CAsUALTIEs.-A lad Of fourteen ac-
cidentally shot himself on the 25th
inst, at the Larry House, while adjust
ing the trigger of his pistol. The
ball entered upon the inside of the
thigh six inches above the knee, pass
ing diagonally downward crossing just
under the knee joint, imbedding itself
in the muscles of the opposite side six
inches below the knee. He was chic
reformed and the ball removed with
out difficulty.
A little girl five years old, daughter
of Mr.. John Casey, fell from pile of
slabs on the 9th inst, badly fractur-
ing both bones of the leg just above
the ankle joint. DR.. Wight was
called to the above cases. We learn
from the Doctor that he is to be pre-
pared to administer, in its purity,
nitrous oxide gas, for all minor oper-
atoms in surgery as soon as the 25th
of this month. He will probably be
the first to introduce so great boon
to suffering humanity, into village,
We are little behind the times in
this sort of gas. 1t is preferable to
chloroform or ether.

WentwOrth's Location.

H. G. Hartshorn and G. w. Smith
of Lancaster, visited this place July
Goth, for the purpose of fishing. We
did not learn if they had good luck
catching trout, but noticed when they
left that they had good sized suck
er in tow, and persume they took him,
as he has not been seen in these waters
since. We are afraid they did not
stop in the place long enough to see
all its wonders, not even our "big
men," Why, they would have been
astonished at the number of"big men"
contained in so small place, and
what is most remarkable they are all
Lawyers. 1t is astonishing to think
where they could have gained so much
knowledge and besides it is so edify-
ing to hear them explain all those
knotty law questions in such clear
and satisfactory manner Ito them
Selves.
The name Of the new Steamer is the

was reported u few weeks since.

of every minister, for there arc too
many preachers of the Gospel whose
only object appears TO be to get goin anC

with such, neither do we wish to he.
but when minister comes here with
no other object than to do good, we
believe we know it, and appreciate il

his son and grandson are not smart,

FIRE.-On the night of July 81,

The insurance commissioners have

Them from one-half to two and one-half
per cent. on the previous rates which
makes it as runious to insure as it
does to get burnt out every two or
