last, the flrc-prOOf cellar i'm Sam Fried
mans anction store fell,in luckily with
out doing any serious damage to the
goods stored in the place. The cave
was first discovered by sam. when re-
firing to his sleeping apartment back
of II place. lie had been
the Turner House soircc, and i'm poiny
through the store was astonishcd To Soc
as he imagined, a quantity of goods in
the middle of the floor. Ills first
thought was that a party of burglars
had effected an entrance i'm the place.
and after selecting such articles and
goods us they desired were removing
them from the place 10y the back wav.
1t was very dark, and hearing no noise
10 warrant his supicions correct, he lit
Il match, and the small ylimmer
from tie burning luciier showed to his
horrGr that he was standing on the
brink Of Il yawning abyss. The true
state of affairs were not slow in become
ing apparent. The cellar, owing to the
heavy weight above, had caved in, 1t
was constructed four years q and
used to store goods in to protect them
from fire. The uprightS and stringers
had rotted away until complete
Iy decaycd and the timbcrs form
ing II top finding no support from
underneath gave way, occaSioning a
break of about ten feet square. Al
though Il number of articles went
down, it was found on removing the
debris they had sust lined but little in
jury, even Il quantity of glassware be-
ing taken out unbroken. a new cellar
will be constructed in Il few days.
HORSE Observation-Disclosures after
noon, one of the horses attached to
Pritchard's delivery dray, was seri-
ously injured by stepping on a broken
bottle while passing through Monroe
street, between Bateman and Clark.
The glass cut a frightful cash under
the fetlock of the left hind foot, sever
ing one of the arteries, and for a time
it was thought impossible to stop the
bleeding of the wound. The proper
remedies were administered, however,
and finally the blood ceased to flow.
The animal, which is a very fine Onc,
was taken to the stable and will proba-
rly ecovcr. This is the second acct
dent happening to horses belonging
to Mr.. Pritchard, both occurring ut
about the same p,ace-the first nearly
Il year ago-reSulting in the death of
The wounded animal. The habit of
throwing bottles in the streets is high
ly reprehcn>ible, and though the ordi-
nance against such actions is now an
nlled, it should still he the duty of the
officers t. arrest such parties who are
guilty of the otlcnse.

hold their stated monthly communica-
ton. The members of the Lodge, and
all Of the members, are expected to be
present, while s%oioulning brethren in
good standing are solicited to attend,
as it is understood that business of the
most important character will come
before the Lodge for its consideration.
We are not as yet fully authorized to
speak of what that business will on
>ist, but if we were to venture Il guess,
we would say that it is something on
nect"d with he erection of Il building
thai will more than probably be an
ornament to our town. AS We are not
good at guessing, however, we must
await further developments.
