On Thursday evening last a fearful

finberry and wife at Cleveland. They
had inst returned from Mt. Vernon
where they had been attending the
wedding of their son, were driving in
a carriage from the depot TO their
home that evening. At the Light
house street-crossing the horses frigh-
tened at three moving cars, became
unmanageable, the driver was unable
to get them across, and the carriage
stopped on the track. Mr.. and Mrs.
Coffinberry attempted to get out, but
were struck by the front car wheels,
which passed over the the Judges leg
below the knee, crushing it in such a
terrible manner that amputation was
necessary. The Judge also sus-
tanned number of severe bruises
about tho head and shoulders. Mrs.
Z, received severe internal injuries,
besides having her shoulder dislocated
and suffering severe contusions about
the head. 1t is thought her injuries
will prove fatal. The sufferers were

PAINFUL AcCIDENT.-O Saturday
afternoon Mrs. Hungerford, wife of
Horace Hungerford, living about a
mile north of Rootstown Station, re.
ceived a very serious injury by being
burned. The family were engaged in
boiling soap near their. residence,
when a neighbor drove up and hitchcd
his team to get drink of water. His
horses broke .oose and ran, which
called the folks away from the soap
boiling, leaving Mrs. II. at the kettle,
she standing with her back to the fire
watching the horses, when her cloth
ing took fire. She attempted to quench
the fire by rolling on the grass, but
the grass took fire adding to the fury
of the flames. Observing a piece of
carpet laying near she picked it up
and endeavored to wrap it about her,
but did not succeed. She then resort
ed to tub Of water standing near
and by the use of her bonnet for 8
dipper and by sitting down in the tub
she succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, but not until she had been
burned in a most horrible manner
about her back, hips and sides. Fears
were entertained for time that the
injuries would prove fatal, but at last
accounts she was still living.

FRIGHTFUL RUNAwAY.-Just before
noon on Friday a horse belonging to
Mr.. John Jones, of this village, be-
came frightened and broke loose from
its fastening in front of Hudson's meat
market and ran a. furious rate for
the Court house park, dragging the
fine top carriage to which it was har-
messed after it. Here the carriage
struck the hind wheels OF an open
buggy, breaking both spindles of the
axeltree thereof. The carriage was
turned completely over. striking upon
its top, spilling basket of apples and
a crock Of apple-butter out and scat
tering them promiscously over the
ground. But the carriage soon right
ed itself and the frightened animal
Kept on its journey at the top of its
speed till it came to the awning in
front of NJ. Donahue's grocery, where
it took to the sidewalk. Col. Frazer,
who has been confined to his room by
sickness. was sitting on the steps un-
der the awning and was too feeble to
move out of tho way. but fortunately
the wheel of the vehicle missed him
by hair and providentially he es-
capped any injury. The horse and car
riage followed the sidewalk for few
rods, where the animal got loose from
the vehicle and ran for home. The
carriage was considerably smashed up
but not so seriously as would be sup
posed from the rough usage it re-
ceivcd.

leaving on the noon train on the &. &
p. r. II. The crowd that assembled
at the depot to bid them farewell was
large, reminding one of the times

many warm friends behind them who
will cherish their memories and pray
for their success. The party, as before
stated, consists of Messrs. Oliver l..
Green, Charles B. Wadsworth, Thos.

DYSPEPSIA,

Dyspepsia is the most discouraging
and distressing disease man is heir to.
Americans are particularly subject to
this disease and its effects; such as
sour stomach, sick headache, habitual
cestiveness, heartburn, water-brash,
gnawins and burning pains in the pit
of the stomach, coming up of the food,
coated tongue, disagreeable taste in
the mouth, impure blood and all dis
eases of the Stomach and LIVER. Two
doses of GREENS AUGUST FLOWER
will relieve you at once, and there
positively is not case in the United
States it will not cure. If you doubt
this go to your Druggists, BELpING s.
ARMsTRTNG, and get sample bottle
for 10 cents and try it. Regular size

Locals in this vicinity are extreme.
ly scarce, and j Judge by the dearth
of locals lately in the PRESS. that items
in other localities are as scarce as here.
The oldest Inhabitants are discuss
ing the novelty of the present spring
weather, and come of them can re-
member a. similar opening of the
spring, from forty to sixty years ago
according to their memory. But
very few, however, can remember a
time when there was as little mud as
has been the present season.
Wheat is looking first rate, at this
time; happily disappointing those
ho believed the extreme cold wealth
er of last winter had ruined the crop.
The sugar season has been short, but
good flow of sap has richly repaid
those who were ready for the first
run. A large amount of molasses has
been manufactured and mostly sold at
81 so per gallon. The high price paid
last fall for potatoes. and maintained
TO the present time, has somewhat ex-
cited the farmers in this vicinity, and
the indications now are that q greater
breadth of that crop will be cultivated
This season than ever before, and
probably greater breadth than of
any other crop. Should the season be
fayorabIe, those who have TO buy may
expect very cheap potatoes.
Iwould suggest to your correspond
ent b. of Randolph, who enquiries.
"what will farmers do for feed for
their stock if we should have dry
season." &c.,-that if farmers will
plant an acre, or thereabouts, of CONF
mon garden or sweet corn, contiguous
to their pastures. they will find itvefy
beneficial and profitable. The c9in
should not be planted at one time, Hut
at several times, SO that it may matqre
sufficiently to commence feeding upbn
from about the middle of July and
continue till the earliest frost. The
last planting should have time to max
ture before the first frost may reason,
ably be expected. None of the corn
should be allowed to harden in the
hill, but should be cut and shocked
while the corn is yet soft; it will re-
main in that condition for some time.
and will be relished by stock exceed
ingly.
Our election passed without any ex-
citcment. A majority of the voters

much of a success as was anticipated.
There were only from two to three
hundred in attendance, and the class
numbered but about thirfy-fivc. The

O'Clock, all of the class having missed
before that time. The first prize was
awarded to Bradford Howland. Esq.
the second to Mrs. Lyman S. Ward,

Though the entertainment afforded
considerable fun and no small degree
of profit, it was voted not to have a
repetition OF it on Monday evening,
