nesday last, to learn Of the drowning
of Mr.. Joho Fiege, one of our old
est citizens.
The accident occurred at the Mill
Of Mr.. Keller, short distance below
the city.
One Of Mr.. Fiege's sons and some
other boys had been fishing with a
net in the Aume Of the mill, aud had
los. the net. Mr.. Fiege was assist.
ing them to recover it. He
was standing on rack that wa5
across the fumo to keep sticks and
filth from the wheel, with his back
towards the mill. He made mis-.
step aud fell over backwards into the
water, which being very swift, car.
ried him into the wheel, which was
Turbine. The force Of the wa
ter was so great that he was partially
drawn into the wheel and IL was
stopped One Of his arms was badly
injured and several severe bruises
we're made upon his bodg and one up
on the back part of his head. 1t is
supposed that his head struck upon
some hard, substance when he foil,
which so stunned him that he was
unable to help himself. His son also
fell in the water at tho same time,
but was rescued by the help OF
other boys who were present.
The funeral of Mr. Fiege was hold
at the Second German Rcformc d
Church, and was largely attended,
The services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Good, in English, aud Rev, Prof
Rust, in German.
Mr.. Fiegc was an old and excel
lent citizen, and his untimely death
is much dcplored.
We fnd the following advertise
ment in the N. Y. Tribune, under
head Of "To all whom it may con,
cern:"
EEELlNG seas, n Outlines, re1ucs.

We might, perhaps, feel dispose d
to pray for Frank it he had been a
little more explicit and stated OF
what he had been guilty; but as it is
we don't feel like going it blind.
Besides, the idea Of Advertising foi
prayers is very ridiculous, and car
not lead to anything good.
CoRN CovERER.-A correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Gaz.te, gives a
description Of an improvement for
covering corn which he claims to bt
excellent and cheap. He takes two
small shovels, similar to those of a
shovel plow, and places them just far
enough apart to run astrido the row
to be covered. The plow in covering
is allowed to run along without being
raised except to overcome distractions
The coveror must be made light. AT
ter the ground is furrnwed accurately
both ways cover by following the row
6rsN marked. One covercr can follow
and keep up with two droppcrs. BY
dropping and covering in this manner
the writer claims that the work can
bc done more satisfac torily and cheap
er than by any other method; and
that the young corn is noitherin hol-
lows OF hillocks, and thinks the latter
is point that farmers can appreciate

At the Joy House, Carey, they
have a pair of lively landlords, each
of whom'is paired to an equally live

TIE boarders of that house who
can appreciate a joke equally as we'll

with muslin lined buckwheat cakes
