FATAL ACCIDENT.
Ens. Columbian:
Beuben Bredbender of Beaver Valley, one
of the hands employed by tho P, & It, Company
in repairing tho high trestling bridge's on the
Catawissa Bailroad, on Tuesday morning, (Juno
l'l, was thrown from Fisher's bridge, (near
Ma'uivilleJ, a distnnco of ouo hundred mid
eight feet, by a fulling piece of timber, mid
was instantly killed, William Mensinger a
companion of Bredbender narroly escaped n
similar fate. This sad accident throws a cloud
of gloom oi cr the usual uierry spirits of the
seventeen men who hourly risk their lives in
repairing these treatlings, xi, k. d.
Some men appear to misunderstand tho
proposed erection of water works, nud claim
thai the nuthoiities ougl't not to allow a tax to
bo imposed for tho supply to the town, If a
tax should bo imposed it would be so small
that no one would feel it much, whilo the
advantages to those who object to tho expeuse
would bo greater than to nny one else. It
would bring a largo amount of capital here
which would be used In paying laborurs to ho
employed In the town, It would reduce
insurauco.nnd give tho poor man who can not
afford to pay iusurancc, facilities fur preserving
bis property from fire, which might otherwise
eep away all he owns, In nuy aspect water
works will prove a blessing.

Tiik "Postage Due" Stamp. The "Postage
Due" stamp will be the next innovation in
our postal system. A recent act of Congress
makes u the duty of postmislers to aflix lo all
mall matter that has rear-heri Its destination
wilhout full payment of postage an amount of
stamps equal to the postage due. Heretofore
the amount has been mntked upon the letter or
package with stencil or pen. This regulation
will go Intoellecton the 1st of July next and
Ihe new stamps for this purpose arc being pre
pared, and issued, The denominations of Ihese
stamps nto one, two, three and five cents. They
arc of a unifotm reddili-brown color. On the
npper border the words "Postage Due" are
printed in while letters, and on the lower bor
der appears the demonlnation in letters of Ihe
same. By this system ihe department will
save n great deal of money now lost in small
post offices on underpaid mail matter.

BENTON NEWS.
It has been unusually dull in Benton, for the
past week, in regnrd to business, etc. Our
merchants and mechanics are not kept very
busy now, as it is about the dullest time of tho
year for them.
Do not fail to attend the Union Sunday-
School Celebration during tho day, and a
Festival in the evening, bold in Mnster's Grove,
near Benton, on the Fourth ol July.
Tho eel campaign has revived, in this place,
and is in full blast at present.
Quoit pitching has resumed in Benton again.
For tho past two or three years there has not
been much ol it done hero; but of late you can
hear them conversing: "My one; no it 'taint;
its our one; you lie, etc ," nt any time through
the day, when inside tho limits of a quarter of
a mile from the pitching ground, more or less.
Dr. T. C. McIIenry, of this place, met with
un accident, ono day last week. He was going
down the creek, and just us be got through the
Stillwater bridge his borso became frightened
and jumped to ono side of tho road down over
the abutment of the bridge, against the fence
Doctor, hor.'e, buggy and all went over
board. In the horse's desperate efforts to get
out of that unpleasant position, the harness
gave way and the animal got loose from the
vehicle, and started for Benton at a rapid gait,
but in passing several teams got somewhat
checked nnd was caught. The buggy dah was
warped a little, that was tho only injury done.
An npplausibie scene occurred here, one day
last week, in Frank McIIcnry's trying to plough
a small garden patch with one horse. When
be would get to tho end and go to turn round
the animal appeared to be rather light behind;
&o he secured a good sized boy lo ride the
horso. But that did not better it at nil, and
whenever ho would go to turn, you could see
a couple of horse shoes shining pretty well up
from the ground, for about two minutes, nnd
during that ceremony there were about four
ncbes of daylight visible, ns near as I could
judge, between the boy and horse's back. It
raised quite an applause among the eye-witnesses
to the affair.
Mr. Jacob Dildine, who resides about two
miles from this place, while at Light Street
last week, tied his horse and went ill a house,
anil whilo in the house, his horse became
frightened, broke loote, turned quickly around
and upset the buggy in tho street. The horse
was caught belore having a chance to do much
lamago. The buggy dash was entirely de
molished and one spring broken.
A small party of ladies from Stillwater,
passed through this place, on Saturday last,
enroute for the mountain to partake of a trout
dinner. Rev, D. M. K inter, who went over
in advance of tho party, was authorized to
catch tho trout, He caught ono hundred and
eighteen, and they hnd more than was necessary
for the crowd, aid enjoyed themselves to their
entire sitisfaction, Ihey made a good
selection when they chose Mr, Kinter for
their fisherman, ns he fully understands how to
secure them. On their return they hnd their
conveyance beautifully decorated.
Mr. Theodore Christy, whoso abode is in
Jackson, while coming up tho creek last week,
this side ot Oranguville, at a watering place,
thought that ho would water his horse; and
thinking it moro convenient for tho animal to
drink with the bridle ot', got out and took il ell'.
He no more than accomplished his design,
unlil away went the horse, up toward Jackson,
and in passing some teams the horse reenved
several blows over tho bead, but it was all in
vain. It is said that the buggy was badly
broken.
Tho leading citizens of Benton bavo all
taken an active part in our Fourth of July
Celebration, and are doing all in their power
to mnke it a success, They have been holding
meetings and always have large attendance,
which evidently shows that they are willing to
do nil they can to aid, Theio will boappropri
ate addresses to tho Sunday Schools. From
present indications there will be (should it bo
a fair day) a large concourso of people here
They cannot go to a better place to bayo a day
of enjoyment.

That the drive might not become tiresome we
bail arranged for a picnic dinner which we en
joyed in a pleasant little grove near Cole's
Creek, After a few hours rest the sun slsone
with less intensity and we resumed our drive.
The road, which winds around the foot of the
mountain ridges following the course of the
creek, is surrounded by beautiful anil romanlic
Bcenery, and as we drove on slowly we were de
lighted at every turn by some new scene some
freak of nature till we reached our destination
about 5 o'clock in the evening.
We were very hospitality received by the
sociable and pleasant manager of the Boarding
Hobse (Mr. William Cole) and shown to our
cool commodious apartments. After a refreshing
bath in the "clear cold water" for which this

the numerous trout runs coming in from the
mountain gorges,
Croquet and other games atfordeel amuse
ment evenings and ulien not in the woods.
Friday was spent in a visit to Loi'g Pond or
Gannga Lake ,
The Irip was pleasant (in every respect. The
waters clear and cool, Ihe rocks and path dry,
and the scenery romantic and splendid. Among
the principal objects of interest were "Big Falls"
ori Fishing creek, "Vigeore Falls" on "Pros.
pect Rock," and to crown all "Fair View" a
rocky eminence commanding a "fair view" of
all the mountains and country for miles around.
'Ihe air on the lop of the mountain was ex
tremely culd, but ileasant after our long tramp.
We found "Long Pond" and lis managers all
that is claimed for them. The building is en
ticing, commodious and comfortable. Situated
as it is iu ailearing on the top of the mountain
it commanels a splendid view. The lake which
lies a few rods northeast ot the llottl is a pen
fret picture. It Is about 1 mile in length j of
a mile wide. Ihe water was "as clear as crys
tal," Ihe surface in mauy places .being covered
with white caps looking like iearlson the watei.
The managers (Messrs, Rickelta and Conner)
were very sociable and pleasant, making our
short stay vt-ry enjoyable. After dinner (whieh
was relished by all), and a ride onthe lake we
returned to our boarding place, The trip
down Ihe fclen was no less pleasant than the as-c.-nt
In the morning. After spending a very
eijojuble evening and night wo started lor
home on Saturday morning, A last look at the
pleasant place we were leaving reminded us
that we had spent a very pleasant time indeed
Our Irip home was a continuation of enjoyment.
Slopping at Benlon we were recelvesl by Mr.
and Mrs. Hess in Ihelr usual kind and welcome
manner.
All reached houie in safety, feeling perfectly
satislitel wilh Ihe trip,
'To enjoy life la mau'a greatest blessing."

The State Agricultural Hoard has Issued lis
edict prohibiting county agricultural societies
that receive the annual $100 Stale appropria
tion, from ofierlng premiums for horse racing.
There can be trials of speeel but no premiums
can be offcreel without losing the $100
appropriation. Under this slate ol affairs Ihe
Norlhumbethnd County Agricultural Society
will not offer any such premiums at Ihe fair
Ihey will bold at this lace next fall, but we
understand that a horse fair will be held Im

premiums will be ofiered for trials of speed.

HANK TAX ASSESSOHS ABOLISHED.
By the 10th section of the general revenue
act which passed In the legislature in the last
hours and, we believe, has become a law by the
governor's signature, the office of bank tax as
scssor is abolished. The auditor general wdj
hereafter assess bank shares. Tho president
or cashier ofeach bank will hereafter be requir
ed, on or before March 1st of each year, to re
port under oath to the auditor general slating
specifically Ihe.amount of capital stock, and the
amount paid in full, a complete list of shares
holders with their residence and the number and
par value of shares and local market value. A
duplicate of each hank's report must be filed
with the county commissioners. The auditor
general will then assess the shares by inquiring
into ihe value of the stock, and either abate or
increase the value of the same as may bejustjas
proper. In n case of neglect or refusal of any
bank officer to make report as above slated ten
per cenluru is added to the tax of his bank. It
is estimated that about $25,000 will be annually
saved to the stale, now that the office of asses
sor has been abolished.

This sum divided by 27 ,Sfl 1,000 the number of

square rod, and 5 to a square foot. Suppose a

Sage's Catarrh Remedy has been unrivaled as a
