From w. H. Archer, of Otterbourne,
We learn of two accidents which happen
ed near that place on Monday last. In
the morning Mr.. l.. n Winslow, while
riding, was thrown by his horse. and his
foot catching il the stirrup the uafortu-
nate man was dragged considerable
distance. He was greatly bruised, but it
is thought not seriously. In the after
noon runaway team upset and smashed
buggy, in which Messrs. H. S. Hazel
ton, Harry Moreland and Charley Lord
were riding. No one seriously hurt.

1858 the Buchanan government had to
borrow $2S. III. SEQ; in 1859 it had to Dor
row S2S, 2S7 800. and in 1860 it had to
borrow SEQ. &c, S06 As result the treas
ury was bankrupt and the country i'm
pOverished as result of Democratic ad
Tie fiscal policy that
brought about these results is before the |
again. and a new generation of
voters is to give its verdict upon it.
