J. M. Dixon, the blind editoa, met
with an accident a few days since,
which came near being fatal. He,
with his wife and another couple,
were crossing Deer Creek, and
stopped to let the horses drink, when
the horses turned quickly about, up
setting the wagon and throwing the
whole party into the water, the wa
gon bex falling on Mr.. D. and hold
ing him under water for some time.
He was finally extracted. He says
for a blind man runaways are not de.
sirable, and involuntary emersions nc
better.

The public school is we'll filed, being
under tho instruction of Miss Lamo-
reaux, and when we shall have become
better acquainted with its inner work
you shall hear more about it.
We are happy to see that you are
earnest in pleading the temperance
cause in your columns. and by the side
Of your pleas we rejoice to record
that liquor saloon and billiard room
recently opened has just been volunta-
rily closed, the proprietor saying that
1.-THE people are too temperate here to
make it pay" Rejoice with US that
this is substantially true, and may q
host Of other places have occasion ere
long to make a similar blessed record.
Let your temperance pleas and labors

shall so permeate the whole country
that one saloon after another shall yield
to the pressure and close its painful
doors against their deludcd votaries.
