They added largely n> th , lnt<T-j esl of ibu meeting. Everybody were warm ; in their commendations. Ami the ymlng i ladies who also kindly lent their ni l iti 1 singing are gratefully rcmctnlicrc I.

A runaway accident occurred n couple of miles from town, on the, L>liiengo foa I, lajt Snndny, which camo very near 1 resulting in loss of life. A Uuim belonging Io Mr. Alton Grant bscaine Irightuiad and took down the road after a buggy wliieli happened to be-passirig in which were Mr. and Mrs. Michn Sayler. As the frightened horses approached, the team belonging, to Mr. tjaylcr ti'ok flight and ran away, Ibrsjwmg -tha oeewpawta <sf flrehngry THTI,' severelyT'ijuring Mr. 8. and completely demolishing the buggy. Mrs, S. escaped without much injury. It was a nasty Runaway an l flic wonder is how 4hc parties e cubed with their live-. Ai voter of ordinary intelligence will find it ditiicujt to comprehend how it happens that a gentleman w lin.se property i.> scheduled at <IOO to $5,1X10 a id who has held one of the most profiablc. county offices three years cannot pay his taxes, but must let then) run-'lelinqcnt until they have reached up into the hundreds oti dollars. Still such is said to he the ease in Jnsper county; and the officer can keep m ttz c h orsc an d buggyi wear *g<Ttd ctoftieSL •moke vigors, nnd in lulge in many other fimhionhlile luxuries. Tln> <• "i'lic ’"Ivlil, paying interest 'wTileif - necessitates higher taxes that, impress the people, yet these fiat reformers somehow will not put into practice where they may the wonderful theories that Clmy so loudly talk.

A report rciclies The Vktos that one of the fiat candidates for a county office is uu king -an_el a Iturai e cauvn=a ul lhe rural school houses. His hearers say that be tells a pitiable story of want and suffering. Bo says jhat lie can not get work to do ; that his family in__lit the brink of Starvation ; that they are m t sufliciently elnd : that he is reduced by the legislation of the republican party Ul the condition of a miserable frieudhss Irnmp : that ho will not see lii< loved ones suffer in the midst u s -vrenhfc nud plenty,witliyutlTying to relieve them : that if relief is.ndt scon given desperate deeds will result.’ While Tiie Uxios rhinks ths gentlvmnfi dwellsn little m~the regions of exaggeration, swtl jii w oudd not want to know oftlre suffering of women and nuocet.t T/fties, utid suggests in all kindness of hc;nrt and the true spirit of charity that if tho husband and father will mike his wants known to the editor of this ptiper, temporary relief at least shall be uff irilid and the world at large be none the wi- tfor it. But don’t, for the love of wife and cliMttren, enter upon a carver ofefifne whichmust end in sorrow and shame. The speech, ns reported to us closely resembles the highwayntan's toast : Your monqy or your life. "r'~ — Nine years ngo, as the report goes, two youths wine hunting along the. Dinkamink creek, a few mil' s, above town. As .they approached the house of a neighbor, hidog run towards them making savage demonstration*. One of the boys fired aj. him, and.the charge, which was n Juiid -of fine "bird shot, crippled the His- owner ’fffe I complaint ngtinM thvjn -jniJ—pfp.y were fined and costed $lO each. One of the boys was poor and his c mpanioil, who bad nqt done, the shooting, pr.i 1 the fines of both. A few days ago the dog died > f old age. The owner, who is now a candidate for an important county office, a man Jeu 1 in his love of-jiLstiet£rrod-tILC-purLty..qL elections, etc'., went over to the young man who had |aid the fines, told him that hti hnd thought over the subject and concluded lie had been wrong. ■ He then paid back -sTo;?iw'irti rhe lml»r tliat ffiej might be. frietids. Now a question arises in th<’ mind of that voter if hc.is nut also entitled in fan. nine vents, if, ns admitted, the gentleman is satisfied that lie lias 1 ecu wrorgfully kept out of the use of it. There is a sneaking i lea creeping tip around the sides of this voter’s mind that the conscience $lO worth of electioneering in that little transaction, which has been a:l for naught.
