LEG BRoKEN.-On Wednesday evening,
26th ult, little JIMMIE, the 5 year old son
of Hon. J. K w pods of Adams Tp., had
his leg brok en- by falling from the top of
high fence, dragging the top rail with
him. Mr.. W. heard his cry, fastened TO
his assistance, and found a heavy green
rail across his breast Jimmie says he
fell on hog, and thinks the rail struck
the hog, thus breaking its force ere it
struck him, and probably saving his life.
The leg must have broken in striking the
ground. DR.. W. l.. McAllister of New

and the little sufferer is doing very well

A STRANGE LUMOR.-A strange rum0r is
in active circulation Icre, and one, indeed,
which Ill many respects bears the SEMI
blance OF truth. 1t appears that upon the
recent successful escape OF several n0to-
rious couvicts from sing Sing prison a con-
spiracy was entered into among them to
revenge the punishment they bad endured
on the person Of the uniliuching and popu-
lar Judge Bedford, OF New York, who had
SO justly and fcarlcssly sentenced them.
Although nothing is positively known to
The police authorities, it is nevertheless
currently reported that three or four of the
daring scounlrels are now lurking about
the city of Newport, awaiting the opportu-
nifty to maltreat and perhaps assassinate The
uncompromising and esteemed gentleman.
1t is well known that Judge Bedford is
at present the distinguished guest of
Rear Admiral Osgood, on board the Colum-
bia, and it is not at all improbable that the
ticnds have, actuated by diabolicai motives,
come TO Newport to carry out their Villain
Gus plans. These rlimors have been con-
ycycd 10 Judge BedIo.d, who, with char:c-
teristic courage, treated them with cool III
difference, and has not even once intlmated
to the aut hol tiles any desire TO be protected,
fully confident that his own moral force is
quite sufficient to ward off all danger from
the yilest cut-throat abroad. Tue Judge
passes quite a pleasant time on board ilie
Columbia. and seldom pays any visits
ashore. Doubtless the cowardly raSctlS
will be captured in few days, if indeed
they have the hardihood to appear in this
fashionable quarter.-Negport correspond

piece of sheet iron up to keep the water
from dripping on the men at work. After
it had thus served TO keep off the water for
some three weeks, he took it down, and
found, to his astonishment, that it was COW

been in the water In solution, aud became
prccipitated by being brought in contact
