Dear Freenadn-Since-m my last, accident,
and incidents have been, like angels visits,
few and far between in this latitude, and vel
we hear no one complaining of a lack of va,
riety on that account.
In the meantime the brick-work of the
tower of st. Benedict's has been finished by
the contractor Mr.. Matt &fdlesberger to
the satisfaction of all interested and to The
credit of the gentleman named 1t is, in
deed, a good job and vindicates the conf
dence we ever had in Mr.. Addlesberger as a
nrst class mechanic and reliable contractor
me splre builder is no~ putting the timber
IN place, and ere many days Carrolltown can
boast of one of the ffetfiest towers and spires
In Western Pennsylvania When finished
L shall have more to say about it,
notwithstanding the frequent and drench-
ing rains during harvest the majority of our
FARMERS have secured their crops in good
condition. e0u
In a portion of your edition last week as
you assured your readers Won noticed the
running off of the team and consouent dam
age TO the hne hack of our mail line. 1t is
but fair TO say that no blame attaches to any
one in connection with the accident The
lead horse succeeded in working the bridle
from his head just as the hack was nearing
the convent, and this enabled him to see the
happing of one of the curtains of the hack
which, in connection with the fact that the
men at work on the new tower made some
noise which attracted, or rather distracted
the horse. caused him to frighten and start
TO rum OF conrse the driver was powerless
to hold him, but manfully clung to the line
attached to the other horse until it broke =
lady with an infant ON her lap was thrown
from the hack, as was also the child. The
latter escaped unhurt, but the lady had her
coriai-bone fractured. She is improving
rapidly. The hack has been reconstructed
and made more convenient than ever E.

!. Dear F'reemGn-GeOrge Hull and Joseph
Woleslagle fell from scaffolding at z. NJ.
mill, in Wilmore, on last Fri
day, in consequence of which both were Sc
verely injured, the latter having his left
arm broken at the wrist. The cause of the
accident was the giving way of the scaffold-
ing, which they had erected for the purpose
of repairing the building The distance thev
fell was twenty feet, and it was providen-
tlal that they escaped as safely as they did
We attended the funeral of Father Brown
of Johnstown, on Saturday last: A special
train conveyed the remains to Cresson
whence they were taken to the Catholic
cemetery at the Summit and inferred by the
side of Father Mccullough an old school
mate and friend of deceased. The funeral
was very large one, indeed one of the lar
geSt ever wi messed. On the return seven
passengers cars We're found Inadequate to
accommodate the multitude and two freight
cars were attached, and then the platforms
were crowded to their utmost capacity
Bishop Domenec and several clergy attend
ed the funeral. The writer hereof was a
warm personal friend of Father Brown from
the time we first met until the grave closed
over the form of one of the most eloquent
talented, gentlemanly, and warm hearted
priests we have ever met. May his soul rest
in eternal peace!
yC ung man by the name of Barnes, a
brother off Mr. jeremiah Barnes, of Portage
Station, had one of his legs terribly man.
gled yesterday evening by slipping, under
the wheels of a car on which he attempted
TO jump while the train was in motion, that
the limb had to be amputated. We ex-
pect to have TO report like occurrences at
this point ere long, if some eight or ten boys
do not quit jumping on and off trains when
at full speed. The only wonder is that there
are not more accidents resulting from such
willful carelessneSs. SOLTERO
