The Election. Next Monday, ihe 6th of August, is the election day for etate and counry officers. .We trust every qualified voter will do his duty on that d.iy, by going to the polls and voting for the men he may think bist qualified to fi 1 the different offices this is his privilege and his right, and should not i e neglected. We hope to see a largo majority in this county for the Common School Law the law to give all, the rich and poor, an equ il chance to get a common school education. There are many defects in the law now before the people, but it is the best we can get at present, and, if adopted, its defects will be remedied as soon as they are properly understood. Vote FOR School--, say we. On this subje ct, at least, we have a light to express an opinion.

Fatal Accident. On last Monday week'Mr John Nausman, living at Bethel, in Franklin township, came to his death very suddenly ii the following manner. He was on a load of oats in his field, loading them, and fell off to the ground, breaking some of his blood v. ssels and perhaps his spine, as he died in less than an hour from ha time he fell. Those with him, loading the oats, heard no noise and did not know he had fallen until they saw he did not take the cats as they handed them. He was an old and respectable citizen, and leaves a large family of orphans and fri nge to regret his loss.

After the circuuous performances on Tuesday night a lot of the bloods collected around Browning's and raised a gereral noise and t'isturbance some of them were taken up, and two were fined, with costs, $5 55 each. This is just right, and will be a lesson not soon forgotten by those tha' pay the fine. We consider they have had punishment nough, as it is not often they offend in this way, and withhold their-names lut should they be arrested again the public m-iist know it.

You Tickle Me, &c. The White Water Valley, published at Connersville, gives the Locomotive a very handsome puff, for which we are under obligations, many and great. The Valley is a popular

and well conducted journal, full of the pepper and ginger of

existence, and its editor is a man of good tas'e and fine discrimination. Anything else in our line that we can we will willingly do. On last Saturday Mr. Bradshaw was run over by a couple of runaw iy horses, while standing in front of the branch Bank. He was much bruised, but not seriously. We have iong expected to have fatal accidents to record in consequence of the carelessness in hitching horses, and it is almost a miracle that our citizens hav.; escaped as well as they have. ' , - It is a fact that many persons from the country were disappointed on Monday last by the non-arrival of the circus, as advenised. A great disappointment truly, I ut they savd their quarters. The best way to spend your quarters is to subscribe for "the Locomotive" steam Bulgine, and you will see the " helephant all along" every week. I,, William Herod, candidate for Congress in this District, niade a political speech in front of Browning's on Wednesday evening to quite a large crowd. We would call attention to the advertisement of thegrani' Diorama and Panorama of Mexico, in another column. Such exhibitions are much more profitable to witness than cir euses.

A New Bus. Browning, of the Hall, has just received from Ohio a new , Omnibus, large enough to seat 24 persons. Yesterday, Friday, was unniversally kept in this city as day of Humiliation and Pray r. The business houses were all closed, and divine service was held during the day in the churches.

Yesterday, a Karrawan, consisting of 4 buffalo and three antelopes passed through the city. They did not stop 'to ehow, as the licence shop is shut up. ' For new advertisements see 4th Page. ;

Police Items. The past has bern a busy week with the different officers of Justice. Fighting, rioting and disorderly conduct appears to have been the order of the day, and still " the war goes bravely on." On the Mayor's docket we find a record of the following cases, all entered since our last issue. Roger Shay, for assault and battery on John Lay; for threatening and challenging John Foley, and for appearing intoxicated within the limits of the city, three cases, was fined, with costs $14, in addition to which he spent one night in the Court House square. Henry Smith for an assault and battery on Michael Clark, with intention to commit murder, for which he had to pay in fine and costs $27 65. This was rather a bloody case Smith and Clark liv neighbors, and there has bern war and rumors of war between them and their families for some weeks. On last Friday Smith commenced this assault by striking Clark on the head with an axe, that laid bare hi3 skull, and afterwards on the shoulder, which made him insensible. The household of Mr Clark came to the rescue, with all manners and implement of war, and, as one of the witnesses said, " they were all engaged in it, just as they were in Mexico," and had a regular pi:ch battle. Perhaps the penalty will prevent a further outbreak, but should it not, we trust the Mayor will double the dose. - Henry Bhurig, for threatening and challenging Julius Reidell to fight, was fined with costs $5 91. , Frederick Bushnell and John Facknesky, foreigners, were fined $2 and costs each, for racing on Washington street. This race was quite amusing. They appeared to try and make figure 8's all along the s'reet, attracting theattention of all, and cjusing the dogs to bark and run after them. Fortunately no children happened to be in the way, and they broke nothing but the pence and quiet of the city. George Cook, for selling liquor, was fined, and he was bound over to next court for keeping a gaming house, under a bail of $75. Mary Ann Ince, for assault and battery on the body of Emeline Pollett, was fined, with costs, $7 39. E. Cinger was brought up for assau.t on C.Michael, but dissmissed. Augustus Prosser, for insulting Mrs. Catling, in the Circus on Tuesday night, by putting his hands under her clothes while she was sitting on the seat above him, was fined, with costs, $24 37. Other cases on docket not yet tried. I Before Squire Sullivan. F. Waddell, for committing an assault and battery on Banner Lawhead, was fined, with costs, $9 1.6. On Monday a young man named Pa'shall was charged with stealing or attempting to steal a horse, in the neighborhood of this city. This trial brought quite a cowd to the Squire's office, but he was honorably acquitted. Complaint was made against J P. Davis, by his wife, fir assauit and battery, the trial of which was set for the 14th nf August. , v
