EE- Now that the sickle Is being
put 10 motion it is recommended to
save life and injury: Never stand
or sit in front of the sickle bar while
the horses are attacked to the ma
chine. Never place the hand where
the sickle or gearing might cause an
accident if the horses should start.
Many accidents have been the result
of the careless habit OF standing or
sitting in front Of the knives while
adjusting some part of the machinery
or removing grass or grain which
has clogged the sickles. Unex-
pectedly striking an obstruction
may throw even careful driver in
front of the knives. The best pre-
caution against this is to fasten a
strap on the opposite side of the
machine, forming a loop through
which the arm of the driver is passed
az far as the elbow. The arm being
bent to hold the reins, such loop
might prevent even violent jar un-
seating the driver.

CHEESE PoIsoNING.-Somewhere
from rs to loo persons in and around
Lancaster were poisoned from eating
cheese, last Saturday and Sunday
Messrs. Hyde & UT purchased of the
Animation factory a cheese which they
placed on sale at their store. Altho'
many individuals were attacked, no
fatal results followed. OF course, no
blame attaches to any one concerned
with the manufacture or sale of the
cheese, as such cases are of frequent
occurrence.

FIRE AT GLEN HAVEN -MosT or

western Grant was the scene on
Friday afternoon last of one of the
most destructive fires that ever visited
any part of this county. Property 10
the amount of full $4,000 dollars, upon
which there was very little insurance,
was destroyed, and nearly the whole
business portion of the town laid in
ashes. The fire was first discovered
shortly after the dinner hoar in the
large stone warehouse owned by DIR.
Grinter situated on Front street. an d
Notwithstanding the almost superhu.
man efforts of the citizens the progress
of the flames could not be checked.
A strong breeze blowing from the
west carried the flames across the
street to a building occupied by John
McKiil as a grocery store. The flames
soon swallowed up the building and
swept northward taking in its train all
the buildings on Front street. Mean.
time the FIRE got start in one of the
wooden buildings on Main street and
carried away number ofbusiness and
residence buildings. The large steam
saw mill of King Sc Ramsey, as also
the lumber yard, escaped. The losses
estimated on some of the property
burned (we have been Enabled to get
complete and perfect list of the
losses) are as follows: DIR. Grinter,
warehouse and contents $4,000; some
insurance. John McKill, on building,
