THREE AccTDEETs IN HIRAM WITHIN
SHORT TMs.-lst. Fracture OF ribs-Mrs.
MERwIE, wife OF Bradley Merwin, was rid
iEg on horseback, when, in passing loaded
team, her horse was frightened, threw her
off and stepped on her right side. She is
recovering. 2. Dislocation y wrist jlint.-I
JOHN PURSE, while turning cart round, to
hitch in a team, slipped and dislocated his
wrist. He is doing well. 8. Compound
Fracture Of leg ubUve the ancle jIint. A
son of CHARLES RAYMOND, was riding down
a hill on a very heavy truck wagon after an
J OK team, when the team started to run and
he jumped out, aud the wheels, as is sup,
posed, passed over his left leg, fracturing
both bones about two inches above tke an.
Gle joint. A bad case. The leg was doub-
led up and the bones forced about three in.
ches through the flesh and skin. Drs.
PrATT aud TRAsK were called to treat the
case, and the patient Is doing well.
CREDITABLE.-Last week when the mon.
ey crisis was at its height, the Directors OF
the Ruvenna bank not knowing but through
the failure OF other establishments east, west
and all around them, they might be compell'
ed to suspend, sent word TO all their depos-
ito.s to withdraw their money from the
B,ak. This was done SO that in case Of O
suspension, the business men Of the county
need not have their funds locked up in the
vaults of O broken banking house. It was
highly creditable to the men who have
charge Of The bank. IF all bank directors
had perfurmed o similar act, hundreds and
thousands Of poor but honest men who are
now penniless, would never have been rob-
bed of their earnings.
The YOUNG MEMS LYoEUM--A SERIES
OF LECTURES FOR THE WIRTER.--Itis pear
. ly or gu te time for the Young Men oil the
Lyceum to be arranging for d series OF lee
; tures for the comi! fall and winter. The
enterprise begun and carried OH SO success
fully one year ago, ought not to be allowed
to l4ngush now. As means oi amuse
, ment and instruction to our people .urni-h
: ed too, "withnut money AID without price,
it cannot be equnlled. Election is owe
now. Long lights ere coming on and th

can be better than the ente 'tainments tur
nshed by tie Young Mems Lyceum. W.
hope soon to be able to announce a series 0
, lectures for the season.

CH1LDTsH.-Our friends, the Republicans
make great fl urish about their weight
}, issues and sacred principles; but when &C
tion is required, the very faithful have to b.
started by Silly and childish struggle 70

y little matter is really amusing. Wher

er came at all. Those giaring hand-bill
caused many smile: Try again.
