The following reached us too late for
insertion last week:
One of our worthy citizens being
very unhappy on account of domestic
difficulties, concluded, last Saturday
night, that his best hold was in separa.
tion and he would therefore depart.
Accordingly about II o'clock Satur-
day night he silently bid adieu to
home and wife, and taking his horse,
very valuable one, he started for
parts unknown, with the whole dreary,
wide world before him, until Sunday
morning, about o'clock, when he as
silently returned, replaced the horse
in the deserted stable and resumed his
vacant place in his muchly bereaved
family. We presume there was joy
over the returning wanderer, and now
"all is quiet on the Potomac"
On the SOth of May last, two colts,
aged one and two years old, were
taken up by Marshal Carpenter and
advertised as estrays. On Monday
last they were claimed and proved by
Mr.. M. Dennis, of Bloom township,
Wood county, whence they had
strayed about the Goth of May.
On last Saturday afternoon a law
suit was held in the carpenter shop of
Messrs. Gates, Shirey & Lozier. This
shop is situated in the second story of
Mr.. Harvey Smiths carriage shop,
and is reached by flight of stairs run
ming from the ground to a platform
extending from the upper front door
out oyer the sidewalk. This platform
was fastened to the building and sup
ported by braces instead of posts.
During the progress of the suit, while
some half a dozen persons were out
on the platform it suddenly gave way,
and platform, stairs and all upon them
fell suddenly and with a great crash
to the sidewalk below. Great excite
ment and CONSERVATION was pro-
dueed by the accident, those within
fully seeing and realizing the danger
GUS position of those upon the falling
platform and being unable for want
Of any means of egress to offer any
help. Fortunately only three persons
of those upon the platform were in
jured and none fatally. MIR. Albert,
received a bruise upon side |
and hip, not sufficiently to disable |
him, and he was among the first to
offer assistance to others. NJ. J,K.
of Tlfiin, was bruised upon
the chest and side by coming in con-
tact with some part of the falling
structure. He, however, refused to be
and in a few moments was
ready to proceed with the suit which
he was engaged in trying. NJ. ]. w.
Simpson, who was standing near the
outer edge of the platform, was a lit
tie more unlueky than his fellow pas
sengers, some Of them and a part of
VIC PAoeiSAnA Ao8IihS upOA uiLns After
being carried home an examination
showed that he had received a yery
severe sprain Of one foot and ankle.
(such as promises tedious and diff
cult recovery, and had also received
several bruises upon the back, shoul-
ders, neck and arms. He was attend
ed by Drs. Myers and Barber, and is
doing as well as from the nature Of
his injuries could be expected. The
platform is old and rotten and has for
. long time been regarded as unsafe,
and for some time past there had been
\ prop kept under the outer edge. Only
! short time before the day of the ac-
,ident this prop was taken out for
'ome purpose, and it was careIessly
eft in that condition. Surely the
nan who would knowingly hold a
public trial in a place only accessible
'y such a trap, Is, to say the least of
him. grossly negligent and thought
