The Rayenna Democrat says that
Horace Greeley was q guest at the Gillette
House one stormy night week before last,
having been detained and thrown out Of
Railroad connections by snow-blockades.
Whether his advent into Ravenna will
constitute q chapter In his dyer "Rec-
elections of a Busy Life" remains to be
seen.
in speaking of the lectures of Dr..
Willis, the Register says they were the
best attended of any lectures of the course,
the ball being crowded on both evenings.
Those lectures conclude the course. The
committee have furnished the citizens of
youngstown an excellent course of lee

they certainly deserve thanks.
On Tuesday morning of last week, as
we learn from the Garfield Herald, while
Mr.. Reuben Alexander was engaged st
work in the Flax and Tow Mills owned
By Messrs. Case & Patterson, his hand
came in contact with some of the machin-
cry; and before il could be withdrawn was
badly mangled. The fingers of his left
hand were torn of near the first joint, so
as to render amputation necessary as far as
the second JOINT. The bones of the hand
we're also badly crushed.

The Cleveland Herald says that. in bor-
ing the lake bottom to ascertain the FEAST
bility of putting down a tunnel for bring
ing pure water to the wster-works, the
rock was reached at rs feet depth, and then
gas came rushing from the bore in great
force. When lighted, it burned with q
clear and beautiful fame, three or four
feet in height and the flow refuses to be
by ordinary restraints. The tun-
mel seems impracticsble, on account of the
presence of the gas, and because there is
sufficient depth of clay above the
rock.
