prospect along what may be called the
great wheat-belt of the Northwest, in
Guiding the larger portions Of Central
and Southern Michigan, Northern Ohio.
Indiana, Northern Illinois, and Wis
consin, has never been better than it is
the present year. Not only do the trust
worthy accounts agree that the season,
backward as it seems. has been espe-
cially favorable to the fall wheat; but
they agree as well, that a far greater
breadth of ground has been sown than
for several years back. In the south,
too, where the crop is much further adj
vanced, there is unusual concurrence
of testimony to the excellent yield
while larger amount has been sown
than for ten years.
The Miami Union says: Two burglar
les were committed in Piqua last Sum
day night. The houses entered were
the Book Store of Mr.. w. O. Hosklns
and the Boot and Shoe store of Legg &
McClure-both in the most central part
of town. AS these burglarious gentry
make but little use of books, their pur-
pose in breaking into bookstore is
explained by the fact that part of the
room is occupied by jeweller who
usually keeps show case full of rather
tempting articles. AS the valua ables
had all been removed to a safer place,
the rascals got but little. The entire
loss in both establishments we are told
is not probably over one hundred dol
lars.
The Kenton Republican says Early on
Friday morning last the Ashery, near
the railroad bridge, was discovered to
be on fire. The alarm was given, and
number of citizens in the south part
Of town hurried to the scene, and after
vigorous efforts, succeeded in eXtin-
gushing the flames, but not until the
roof was about half burned off.
The Hancock Jefersonian says: A little
daughter of Jacob Powell, who lives in
North Find-ay, recently narrowly es-
capped death. She was leaning out of a
second story window of the house, and
loosing her balance, fell to the ground,
a distance of fifteen feet. In falling she
went head first and struck her head on
stone. Fortunately no other injury
was sustained than a slight cut OH the
forehead, and a severe fright.
We learn, says the Bucyrus Journal,
that man named Jacob Sheely, living
on the Brokefrsword, about seven miles
north of Bncyrus, met with fatal ac-
cident ON Tuesday last. He had taken
his rifle to the woods with him, where
he was splitting rails, and laid it on the
ground near by. Wishing to move it.
he caught it by the muzzle end and
drew it towards him, when the hammer
caught on bush, forcing it back, and
on falling back, exploded the cap, and
discharged the gun, the ball passing di-
rectly through his heart, killing him in
stantly. He leaves a wife and family.
1t also gives an account of lady who
was travelling, attempting to pass from
one car to another at Crestline on last
Wednesday. The cars had been un-
coupled, but all were in motion, and
not noticing the space between them,
she stepped off, and falling to the
ground, was run over by the cars, and
cut completely in two.
The Handbook Courier says: We learn
that on Tuesday last large mad dog
was killed near the residence of VIM.
Lytle, a short distance down the river.
The dog was a strong one, and before
being killed bit two other dogs, and
they were also killed. Will our Mayor
now issue his proclamation requiring
the muzzling of all dogs? Or will he
wait until two or three lives pay the
forfeit of his negligence. Welast week
asked for such proclamation, but it was
not forthcoming. 1t also says: Our cit
izens were startled, on last Saturday
evening, by the s2ul-sickening cry OF
'child lost:' Mothers gathered their
offspring to- their hearts and thanked
God that it was not their child that was
wandering alone. 1t SENS that Mr..
Messmore, who lives some distance
south Of here, came to town with his
boy about ten years old, when they be-
came separated. Mr.. M. commenced
search for him, and not finding him
gave the alarm, when thorough search
was instituted in town and country.
About eleven o'clock the child was
found twelve miles south of town,
The Ohio State Journal says: A man
by the name of Henry Burden living
west OF Scioto, has a very savage dog.
On Tuesday, he attacked little daugh-
ter of Mr.. Burden, aged about ten years
who was at home alone The arms of
the girl We're terribly torn and man
gled' and one leg was nearly torn from
/ the body. The cries of the child called
to her assistance a neighbor;ng lady,
who in turn was attacked by the dog.
The husband of the lady was near at
hand, who, by the vigorous use of a
heavy club, succeeded in driving off the
dog. The child is in a critical conlf-
tion. ! ct the owner of the dog refuses
to kill it, saying that money would not
induce him to do 50.
