HoSsID AccIDENT.-Mr. KIRKPATRICK
informs US that a most shocking accident
occurred in German township last Thurs
day. couple of Germans named JOHN
ULRICK and WILLIAM BARR, had been work.
ing together under a kind of partnership
during the last year. They were employed
with threshing machine during the sum-
mer, and managed the farm on which they
were living, Jointly. On Thursday BARR
was in the house cleaning a gun, prepara-
tory to starting on hunting excursion. A
little girl, aged three or four years, was
playing in the room at the time, the two
being all the persons in it, The gnn in
some unknown manner, was discharged,
the ball struck the child in the eye, and
penetrated through the head, knocking out
several teeth in its progress. BARR picked
the child up, took it into the other room,
and gave it TO its mother and Immediately
went out of the door, since which time
nothing whatever has been seen or heard of
him. The little sufferer fingered some
thirty or forty hours and expired.

Hoas.-None of ol.r slaughter houses have
commenced operations this season. No hogs
of any Importance have been brought into
the city for sale. What have been offered
for sale have generally been picked up by
the butchers, at about Sc per 100 lbs The
most prominent price now given is S. so.
The farmers evidently intend making the
hogs weigh the utmost figure, and will de-
lay selling, in order to get all the corn in
them possible. The profit is much greater
to put their corn into pork than to sell the
corn for the price now offered.

RELICS OF THE PAsT.-We noticed, Satur-
day morning, number of old fire hats and
shirts, at nelson's auction room. They
were the property of the Neptune Fire Com
pany, and we presume are all that is left
of that once enterprising organization. The
days of the b'hOys are ended. Steam has
usurped their perogations, and the blue shirts
aud hats alone remain to call to mind the
days when the tap of the d" alarm bell called
out an enthusiastic crowd, and the cheering
cry, "shske her up, boys" resounded
through the city.

THE WEBSTER HOMESTEAD AT MARSH
FIELD.-The Webster Statue Committee met

the Executive Committee as a perpetual
trust fund, the proceeds whereof are to be
devoted to keeping in repair the home of
Webster, at Marshfeld.

Mr.. Grew, of Pa, and Washburne, of
Me-, contended that Hickman had the right
to introduce the resolution.
Houston, of Ala, took the opposite side of
the argument.
