fOhIAGE
The Ravenna Democrat says;
Upon Wednesday morning last a slight
explosion of the engine boiler at Brad
ley's Ravenna Summit Mil, took place,
doing little damage to the machinery and
none to the building. About a year ago
d spot in the boiler gave way and was
patched up3This patch, upon the under
side at the front end, gave away again
the accident occurring soon after firing up
that morning and with the boiler full of
water. At the time of the occurrence,
Mr.. John Ney, the engineer and chief
miller, was standing Immediately in front
of the boiler and was badly sealded, the
steam and water passing upon him with
great violence. The entire front Of his
person was scalded moro or-fesS but his
hands and legs received the greatest in
jury. With great presence of mind Mr.,
Ney kept from inhaling any of the steam
and it is thought his lungs arenot injured
His condition is quite precarious, as he
has gone into a violent fever affecting his
brain and producing delirium'

Some little time since, Mr.. Jas. w.
Clark, of Streetsboro', having a surplus of
legal-tenders, placed them in a pocket
book, which he deposited in a ereKice in
his cellar wall, for safe keeping, throwing
a piece of carpet over the whole. Having
occasion afew days since, to draw on his
treasure, what was his CONSERVATION to
find that his deposit had fallen among
thieves. An examination proved that
the inhabitants Of a ~neighboring mouse
nest had been revealing in the Eurrepti-
tious possession of the handsome promises
to pay of Uncle Sam, and had richly m
bellished their cosy quarters with dainty
segregations thereof, having "chawed-np'
some four hundred and fifty dollars for
the purpose. Mr. Clark, last week, made
an affidavit of these facts, before Justice
Coleman, and has sent his statements to
the Treasury department, praying for
relief. Prior to this, Mr.. E. D.. Hinekly,
of Hiram, having seven hundred dollars
in $50 bonds, deposited his roll Of wealth,
for safe keeping, in his rst-snd-mouse
proof corn cob. The mice destroyed about
one-fourth the amount. Upon an affidavit
of the facts, accompanied by the frag-
ments, being forwarded to the Treasury
department. the amount was made good to
him.

flying and encouraging, and in some
others it was found no canvass had then
all, we believe, and the friends OF the en-
terprise are sanguine that a good report
will be had at the adjourned meeting Oh
Saturday the 10th of February.

of the saplng sprung up with such a force
as to break his jaw and n side Of his
nose, and seriously b%ruising all one side of
his face.
