LET US HAVE THOSE FIGURES.

/ liz ID AtA fAh0sJt. dA&OENA~~Ss
Two weeks ago the Herald. in re-
ply to a criticism Of the Board Of Pub
lie Works by the Charles Town Advo-
cate, called for the figures showing
the decrease in valuation Of personal
property in Jefferson county, caused
by Democratic free trade and panic.
The Advocate processes to be able to
furnish the figures but is very careful
not to do so; and then charges that
the Herald has changed from pros
perity bowler to a calamity shrieker, "
when the Herald was only gently
Gliding the Advocate for shrieking
about its own shortcomings.
AS usual, when cornered, the Ad-
yocate takes refuge behind ancient
history and rants and raves about
Pocahontas saving the life Of Captain
John Smith, just as if the Smith FAM
ily would have been extinct had it
not been for the self.sacrificing devo'
ton OF that Indian maiden, who, su-
perior to certain degenerate whites of
this day, recognized true manhood IN
the celebrated explorer and braved
the wrath Of her father and his people
to rescue helpless prisoner. Why,
Brother Yesterday, the Smiths were
widely diffused and celebrated lorg
before the discovery Of America and
since then the family has grown and
spread and prospered until there is
not hamlet in the wide, wide world
where they are not known and hon
ored and respected. Foremost in
every good work, they have filled po-
sitions of honor and trust and have
become renowned as scholars and
statesmen and soldiers, and not one
blot or stain rests on the family tree
or any of its numerous branches. A
fair sample is the one to whom Oliver
Wendell Holmes referred, when he
wrote that splendid stanza--
There was young man of excellent pith;
Fate tried to conceal him by naming him
Smith;
But he uttered song for the brave and
the free;
Just read on his medal-"My Country,
of Theep'
Yes, dearly beloved, the Smith fam
lily is all right and that humble one
who has the honor of editing the
Herald is feeling very we'll, thank
you, and has no idea Of bowling or
shrieking unless there is cause for
alarm and then he can and will yell
in such manner as to make the I'M
terrified Democracy OF Jefferson quake
with fear. Until then, possess your
soul in patience and in the meantime
hunt up those figures and see if they
do not furnish food for reflection dur
ing many long winter evening.

A Fatal Fourth of july Accident.

New Bedford, Mass, July 5.-Henry

Cured. One gentleman states that
when Mr.. Stoe first applied the torch
to the bomb, the party turner their
backs and ran off a short distance for
safety's sake, just about the time the
explosion should have taken place.
When the bomb did not at once go off
and seemed as if it was not going to,
Mr.. Stone tool it in his hands, holding
it quite close to his face, presumably
to fan the spark into a blaze by blow
ing his breath upon it. Before the par
ty had fairly turned to view the explo-
sion they were Mortified to see Mr..
Stone drop to the ground amid a crash
and volume of flame and smoke. A
physician was Immediately called, but
could no nothing. Mr.. Stone having
been instantly killed by the shock.
