BEDFORD COUNTY ERECT!
The whole Democratic County
Ticket Elected!
THE SI'I.ITTEIWi SPI.IT!
If,til's Poor House Ticket Terribly
■eaten.
The result of the election in this
county on Tuesday last, is most cheer
ing to the true men who stood by the
Democratic ticket. Owing to the in
clemency of the weather, our majority
for the state and legislative tickets, is
not so large as it would have been had
the day been a fair one, yet our victo
ry is substantial and complete. The
dissensions on the Sheriff question,
kept some voters from the polls, though
Mr. Keyser, the democratic nomi
nee for that office, is elected by a hand
some majority. The effort of a
few shallow-pated radical politicians to
make capital against our candidates
for Commisioner and Poor Director, re
suited in utter failure. Messrs Elder
and Pencyl are elected by a larger ma- j
jority than that given for the State
ticket. The triumph oyer the radical
tricksters and the disaffected in our
own ranks, on Tuesday last, teaches
the lessen that it is useless to under
take to defeat a regular Democratic
nomination in this county. Perhaps
some people will profit by this experi
ence. The majority for Packer in the
county will not vary much from 350,
hut may exceed it. All the districts
have been heard from except South
ampton, which last year gave 190
Democratic majority. Owing to the
rain, this majority has, doubtless, fall
en of considerably, as it is not probable
that its heavy Democratic vote was
fully polled. If it gave the same vote
a> last year, Packer's majority would
be 390 in the county.

The race between Findlay, (Dem.)and j

EX-PItISI DF.NT PI EK< E.
Tho death of Ex-President Pierce
took place at Concord, New Hamp
shire, on the morning of the Bth inst.
Including Tyler and Fillmore, he
was the fourteenth President of the
United States, lie was born in the
town of Hillsboro', N. H., in 1804.
His father, General Pierce, served first
in the ranks and afterwards as an offi
cer, throughout the revolutionary war,
and in 1527, at the ripe age of sixty
nine, was elected Governor of New
Hampshire and afterwards le-elected
to the same office in 1829. His son,
the subject of this brief memoir, grad
uated at Bowdoin College in 1824 with
marked distinction, and, entering the
law office of Judge Woodbury, at
Portsmouth, soon afterwards removed
to Northampton, Mass., where he
spent two years pursuing his prepar
atory studies in the law school there
and in the office of Judge Parker at
Amherst, and in 1827 he was admit
ted to the bar. His entry was any
thing but brilliant. It is recorded of
him, in fact, that his first case was a
marked failure. Put he was not dis
couraged, and remarked to a friend:
"I will try nine hundred and ninety
nine ca.-es, if clients will continue to
trust me, and if I fail, as I have to
day, will try the thousandth. I shall
live to nrgne cases in this court house
in a manner that will mortify neither
myself nor my friends." Nor was
he disappointed. Put his attention
was soon turned to polities. He
and his father were active suppor
ters of Gen. Jackson, and in 1829
the son was elected to the State
legislature from his native town of
ii illshoro', and was re-elected for four
successive years, serving as Speaker the
last two.
In 1833 he was elected to Congress,
and again elected for a second term.
II Is record there was not particularly
brilliant, although he was known as
one of the most faithful and laborious
members, the leading measures of
Jackson's brilliant administration find
ing in him a warm and ardent advo
cate. In 1837 he was chosen United
States Senator and took his seat in
that body as its youngest member at
the beginning of the administration of
Mr. Van Buren. Such men as Clav,
Calhoun, Webster, Benton, Woodbury
and Wright occupied seats in the Sen
ate then. But in defense ol democrat
ic ideas on all question* a fleeting tiie
finances, the tariff, National Banking,
&c., running through the contest of
1840 and the election of Harrison, Mr,
Pierce was looked upon by the democ
racy as among their ablest men.
In 184G President Polk tendered him
the appointment of Attorney General,
which he refused, alleging that public
life was not suited to his taste.
On the breaking out ol the Mexican
war he enrolled himself as a private
soldier in a Massachusetts regiment,
and soon afterwards received a Colo
nel's commission from President Polk,
who, in 1847, raised him to the rank
of Brigadier General. He was in most
of the battles fought between Vera
Cruz and the city of Mexico. On the
restoration of peace he returned home
and resumed the practice of the law.
la 1 8.30 lie was elected a member of the
Convention to revise the Constitution
of New Hampshire, and in 1832, after
thirty-five bid lutings, was nominated
asefjfoTTi PfG
by the DjStiocratic National Conven
tion for the I'residency. He was elec
ted iii November of the same year,
ami served to the end of his term, the
courtry meanwhile enjoying the high
est state of prosperity. Soon after his
retirement he visited Europe, making
an extensive tour, and, returning in
IStiO, has lived in retirement eversince.
He was high-toned, honorable and
genial to the highest degree, and as a
statesman, if he did not outrank the
most notable of his predecessors, he
was at least their equal in wearing
worthily the dignity of his high office.
Although the victim of unceasing a
buse, poured out by political foes+ per
haps not one of them would now hesi
tate to say that 110 man ever left the
Presidential chair wiih a more stain
less reputation than General FRANK
LIN PIKRCE.
A TEXAS l'HAfiKV —AN INSANE MAN
MIKDEKS IBIS FATHER. HIS
<Tttl.ll AND ACEERia-
MAN.
The Waco (Texas) Register relates
the following sad tragedy:
On Tuesday night a week James
Met'arty, Jr., in a fit of insanity mur
dered his own father, his own little
son six or seven years of age, and a
neighbor, the Rev. Henry Hurley.—
All the parties are residents of Erath
county.
The circumstances, as we gather the
horrid details, were these: For.some
months,at different times, James Mc
t'arty had shown signs of mental aber
ration. On the day previous to the
dreadful occurrence McCarty expressed
the wish to his wife to be baptized
rigiit away by the Rev. Mr. Hurley,
lie soon left his home on Duffau creek
and proceeded up the creek several
miles to where his father, James Mc-
Carty, Sr., lived. He told his father
of his intentions of being baptized by
Mr. Hurley, but his father persuaded
him to remain where lie was and he
would go after Mr. Ilurley, who lived
several miles off The son agreed to
this, Out when in the evening the
father returned with Mr. Hurly it was
found that the son had gone back
home.
The father and Mr. Ilurley follow
ed to the residence of the insane man.
Bedtime came and all retired for the
night. Mr. McCarty. Sr., and Mr.
Hurley occupying the same bed in a
separate room. In the night the wife
of McCarty, Jr., was aroused by her
husband, who demanded a light, and
was looking for his six shooter. Mrs.
McCarty was alarmed, escaped the
house and screamed, but too late. The
insane man had made ready his pistol,
entered the room where his father and
Mr. Hurley wcie sleeping, and shot
both in the head, as is supposed, before
they awoke. He then called his little
son and bade him sit down on the door
step and remain quiet until he returned.
The father then went to the creek, a
little distance off and got a rock. Re
turning with this he ordered the child
to lean over and lay its head upon a
block, near which the child was sitting.
The innocent child obeyed, when the
father, with one blow from the rock,
mashed out its brains.
James McCarty, Jr., is not far from
thirty-live years of age, has always
born an irreproachable character for
industry, sobriety and integrity, and
was universally esteemed as a good
citizen. The Rev. Henry Hurley
and James McCarty, Sr., were both
old and prominent citizens of Erath,
aged and gray haired men. They
were both universally esteemed and
respected. Erath had no better citi
zens than they.
SINGULAR DIVORCE.— A husband
pay* his wife $2,000 to desert him. —The
St. Louis (Mo.) Time#, of Sept. 21,
gives currency to tiie following ingu
larca.se: It will be recollected by the
readers of the Time# that a week ago
Philip Hessdorfer was arrested on the
camplaint of his wife, who charged
him with committing wilful perjury
in hL testimony before the Circuit
Court, for the purpose of procuring a
divorce. It appears that about a year
ago Hessdorfer and his wife, finding
that in their domestic affairsthey could
agree only in disagreeing, decided to
separate the on following terms: She
was to receive a cash payment of $l,OOO
and leave the city, and one year after
thedateof her withdrawal wastobepaid
an additional $l,OOO, and in the mean
time he was to secure a divorce on the
ground of disertion. She left the city
and took up her abode in Cincinnati.
Hessdorfer applied and obtained a di
vorce without any resistance. A week
ago, the year having expired, she re
turned to the city for the purpose of
collecting her little deposit, and in
stead of calling upon her former hus
band she visited some friends, who
persuaded her to institute suit. She
consented,supposing a civil action had
been commenced for the recovery of
the money, and when she learned that
an arrest had been made she refused
to prosecute. She says that her hus
band was not guilty of any criminal of
fence, whatever, and that the divorce
was obtained with her knowledge and
consent. When she called upon him
he consented to her recievingthe $l,OOO
and it was accordingly paid over,
when she refused io f >llow up the suit,
and the case was accordingly dismissed
yesterday for want of prosecution. In
possession of the money, Mrs. Henri
etta Hessdorfer left the city, and prom
ises to give her former husband no fur
ther trouble. This case is very much
unlike many others in the courts, and
particularly unlike those where two
men have sued for damages on account
of losing their wives. Hessdorfer, on
the contrary, actually pays a large sum
to assist his spouse to "desert" him,
which according to the laws of this
State, furnishes a valid ground for di
vorce.
A lady recently sent to request a fe
male friend to accompany her to Grace
Church. The reply came back: "Sor
ry, hut I'm dressed for St. Paul's."
FCHITIII Accident nl Indiftiiapoliß Hid.:
Twenty Person* Milled and Fifty
Wounded.
A terrible accident occurred at the
State Fair Grounds at Indianapolis,
Ir,d., on the Ist inst.; which was the
most heart rending that ever occurred
in that vicinity, and has cast a gloom
over the entire city. The explosion
took place at four o'clock, while the
grounds were crowded with visitors.
The boiler was attached to the saw
mill of Messrs. Sinker & Co., of Indian
apolis, and had just been fired up for
a test with another machine, and ar
rangements had been made to take it
up as soon as the trial was over. As
far as can be ascertained nineteen per
sons were killed. The excitement and
confusion were so great that it is dif
ficult to obtain a correct list of the
wounded. The number of wounded
will reach nearly one hundred. Most
of the dead were removed to \V. W.
Weaver's undertaker's office, where an
inquest was held. Many of the bodies
were horribly mutilated and burned,
and in some cases it will be imposible
for their friends to recognize them.
Many of the most severely wounded
were conveyed to the Indiana Surgical
Institution, the proprietors of which
as soon as they heard of the accident
tendered the use of their establishment
for the wounded, and have been untir
ing in their efforts to alleviate their
sufferings.
A little baby was killed in its fath
er's arms and the father escaped with
out injury. Governor Baker was on
the ground at the time of the explo
sion. A portion of the boiler passed
over his head and struck his coach
man who was standing a few feet be
hind him, injuring him, seriously.—
The scene after the accident was most
heartrending. Many of the killed
were torn into fragments. In one fam
ily, consisting of a mother and three
children, the mother was killed and the
two elder children badly scalded, the
youngest was unhurt.
Among the frightful incidents that
occurred at the explosion, it is related
that one man had his breast and abdo
men torn open so that the heart and
entrals were exposed, the heart con
tinuing to palpitate visibly for some
tim •. A woman is reported to have
given birth prematurely to a child dur
ing the panic that succeeded the explo
sion, and many of the wounded are
thought to have been trodden to death
by the crowd.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
INDIANAPOEIS, Ind., Oct. 2.—The
morning papers give the number kil- !
led by the boiler explosion at the State j
Fair, yesterday, as 27, the wounded, as
50. The wounded doubtless exceeds
that number, as many were taken im
mediately to their homes andjnoreport
has been made of them. The most
dangerously wounded were taken to
the Indiana Surgical Institute.
It seems to be the general opinion
that the cause of the explosion was a
want of water in the boiler. The Cor
oner's Jury aie in session to-day, but
have not rendered the verdict. Five
horses were killed by the explosion.
N F.WS IT ENS.
By the news we receive from Tennes
see from day to day it is evident that
Fix-President Andrew Johnson is a
head of all competitors for the United
States Senate. Good, and amen, we
say. No more useful man could be
sent to the Senate. Congress is corrupt
to the core. Andy is both honest and
vigilant, and, with all his crotchets
and failings, he will prove a very
watchdog to the Treasury. He is fear
less and experienced in Congressional
tactics, too, and will rake scheming
politicians and Treasurer plunderers
fore and aft. Besides, he has his per
sonal enmities to gratify on the im
peachers and leading Radicals, and he
is not the man to forget these, which
will make things very lively in Con
gress and tie a good thing for the news
papers. Tennessee could not do better
than to send the Ex-President to the
United States Senate. —A. Y. Herald,

WASHINGTON, Oct. B.— A letter from
General Alfred Sully, from Helena,
Montana Territory, received by Com
missioner Parker yesterday morning,
states that the Blackfeet Indians in
that region are becoming very trouble
some. Lately they have committed
two or three murders, and in the open
day entered white encampments and
drove away horses and mules with the
greatest audacity. F'our hundred and
fifty head of horses and mules were
thus driven off from white settlements
within a very few days. General Sul
ly writes that the only remedy he
knows of now is to pursue the savages
and punish them, which he proposes
to do without delay.
WASHINGTON, Oct. B.— M. Frignet,
an agent of the Rothchilds, isexpected
in this city shortly. M. Frignet coincs
here, it is stated, to tender on the part
| of the famous hankers a loan to any
extent that our Government may de
sire. This voluntary action on the
i part of the Rothchilds is said to have
been prompted by the discovery that
| certain German capitalists were eon
; tern plating offering our Government
| a loan at four per cent. M. Frignet is
said to be authorised to make the
same proposition.
The sound steamers on the line be

This medical preparation is now offered to the
fiublic as a reliable substitute for the many worth
ess compounds which now flood the market. It
is purely vegetable, composed of various herbs,
gathered from the great storehouse of nature,
and selected with the utmost care. It is not
recommended as a CL'RE ALL, but by its direct
and salutary influence upon the Ileart. Liver,
Kidneys, Lungs, Stomaeh and Bowels, it acts
both as a preventive and cure for many of the
diseases to which those organs are subject- It is
a reliable Family Medicine, and can be taken by
either intant or adult with the same beneficial re
sults It is a certain, prompt and speedy remedy
for DIARRIKEA, DYSENTERY, BOWEL COM
PLAINT, DYSPEPSIA. LOWNESSOF SPIRITS,
FAINTINGS, SICK-lIEADACHE, Ac. For Chills
and Fevers of all kinds, it is far better and safer
than quinine, without any of its pernicious effects.
It creates an appetite, proves a powerful digester
of food, and will counteract the effects of liquor
in a few minutes.
