A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-A CORES
pondence of the GAINESVILLE Courier
gives particulars Of horrible affair
on Munday Creek, Perry County; on
the 9th ult.. as follows: Mr.. Ruffier
was about to raise log house, and in
the morning killed sheep by cutting
off its head with an AK, on block
Two of his children watched the ope-
ration, and when their father and the
other hands were busily engaged in
the raising of the building, one of the
little boys, about seven years of age,
said to his younger brother, about five
years old, clay your head on the
block until 1 show you how father
killed the sheep" The little fellow
did so. The elder one drew the ak
and went through the motions, and
severed the head of his little brother
almost from the body. The mother
of the children hearing the noise went
to see what had happened. Finding
her child dying she gave a scream
which startled the hands on the build
ing, who were up very high, and in
the act of putting up a large log,
which they let fall, killing five men,
the father of the children and four
others.

The weather for the past few days
has been rainy and very disagreeable,
and our town does not present thai
thriving and busy appearance at pres.
ent, which was wont to characterize
it during those pleasant Autumn days
preceding the equinoctial storm.
The fall crops look very promising al
present; The corn crop has been
mostly cut up, and we hear it spoken
of as being unusually good.
A serious accident occurred at the
coal bank, one mile and half east OF
the center, on last Wednesday after
noon. Two men named respectively
Isaac Davis, md Thomas Hopkins,
who were employed as coal diggers
in the mine, were being raised from
the bottom of the mine in the coal car,
when the oar reaehed the top of the
shaft leading to the mine below, a
part of the machinery used to raise
the car gave away letting the car con-
tanning the men drop to the bottom
Of the mine, some ninety feet below,
The mon were taken out as soon as
the machinery could again be rugged,
and medical aid brought to their as.
sistance. Mr.. Davis was found to be
badly bruised, and very seriously in
jured, he lived until five O'Clock this,
Monday morning, when he expired.
He was an hanest hard working man,
and leaves wife and several small
children.
Mr.. Hopkins though badly bruised
is now doing well, and he is expected
to soon recover from his injuries.

GARRETTSVILLE.
CORRESPONDENCE.


The FAIRY esterday completed
the Eleventh Annual Fair of the High
land Union Agricultural Association,
held at the Fair Grounds in our vii
lage, which was in many respects a
decided success, showing that the peo
pie of this vicinity feel deep interest
in the agricultural shows, which have
ever tended to advance the interests of
all classes of an industrious commu-
nifty. The Fair commenced last
Wednesday and continued during the
two days following. The first day
was occupied in entering articles for
exhibition, which were quite numer-
Gus, and all departments were reason
ably well represented. On the morn
ing of the second day the grounds be-
gan to be filled very rapidly, until
about noon, when there was quite a
large collection of people in attend
ance, notwithstanding the threatening
appearance of rain which in the af-
ternoon fell quite vigorously, soon
changing the disagreeable dust to a
very uncomfortable mud. Yesterday
the attendance was quite small on ac-
count of the drilling rain which con-
tinued to fall during the greater part
of the day.
PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT - On
Thursday evening the Phllologian Lit
erary Society held public entertain
ment at which the very popular dra-
ma called "The Hidden Hand" was
presented to a large audience in very
able.manner. All parties performing
very excellently, showing much skill
in presenting the different scenes very
viyidly. Last evening the society
again appeared in public in the Buck
eye Hall with very impressive and
interesting play entitled, "The Dra
ma at Sea-" Again the Society was
greeted by quite large audience
which was well pleased with the en-
dance which passed off in very sat-
isfactory manner.
HE PARKAEAN HoAfcIDE.--Las week
we mentioned the murder of John
Bower, at Parkman, under very mys-
terious circumstances, SO much so
that it seemed impossible to suggest
any particular person as the perpetra-
tor. But within the last few days the
circumstances of the case haYe been
so far developed as to lead to the ar
rest of Milo White, and young man
by the name of Dayton, who accom-
panied Bower while hunting on the
day he was killed. Yesterday they
were brought before the Justice of the
Peace of Chardon, for investigation,
the result of which we have not
yet learned. NEPTUNE.

A SPLENDID ExH1BITIoN.-Among
the display of articles particularly in
teresting and attractive to the ladies
at the late Fair was case of splendid
bonnets, chignons, chil6ren's hats,
caps, embroidery and other articles,
from the Peoples Store of Mrs. Reed,
No. 4, Phenix Block. This collection
elected remarks of the highest praise
and admiration from all the ladies
who examined it, and they are GER
tainly the most competent judges in
all matters of this kind. Mrs. Reeds
long experience in the business en-
ables her to anticipate the wants and
suit the tastes of her numerous pat
rons.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.-On Thursday
morning last a man whose name we
did not learn, applied to Dr.. Beldipg
to have a ball extracted from his
shoulder which he received the night
before. The wound was a serious
one, but he refused to give any nc,
count of the manner i'll which it was
inflicted save that he said it was
caused by accident. A few hours af-
forwards man named Harmon, who
resides in the southwest part of the
village, across the track of the G. & 3.
r. R., said the wound was inflicted
by him, and claiming that the shoot
ing was accidental. He said that he
and the wounded man were negotia-
ting for trade of pistol for q watch /;
that he went into his house to obtain
his pistol, and coming out with it at
half cock, it was accidentally dis
charged, the ball striking the man in
the shoulder; that the man immedi-
ately left without giving any evidence
of being wounded and that he did
not learn the fact till that morning.
That story is considerable fishy, and
finds but few believers.
