Almost a Serious Accident.
A countryman, whose name we did
not learn, was in the city yesterday,
with his wife. During the morning
he left her atul imbibed too freely of
benzine, getting himself into a dashing
reckie<3 mood, which boded trouble
in one way or another. His wife
thought it best to get him off home,
aud finally pursuaded him to start.
They got into their buggy and the
man without rogard for consequences,
put the horse at full speed. They
came down Thomas street, the man
urging tho horse to n faster gait and
the woman clinging to his arm for
dear life. Reaching Broad street
they turned suddenly arouud the cor
ner al Bloomfield & Sanford’s, to the
tumiueul danger of breaking their
necks. Going down the hill they
came to the coiner of Foundry street
where in attempting to turn as he**
fore both were thrown headlong into
the street. The woman was consider
ably bruised but the man escaped
without much injury. After the ac
cident the wife said she was afraid t 0
go home with her husband in his
drunken condition and refused to re
turn to the buggy. We didn’t learn
what became ot them.

University at that time. He has just

Baptist convention for that city
and section. His duparture from

The case of R. T. Wilson & Co. vs
A. R Johnson begun on Friday was
not finished until yesterday. It was
warmly contested, with T. \V. Rucks
er. and E. T. Brown, Esq*, for plain

D Thomas, Esq, for defendant. A

No other case was tried, and after

It seems that tho negro women
charged with receiving the good* sto

on n technicality. The manner in
which the hill wan drawn ami the
charge of the court caused the jury
to render a verdict of not guilty
though .there was considerable eyi-
dencu^Lo sustain the charge.
The New York Commercial on
election day quoted the venerable
Thurlow Weed as saying that “he
had just cast his ’sixtieth election
vote,’ and had cast more votes than
any other living man in this city.’’
On which the World sagaciously re
marks that “ ‘sixty votes’ are a good
day’s work, no doubt, and a very
good day’s work for a man so well on
in years as Mr. Weed.” If Mr. Weed
were young and vigorous his career
as a repeater would be unsurpassable.

The Influence of a Woman.
Henry P. Journeay, of the firm of
Journeay & Burnham, of Brooklyn,N.
Y., had a misunderstanding with his
