BoY IIURT.-On Monday last, as Colder Shri-
ner was wheeling barron of coal past pile of
nail plate in the lower end of the rolling mill,
the prop which held up the mass of iron gave
way just AS the boy was passing. He saw the
danger he was in, but too late to entirely free
himself from the falling iron. The pile slid
down. on his legs, pinning him to the earth. His
cries brought prompt succor, but on account Of

RELICS OF OLDES TINEs.-In these days of CEN
terniai celebrations, when almost every county
in every State is bringing forth her oldest man
or woman, il is right that Clinton county should
perform her part, and provide accommodations
for these same ccntcnnarians. To this end. we
would call the attention of our readers in gen
cral. and the State Centennial Committee in
particular, to some pieces of household furniture,
which remains as mcmentocs of "auld lang
sync.' Mr.. Samuel b. johnson, Of Potter twp,
this county, has in his possession a chair that
belonged to his great-grandfather, having Leen
in constant use for more than one hundred and
sixty years, This chair is what Was known as
a hickory highback, and is yet in as good con-
diion apparently, a. it VAS century ago. Then,
to match this chair, Mrs. Lenluei Watson,
sister to Mr.. Johnson, has Il table that belonged
TO her great. grandmother, and which is surpOs
ed to DC about the same age as the chair. The
table is of Walnut, made in a most substantial
manner, and has served to bear nourishment for
four successive generations. We might add that
General Washington never saw the clair ortable.
