As-w have provided ourselves with a

to dispose of it at sacrifice to any one
who intends going hunting earlier than

that hunting outfit without loss; but as
we are all to be frozen to death in one

FATAL ACCIDENT
Serious Injury of Henry MOyyder
and Death of His Son by the
Failing In Of a Coal Bank.

On the 18th inst, while Mr.. HENRY
MowDER, living some ave miles southeast
of this place, and his son DAVID, aged
about IL years, were at work stripping
coal, the bank above them, some seven
or eight feet in height suddenly caved
in. Neither Mr.. MowpER nor his son
had any warning of the falling earth, but
Mr. MowDEn had fortunately,at the mo-
mcnt, rose to an upright position and
sprang away, lbut was pressed against
the opposite bank with earth and stones
extending up nearly to his waist. His
son, being in a stopping position was
pressed down. A little daughter of Mr..
MowDER, who had brought them their
dinner, immediately set to work to re.
move the, earth from her brother, and
succeeded in uncovering his face. Mr..
MowpER, being Unable to extricate him
self, asked his son il lie was hurt and he
replied he was not. Mr.. MowDER re-
piled to his son in the same way. The
little gIrl then started for help, and had
three men there in very short time
not more than three minutes-when fa-
ther and son were both extricated. The
son then began suffering excruciatingly,
and in answer to questions said he suf-
fered from pains in his bowels. The
dreadful agonies rapidly increased and
he expired in some five minutes after be-
ing released. a
Mr. MowDER is suffering very consid-
erably, and it is feared he is injured in:
He is one of our Oldest and
most respected citizens, The family

undertake it without this aid.
From Marietta down the river the
people are voting for the read, and this
part we consider independent of the line
from Marietta North, since at Marietta
we will have good Pittsburgh and Nor

ded the required aid is obtained, but can

WOOdsfield and RarnesyiiIe Rail-
road.

Our people are determined to have
railroad communication from some
point. The route to Barnesviile meets
with favor from the citizens Of Center
and Malaga townships, and we have no
hesitation in saying that local aid
amounting to $4,000 per mile can be
raised for the road from Woodsfeld to
BarnesSiile.
Warren and Somerset townships,
Belmont county, can, and we believe
will, contribute the same amount per
mile This would grade the road, fur

Economy In Coal.

The most practical suggestion yet
made toward economy of coal seems to
be the use of solid bottoms in ordinary
fire CRATES. 1t is asserted, and indeed
proved, that in any fireplace not exces.
sively small, plate of iron placed upon
the crate will halve the consumption of
coal, reduce the smok land leave cheer
full, burning fire. Quite sufficient
air enters through the bars; no-poking is
necessary, and the fire never goes out till
the Goals are consumed. There is no ash
and no dust, every particle being con-
sumed. Any householder can try this
experiment, and reduce his coal bill, say
thirty per cent, at cost of shilling.

On the 10Th day of October, 1872, at the res
idence of her son-in-law, j. j. Hurd, in Adams
township, this county, ARA GILMORE, aged 70
years.
She was married the day afte she was
after they were married, and left her with FIVE
small children, and without any Of this worlds
goods. She labored hard and faithful to raise
her children respectable, and to kesp them to-
gether, which she succeeded in doing. She was
always surrounded by many kind friends, and
scarcely ever had an enemy She became
member Of the NJ. L. Church when a girl, and
faithful member of the same until
she was called to leave this world. She gave up
this life in full faith of enjoying life beyond
the grave, free from all trouble. Her suffering
was great until few hours before she died,
when she became easy. She called to her SON.
in-law and told him that she was dying, and
him to sing a favorite hymn, and
pray once more. After singing and prayer she
turned over and apparently went to sleep, in
which condition she lay a few minutes and the
spirit left the body without struggle or a
moan. On the next day large concourse of
people followed her remains to their last resting
place.
Mother, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the Summer breeze;
Pleasant as the air of evening,
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent sumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number;
Thou no more our songs shalt know.
Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tits God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed;
Thon in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

keeping meat for some time has great

the juice will remain in the meat, and not

#It is certainly agreeable news that
the perfume of flowers, instead of being
unhealthy in rooms, as many persons
imagine, is valuable disinfectant. We
have the statement that mint, clover,
lavender, and many other plants which
give out strong perfumes, develop a
large quantity of ozone, the amount of
the latter seeming to be in proportion
to the strength of the perfume. We are
not informed whether this property is
common to any of the plants whose
odors are disagreeable. Evidently fo-
