On Tuesday evening young mar
named John Conway in attempting to &c
off the Cincinnati and Circleyilc Accom-
mediation train, Ms II was leaving Clinton
Station, nrAr Wilmington, slipped ant
fell under the car, and the wheels passed
over his leg, manging it below and aboyc
the knco, in horrible manner; the man =
home was near Clinton Station, but in
stead of leaving him there, he was put Oh
the train and brought to this place and
taken to the Kirk House, Amputatior
was necessary, and the operation was per
formed by Drs. Coffman, Saxton, Colds
berry and Wilson, of this place, -
The leg was taken off just below the hip
joint, but the leg is broken in the joint
and it is very doubtful whether be can
recover or not. His sister, living in Gin,
cinnati, was telegraphed for, and arrived
yesterday. Conway is young man and
has no family,
- A man named T. Mccormick, living
| ~ miles South west of town, on the
Leesburg road, met with an accident en-
Monday Of last week, which resulted in
his death on the following Wednesday, af-
ter intense suffering. The particulars Of
the sad accident are, as we have learned
them, as follows: He, in company with
another man, was engaged in taking stone
out of quarry in the neighborhood, and
while raising large stone, it fell in some
way over against Mccormick, forcing one
end of crow bar, with which he was
working, into his bowels, His funeral'
on Sunday last, was attended by the Odd
Fellow fraternity of this place, of which
he was a member.
A carriage driving through Court
street, on Monday evening, ran over q
small boy who was playing in the street,
fortunately without severely iniuring him.
The wonder is that some of these boys
don't get their necks broken every even
ing, MS the street is full of them, and it is
difficult to drive along at moderate gait
without running over some of them.

- P. Burke, manufacturer of tomb
stones and monuments, in this place,
turns out some fine work, at as low fig
ures as any establishment in the country.
We would advise all persons in want of
any work of the kind to call and look at
specimens, at his shop on Fayette street
There is no need of our citizens patroniz-
ing foreign establishments of any kind,
when their wants can be as well supplied
at home.
- Some people seem to have no idea of
what street crossings are for, Almost
any time we look out on the street we can
see teams standing acress them, while
persons wanting to cross the street must
walk rouu them. We believe there is an
ordinance making it unlawful to leave
teams standing in such positions. If thered
is not there ought to be, and if there is, it
ought to be enforced.
- An effort is being made to procure
the pardon of VIM. LeVeck, convicted of
man-slaughter in the murder Of young
Patten, at the June term of Fayette Com
mon Pleas Court, 1868, and sentenced to
five years imprisonment in the Ohio peni
tentiary.
