During one of the heavy thunder show
Graf few nights since, Mr.. Chester Hyde
rho resides at the Center was aroused by
repeated raps at his door, and an earnest
request to be let in. Starting up quickly
he mistook the door and went headlong to
the cellar bottom. No bones were brok-
en-, yet so great was the shock he received
that full recovery is yet doubtful.
P. Hyde, Esq, of this village, while
walking upon the scafolding in his barn

A party of our gay and festive young
folks of both sexes, married and single, to
the number of about 40 held a camp meet
ing all their own way on Thursday night
last, in piece of timber land of exquisite
loveliness just out of the village. A pair
Of tents were erected and fitted up as our
folks can do it, and about shutdown the par
ties began to gather in as if by intuition,
which was kept up at intervals till near
midnight. The night was lovely and the
entertainment ample, and consisted of an
almost endless variety too numerous to
mention. All seemed to enjoy this slight
depression from the usual routine of life's
duties.
Sickness prevails to an alarming extent
in the different localities in town, especial

company of those they love.
