We are requested to give notice that
the OswegO College for Young Ladies,
will be opened for the admission of
pupils January Is, 1856. This college
has been established under authority
of the Presbyterian Synod of Kansas,
with Congressman B. w. Perkins. as
president of the board of trustees, and
Miss Louise PAUL, as principal.
There is talk of organizing a musical
society after the holidays, for the pur-
pose Of giving weekly concerts. The
plan is to charge no admission, but
have the society run in the same man
ner that q literary society would be,
with musical instead Of literary pro-
gramme. The idea seems to US q good
one, and we hope it will be carried out.
From matters that have come to our
attention lately, we infer that the Opin-
ion is prevalent in some parts of the
county, that there was no appeal taken
from the late decision of Judge Brew
er touching the lands Of the so-called
wedge strip. The opinion is erroneous.

We hear COOL deal Of complaint
from farmers, about hunters tramping
down their hedges and leaving gates
open and bars down, and there is some
talk of prosecution. And the offend.
ers are not all "town fellows either,
but farmers who certainly know how
much trouble their carelessness causes.
Since it is trespass for one to hunt on
the premises of another without per-
mission, it would certainly seem a
small enough return for that permits
sion, to cause no unnecessary work or
waste.
The railroads of the State, a. q sort
OF Christmas gift to the people we
presume, have decided to reduce their
fares during the holidays to one and
one-third for q round trip. The st.
Louis and Wichita ut any rate, and
probably all the other roads, will place
tickets on sale from December 23rd to
January LIST, inclusive, which will be
good to return up to and including
Jan 4th. We understand that this
idea was first suggested to the railroad
managers, by Prof. Garfield. Of the
State University. The result will no
doubt be greatly increased traffic dur
ing the next two weeks.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.


Yesterday afternoon, Willie, son of
Mr.. H. Redwood, met with one of those
accideptsE boys are SO fond of courting,
and which they learn always after to
remember. He had carried home from
his fathers store an empty powder
keg, to convert into a flower pot.
Knocking out the head, small quantity
of powder, apparently less than tea
spoonful, was found in the keg Boy-like,
he concluded to have some fun ont of
that, without calculation of danger.
Lighting a match he thrust it into the
keg. 1t failed to ignite the powder, and
he lit another, and instantaneously there
was an explosion. the flame shooting up
as out OF mortar, burning his arms,
breast and face; the latter very severely.
1t is very much swollen and up to the
present time the eyes remain closed, SO
that it is not yet possible to determine
whether the sight is injured or not. We
hope not, and think not, for we have
seen much worse cases in which the eye
escapes by the instructive instantane-
GUS closing of the lids against threatened
danger -
Willie bears his sufferings with great
heroism. His greatest solace is that he
will get his name in the newspapers.
Wefpredict that when he comes to years
of maturity he will be great advertiser,
for he already shows his appreciation of
the power of the press.

SAD TRAGEDY ON THE
POTOMAC.
Two Well Known Persons
Lose Their Lives.
WAsuINGToN, D. c., Sept. 2

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. ..
The particulars of the sad tragedy on
the Potomac last evening near the Chain
Bridge, by which John H. Morgan, the
only son of Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
and Mrs. Emma Della Stella lost their
lives are as follows: Mr.. Morgan who
is member of the Washington Canoe
Club left the Club House about o'clock,
and going in the lola. a double canoe,
with Mrs. Stella, while Mrs. Stella' neice,
Miss Lula Mccarthy, ACCOMPANIED them
in a single canoe, as she desired to prac
tIce padding. About 7:l5 o'cl. ck about
quarter of mile below the Chain
Bridge the double canoe was capsiztd
and both occupants, Mr.. Morgan and
Mrs. Stella, were drowned Morgan
wentdown while attempting to save Ills
companion. lie was good swimmer,
but very slight physically. Miss Nc
Carthy, who had turned her canoe down
stream and was some distance in advance;
happened to turn her head over her
shoulder and saw the collapse. She saw
the two occupants in the water and heard
Morgan cry Lula! Lula !" before he
sank. She at once turned about
but when she bad padded to
the spot both Morgan and Mrs. Stella
had disappeared under the waters. The
canoe it appears, had struck sunken
rock. The current at this point is very
swift, making series of rapids; and
there are many dangerous rocks in the
water After padding about the fatal spot
for half an hour and more vainly hoping
that the forms of her companions would
rise to, the surface, Miss Mccarthy, in
despair, started down the river after
help. She had proceeded but little
way when she met two gentlemen aid
went back with them to make another
fruitless search. Miss Mccarthy and
her two new companions then turned
again Aown stream towards Holtzmanus,
Miss Mccarthy being now exhausted
was taken into the other boat. at Holtz-
manus', Miss Mccarthy was cared for by
Mrs. Holtzmanus and subsequently was
taken to her home in buggy by Mr..
Holtzmanus. Mrs. Stella was widow
about 40 years of age, a clerk in the
general land Office, and resided with her
sister Mrs. Mccarthy and her neice Miss
Mccarthy at 2116G. Streets.

y GALVESTON, Sept. 2,
Aspecial to the Neacs from Dallas says
the first convention of the Knights of
Labor of Texas met here yesterday for
the purpose of organizing State ASSEM-
bly,. One hundred and four delegates,
including eight coiored men, we're in
attendance. The proceedings were
secret. All delegates are extremely non
communicative. being bound by an oath
not to diyulge anything. Much specular
tion is INDUCED in by outsiders respecting
the probable coalition of the coalition of
the knights of Labor with the Prohibit
tionists. Owing to the fact that the
Knights of Labor throughout the State
generally are refraining from the use of
strong drink; it is surmised that they are
preparing to make overtures to the Pro-
hibition party, and especially as num-
ber of brief interviews show that large
majority of the delegates sympathize
with the prohibition movement which is
assuming vast proportions in this State
Another report, current, states that seeds
are being planted for Farmers Union
with the hope of making common
CRUSADE against what is described as
"the excess of capital" The agreement
entered into between the executive
committee of the assembly of seventy
Knights of Labor and officers of the
Texas & St Louis Railway last Saturday
will, it is thought, be proposed by. the
State assembly as the means of hereafter
settling strikers in Texas. 1t prescribes,
first, that those who have quit work by
strike shall be reinstated, and shall not
be discharged for any action taken by the
strikers and in regard to wages due; but
this is not 10 cover incorporate, or men
off duty. That thirty days notice shall
be given to men for being discharged,
except for cause; and of increase or re-
duetion in wages similar notice shall be
given. Old employees are to have pref

tween companies and their employees
shall be settled by arbitration. The
convention will be convened to-day,
when organization will be effected.

1HE QuEsIaoN or SALE or .TizE WATER.
ANoRKs. sIssss..
The ClrIzES some time aso SdgeeAte5
the probable adsantags Of sale Of Che
water works, not upon the ground that
the institutionRis a. failure as far as Il
goes, hut upon theidea chat an enlarge
ment Of supply both ofYater and accom-
modations are necessary, and that the
city. as such, was not disposed to meet
the necessary outlay. The Adoanee of
this morning has anartieIe urging sale,
and says:
eve feel very much ike Gov Vance
some years ago, when being told that
somebody wished to buy the Western
North Carolina Railroad, he said "for
Gods sake catch him before he leaves
the State" If there be 4 man in Ashe-
vile who wishes to buy the water works,
for Gods sake don't let him leave the
town until be has had a chance. There
is some Similarity in the Sfatesnlanship
which resulted in the failure of the road
to that shown in regard tbs water
works Let It be Sold g
If the sale OF. the water works could
result as splendidly as the sale of the
Western road did there should be- a very
unanimous demand for its sale, and all
echo the strong language used by Sena-
tor Vance in regard to the road. The
AdUaace says:ag. b.e
'"The proc ,eds of the water works could
then be utilized either in paying the
debts of the city or improving the side
walks, and the establishment of public
park. ~
AS the .Adtance has urged the utter
failure of the present water works. we
fear "the proceeds" of a sale would not
amount to much-if enough to pay the
debt ON this account it might be consid-
cred good bargain, for the city. Good
financiers are not in the habit of paving
much for worthless property. AS far az
it goes, the CITIZEN regards the property
as worth for more to the city than it has
ever cost, but recognizing the fact that
enlargement is necessary, both in supply
of water and in extensive of service, and
assuming that the city is not willing to
undertake this, we conclude it is better
to sell to a responsible company upon
terms which will secure the additional
service, though the city realizes no more
that its outlay therefor. The city must
be supplied with good water, and the
shortest road to obtaining the supply
should be taken.

A CURIOSITY.
Mr.. 6. M. Roberts brought to our office
this morning one Of the caterpillar family
known locally as Hickory Devil What
is the chronological name we do not
know. Its appearance fully justifes its
ominons name. Its head Is adarned like
the Beast in Revelations, only i, has. eight,
instead of seven, recurved horns, each
about an inch in length. The hideous
dragon-like mouth is defended by similar
but shorter horns. Its body is terminated
by black Iucurved horn. The body is
divided into eight sections, over each of
which passes "a row Of short black horns.
The eight feet are long, single claws, which
clasp whatever they seize with fierce te-
nacity. The general color is yellowish
green, marked on the underside with short
broad diagonal bands. In addition to the
horns and claws, the monster is defended
by an exudation Of poisonous liquid as ter
.rible as vitriol. The worm is S inches
long and 3 in circumference.
