turkeys, as Christmas presents. Like the
boy fishing, if ,oe had got the one we antici-
pated, and three more, we would have been
even with eek, fact that shows that our
patrons are nearly as liberal as those of our
Bollefonts cotemporsry.

Jerry Dudy, an Irishman who was working
on Lesvy log job, N Huston tp., had his
log broken. above he knee, by descending
log, whilst he was engaged in repairing the
slide. The unfortunate man was broug ht

FATAL ACCIDENT. On Friday, Decem-
Der 2Tth, 1866, John l.. Gearhart, son of
John Gearhart, Of Decatur township, this
county, met with fatal accident Young
Gesrhart and Mr. Mease were in the woods
cutting down tree, which lodged in falling,
aud whilst Gearhart was trying to dislodge
the same, it swung round, knocked him
down and fell across his body, crushing him
~ death instantly.
SERIOUS FRosTING.-On Friday, Dec
aeti, 1866, young man named Andrew
Snyder, whilst engaged at cutting timber
road, near Grahamton, in this county, had
bis feet so badly frozen that, it is thought,
smputation of both will become necessary
For young man who had served three
years in the army, and escaped without Sc
rlous injury, it seems like hard fate to be
Eow thus manned for life.
lCE.-The hard-freeziDg weather which
We have been experiencing here for several
weeks, has frozen over the River and small
er streams, and for some days brisk bust
ness has been done in the way of filing the
lee-houses in our borough. The quality of
the ice is most excellent-indeed, we think
We can't be beat, either in quantity or
quality, by any section of country that does
not lie in much closer proximity to the North
Pole than ours.
