| Mr. CovRult is much reduced IN nesh and
strength, but eats and sleeps well, and
will doubtless soon recover his usual
vigor. The successful treatment of this
extraordinary case reflects great credit

SAP ACCIDENT "A sad and fatal acei-
dent occurred last Tuesday evening.
One of the little New York boys adopt
ed by Mr.. Bayer was playing around
the cars, and, we learn, swinging on the
car, when he was thrown off and the
wheel passed over him, crushing one arm
and one leg in a frightful manner All
was done for him that could be, but his
system could not sustain the shock, and
he died next morning. Boys, are you
aware that it is dangerous to be playing
about the railroad? May the fate of this
little boy be warming to you to keep
away.-No6le County Journal - =

night, the room of Mr. g. 7. Isbell, in
this city, was entered by thief, and his
pocket book stolen. Mr.. Isbell inserted
card in the Courier, on Saturday, in
forming the rascel that certain passes
contained in the book were of no use to
sny person but the owner, and asking
their, return through the post-oshee. On
Monday The pocket book, minus about
fifty dollars in greenbacks, bat contain.
ingthe passes, some postage stamps,
&c,rwas received as requested. This
shows there is a little honor even among
thieves, and also forcibly illustrates the
benefit of advertising. asf 7sf IS
