| \ CARRIAGE containing Mr.. Robert
| Lyle, Rev. Joseph 5. Lyle and wife,
was overturned and the party thrown
to the ground. Mr.. Lyle was driving
down hill at brisk pace, and the
wheel striking an obstruction in the
.s51 d, csuscd tho accident. Fortunate
/ ~ the horses did not take fright. and
the party, we are happy to say, sus,
tanned no serious injury, although re-
ceiving some painful bruises. Rev.
Lyle assisted Rev. Milford in the dis
pensation of the Lords Supper, al
Crabappie last Sabbath, and delivered
All interesting and instructive discourse
from the pulpit.
THE friends of Judge Cowcn are
glad to know that he is recovering
| from his injuries. He is held in high
regard by those who know him here,
and while suffering he had their warm
est sympathy.
! i ST. CLAIRsVILLE Demo crat was in
town last evening distributing Prohi-
bition tickets. Ne presume ne brought
one or two for those oldest temperance
men' who lectured here during the
crusade. This day will determine
whether men talk 'One way and vote
another.
THREsHING.-Messr Sharp & Co..
state that they have threshed oats this
season at the rate OF 40 bushels in ten
minutes. They know how. Messrs
Kilgore had their steam thresher in
operation here ON Friday; it works fast
and does the work well. NOtwith-
-tanding the adverse report of -,
! from GAINESVILLE, the Steam Wagon has
proved of value and practical utility;
it threshes grain, and draws its own
machinery from place to place. 1t is
also useful AS a portable engine for va
rious purposes.
CABBAGE woRMs.-We purchased a
cabbage plant of Briggs d Bro, who,
like G. W., never told lie. 1t Was
to weigh % or 80 pounds on an ave
rage, and they stated that Mr.. Alley
had grown them measuring sic fee
around the solid head. We resolved tC
excel MIR. A.; we would grow one
measuring six feet seven and three
eighths inches, and send it up to Cadi1
Fair, on the Steam Wagon. So we 'se
it OUT but like the little pig in tht
rear-rank at supper time, it didn't grow
much. So, emulating the example o
the man with the barren fruit tree
we digged about it and dunged it;
then the drouth set in, and we set oul
stakes at three feet and three sixteenth
J inches clear of the stump-shot, anC
tearfully awaited cabbage harvest. a
the time when the early frosts caused
them to become mellow and fall from
the bough, we pick d it, and could hdvt
measured II feet around the solid head
but we weighed it, and it weighed
just two ounces; and then we cut i
open, and that reminds me OF how /
cabbage worm looks under mlcrOs
cope. Their body is covered will
black spots, out of which grows brist
ly looking hair; there is bright vel
low stripe extending the whole length
, down the backbone, (?) also short yei
low stripes on the sides, upon which Ii
imprinted the letter O, and we fee
: confident that if the letter w, upoI
the wing of a locust stands for war,
: this stands for Orleans molasses, an(
indicates good supply OF this sweet
ness. Their legs are short and thick
and like an elephants, and their hands
and feet resemble couple of clan
shells, with claws of tortoise, ant
seem to be adapted for playing 'holC
fast all l give you,' but they don't dc
it. They are very easily tracked, w
= suppose owing to the peculiar iorma
tion of their feet. There WAS look o
settled melancholy about the eyes 0
our victim, AID we inferred that in hi
youthful days he had been crossed il
: love. Even an extract from Bill anC
f the Widow stating how our hero re
, covered his hat, failed to provoke /,
smile. Perhaps this detected state o
mind was owing to the fact that W,
were compelled to cut off his heads il
t order to get better view of his coun
tenance. Ifa little worm be mashed
a when fully ripe it will stink a yellow
: dog out ofa slaughter house.
