Horrible AcciUENT.-Last Monday tho mills at Highland Iclon'Miis to James & Evans were completely do. niolished by the bursting of a boiler, blowing tho mill to pieces and killm;,' a man named Smith, the engineer, who was the only one in the mill at the time. The man waa blown about one hundred and fifty yards and was found lodged in n hemlock tree about fifty foct hirh. HsF'ffliC proceedings of the Conven tion of School Directors held here on Tuesday having been rather dull and bpiriilcss, our (''' Dr. ('. LI. Ewrley performed a sorio coinieo act by way of iifterpiece, in which he essayed the part of Aunt Kcziah, General of the Ainbcr ill Bripade, imagining us to be the cno Uiy. To make his rou'osr.nt:ition cojd plete, lit only lacked the pepperbox, rolling pin and bag of dougbnuN. The umbrella he had, and flouri-hed it in a manner worthy of a vck r.i:i of the " Ambrrill Diigade." 1 1 is related ol the Elder Booth, that in his best acling upon the staao he seemed tofo:get that he was merely an actor and imagin :d that he was the rcul hero, to the real danger of his co-uetois. We for ;i time feared that the Doctor labored under a similar hallucination, but we did him injustice ; " Aunt Kcziah " had not tor. gotten her part, and after striking an artistic w, tho fatal blow was not flivrn. Impartial criticism requires us to Bay that the theatrical effect would have been better, if the fiiend who stepped forward and seized Aunt. Kcziah's amherill had done so before it was so evident there was no danger. IJut seriously, this quarrel was a mis take which gentlemen should not be guilty jf. Encounters of this kind whould be left to bruies ami blackguards. He are charitable and don't think the Doctor such a bad fellow after all ; we arc rather disposed to look upon this breach of propriety as only an exhibi. tion of an infirmity common to human nature. The Election. Tho School Directors of Elk county met in tho Court House on Tue day last for the purpose of electing a county Superintendent. There wero forty di rectors answered to their names. On motion, Henry Souther was elec. cd chairman and J. L. Brown Secre tary. On motion, the Convention proceeded to the nomination of candidates, as fol lows : Mr. James Blakely, of St. Mary's. Dr. Hr. 11". Shaw, of Kersey. Geo. JJ'almsley, of St. Mary's. The nominations wero then closed, and the balloting commenced. Mr. Blakcly was elected on tho first ballot, by a vote of 22 to 18. On motion, the Convention adjourn ed. The Oil City AVyiVcr says four. ' fifths, if not all the people cf the 20th district, are anxious that Mr. Culver should resign his seat in Congress. It contends that " if Congress fails to re move the tax on petroleum, it will bo clearly his fault." There is another so called representative of the petroleum iuterests wlio will have to t-harc the bluuie with Culver.
