,
who were brought over from Fort Worth
on Tuesday night, by Dallas officers UNI
der the superstition that they were the
ones who had been engaged in the va
rious burgaries and assaults lately COM
mitted in this city, were yesterday sub
jected to close examination, resulting
in both being set at liberty. The state
ment Of Stokes that the wound
he received was caused by
his pistol exploding in his
pocket at DenisOn seemed to he sub
stantiated by the course of the ball,
which ranged downward, passing
through the tleshy part of his thigh into
his leg, as well as by the hole burned
in his pocket. There was nothing adj
duced to show that he or the other negro
had anything to do with either Of the
affairs. In our issue Of yesterday we
stated, through error, that it was Shep-
herd who was shot, when it should have
been Stokes.
While it would seem that our officers
here and those elsewhere are active in
their efforts to discover the guilty par
ties and necessaril Y have to avail them
selves OF all sorts of clues and reports, it
would seem that closer investigation Of
developed facts would save many fruit
