We publish the following, by re
quest, from the Emporium Lid pen
dent. Death of Cornelius "Wainriglit.
Cornelius Wainright, a well-known I
lumberman of Dry Saw Mill, Elk Co.,
Pa., died at his residence tho :)lst of
July, aired 57 years and 1-1 days. The
deceased complained fitt in Novem
ber last and in February, considering
the danger of his illness, he sum
moned Dr DeLoitg of Emporium, by
letter, whose skillful treatment brought
the disease under control, and in
April ho went down the river, return
ing home again the 10th of May, and
from exposure during his rafting trip,
his former illness took hold of him
again. Dropr-y set in, making its ap
pearance first in the feet and ankle.-:.
Dr. Delong being in New York, Dr.
Bailing w;, sent for, and two days af
ter the family learned that Dr. De
Long had rf'turned homo, ho was im
mediately pa tolled for. When he
came he pronounced the ease uncer
tain, but at the request of the family
he proscribed remedies to meet the
case, ami for about six weeks of the
time the patient could neither lie
down or sit up, except by leaning for
ward, when in a chair, with his head
re-sling on a fixture constructed like a
carpenter's saw-!iorso, but finally got
so as to be able to lie down and seemed
to boon the mend, v. hen he took to
bleeding at the lungs and lived only
five days.
The decetifcd was born in Delaware
Co., N. J., near the forks of the Dele
ware river, where, after his father's
death, he became the owner of a farm
the nearest village being 1 uncock,
where ho did a thriving husimvs at
blacksiuithing. Contracted largely in
the purchase of lumber, and during
the rafting seasons ran down the
Delaware to Philadelphia. In l-lo lie
moved his family ;10:) miles on a raft
to Delanco, N. J., twelve miles above
Philadelphia where he brought a half
interest in a large saw-mill, manufac
tured oak and pine lumber, furnished
builders in the county and supplied a
shipyard In Wio he sold out to his
partner, a Mr Wilmarton, and moved
to Camden, N J., and engaged in the
wharf building business with Jona
than Powell of Philadelphia. Bought
the lumber of his old neighbors up the
Delaware. Got a bill passed in the
New Jersey Legislature to prohibit
people from running drift lumber up
ditches when the tide was high.
Gained the good will of the fisher
men and by the signatures got up a
petition that defeated a wealthy cor
poration from darning Iho Delaware
river. Secured the charter for the
Fanners and Mechanics Rank of
Camden, for a company of Quakers,
which gave him great financial
strength. Filled largo contracts with
the Government navy yard a Phila"
delphia. In 1S'7, on account of the
ill health of his family, he sold out at
Philadelphia and moved to the Sec
ond Fork, now Driftwood. Leased a
farm of John Coleman, together with
a hotel, blacksmith and wagon shop,
where ho conducted business until
ISti'J, when he moved up the Bennett's
Branch, where ho engaged in tho
lumber business again. In ISliS he
erected What is known as the Dry Saw
Mill, near Grant Station, from which
the post office took its name, which
he continued to run and swing the
blacksmith hammer until his recent
illness.
Although Mr. Wainright met with
many reverses and oft times compelled
to work under very discouraging cir
cumstances, ho moved along lu tho
same orbit, was liberal in his viws,
always expressed ids opinions without
fear or favor. He leaves a wife and
four children to mourn his loss.

had been stowed away with some

Ignorant of what it contained, drank
some of its contents. The mother
soon noticed that something was tho
matter with her child, who having
the bottle in her hand, led her mother
to suspect the trouble. As the symp

Eight weeks ago a little four years
of age, daughter of Mr. Henry Bos
singer of Lewistown, accidentally got
a common iron tack into her lung,
Child-like she foolishly put the tuck
into her mouth, and when about to
laugh or scream if lodged in the wind
pipe, and thence found its way down
to (he right lung. Medical aid could
hoof no avail; but. singularly enough,
tlio apprehensions at first entertained
that the accident must result in death
are not likely to bo verified. lOxcopt
iug a constant p.iiu in the right side,
the child docs not seem tu experience
any serious consequences, and, young
and robust in she Is, it is highly
pi'.jbable that nature's hand will work
a web or sack around the foreign sub
stance, (as is frequently the case in
llesh wounds,) and thus protect the
lung from serious injury for a iilo
time.

It is accounted for now. In a

everywhere:
A meeting of I risk Democrat.! was
held at Worcester, Mass., Monday
night, at which a committee was
chosen to perfect an organization for
the purpo.-o of opposing the nomina
tion of Charles Praucis Adams for
Governor by the Democrats. This
action is file result of .Mr. Adams'
action in relation to the l-'eniaus
.rhilv Miniver to England.
The breach between the Tammany
factions is gaping now more widely
than ever. Mr. Kelly would rather
sic Tiideil defeated than elected; he
proposes to support him only to main
tain his standing in the Democratic
party for focal purposes. If the quar
rel oY local factions is carried into the
State Convention, am! the eluims of
Tammany are rejected, Mr. Tilden
v." iil receive only ;i left-handed sup--port
from its spoils-hunting chiefs.
In tho course of his opening spt-eclli
Monday night, General Butler said:
"A short time since a cow was killed
at Wilkinson, Miss., and what was the
result of ii'.' Why, twenty-nine ne
groes were killed. Do you suppose
the killing of that cow was the reason'.'
No, it was the beginning of a poltieal
campaign. This was it. Yet let Con
gress be tilled with rebel generals, and
what would happen, with .Mr. Tilden
at the bead of ,.lho Government?
Would the dog wag tho tail or the.tail

New York Tttetraw; "Governor
Tilden should put the brakes en the
Louisiana Democrats. The Xew Or
leans I'icfiyiiitc has just published a
letter in which they are advised to 'as
sume an aggressive atliude, and turn
out of employment all negroes who
vote the Republican ticket. This cer
tainly is not what the Governor
meant by advising an aggressive
Democratic campaign, and it will cost
hii.i a great many voles if he does not
make iiis meaning clear to these ar
dent Southern partisans. "
The following letter is a clincher:
Seaiielil, l-'ort Hampton, N. Y. July,
lbTi) Dear Sir. Yours is received,
and I hasten to reply to it. Mr. Tilden
did not unite in the call for the great
Union meeting in Xew York after tho
attack and surrender of Port Sumter.
But he refused to attend it, though ur
gently i-olieiled to by one of his own
political friends. The meeting was
eat led for tlie purpose of sustaining
the ciovoriiinoiit, and to provide for
sending troops to Washington, which
was thought to be in danger of an at
tack by the Confederates. This fact
was publicly stated when Mr. Tilden
was a candidate for Governor in 18(51.
I am, dear sir, truly yours,
John A. Dxx.
W. E. Wl'issti'.k, Esy.
This is ex-Post muster General
Jewell's estimate of tho Itopublican
candidate; "Kuowinghini personally
inyoif, i lVel authoiMod in assuring
you that he is a modest, uiiassumingf
man, as courageous as a lion and linn
us a look in maintaining right and dis
charging duty. Wherever has been
the post of duty there has been found
Governor Hayes, always ready to do
bis part and always taking a load for
the right. Anil that is tho kind of a
man we want for President, who
would .sooner be sculped than to leave
his post of duty, or fail of doing his
full duty while at his post."
The Democratic, managers, nt Wash
ington have become alarmed at tho
enthusiasm with which the nomina
tions of Hayes and Yv heeler have been
received by the ex-soldiers of tho
Union army, and liu-vo eiuleavored to
counteract the movement by tho for
mation of a Soldiers' Veteran Associa
tion, with General Hooker as presi
dent and General Denver as chairman
of the Executive Committee. This
committee is engaged in preparing an
address in which they will try to show
how much the Democrats care and
have done for Union soldiers, and also
try to entice into their organization
tho.Mj credulous onus who favor Til
den's election.
