months and five days old, ofthe Ches-
ter White breed, that dressed 14SOibs

Theron 5th inst. while Mr. Ho-
falling was priming his gun it went
off and shot his own mother in the
heart and killed her instantly; she

inst......... We learn from a reliable
source that Thomas Keyes, Esq, OF
Crestline, while in an intoxicated
condition and standing on the track
had his foot run over by a locomotive
and crushed to pieces, rendering am
pution necessary. This occurred on
last Wednesday evening.........Some
wickedly disposed person without the
fear of justice before his eyes on the
evening of the 18th of January, and
went to the barn of Adam Seib, Esq,
of Vernon Tp., cut his new buffalo
wagon all to pieces. The spokes and
felloes were all ruined, and the wag-
on is valueless.
A man, who for the present shall
be nameless, as a Grand Jury will
probably investigate the matter, was
caught few days since driving some
sheep away after night that belonged
to James GIoyd, Esq. of Vernon Tp.

Saver, of Salem township, was driv-
lug up Sandusky Avenue, with a span
of black horses attached to II wagon
when at the Railroad crossing the
horses became frightened at a coming
train, and started upon fullTun. Un-
Manageable as the animals were, and
breaking the axle by coming in con-
tact with post, Mr.. Sawyer hung to
the reins until at the intersection Of
Johnson street, they came to a full
stop by running against the building
occupied by Gotlieb Rappold as a
Crockery Store, burying the wagon
tongue up to the running gearing in
the ground,and throwing Mr.. Sawyer
with his head under the elevated
plank walk. The wagon was badly
damaged, and it Is wonderful how
Mr.. Sawyer escaped being fatally in
jured There has been for two
weeks past a religious meeting in pro-
gress at the church in Salem Tp., near
