Family Accidents.

Mount Vernon, Ills, Nov.3.-A
most singular accident, resulting
in the death of promising
daughter of Barton jackson, if
teen years of age, residing in
MoOre's prairie in this county,
occurred night before last. Mr..
Burton having company at his
house found it necessary for his
children to make their beds for
the night upon the floor. During
the night, the father, very heavy
man, weighing over two hundred,
left his own bed and, forgetting
the children who were almost at
his feet, stepped with his whole
weight upon his fifteen-year- old
daughter, crushing in her breast
bone and killing Ter instantly.
A shocking accident occurred
on Tuesday afternoon on the farm
of Mr.. Huston, about nine miles
south of Brookfield, Mo. During
the afternoon a flock of prairie
chickens alighted near the house,
and Mrs. Messersmith. the wife of
the tenant, conceived the idea of
trying to shoot them with a rifle,
which she took down for the pur-
pose. She, however, abandoned
the attempt, but as she was still
handling the gun, her little girl
came up, and at the instant she
was opposite the muzzle, the gun
was discharged, the ball passing
through the lower part of the
child's body, inflicting a deadly
wound. A messenger was soon
dispatched for DR.. PetLijohn, who
arrived a short time before the
child's death. The grief and hor-
ror of the mother at the awful ca
lamity can better be imagined
than described.

originated is not known,I believe. The
house was one of the best in town.
Mr.. Pigman has bought the fine
residence of Mr.. T. &. Page. Two
families from Nebraska moved in town
this week, and have gone right to work
hauling rock and sand at our City
Mills preparatory to making some i'm
provements thereto.
Our millers have not taken adFan-
tage Of the low water, by advancing
the price of flour, neither will they. So
you see, we have honest millers down
this way.
! Several of our farmers have from
500 to 1000 bushels of potatoes stored
away. While at Mr.. Kearns' last Sat
urday, We noticed enc pile of 500 bush
els of peachblows, and several piles of
early varieties on which he took the
; premium at your district fair. l noticed
crib of fine yellow corn which, Mr..
X. says, yielded 100 bushels per acre.
Our stores have received large
sample turnips lately, and the largest

friend. Mr.. Jacob Rector, of this place.

/ ference, and weighed So pounds. in

MIR. j. O'Toolc. jr., left for CaIifor-
MIA some three weeks ago, and Mr.
, Ames, formerly OF this place, returned
last week from the Golden State.
The excitement over the election has
died away, and old Jackson township
did nobly by the regular ticket--givins
large majority for it. Hi. Conner ran
ahead OF the ticket, which shows thai
he is popular man of the period. ON
fellow tOwnsman, Mr.. F. II. Page, re-
