3 ACCIDENT. -Messrs. VIM. ]. War
ga rem and w. r. Blain met with quite a
little accident last Tuesday. They hau
started for Jefferson in two-horse
buggy, taking with them sewing
machine, and happening to pass under
q a railroad bridge just as the freight
train came along, their horses scared
and, starting to run, overturned the
buggy. Mr.. Blain jumped out and
alighted on the ground all right but
Mr.. Warren was not quite SO fortunate.
When the buggy upset it threw him
ont upon the gronnd. the machine fall
ING across his back and inaicting some
) Injuries. The horses, after running a
short distance, turned around and
started back and were then caught.
The damage to the buggy amounted to
very little, but the sewing machine
was pretty badly demoralized, The
two gentlemen then concluded not to
go on TO Jefferson, so they packed up
their things which were strewed along
the road and came back to this city.
After q judicious use of "the next best
thing" as Skimmerhorn called 1t, Mr.
Warren is now able to be out on the
streets.

81, RUNAwAY.-A lively runaway oc-
CURED on our streets last Wednesday,
which resulted in the total demolition
of a hack belonging to some person in
Polk county. The team started from in
front of the marble shop and ran down
to Gheadle's corner where it collided
with horse, knocking him heels over
~ head. Not being stopped by this OBJ
struction the team ran on until 1t ar
rived at the crossing of the railroad,
where the hack dashed against the
bridge and became disengaged from
the horses, At the time Of the runa-
way there was fine booded sheep
and goat in the hack, and strange to
say, they were not hurt, although the
ruins of the hack were piled up on top
Of the latter animal. The hack was
completely demolished-no nothing of it
being left whole with the exception of
lnch-pin and the king bolt.
