We regret to learn that a little boy of Mr.. j.
IL. Fritts, of this place, fell from wagon and
| one wheel passed over him, completely crush
| ing his thigh. The little fellow was on the top
| of load of sand when he lost his balance and
| rolled of between the wheels while the wagon
| was in motion.
| One of the workmen employed to recover
| the railroad bridge ut this place with tin, on
| Tuesday last, as they were about finishing up,
near the middle of the river, lost his balance
| and fell distance of about sixty feet into the
| water below, and strange to say received no in
jury, with the exception of little scratch from
the pier as he went down. He alighted erect
on his feet in the water, waist deep, and after
calmly viewing the situation around him
waided out in shallow water, and took his seat
on large rock, from where he was arrested by
his fellow workmen in his cool position. LODI

Those posted inform us that they think the
price of new wheat, in this market will open at
ST. per bushel At first few extra lots may
| bring better figures, but we are of opinion that
the price will settle down at the figures men
toned.

ate cabbage head the other day about the
size of a dinner pot, and that she felt mo pain"

shall pronounce her as proofagainst the cholera.

The man Sinor, whe was hit by Harvey, on
the railroad on Monday. of last week, died Of
1 | the wounds inflicted on tho 10th instant Ths
particulars which led to this unfortunate oc,
currence, as we gather them, are about these
e Simon was a boss of a section and had Harvey
s in his employ on the road. On Saturday be-
: fore the occurrence Harvey had failed to work
and did not notify Sinor, according to rules
e that he would be absent. When Harvey re
ported on Monday morning Sinor told him that
the road required the keeping up of the track
1 that he was scarce Of hands, and that if hC
n Harvey did not expect to conform to the rule
n he might consider himself discharged. This il
= | all that was said. Sinor turned round anC
u stopped down to get some tools out of the boz
d in order to go to work. While in this position
!, Harvey struck him over the head, some thre
times, with Il handspike breaking his skull il
It one or two places. Sinor survived until tn
h Thursday night following when he died, a
g stated above. Harvey is still at large. w
d have no doubt but that the Governor upon tn
t., facts being made known to him, will offer a re
n ward for his apprehension Cleveland Banner
