FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday eve
ning last, about 101 o'clock, Patrick Finn,
(formerly of C3lumbia) of Philadelphia, a
brakeman on the Penn'a 11. R. had the
misfortune to be mashed while in the act
of coupling ears, near the Dispatcher's Of
fice. His right arm was broken and con
tused, right hand mashed, right hip dislo
cated and right ankle joint crushed. He
was immediately conveyed to his MAher's
residence in this place; and Drs. Hotten
stein t Craig were called, and performed
all that was in the power of man, but of no
avail. Ire died at 5.1 o'clock on Sunday
morning. Ile leaves a wife and child to
mourn his loss. His remains were con
veyed to the cemetery on Tuesday, follow
ed by a very large concourse of citizens.
PRICES.—The high prices of all the
neeesstrries of life finlike the prospect be
fore the poor, this winter, a gloomy one.
The pleasant weather continuing so late
has been fitvorable, rendering a small out
lay thus necessary for fuel. Except this
however, mid, it may be, the continued
out-door einployment which the mild
weather perm i ts,t here is little upon which
the pour and those of restricted means can
felicitate themselves. If it were a year of
scarcity, if the crops had been cut olf,there
might be an excuse fur the extravagant
Prices, and men might be inclined to sub
mit to the suffering e):P•equent upon them,
without r. p nirg. 11 st there is 110 such

Police eases before Samuel Evans,
Esq., for the week ;
—William Gay urine complaint against
Edward and John Aurelius:or committing
two assaults upon him. The parties were
brought up by old Ironsides. From the
evidenee it appears that Gay went into
Mack's brewery on Union St.,on Saturday
evening where a number of Welshman
were drinking beer and some one made
the remark `• that. Gay was a good man.
Edward Aurelius could not whip
Both men are below the medium height
and rather delicate looking, but being un
der the influence of liquor, they both felt
fingerish. The defendant walked up to the
complainant and struck him a blow about
the head and knocked him down and then
commenced beating him with a chair.—
Thomas D. Jones then stepped forward
and struck the defendant a powerful blow,
which made him release Gay, who got up
and left the brewery with a broken jaw.—
He then went to Lawrence Smith's Tavern
to get a drink of brandy, where ho met
John Aurelius (brother of said defendant,)
I who advanced towards him and dealt him
a blow upon the cheek which broke coin
! plai 111 l nt's other jaw. The complainant
was otherwise hurt inwardly. Both de
fendants were bound over to answer at
January session.
—Edward Aurelius made complaint
against 'flimflam D. Jones tbr as - otalt and
battery. This affair grew out of the as
sault previously reported. Defendant dis
charged upon payment of the costs and
two dollars tine for being drunk, which
fine goes to the public schools of the Bor
ough.
—Thomas D. Jones the above defendant
I made complaint against John Aurelius for
assault and battery. This also grew out
of the assault and battery first mentioned
whilst Edward Aurelius had Gay down
pummeling him with a chair, Jones struck
him (B. A.) when John, his brother,
i knocked him down and gave him "divers
kicks." Defendant discharged upon pay
ment of costs, and two dollars fine for be
ingdrun k. Fine appropriated as in previ
ous case.
—William H. liar linen made complaint
against John Welsh for obtaining goods
under false pretenses. Defendant. was
taken before Justlee by Gotistable. From
the evidenen it Ippears that the defendant
went to the compkintiment store some time
in July last, pat{ oNctinud a certain amount
of goods, alleging th'at he as working for
the borough. *94 ty* it owed him. The
evidences showed that he was not working
for the Borough, and that it owed him
nothing. The defendant deeming discre
tion the part of valor, paid eamplainant
the amount of his bill and ensty, where
upon he was discharged.

River between Wrightsville and Coln ni
is frozen quite hard end people are now
walking- over on the ice. Of course the
little steam boat has quit run nlUg for the
present.--D,•nc Democrat.
The above is slightly . incorrect. People
are not walking over, as the boat is still
making regular trips. It is partly frozen
not sufficient to allow people to travel
over, nor does it have any etlect on the
ferry. Do not be in a hurry to close us up,
Mr. Democrat.
A.NOTIIEtt ACCIDENT.—Ou Mon .ay
last, as the cars were running from Malt
by (1.7 (Use's Rolling Mill to the Lt.& C. R.
It., a boy, aged about seven years, son of
Mr. Jacob Lutz,attempteci to jump on, but
slipped and fell beneath the cars, having
his right limb severed below the knee. Dr.
Bruner attended the patient and found it
necessary to amputate the limb above the
knee. From last accounts he was prosper
ing finely. This is another warning to
boys who are in the habit of jumping
upon the trains while moving.

LADIES' FASH lONs.—As our fries
are all interested in the fashions of the day,
we give an article from the Round Table,
showing the predominant color which will
be worn this winter by the female sex :
"The rage this season is for red—so
.say
the fashion writers. Red dresses, red
skirts, red jackets, rod cloaks, red in the
helmets, red ribbons to adorn the hair,Lnd,
to come to the latesLyarisian innovation,
bright red hooped skirts and equally
bright scarlet corsets. "What is the ob
ject of scarlet corsets and scarlet hooped
skirts ?" said a lady to the attendant in a
store where these gaudy articles were dis
played. "Object," repeated the woman,
eyeing her interlocutor contemptuously,
"why, they are the lateq style."
"This was sufficient. A garment may
be opposed to every idea of propriety,
good sense and taste ; it may be ugly in
itsulf,as well as unbeeoming to the wearer;
hut if it is the 'latest style,' that is indorse
ment enough ; the must courageous woman
would not after that dare to question its
claim to respect and admiration.
"The reign of scarlet is not incompatible
with the reign of gold, which has been in
augurated about the same ti ow, and di
vides the honors about equally in the
world of fashion. But what shall be done
with this rage for scarlet mid this rage fur
gold, which has broken out like the small
pox or erysipelas, and exhibits itself in
glaring blotches, in gilt bands and brassy
pendants, suitable enough as an adorn
ment for window curtains, but, to our
crude notion, out of place on the dfilieate
and graceful Ihrin of pretty women.
"Alen rule the nation, but women matte
men. And what sort of men shall these
women in scarlet and gold, mid gew-gaws
make P Alas ! not men honest, not men
true, not incorruptible, but false men,
treacherous men, scheming men,men wil
ling to sell themselves or their country
for that gold and mockery of wealth, the
love of which they drank in with their
mother's milk."

SEMI:KING ACCIDENTS.
MANY KILLED AND A LARGE NUM
BER WOUNDED.
Ovet• two hundred accidents from kick
ing and running away of horses occurred
during the past year, in Lancaster county
alone nearly all of which resulted in inju
ring the drivers, killing some, maitning
and wounding others, and in most cases,
breaking costly carriages and hurting the
horses.
or the above, nine-tenths were tame
family horses. The safety bridle will put
an end to all such needless Accidents, and
with the Safety Lines the speed of every
horse is easily much increased.
At the special meeting of the Saddlers of
Lancaster city, Nov. 27, 1865, the following
resolutions were unanitnously adopted:
Witnitmts,. The usefulness. power and
safety of Dr. Hartman's Safety Bridle and
Lines have been publicly demonstrated
demonstrated in the presence of from one
thousand to fifteen hundred persons to
their entire satisfaction; and since it was
proven at the Millersville horse exhibition
on four of the most vicious and confirmed
kickers and runaways, that with the Safety
and Lines; it is utterly impossible
for a horse either to kick or runaway;
therefore
- -
_Resolved, That we the Saddlers of Lan
ettster county, Pa., believe that the Safety
Bridle and Lines accomplish all and even
more, than is claimed by the patentee, in
preventing horses from kicking and run
ning away.
lie„soiecd, that itt view of the above facts
we deent it our legitimate duty, both indi
vidually and collectively, to exert all hon
orable means to at once introduce the
Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we
in a very great measure prevent all acci
dents with horses, while with the old and
defective bridle we put in great jeopardy
both life and limb.
Resolved, That hereafter we menu facture
no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi
ally ordered.
The price ofindividual Itigt ts is $5 each;
County Bights, from 100.00 to 500.00 accor
ding to population—these containing large
cities excepted.
No other investment before the public
presents such inducements of making
money. In every county there are at least
twenty townships, and in each township
at least one hundred persons who drive
horses—which at rive dollars for an indi
vidual right will amount to $5OO per town
ship, and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for
each county nt the rate of twenty townsnips
at five hundred dollars each! I have not
the least doubt but that amount of money
can be made out of a county with proper
business tact and energy. The price of
counties is so small as to place the invest-
mentjn the hands of every one, for few are
so poor as to be unable to raise one hun
dred dollars.
Another feature about this invention is
that the proprietor of the territory need not
manufaeture the bridleti and lines as the
ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a
Safety. The lines only require to be made
to order, and these can be made by any
saddler for a trifle more than the ordinary
lines. Hence, unlike other patents, the
right to use it only is sold.
No man need wish for a greater fortune
than right of a State. To show the confi
dence the patentee has in his invention,ho
offers to pay 1,000 dollars for any horse
that can either kick or run away when
under the influence of the Safety Bridle
and Lines. For County and State rights
address for circular, and for Individual
Rights, enclose five dollars to S. B. Hart
man, Millersville, Lancaster co., Pa.
