running order At our last meeting in

were short, and more particularly, the
busy season of the year Was approaching,
and farmers would not feel able to attend
Also that the Secretary report to the HER
AID this resolution and the general pros

cordially invited to co operate with us in

NARROW EsCAPE.-Albert P. Hall, of
West Chester, Pa, brother .in-law of Levi
Hambleton of this city, was, with his fam.
lily and some others at the mouth of one of
the Iowa Coal Company's mines on Il e
3lst ult., and while looking down the shaft
Mr.. Hall was struck on the head and
shoulder by descending car and thrown
over the brink, but by some means man
aged to grasp p ost and hold on, though
the Superintendent says the space between
the post and car in its descent is but six
inches. Mr. Hall had his shoulder bone
broken, and sustained .other injuries that
confined him to the house for some days
His escape was miraculous for had he
loosed his hold he would have fallen sixty
feet to the bottom OF the shaft.
