win, Esq of Champion, in this county.
The deceased, in company with some twenty.

ried away the bridge The anxiety of Mr.. Bald.

New Jail.
WhRREN- July 10. 1853


MEssRs. EDITOEs:-I think the Grand Jury
are a little severe in their thoughts about the
duty of the County Commissioners. Perhaps
they are not aware that the Commissioner can
not build a new Jail without q vote of the PEG,
pie in favor of a tax for that purpose. The Leg
~islature, in their wisdom, thought best to pass
such a law. In order to carry that vote, We
must have a majority of all the votes cast at the
election when the question is submitted. The
vote is not, Jail, or no Jail, but each one must
vote for a new Jail. or his vote is counted against
the tax. IA very unfair way to submit a question
to the people) The Commissioners at their June
session. resolved to submit the question of a new
Jail to the voters at the October election. No
one that has examined the old Jail will deny
that it is a nuisance and disgrace to the county.
One gable end has been propped up for a long
time to keep it from falling In, and the building
is in a dilapidated condition from the stills to
the garrett, and ought TO be torn Town and Il
new one built in its place. To do this would
iavolve an expense of less than ! mill on the
dollar, on the Taxable property of the county
annually for two years.

Wool,

The wool trade for this season is nearly owe
so far as this town is concerned. a few of the
large growers in this vicinity still hold on tc
their clips, but the large majority have sold
A marked improvement in the manner of put.
ting up the fieeces, and in the washing, is to be
seen in the clip of this year.
We saw a lot of some two or three hundre
feeces belonging to Mr.. Henry L Woodrow, of
Champion, which was in very nice condition,
and some of it, of fine quality.
The largest lot, 1--WE b%elieve,) clipped on the
Western Reserve, by one man, is that of Mr..
VIM. Il. Beardsley, of Southington, and bought
n few days since, by our neighbors, Messrs.
Parks & Wentz, Of this place. This comprised
over 1000 ~fieeees, mostly fine wool, neatly put
up, and very clean. Mr.. Beardsley understands
his business, and every part, from washing the
sheep to saeking the wool, is done thoroughly
and well. His latest improvement, of covering
the shearing floor with oil cloth, cushioned with
hay, for the comfort of the shearer and the shorn
and to keep the feeces clean, is decidedly origi-
nal.

Sad Casualty.

On Wednesday, the 18th inst, Ward, son of
Mr.. Charles R. Turner, ofthis place, was fatally
wounded by the accidental discharge of a pistol.
He with a son of Mr.. Almon D. Webb, having
obtained a pistol, without the knowledge of
their parents, had loaded it with a heavy charge
of powder and shot. While the boys were play
ing together, the pistol was discharged, the shot
entering the throat of young Turner, several of
them passing through the windpipe, one lodg-
ing in the vertabrae of the spine, and one glanc-
ing downward and passing into the lungs.
He fingered until Friday night in great suffer
ing, when he was released by death. No blame
is attached to the son of Mr.. Webb, the sad af-
fair being purely accidental. The deceased was
a promising lad of nine years of age, and his
death adds another to the long list of warnings
of the danger of playing with firearms.
