FATAL AccIDENT.-Mr. James
McColgin, a well-known citizen Of
Lincoln County, was found dead in
his Mill on the Goth of last month.
He was attending to the mill and it is
supposed that something connected
with the water wheel got wrong and
that while he was attempting to get
it fixed, some part of the machinery
struck him on the head knocking him
senssless. He was found by a young
lady living near the mill who, from
the peculiar way the mill was running
correctly judged that the burrs were
running without grain, and ran down
for the purpose Ofsupplying the same
or shutting of the water. Mr. MCol
gin was found in the water with his
skull fractured; he leaves a wife and
three children.

A very interesting article in the

CEREDo, March 23d lS15.-A correspon-
dent from Ceredo was kind enough TO give
an account of the first entertainment, and
now We hope our efforts will not prove en-
tirely unsuccessful. We think there is
promise of many brilliant stars in our
little community; but to proceed to the
account. The exercises were opened by
an anthem, in which the young ladies all
looked beautiful. All were dressed i'll
shimmery white, with delicate wreaths
i'm their hair, except Miss Carrie Rams
dell, who was dressed in Q rich, maroon
dress, and formed striking contrast to
the Others. This was followed by salu-
tatory, by Master Lloyd Mead. A reci-
tation "The Six Virtues" was well given,

tab!eau was followed nv IA rec, entitled
My Turn Next, which brought shouts of
applause. Mr. Charley Drew personated
an English gentleman to perfection, and
Mr.. LLOYD Hoard, as Tim Bolus, gained
great admiration. Miss Carrie Ramsdell

other characters were DR.. Hanson as COM
mercial traveller Frank Feszel as Farmer
Wheater, and Misses Annie Willis and
Maggie Perkins, who acquitted them
selves admirably Next was declama-
ton by Eddie Wharton. Then tableau,
entitled, Boring for Oil, which vas very
amusing, but we haven't ascertainei
whether Henry has reached the we'll, or
not. A recitation by Miss Alice Feazel
was very pretty. 4 dialogue, "Thc

Next followed tableau in two scenes.
Scene First, are onconvanience, reprcsen-

buff patch on the back of black coat.
Our hearts ached for the fororn man. But

was changed. There was the same "Pat"
but not in as much trouble as before, for
now there was spruce "Biddy', busily

WIS we'll gwen. The May Queen, a dia-
logue, was very pretty. In the center of
the stage was the throne, decorated with
evergreen, around which. were grouped
the nymphs and seasons, while on the
throne were the May Queen and Flora.
The effect was beautiful. After this came
a tableau in two scenes, entitled Mrs.
Darlington and Ike. Scene first repre-
.ented a kitchen, with a table set for two,
in the center; at one side sits Mrs. P. with
4 wide-frilled cap and spectacles on, and
while she is 40 absorbed in her knitting,
Ike is in the act of eating lump of sugar.
Second scene, Poor Ike by some means
she CHANGED to see him and now has him
by the collar, while high above his
head, hovers the rod. You can almost
see the mad in her cap border, while on
Ike's face is depicted the utmost fear.
The next was farce, Slasher and Crash

would have done this deed go DELHI

mind His letter to his brother shows
this too he signs it, "Your brother,
who has been shamefully treated from
his childhood up" We are informed
by those who are well acquainted with
the family, that Mr.. Peck's father
and mother are very affectionate in
their family, have treated all their
children well, and that this young
man Charles has always been favor
lite with his brothers and sisters as
well US his parents.
Mr.. Joseph Peck arrived here on
Friday, in company with Prof Clark,
from Cincinnati. They waited until
SUNDAY for some of the family to
arrive from home but they did not
get here, so he was buried on Sunday
morning in the Cemetery at this
place. Rev. Mr.. Johnston, of the
NJ. E. Church, South, preached the
funeral sermon.

the tragic part of it. their shrieks were
appalling.
This was preceded BY grand tableau,
The Queen of Sheba, before King Soloman.
Mr.. Mark Poore personated the King and
looked kingly in his rich, flowing robe
and massive crown. He stood on the
steps to the throne, with outstretched
hand to receive the gifts. Before him.
with head bowed in reverence, was the
Queen, personated by Miss Carrie Rams
dell, who was dressed in rich, flowing
drapery. There was retinue of six at
tendants, who were draped in nantes. 1t
was an imposing tableau, and was the
richest of any. After this Bombastes
Furioso, was repeated, on special request.
Then tableau called the Artists Studio,
which was very pretty. We think the
closing song Was the best of any. The
different characters were arranged on the
stage in costume. There was King Ar
ta1onine, on his right. The Queen OF
Sheba, on his left, Distaffinia, peasant
girl; and still further on, was aowery.
Flora, Spring, Summer and the other
seasons, we think. Fusbos, Minister OF
State, looked as natural as ever. Then
there was Aunt Dinah, Rosa, and the
renowned Gen. Bombastes, and so on too
numerous to mention. The walls echoed
back, "Now 10 all kind good night"
We cannot close without congratulating
Mrs. Poore on her good success, and
thanking Miss Lanham of Catlettburg.
for her kindness, in assisting about the
singing. Several persons remained some
time after the entertainment TO see what
was going to be done. We left Mr.. Work

to be waiting for his Fate,"-have not

The SUICIDE AT THE COLLEGE,
II is very seldom that we hear of so
deliberate n suicide rs that of Chas.
NJ. Peck at the college last week II
is difficult to believe that he was in
his right mind, and vet no one suspec'
tel that he was otherwise. He wrote
several letters and the writing did
not Indicate the least nervousness, but
was as correctly done, as if it had
been school exercise. Then he did
not do it in a moment of excitement,
but after hours Of determination; he
wrote four letters, gave them to his
friend to mail then went back to
his room and spent some time there.
Then he went down stairs and Dor
rowed the pistol saying that he wan

remained sometime in his room after
that. as he did not commit the deed
until the inmates of the hous" were
asleep. as none Of them heard the
report, OF the noise of the fall, which
must have been quite violent.
Mr.. Peck had many estimable quail
ties. He seemed determined 10 Sc
cure a good education. He had been
working for that end, had earned
money by teaching and by trading in
various WAYS. Some OF his trades
turned out rather badly and he was
greatly worried about that. Then he
lost some money which he owed for
b1ard, which added greatly to his
troubles. Besides all this, he fancied
that he was sighted by his friends,
and his society rejected by persons to
whom he was attached; all these
things together seemed 70 upset his
