A New style of Head. .Gea,lr.

: The Ne,o York Sun states that an effort
is being made by certain ladies of fashion
in that city to bring forward new style
sot dressing and wearing the hair, the re-
suit of which will be to discard and throw
overheard the ridiculous and, perhaps, of
ten filthy humps withswhich the heads of
our wives and daughters are now disfg-
.ured. .Ia-. ~ Ei niaIE ntlH 5Ngss
They are proceeding on the principle
that beauty unadorned is adorned the most,
and hence all chignons, rats, waterfalls,
hair-pins. bands, and other excrescenees
with which it is customary to lumber up
the head and rot the hair, are to
be discarded The hair. in short, is to
be worn just as nature made, it hang
ing loosely over the shoulders or flowing
down gracefully behind. This mode, OF
course, will be stoutly resisted by such OF
the dear creatures as nature has not given
a bountiful supply of head covering, but,
nevertheless, it is believed the experiment
will be a success when once it has a fair
trial. The chignon makers and the pc
rukers are turning up their noses at the
very suggestion, but the euisinterestednesso OF
their motives is perfectly understood. The
failing seems TO be that, as our mothers
wives. sisters and daughters are absolutely
compelled, just now, to wear other peoples
hair aor be out of the fashion, it is about
time that some of the sex. had sufficient
moral courage to show how their, own hail
can be worn, and how, therefore, the femi-
nine caput can be made tolook, not the hid
eous humpy-dumpy it is now, but ''thing
of beauty, u If not ttjoy forever.o ..o1.A

A, Horrible Accident-Asri, sri BOY
sd Dragged by q Mule until He
b is Killed A Strange C0inci.
I7o deiice.s .ha-a t-s'i la l1sg z1sys eos5r5e
We are pained to record the particulars
Of an accident that has caused shudder of
horror to run throughout the entire COM
munity, and one that has called forth the
'liveliest sympathy for the bereaved friends.
On last Sunday evening, Charlie B. AL
mond,s a noble, intelligent boy, about IL
years old, son of Mr. b. Almond, of this
city, in company with Mr.Draper Short,
was leading mule to water.l Charlie was
leading the gentler of the two mules with
a lariat some twenty feet long, the coil of
the rope being held IN his hand. For some
cause the mule became frightened by. Mr..
Fred. Krouse's buggy, which. was passing
at the time, and started to run. In bis
effort To- bold the mule, the rope became
entangled about the poor boys arm
afid he was drag gged, to the ground, which
frightened the mule still more, and it ran
at furious rate over the rocky street lead
ing from G. w Belts residence to DIR. Bald
wins, dragging the helpless and insensi-
bic youth after it. Despite every eXertion
of Mr.. Short and others who witnessed the
horrible affair, no assistance could be rem
dered. The mule finally stopped, and the
little boy, was picked up in a most terrible
I plight. His clothes were almost stripped
| from his body, and his head was frightfully
lacerated. The lariat was SO tightly drawn
about his wrist that 1t was with some diff
Guilty it could be unloosed.
The insensible boy was Immediately CON
veyed to his mothers residence, and Drs.
johnson and Baldwin summoned. All ef-
| forts to resuscitate the mangled, dying
boy, were unavailing. The concussion was
too great, and bright little Charlie breathed
his last within two hours from the time the
melancholy accident occurred. Seldom
fFas an event cast such general gloom and
awakened so much commiseration and
regret. ez1El .arst 700 ,is' +s1'
The body was buried on Monday after
noon by the Good Templars,, of which
Order Charlie was member. The students
of the Academy and large concourse OF
citizens followed the remains to their last
resting place. O., an .fs.y1 ar-H.s o. -.s.~ y
| :. A singular coincidence is connected with
| this accident, which is remarkable. Just
about two years ago, almost to a day, a lit
tie. son of Mr.. Noah Beery, the adjoining
neighbor of Mrs. Almond,s was thrown
i from horse at the identical spot, where
the accident above recorded occurred, and
was dragged in the same manner, and died
soon after. As In the above instance his
horse was frightened by Mr.. Krouse's horse,
as he was passing, The body was picked
Il up in the same place and DIR. Baldwin when
summoned, was, in both instances, in his
stable feeding his horses. Both accidents
occurred at the same hour and on the same
day of the week. The coincidence is sim
