brakes call for the Congressional
Convention TO be held at Oskaloosa
on the sth proximo, the day after

time inopportune, and the place not
so good as ours, in view our of Rail-

ton the fact that we never had the
Congressional Convention here
But then we bow in cheerfaf sub
mission to the will of the committee
in the matter and do so with the

AN UNLucKY DAY.--We CLEAN from
the Loyal Citi-ea that within radius
Of twenty miles of Centerville on
last Tuesday, three persons came to
violent deaths, and several others
were more or less injured.
The first case was Isaac Howell,
whose team ran away near Moravia,
the wagon heavily laden with lum-
Der, passing over his head, crushing
his skull like an egg shell, and other
wise horribly mutilating him, caus-
ing instant death.
The next was q young man, son
of Mr. James Smith, of Dennis, who
was killed on the same day by an acct
dental discharge of his gun. He
started from the house and when
about hundred yards away, in step
ping across ditch, his gun was ac-
cidentally discharged and the con-
tents passed through his head. He
fell dead on the spot.
We are also informed that q man
vas killed by runaway team on the
road to Corydon. We,are unable to
get any of the particulars,
Thomas Bowen, living near the
north line of that county, while dig
ging q we'll, had tub with its con
tents TO fall on him, fracturing his
skull and breaking his shoulder blade,
and putting his life, in jeopardy
Mr. Howell and his son, were also
thrown from a wagon of runaway
team, the boy being ran over and the
father also seriously injured. These
casualties, besides several other
harmless runaways the same day in
Centervillc, closes the chapter of ac-
cidents for an unlucky Tuesday, in
our lively neighboring county.
