Accident.-On tire 1st day of June
James Dyer, at work in the saw mill of
Wetzel and Kitchen, nine miles east of
Upper Sandusky, was caught by his
left foot between the band and shaft of
some part of the mill and thrown round
the shaft some six Or eight times com
pletely crushing the bones below the
knee and fracturing the thigh in its
upper third. The integuments below
the knee were so much torn or lacer-
ated that it was found impossible to
save the leg.
Doctor Ferris amputated the leg at
the knee joint and thinks that he may
recover.
The fracture of the bone high up i'll
the thigh and above the amputation,
and the severe bruises that he received
in his revolutions round the shaft, rem
der his recovery more uncertain and
LIE is in yry critical situation. A
man at work in the mill yard heard his
cries for help and ran in and instantly
stopped the mill, OF he must inevitably
have been killed oa the spot.
He is now at the residence of J. B.
Wetzel where he is kindly cared for.
Mr.. Dyer is from New York State, is
an industrious young man and W ithout
family.

DEAR ED1ToR: We have had very
fine weather here for the past ten
days. fire shower passed around
US to the north yesterday, but we did
not get more than enough to lay the
dust.
There has been number of casu-
alitles of serious nature since our
last. On or about the 10Th of last
month a house, belonging to Mr.. j.
Palmer, few miles south of town,
was destroyed by fire, together with
a part of the furniture. On last
Thursday morning our usually quiet
town was startled by the news that
the fast, and through express, from
New York to Chicago, known as No.
1, had killed a man a short distance
east of town. The engineer blew an
alarm, whistled down the brakes and
stopped the train as quickly as pos
siSle, but alas too late the relent-
less engine had dealt a death blow
to an old resident of our township,
Mr.. Wine Rood. He was entirely
deaf and SO coaltf not hear the train.
He had been demonstrated with for
going on the track before But he
said ''he could feel the train com
ing" He was an aged man and had
been deaf since boyFtood, was we'll
educated and loved to- be with those
who were fond of the same topics
with himself. A Coroner's Jury
was impanneled and after a careful
examination rendered n verdict ot

MIR. EDITOR sycamore is yet revol-
wing on its axes and we find every
thing moving lively. The verdant
lawn, the variegated forests, the song
of innumerable birds and the busy hum
of bees, gives us evidence that nature
is still at work preparing everything
for the harvest.
How beautiful and pleasant to look
around and view the different appear
ances of nature that are brought within
our view, especially in this part of the
county. Our farms present a good ap-
pearance which indicates that the
owners are. Industrious and prosperous
Mercantile business has been quite
brisk during the past week. And, as
the farmers will now have more lei
sure, we anticipate better trade.
AS you have no correspondent at
Bellevernon, can say that the people
of that village are full of activity and
enterprise. They have just commenced
building another Church, which leads
US to infer that Bellevernon must be
built on religious foundation. We
also notice that a saw mill is about to
be built, part of the machinery being
already on the ground.
Our school is still progressing salts
factorily, the scholars making rapid ad-
vancement. .'t

Accidental death by being struck
J y the engine" 2" They attached no
b ame to any employee on the train.
They did all they could, stopping the
train there and at the depot. The
accident seems to be wholly the eff
feet of his deafness. Many of our
citizens vent to where he was killed
and after he was conveyed to the
station many more went to see him.
The right side of his head and face,
from his mouth upward, were
smashed in hy striking the sharp
corner Of a tie. His back and ribs
were broken in and his legs both
cut off just above the ankles. His
face was so smashed as scarcely to
be recognized, yet after. being dresse d
by DR.. Turney he looked quite nat
ural. 1t was a sad and painful spec
tacle and must have fallen heavily
upon his wife md family.
We notice that a Bucyrus paper
states that the Coroner's Jury rem
dered verdict Of suicide. l am au
thorized, by a prominent member Of
that Jury and others, to say that
such was not the case, that they
found no such evidence but rendered
a verdict as stated above
From his temperament, his do
mestic relations were not always as
smooth as might have been, but he
was far from having any suicidal
disposition. The scene of that morn
ing will not soon be forgotten by
our citizens

NEW R. r. PROJECT.

We lay the following letter before
Our readers and hope those interested
will take hold of the matter.
STURG1s, MICH, May &c, 1870.
P. NJ, U. Sandusky,
DEAR SIR: Some
time since we projected road south
east from Sturgis towards the Pennsyl-
vania c. r. r. thinking that we would
probably go to Flndly and to your
place. We organized Company to
the Indiana State line and one to the
Ohio State line and then with a Com
mittee from Bryan, started out to visit
places in Ohio. We visited Napoleon,
Fostoria, Tiffin, Shelby and Mansfield,
and when We got there the Mansfield
people said that their place was the
only point where railroad should ter
inmate. They approved of our action
and line and wished us to join them, 50
that we did not prospect any further.
But they have gone over to another
line, and we are again booking towards
our original point at your place OF
Crestline or some other near there. I
write you to know what your people
would do in aid Of sucha project. 1t is
not entirely new to them, | suppose,
we are pushing our survey, and shall
soon have the line to Bryan, and have
a handsome subscription along the
line. Should be glad to have you
make some inquiry about this and
write me at your earliest convenience
and oblige yours,

This is the motto of the First Premium
Gallery, opposite the Pierson House
1t is strange how some men hate to
have the truth made known. The few
simple facts we published two weeks
ago, must have hit the proprietor ol
the Old Reliable in tender spot, as to
call out such lengthy article. The
shoe must have been a good fit, or lie
would not have so readily put it on.
Those wishing a practical test, be-
tween our one simple camera, and the
grand array possessed by the ''Old Re
liable" some of which are the "best in
the World" can do so in the following
manner: Try the Old Reliable, then
come directly to our gallery, when We
will, with pleasure, make a sitting
gratis, and if you are not thoroughly y
convinced as to the superiority of our
pictures, whether it is owing to instru-
ments or artistic skill, we will make

is. But remember, no ten cent pic
