a young man, Charles McClossin, an en-
ployee of Thos. G. Snyder, of Morris town
ship, whilst chopping logs recently, cut his
foot. The wound was not large, consequently
he paid but little attention to it, and was at
work in few days. 1t nfamed and became
SO painful that Mr.. Snyder thought best to
have him removed from the sscamp'' to his
house. DIR. Campbell was called in to see
him, and found that the wound had taken in
"erysipilatrus infammation.'' He suffered
very much for several days, but under proper
treatment he is fast recovering, and is now
able to walk about again.

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.--On last Saturday, one
of the most melancholy affairs that we have
ever been called upon to record, occurred in
the Borough of Curwensville. this county.
Alonzo Ross, aged about 25 years, son of Tbos.
Ross, Esq, committed suicide, the particu-
lars OF which are as follows The young
man has been in delicate health for couple
years. Last week he became so far reduced
that his friends gave up all hopes of his re-
covery-it was rot thought that his life would
be prolonged another week. He was weak and
confined, we believe, to his bed. On Saturday
morning he talked about shaving and going to
Baptist meeting to be held in the afternoon
About noon, during brief absence of the
family, except small brother, from the room,
he jumped out of bed and concentrating all
his energies in the effort, ran across the apart
ment, through another, entered small room,
where his father kept his surveying instru-
ments, shaving tools, &C., and the door of
winch had been accidentally left unlocked.
sot out the shaving cup and brush, sat down
upon chair before the looking glass as if to
shave, and in that position cut his throat with
the razor. All this was done in few seconds,
before his younger brother could give the a.
iarm or prevent it. There is no doubt that the
rash act was committed on the impulse of the
moment, whilst in state of sudden mental
alteration. He was an estimable young man,
consistent church member, and his distress-
ed family receive, as they should, the sympa-
thy of the whole community.

that should have occurred at Robertson's log
Job, on Little CearfieId creek. We have since
learned that it happened on McCann's logging
ground, on the 25th January, and that the
mans name is McKelsey. Whilst he was en-
gagged barking log, one of his hands was
similarly engaged at another the hill side
above him. When the latter turned his log
over on the peeled side, it slid rapidly down
the hill, struck the one Mr.. McKeIsey was
working at, and knocking it against a tree
close by, caught the legs of the latter be-
tween the tree and log, breaking one and bad
ly brusing the other. He is now doing well.

ToLgRATIoN IN SwEDBK.-The Swedish
Government has Just taken an important step

the present time no Jew has been permitted
to set up any business or exercise any profes-

the Government, which license could only be
obtained after much yexatious delay and con.
siderable expense. To put, an end to this
grievance the King, in accordance with the
Legislative Chambe has just decreed thai
every Jew, who has not been condemned foI
any criminal action, has permission to estab.

STUPIDITY OF ters, says
DIR. Buckland, if left on the rocks, never go
back to the water of their own accord; they
wait till 1t comes TO them. This popularity
was observed after q landslide on the coast Of
Dorsetshire, England, whach by its great
weight forced up a portion of the bottom OF the
sea- OA this suddenly elevated bit of ground
there happened TO be several Holsters, who
doubtless thought the low tide had taken place
with uncommon celerity, and that II would
return again. Anyhow, the foolish creatures
waited for the tide to come up and cover them.
Ofcourse it never did come up again they re-
manned in their places and died there, although
the water was in many Instances only few
feet from their noses. They had not the sense
to tumble into it and save their lives.

Fight in a CeH.-Yesterday morning at an
early hour, two prisoners in the Penitentiary,
w. j. Sommerville and Henry Abbott alias
Bernard handlin, got into fight before their
cell doors Were open, and the latter INFLICTED
several flesh wounds on the former, none of
which, however, are thought to be at all dan
aerous. Sommerville, it will be remembered
was convtcte in the Richmond Circuit Cour I
OF roboing the Custom House of a large SUM
OF gold, and in April, 1855, was sentenced to
the PenitentiarY for three years. His term
Will, therefore, expire the 18th OF next
april. Abbott was also convicted by the
Richmond Circuit Court of grand larceny,
ana ON the 18Th Of ofOctober, 1885, was sentenced
for ten years. As he had served one wear for
larceny committed in Lynchburg, under the
name OF Bernard Handiin, he was sentenced
by the Court to five additional years, so that
his imprisonment will not end till 1870. unless
pardoned by the Governor.
