SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Weha have been inform
ed that an accident of very serious nature
occurred at the residence of Mr.. William
Silver, near Glenville, in this county, one
day last week. 1t appears that some small
children were playing in the yard near
where cart body had been propped on end,
and while running around and perhaps on it
or against it, it fell, catching three of them
under it and seriously injuring them. o'
Medical aid was at once called, and all
that could be done for them was promp tly
done. We could not learn the extent of the
injury.

The ToURNAMENT.-The arrangements
for the tournament are all completed, as We
learn, and the Goth bids fair to be Il great day
in Bel Air. The knights, OF whom there are
about twenty, have had several meetings fol
rehearsal, and much proficiency has been ar.
rived at by many in taking the ring. We
regret not being able to give list of the
gentlemen who will take part in the riding
with their titles, but will probably be able to
do so in our next ISSUE This tournament is
to be the first one of the kind ever held in
our midst, and everywhere we hear much
interest expressed in its success. To the
managers of the enterprise great credit is
due, for the energy displayed in getting it up
upona scale that forbids failure.

PERIODICALS,

DEMoREsT's MoNTHLY.-The enterprising
publisher this popular Magazine is first in
the field in announcing, among the induce
ments to subscribers for the coming year
the finest premium ever yet offered for a sim
gle subscription to any magazine in this OF
any other country. 1t consist ola copy, re-
tailed at ten dollars, of Mrs. Lilly M. Spen-
GERS great picture of "Pic-Nic on the
Fourth of july" the engraving of which
artists were sent for, specially from Europe,
to complete.
Demoresfs Monthy is in itself by far the
most complete and attractive Magazine for
ladies published in this country, and requires
little extra inducement to persuade them to
become subscribers. 1t is really q saving of
money, however, to pay three dollars, and
get in addition so valuable q premium-and
Mr.. Dcmorest will undoubtedly find his list
doubled on the strength Off Published at
1888 Broadway, N. Y.
ay" An account of the terrible accident
on Bush river, by which three ofour citizens,
Messrs. James M. Sewell, Septimus D. Sewell
and Harry Lee lost their lives, will be found
in the letter of our correspondent from Alb
ingdon. This sad affair has fallen with crush
ing weight upon the community in which
these gentlemen resided. The Messrs. Sewell
were natives of the county, and had resided
in our midst for many years. Their father
was Col. Charles S. Sewell, who twice rep
resented this district in the Congress
of the United States, and was widely
known for his social and hospitable quail
ties, as well as distinguished for the leading
part he took in the politics of the county and
State Mr.. Lee was also widely known, as
the son of Josiah Lee, who founded the
banking house of Josiah Lee & Co., in the
city of Baltimore, and was ever spoken ofby
his friends and acquaintance as q gentle
man ofmodest merit and true worth. The
sympathies of the entire community are
deeply awakened in behalf of the bereayed
families of the deceased.
