Letter from Georgetown-Accident-
Business and Matrimonial Items.

EDITOR HERALD Permit me ia
give you a few jottings from this
part Of our county
Rev. James Hightshoe recently
met with serious accident in this
wise: In descending from an apple
tree, from which he bad been cutting
scions, his elbow struck a limb,
thrusting the still open knife into
the right side of the upper lip and
driving it diagonally upward under
the nose to the cheek bone on the
opposite side. Under the efficient
care of DIR. III. w. Smith the patient
is rapidly recovering.
Geo. f. Nixon, who formerly run
the Smolser Hotel, has sold the prop.
erty to VIM, G. Woods, an old resi-
dent Of this town, who intends to
change the programme of business
slightly and accommodate We young
men and old who wish to ride in car
riages or buggies for pleasure or
business. In the meantime Bacchus

midst, but whether in one of the
aforesaid carriages or not, your cor
respondent cannot aver.
/ am informed that q youthful"
wedding recently took place at Big
Patch, the happy bride having pass
cd her sixty third and the groom his
SEVENTEEN year. Surely they cannot
agree with Burns that "man was
made TO mourn" 1t is to be hoped
that large amount of happiness is
in store for the fortunate pair.
Messrs. Fortune, Shipley and two
brothers Todd have recently struck
good digging on the Gen. Dennison
lands at Big Patch. As they are all
worthy young men, every one &C
quainted with them says 'good," or
feels good if he does not say it. OF
mining and new enterprise pertain
ing thereto, more anon.
