SERIOUS ACcIDENT-Wc learn that on
Saturday last son Of Lloyd Williams; of
Bourbon township, in this county, was
seriously injured by the fall of a horse on
which he vas riding at the time. lie is

We dropl ed into the photograph rooms
of J. r. Lcsey last Saturday, and were
shown by him photograph which he had
copied from an old ambrotype 1t was
a good evidence of his knowledge of pho
tographinc, and could hardly be cxcelled
in the larger cities of the east.
Tuesday. the 4th, was one of the hot
test days of the season. Everybody sought
the shade as much as possible bat it offer
cd little relief from the excessive heat
We betook ourself to the Restaurant Of
Stansbury and Stitzcl. several times dur
inc the day, which afforded much relief
and qualification, where We INDUCED in
several glasses of lemonade and as many
dishes of ice cream.
RETURHED-Ourfe fellow townsman, u.
O. Quivey, Esq. returned few days ago
from brief visit to the seat Of the late
Confc1eracy. lie says that We of the

Chicago. Mr.. Is. is looking exceedingly
well, and we are pleased that he has Sc
cured SO good situation, and wish him
abundant prosperity in his new position.
The trains passing through this place all
seem to 90 heavily loaded. Seeing the
immense number Of passengers daily pas
sing over the road, one is often inclined to
wonder where they all 90 to, and how so
many people cah afford the expense Of
:-avciing We guess, however, that it is
their business, not ours, and we repress
our curiosity with the reflection that the
railroad company at least is doing as we'll
as could be expected.

The CRoPs.-The farmers Of this coun-
~ are generally engaged in securing their
harvest Of small grain. The wheat will
rrove better than was anticipated being at
least a good average crop. Corn generally
looks Uell for the season. The late rains
have been rather excessive, preventing .
farmers from working he crop as much as
was desirable, but with fair weather now
enough work can be done to fully develop
the crop Oats Will generally give more /
than an average yield
ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE.-A man by the
name Of Peter Oliver Cohoe, a resident of

rope frstened BY one end to limb, while
the other was fixed around his neck by
moose, in which situation he was persuaded
to desist from making the fatal leap. He
was takeG in custody By the sheriff, and /
committed to jail to await examination.-I
Domestic troubles, &c, arc assigned as the
cause Of this rash act
