OF course your readers are all aware that
the ninth annual exhibition and fair of the
Bucks Co. Agricultural Society is now under
full blast, SO l will not notice that farther
than to say that this exhibition is always
good s AN ~
The corn crop in Bucks Co. promises to be
an excellent one, and already some farmers
are at work cutting it up. Potatoes, as far
as heard from, are also Of good size and yield
well. Hxk
Quite an excitement exists In the neighbor-
hood of Centreville and Greenville regarding
the supposed discovery of iron ore on the farm
Mr.. Augustus Cox. The field in which the ore
was found in any quantity is now under the
control Of the Bethlehem Iron Co., and they
will certainly push forward il ore exists in
any paying quantity.
A serious accident occurred between Centre
vile and Spring Valley on Saturday evening,
the 9th ult. Mr.. Carey Ball and jennie
Ritter, son of Mr. Peter Ritter, the proprietor
of the Centreville hotel, started to go to
Doylestown. They were each in separate bug
gies, and after driving about a mile and
hall, Jonnic started to drive around Mr..
Ball, and just as his horse came along side of
Mr.. Ball'sh the horse became suddenly fright
ened and raising on his hind feet, he plunged
his fore feet into the buggy occupied by Mr..
Ball and upset it, throwing him out and
damaging the buggy considerably. jennie
seeing the serious turn of affairs, jumped out
and in so doing broke his leg.
We understand that Mr.. Henry g. Bovine,
formerly of Lambertville,) now residing near
Parsons Corner, is suffering from sore foot
which started as pimple and gradually be-
came worse and at last accounts threatened
his whole foot with erysipelas. DIR. Jas. L.
Stiles, of your city, who attends him, con
siders it rather dangerous.
Mr.. Allen Bye, Jr., residing near Parsons
Corner, found one Of his horses with broken
leg on Sunday morning week. The horse
was turned out on Saturday night alone and
was found on Sunday morning with his leg
broken. The cause of it is yet mystery.
The horse was killed.
This closes our catalogue for the present
but we will ever remain ON the
LOOK Our.
