Accident. Last. Monday mom
ing between Bradford and South
Fewbury, four oxen belonging to
Mr. Israel Willard, of Bradford, got
upon the rail road track just in time
to hit the up freight train ; or rather
just in time for the up freight to hit
them. One of the oxen was instant
ly killed, and another ho badly hurt
that he was killed soon afterwards.
Tire other two cleared the track and
saved their beef. The engine and
five ears were thrown till' and con
siderably smashed. Three cars lay
crosswise the track at the end of
the excitement. We have not learn
ed the extent of the damage. Some
gay five hundred dollars, while oth
ers set it between one and two
thousaud.
persons allowing cattle to run in
fields beside the railroad should take
particular pains to keep the top rail 1
on the fence, gates shut and bars
up. We understand that in this
ease the bars were down, consequent
ly the oxen were killed, the cars
smashed and the down passenger
train delayed till one o'clock. There
were several "Yanks" on board the
delayed passenger and we presume
their nerves were pretty well un
strung, as they generally, like .Sam
.Slick's clocks, want "to he a going."
Any one wishing to buy or rent a
Tiouse in this village will do well to
look at the one advertised by A. A.
Earle before going elsewhere. The
house is ncie, well finished, pleasant
ly situated, and has all the neces
usury coiivcniencies that can be wish
ed for. Read advertisement in
another column, and then go and
take u look at the house and satisfy
yourself.
W. 15. & 0. S. Stevens have con
siderably .improved the outward ap

of paint. The new coat is what has
made the store look so much better,
and a new coat will make any wan
look like "another fellow," especial
ly if he has worn an old one for the
last six years. And the inside of
Stevens' store is where you can get
the aforesaid coat. Just go in and
try on one; and when yon have got
it on, look around you, and if you
don't want the coat and want any
thing else at all, and don't see it be
fore yon, c.kU for it ; it is there, and
the clerks will hear you the first time

New York, Nov. 3. Gen Butler
is now facing a howling mob in front
of the Citv Hall. It wan announc
ed that he would sjieak at .'5 o'clock
in Itchalf of the election of Horace

the speaker.
The City Hall I aiK stairs were
densely covered with men and lnrys,
who immediately began to cheer,
howl, and groan, and kept it up for
a considerable time.
Gen. Butler began his spcech.but
his voice was drowned lv the yells
of the mob. A line of policemen
all around the platform keep off the
rowdies, but they do not intcrlere
with the cries. There are a large
number of Republicans around the
stand, but they would probably be
outnumlered by the Democratic
mob if the policemen were not pres
ent. Butler is roused. It is splendid
to see him defiantly continuing his

be silent, but when he found that

but he is bound evidently to speuk
as long as he pleases.
There is now a crowd of about
20,HM in the Park and almost eve
rv sentence is re-echoed bv the re
publicans or yelled at by the Demo
erats. I could hear only a few sen
tences, but editors who have heard
all ot it say it is a very able and a
model of invective.
At least every third or fourth sen

The hij-h prices which have ruled
the provisi'iu markets for some live
years continue without abatement,
and on some articles almost indis
pensable for family use, thelv is
still an upward tendency. The sal
aries ami wages of some laborers
have been increased so as to corres
pond with the present cost of liv ing.
The salaries of some faithful coun
try clergyman remains at nearly the
same figure as before the war. And
ti this is to be added the fact, that
the occasional and seasonable gifts
received P.V mis class w iien prices
were low, have diminished in mini-1
ber ami value. How under these'
circumstances these ministers have
managed to sustain themselves with

really solicitous to witness more at

minister to lalr efficiently in his
calling should be relieved f'oni un
due anxiety in regard to p.oviding

The Baltimore Matteb. The
trouble in Baltimore, so far as any
practical control over to-day's elec
tion is concerned, appears to be dis
posed of. The old Police Commis
nioners have handsomely outgene
raled the Swann-Johnson pair. It
is true, thev had the right and the
biw on their side : but such was the
delicacy of the situation that less
discretion and tact than they have
shown might have precipitated a
bloody collision, or given the rebel
interest advantages that would iave
told disastrously upon the loyal wel
fare of Maryland. But tlianus to
their wisdom in causing the timely
arrest of the Swann appointees, and
to the perfectly judicious course es
tablished by Gen. Grant and carried
out bv Gen. Canny, the wlioie ques
tion will now be remitted to the con
sideration of the courts, after the
election shall have passed over and
all minds have become calm again.
This is a le'avy blow to the Mary
land rebels and their partisan sym
pathizers. It appears that the same
individuals who opened the bloody
drama of the rebellion by slaying
Massachusetts soldiers in the streets
tif Baltimore, or by furnishing arms
to those w ho used them in that at
tack, were now about to resume
their congenial work in the Swann
interest. They had leagued with
them both the' mob elements of Bal
timore and the concealed but bitter
aristocratic Packers of the rebels.
These, together with the rank and
file of the Democracy, wore deter
mined a all hazards to overthrow
the Unionists of Maryland and re
assume the control of the State.and
they confidently counted on Presi
dent Johnson's' helping the in to do
it bv means of the military. The
attempt has signally failed tor the
present, and we doubt if it can be
renewed in the future with much
better prospects of success.
Marriages Sikck the War.
It appears by official statistics that
the number of marriages in Ohio for
the year ending July 1, 18G6, is full
twenty per cent, above that in any
one year, either before or during the

this statement 44 probably there has
been a similar increase iu other
States, and if sj the waste of life
by the war is likely to be made up."

Mysterious Ahaik in Cincin
nati. Last Saturday as the sexton
of a Catholic church in Cincinnati
was about closing the doors, he dis
covered a woman sitting in oiu ol
the pews. Supposing her to be
.isleeo, he approached and touched
iier. liii-to nwakeii her, when
he was startled by the coldness 0!
her hand. and ran out declaring there
was a dead woman in the church.
Medical aid was summoned, when
the woman was restored to conscious
ness for a few minutes. She gave
her name as Anna Printer; said she
was from Philadelphia ; had been
drnsrifed and robbed in thecals:
that she had. in a half stupid con- j
dition. stopped at some hotel, w hat
one she did not know, but had the
key to her room, and that she had
wandered round till wearied, and
then sat down to rest. She was
taken to the hospital, and search
was made for the hotel, which was
found to be the Walnut Street
House. In a few minutes she re
lapsed into insensibility, and at last
accounts was lying at the point ot
death, all hopes of her recovery hav
ing vanished.
