In the early days of the repuolic mud sliog- wg of the most objectionable kind ; direct personal sttsciks that stopped at pothing, were common features of every campaign. Washington, Jeffer- son aud Jackson ln particular were as- salled by character assassins and the Father of his Country, who knew about as well as any man who ever oo cupied the Presidential chair how to couceal his feelings from the public, suflered not a little because of thess attacks and on more than one occa- sion permitied this to become known.

Harnish, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Lemont, had an unfortunate experience Wednesday night of last week, which resulted in him breaking the bones in one of his arme, and narrowly escaped death by drowning. The minister had filled an appeintment in Buffalo Run Valley, and was returning home when he was caught in the rain storm well remem- bered by every one in this locality, It became so dark that Mr, Harnish was obliged to leave his vehicle and lead his horse, When he reached the bridge near Daniel Houser's, at Houserville, the horse frightened at a vivid flash of lightoing, and threw bimeelf and Mr. Harnish over the bridge into the creek, the water being more than waist high. With a brok- en arm, the minister needed all his strength to release himself and ford the stream, and finally found his way to the Houser home, where his ex- periences were related and he was cared for, while others released the horss in the creek, which was accom- plished by taking snother horse into the stream and taking the two out together.

Publishers naturally object to any increasa in rates, and it is not without reason that they contend that if this class of mail is handled at a loss the thing t)» do is not to increase rates, but to follow the methods of any intelligently managed corporation and reduce the cost by im. proving the methods of handling. Ou the other hand, there will be al- most unanimous agreement with the President's statement that it is inop- portune to talk about the postal de- partment taking over the telegraph lines of the country. The situation with regard to this could pot be put better thn the President puts it when hesays : *“ It seems to me that the copsideration of the question ought to re postponed until! after the postal sav- ings banks have come into complete and smooth operation and after a par- cele post has been established, not only upon the rural routes and the city deliveries, but also throughout the de- partment. It will take some time to perfect these additions to the activities of the Postoffice Department, and we may well awail their complete snd sucessful adoption before we take on a new burden id this very ex'ended de- partment.
