Church held their Festivalrin Town

everything arranged. Their tables were
bountifully spread with everything

Horrible Accident .Courtship, Disaster
and Death.

ahQ OC8tus
A most frightful tragedy occurred
about one mile west of the Marsh cross
ing near Mt. Victory, on Sunday morn
ing last about O'Clock. A daughter of
Mrs. Hinton, who formerly resided in
Kenton, had beenkeeping company with
a young man to whom she was to have
been married few days hence. They
had been attending protracted meeting
for several successive nights and ex-
hausted and worn out for want Of rest,
both fell asleep in their chairs, and sit
ting close to the stove, the young lady's
dress caught fire from the stove, and be-
fore they were aroused, she was entire
ly enveloped in flames. Bed clothes
were brought into requisitiOn to subdue
the fine buta all to no purpose, and not
withstanding the utmost exertions were
used, she was literally roasted alive, her
clothing being entirely burned from her
body. The victim of this terrible dis.
aster lived about twenty-six hours after
the accident occurred, until death re-
lieved her of her sufferings. In their
endeavors to put out the fire, the clothes
of an entire bed, including the straw
tick, were wholly or partly consumed,
and by being enveloped in this clothing,
her body. was roasted, so that in dispos-
ing her corpse for burial, the limbs were
found barely clinging to the body and
the entire surface of her person was
crisp and baked. She was young lady
of about Is or 10 years of age and had
just experienced religion, and was ap-
parently happy, it is said, even in her
terrible affiiction, as long as conscious
ness remained. The affair spread a
gloom over the entire neighborhood,
where an unusual excitement has been
kept up for some time on account of the
protracted meetings being held there

A Narrow Escape,

During the high waters a few days
since, a man by the name of Childs at
tempted to cross Killbuck, in a two
horse buggy down by Sharp's bridge.
The road across the bottom was covered
with water and floating ice. When at
a very narrow place in the road, with
Killbuck on one side and hole about
eight or ten feet deep on the other, his
horses frightened at the cakes of float
ing ice, and ran the buggy off into the
hole, throwing the man out. By great
efforts he succeeded in getting the
horses unhitched from the buggy and
made his way to the bridge. Messrs.
Schamp and Hudnut seeing the pro-
ceedings, ran to his rescue, but as they
could not get to him withoutwading, they
hurried back home, got their team and
a skiff, which they took with them
They succeeded in getting the buggy
out by breaking a road through the ice
with the assistance of the boat, and by
getting chain around the axle of the
buggy, to which they hitched Mr.
Schamps team, Mr.. Hudnut holding the
pole i'm the boat. The mans horses
were nearly chilled to death, being in
the water nearly two hours. The bug
gy was somewhat bruised by the greal
chunks of ice rubbing against it. Lei
this be a warning to Mr.. Childs ant
and others to keep out of deep waters
especially when the ice is breaking up

seThe Origin of Man,

DIR. Lord, President of the Universe
ty of Wooster, delivered a lecture on
the above named subject in Town Hall,
Friday evening, which was highly in
teresting. The DIR. handles his subject
in a mastery manner, his arguments
being clear, concise, powerful and con-
elusive, requiring the closest attention
in order to get their full force. His
language is beautiful, his style of die
tion pleasing. The arguments Of the
scientists who claim that man sprang
from some other source different from
that which Moses relates, were happi-
ly refuted. The attendance was much
larger than the Friday evening previ-
GUS, which is doubtless an indication
that these lectures are becoming more
highly appreciated. We trust this is
the case, and that hereafter the Hall
will be packed full every evening.

Keen Your Mouth Shut.

Keep your mouth shut in cold veather.
The nostrils are the proper inlets and
outlets of the breath. They are pur-
posely circuitous. The air thus has its
chill taken off before reaching the lungs,
while, on its return, it restores again
the warmth it has distracted. On the
contrary, the air taken in through the
mouth strikes, perhaps at tempera-
ture of zero, directly on the most deli
cate of the local organs, causing, often
hoarseness, cough, bronchitis or pull
monary congestion.
Moreover, the nostrils are natural in
haling tubes, better than the best sold
in the shops. When the breathing is
done through them, the slight resistance
to expiration-and it is this resistance
which leads most people to form the
habit of breathing through their mouth,
causes the lungs to fill to the full, thus
calling every part of them into neces-
sary action, more completely oxygena-
ting the blood, and greatly diminishing
any consumptive tendency. In this lat
ter view, it is important to breathe
through the nostrils in warm weather
as well as in cold, and also to aceustom
ones self to sleep with the mouth
closed.
But our rule is as good morally as
physically; for sometimes worse mat
ter comes from the mouth than ever en-
tiers it. We say, then, though it has
been said a thousand times, keep your
mouth shut when you are angry. A
smothered fire, however fierce it may
be, is soon out.
We cannot forbear adding, now We
are in the mood for it, keep your mouth
shut ,chen you haze nothing rorth saying.
If you have nothing within but COM
mon-place, or nonsense, or tattle, or
evil thoughts, better let them rot inside
than pour them out on others. Besides,
all bad kept in by a strong will, reacts
in good.
