n BAD ACCIDENT.-Last Friday
young man named Michael Carey.
employed by Geo. Fleming at the
livery stable, was dangerously hurt In
II rather singular manner. Right In
Itbe front door of the barn hangs .
tShort chain overhead from which the
Iboys have long been in the habit Of
Tswinging and jumping, hanging by
1.-The hands. Carey was trying this
Friday, and to make It easier on his
haDds he hsd put piece Of broom
stick through tho ring at the end Of
the chain and had one hand hold each
Iside. He is . very heavy man, weigh
ing nearly two hundred, ,aad when
the stick suddenly broke while he was
Iswuug out almost horizontally and he
fell some six or eight feet striking the
back Of his head on the oak sill of the
barn, 1t was fearful blow that he re-
ceived. His head was gashed badly,
but the worst injury was the con-
fusion. The doctors summoned
feared very much that he could not
recover, but at last accounts he was
better.
WILLIAMS The thieves, like the
fools, do not seem to be nearly all
dead. Last Saturday . couple Of men
coming IN the Muscatine rpad toward
Upton, did large job of stealing in
broad daylight. Their arst stop Of

John McCIain's and stole several ar
ticies. They were seen to stop 1t Ag-
news, but II was not known that the
solks were away from home aud so no
attention was paid to the matter.
Parties were out next day from down
there unsuccessfully looking for some
trace Of the rascals.
COSTLY LIONS -Speaking. the other
week. about having . course of leo
lures In Upton made us notice the
following statements in an exchange
regarding the tall figures some of the
lions in the Lecture Bureau are NAM
ing. There IL Wilkie Collins, the
celebrated English novelist. who will
come to America for the next lecture
season, and, who expects to 60 back
to "hold hingland" with $50, 900 in his
jeans, as Charles Dickins did. His
terms are three fourths Of the receipts;
and Of course he will only GO to cities
where the receipts are high up In the
hundreds. J. NJ. Bellew, the great
elocutionist. asks $500 per night.
Thos. Mast proposes to lecture on Art,
illustrating his subject on . black board
in the presence Of his audience for $3.50
q night. Nsst's circular hints that
persons well known In the different
communities he visits need not be
surprised to find themselves "illus-
trated," to their neighbors great
amusement If not to their own. There
are many others Of our own famous
men whose figures are as high As these
before we get down to the one and two
hundred dollar folks, some Of whom
we hope to see on Upton platform
within the next six mouths.
Our SCHOOLS. Our public schools
will begin week from Monday with
no change in the corps of teachers as
already announced. except in the sub
stitution Of Mrs. Geo. w. Fils0n in
place of Miss Frsz.e, who resigned
the position to which she had been
elected. Mrs. Filson receives very
high recommendation from the former
Superintendent OF the county in
Pennsylvania where she was teacher
before coming here.
Some items regarding the financial
matters Of the District kindly fur
nished US by the Secretary, Capt.
We,zel, may be of some interest to
our readers. The levy for 1872 was
So, 500 for teachers fund and 81 500
cOntingent-S5.O 600 In all. or this sum
$500 remains delinquent and unpaid.
and 81 ,437 is on hand. The estimates
each year are calculated to run the
District from January to January, and
the amo mt on hand will not be more
than sufficient for that purpose.
The estimate for the next year ia
81. 200 less than that for the current
year, rs follows: Teachers fund.
50 900; contingent fund, $500. The
per cent. NJ taxation for school pur
poses In 1879 was l2l mills. The re-
duced estimate ~ above will probably
make 1t about nine mills for 1873.
