woodchuck sitting quietly on the root

of that vicinity? We can't tell how
many cartridges were exploded nor how
much abuse heaped on the innocent all

the charge that followed down the stove
pipe divided on the stove, going down
one Of the legs on either side. One part
entered a groove in the floor that extend
ed under tie lounge on which Mrs.
Hall sat, and tearing a wide aperture
passed into the ground down q door-post
Of the cellar. This current shocked
Mrs. Hall so that she fell partly over on
the lounge, but hearing her husband
fall she reused herself by an effort and
seeing him lying on the floor with his
clothes on fire, she procured pail OF
water, eXtmguished the flames and then
went to d neighbor'S for assistance.
Medical attendance was procured from
this place, but it was of no avail.

/ What came near being a fatal case of
poisoning by accident occurred last Fri
day evening in this place. 1t appears
that Mr.. Albert Goodsell had been a
little unwell for few days and lad been
taking mixture of rhubarII and soda.
which was prepared IL a teacup. Dur
ing this time daughter of Mr.. Good
sells. while picking berries, was stung
by wasp on the hand, which caused
the hand to swell badly. and very
strong wash Of sugar Of lead and opium
had been prepared for it. After using
the wash she accidentally set it in one
corner of the cupboard near the medi-
cine for her father. When Mr.. Good
sell was preparing TO retire for the night
he went to the cupboard, took the cup
containing the poison aud drank nearly
all its contents before stopping. He
very soon discovered his mistake and
made it known to DR.. McCIary. who is
boarding with him and was fortunately
at home, who Immediately administered
an emetic and antidotes with success.
Mr.. GOodSell had taken about sixty
grains Of opium and about the same Of
