After the political drum beats have
ceased their booming,-after the har-
fangues are all made, and the run
hihg and scheming and working all
over, what has been gained by either
Sioe, Individually? On the other
hand, what has been lost? Bad feel
lngs have been engendered ties of
family and friendship broken, ire
parably perhaps mean things said
and done; and whether the result be
victory or defeat, who gets any thanks
Or shares the reward! Still, we can
nave no government without polite
al parties, but we might do with few
VI extremes in mems and acOme,s's
political opinions.

few blows are wasted. Their labor is

A BAD WREcK.-A West bound
freight train on the Gin. Wash. &
BALTIC. r. r. ran. over COW at the
bridge across the Big Hooking river
in Ohio few miles West of Parkers-
burg on last Thursday. The engine
and two cars passed over the bridge,
but the balance of the train except the
caboose tore through the bridge and
plunged into the river. The seven
teen cars that went through were
loaded with coal oil. The oil took
fire burning the cars and bridge. No
lives were lost. The burning oil COW
cred the surface of the river for miles
and presented blazing mass. All
trains from the West have been de-
layed. being compelled to transfer at
the bridge. 1t is estimated that the
loss in cars. oil. bridge, &c., will ex-
coed 100000. This accident accounts
for the irregularities of trains from the
West which has existed for some
days.

A PLEAsANT SURPRIsE.-Last Sat.
urday morning when Col. W. A. Nor
gan opened his Office he found that
somebody had been there before him.
Upon chair was tall box and on
the box letter. He opened the en-
velope, and found note from the
managers of the Morgan's Grove Ag-
ricultural, Mechanical and Live Stock
Association begging him to accept
the contents of the box with their
compliments, as an evidence of their
appreciation of his generosity in con-
nection with the exhibition at Nor
gan's Grove on September 8th, 9th
and 10th. Col. Morgan found in the
box an extremely handsome sill
yer pitcher and cup, appropriately
engraved, and of beautiful and SUBJ
stantial pattern. The management
did the proper thing in presenting
this gift, for no more worthy recip-
lent than Col. Morgan could have
been found.
ACCIDENT.-Last Saturday while
Mr.. Jacob L. Hoffman and his father,
Mr., David Hoffman, were driving
home they met with an accident
which might have had very serious
result They were driving colt, and
while going down the big hill on the
Cement Mill road they lost control of
the animal. At the bend in the road,
instead of turning, the horse went
straight on over the terribly steep and
dangerous hill at that point, carrying
the vehicle and its occupants with
him. He came to sudden stop in
leagues Run, the carriage turning a
complete somersault at the waters
edge. Strange to say Mr.. Hoffman and
his father escaped with very slight in
juries. The carriage was badly brok-
en- up, but the horse was not hurt
much. This is quite a dangerous
point, and these gentlemen were
lucky to escape so we'll.
