shockingly injured, on Friday last, at the
Wooden Bowl Factory of Hanson d Bowlus,
about three miles South West of Fremont,
by being caught in the Engine belt. No
other person being present in the Engine
room at the time of the accident, it is sup
posed that the unfortunate young man was
drawn in by the skirt of his coat, and whirl-
ed round perhaps dozen times or until the
belt of the Engine, which is of 2O-horse-
power, snapped in two, allowing the body to
drop out. This was the first notice the en-
ployers in the Factory had of the occurrence.
He was taken up in an insensible condition.
both legs found broken at the thigh, and left
arm so badly shattered that amputatioa was
necessary. He was also serisouly injured
internally. Recovery doubtful. He was
not employed in the establishment, but was
simply looking at the machinery,

The Raoes.-The running match be-
tween Fremont Mack and Lady Fanny. ad-
vertised for Saturday afternoon at the Driv-
ing Park, came off according to programme
| in spite of the unfavorableness of the
weather. For several days previous and up to
noon of Saturday it had rained almost in
cessantly and in consequence the attendance
at the Park was slim and the track very
heavy. At noon the clouds broke away and
gave promise of clear weather.
FIRST HEAr-About $50 the horses were
brought to the score ready for start, Lady
Fanny having the pole, Mack next and Fre-
mont outside. After some little trouble in
the start, owing to the unmanageabless of
Fremont, they got of, Fremont taking the
lead from the score. The gap was soon
closed up by Mack, and the frat quarter
they made running neck and neck,-Fre-
mont unable to shake off his adversary un-
til Mack's saddle, on account of the awk-
wardness of the rider, slipped back across
his loins leaving his rider forward of it.
Fremont then took the lead and won the
heat in 1:26, Mack I'd, Lady Fanny Sd.
SECOND HEAT.-While running the first
heat a hard rain came on, and the second
heat was run while yet storming. Fremont
taking the lead at the start and running
with ease in :2s, Mack ID, Lady Fanny
Sd.
THIRD HEAr.-The rain still continued
and by the time the horses were ready to start
the track was ankle deep in mud. Fremont
again took the lead at the start and main
tanned it to the end, running with ease in
1:39. Mack I'd, Fanny Distanced. During
this heat there was the same trouble with
Mack's saddle as in the first, and he came in
with it hanging about his loins.

The Choir and members of the N. E..
Church, on Thursday evening of last week
the 23d inst. very pleasantly surprised
Henry Lesher Esq, Chorister of the Church
for some ten years, with the presentation Of
a beautiful Silver Tea Set, consisting of six
pieces.
At meeting of the officiary, and few

choir which was singing above was invited
down to favor them with piece of music
after which presentation address was made
by W. W. Ross, Esq, who spoke as followsi
MR. LEsHER-Sir:-The pleasing duty
has devolved upon me this evening, in be-
half of the Choir and members of the
Methodist Episcopal Denomination of this
place to express to you their appreciation
and gratitude for your many years services
as Chorister Of this Church.
For period of some ten or twelve years
they have been wont to depend upon you as
leader of the musical exercises of the church
worship.
They have marked the interest you have
ever manifested in behalf of the welfare of
the Church in this connection, and have
observed and appreciated the zeal that has
prompted your regular attention upon the
weekly church services, s,-your labors in
sustaining an organized Choir, and in behalf
of the children of the Sabbath School.
/ They are aware of the difficulties attend
ant upon the maintenance of all Choir or
CARNATIONS, and are not unconscious of the
difficulties you have been obliged to meet.
They feel however that they can congratu-
late you upon the ability Of yourmanage-
ment and the success that has crowned your
efforts. They propose no remuneration for
your labors. They have no adequate COM
pensation to offer but as a token of their
appreciation, as testimonial of their graft
tude for your valuable services you will
please accept of this Silver Tea Set.
Trusting that you have already received
higher compensation in the consciousness of
good works performed, that the pleasant re-
lations you have sustained for so many years
to this church as its Chorister, may long be
continued, and that ultimately yours may
be more perfect reward, that it may be
your privilege and ours to continue the
praises Of earth in the Choir of Heaven,
you viii permit me in conclusion to extend
with these testimonials our kindest wishes
and sincere regards.
The ability that has ever characterized
your management of this department of
church organization, the general satisfaction
given and the success that has rewarded
your efforts.
Mr.. Lesher although taken completely by
surprise returned his thanks in brief and
appropriate reply. The, affair proved
pleasant one to all concerned. q.
Miss Maria Chubb and Miss Mary KridIer
are entitled to thanks for their agency in
securing this merited acknowledgment of
appreciation and gratitude on the part of the
Choir and Church.

A Beautiful Letter.-The following
beautiful letter was written by a lady to her
daughter in this place, on the anniversary Of
her seventy-fifth birth day.
JANEsvILLE, May 18th, 1867.
My birthday, how the tide of time
D., Has hurried me along,
Till years seem but the echo
Ofsome half forgotten song.
And yet l am the object of Gods tender
care. This day l am seventy-fve. Il is a
pleasant May day, the winter is past, spring
has returned in its season with all its charms,
and when l take my yearly retrospect and
look back on the winter of life, there has
been but little to charm but the glorious pros
pect of spring that will open beyond the
grave. With new charms it brightens the
toll worn way and is a lamp to my feet
can say with the Psalmist, that surely good
ness and mercy have followed me all my
days, and / am at present in the full possess
sion of all my faculties and my natural force
is not abated. Although l sometimes get
weary in body and mind, yet little rest is
all the restorative that 1 require; and am
hedged about and spared another year. Nv
branches have been cut off one after another
end numbered with the dead. Worldly
prospects have vanished, still / can tell of
his mercies and blessings Your father vet
lives; he was seventy-four last January; he
is blest with good health and is cultiyating
his little spot of earth; he is this week pre-
pairing the ground for corn. can surely say
our last days are our best days. In early life
our minds were engrosed with the cares of
family and in pursuit of gain that proffiteth
nothing, butin old age these visions all van
ism, our children are gone from US and we
only live for comfort to each other, and,
after being purified in the crucible of affiic-
tion, our affections are purer and more per-
manent than they were in youth. We have
shared each others griefs and joys together
down to old age. ~ -
Far out upon life's foaming sea,
Borne by the ruthless tide,
Mid storms and calms and hopes and fears
Onward we swiftly glide"
If have any wish for the future il is that
my two children that are spared me may out
live us and follow US to our Guiet resting
place where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest. And now, my
dear Clara, l have done promising and form
ing new resolutions. They only deceive me.
My souls desire is to live 50 that can lay up
my treasures in Heaven so that when my
days are accomplished / may go down to |
the grave like shock ofcorn ripe in its sea-
son and meet those that have gone before us
and those that shall come after us, and remain |
an unbroken family in the Kingdom of |
Heaven. With a mothers love,
YOUR MOTHER.

Justice Oourt.-Thecase D. L. JUNE, VS..
DIR. Corey came of before Justice Tyler on
Friday last. The suit was brought by Mr..
June for a debt of 1886. DR.. Corey brought,
as an offset, an account of $1O3, 90 for medi-
cal services in June's family. June testified
that DR.. Corey undertook the case with the
understanding that he was to effect cure or
charge nothing for his services. Mrs. Ire
land testified that DR.. Corey acknowledged
such contract to her, The existence of any
such arrangement was denied by DR.. Corey,
but he failed to produce any witnesses on
this point. Considerable testimony was
given on other points which had no direct
bearing on the case, the existence of the al
legged contract being the real point at issue.
The decision was deferred until Saturday
when judgement was rendered for the plain
tiff in the sum of $l3,46, some charges in
DR.. oorey's account being allowed by the
plaintiff.
