BARN BURNED.-A' barn and its
belonging to j. A, Treat
about two miles north of Tallmadge,
was burned at noon on Saturday week.
The fire originated through the inno-
cent ignorance of a little child, who
took it into his head that he could set
fire to straw stack and extinguish it
at pleasure.
The Seneca 4duertiser says: We
learn that little son, aged about 3
years, of Mr.. James Bryne, residing
in the east end of Eden township.
while out in the barn yard with his
mother, on Monday. attempted to
drive some cattle, and in doing so he
received o kick on the head from an
OK, which broke his neck, from which
he died in about ten minutes there
after. fffea 5f -4izt - tg"a ,5-.4
A LITTLE boy, about two years old
son of Mr.. Jeremiah Booth of Achor,
Columbiana county, was so severely
scalded on Monday afternoon, the l1th
inst, that it died the following day.
A quantity of boiling water was
thrown out of a window, beneath
which the child was playing, and fall
ing upon him scalded his head, face,
breast and back, SO as to result as
above stated.
WE mentioned last week that Mr..
A. J. Troxel had made an oil strike in
Mecca. We have learned from him
since then that his well, which is lor
Gated near Powers Corners, had up
to Saturday last been running seven
days, and yielded about forty barrels
during that time. On Saturday the
yield dropped down to two barrels a
day. He sells the oil readily at the
we'll for $25 per barrel. At this rate
barrel day is pretty good thing.
His we'll produced about 81 600 woath
of oil in seven days.-Warren Chro1a-
icle.
