THROAT CIT Ely ACCIDENT.

On Monday morning of last week pain
full accident happened to Hiram Diehl, while
| engaged in butcherng at the residence OF
Mr.. James Reiland, in Limestone, Upper
Augusta township, few miles below Sun
bury. While engaged in cleaning hog
which was lying on a platform, his foot
slipped on board. In falling the elbow OF
his right arm hit the edge of the platform,
and the knife he held in his hand entered
the neck below the right jaw, and by the
force of the fall was driven in an upward di-
rection nearly the length Of the blade. The
wound was fearful one. The jugar vein
was not cut, but an important artery was
severed Those who were present did all
they could to stop the bleeding by holding
the wound shut, until the aid of the doctor
could be obtained. DR.. Martin, of Sunbury,
was sent for, who dressed the wound, but at
last accounts the unfortunate man VI. lying
in an unconscious condition. with but little
hope of his recovery. 1t is supposed that
the knife either entered the brain or injured
the spinal cord. Mr. Diehl is about 45
years of age, and had wife and six chill

HELP TO MOTHERS NURSING INFANTS --
1t is Il conceded fact that mothers who have
the care, anxiety and draught of nursing in
iants are weak and need the aid of some
strengthening tonic to make up the nour-
ishment required for the growth Of the
child, Ale, portcr,and lager beer have often
been recommended. OF late, since physicians
have become aware that Port Grape Wine
produced by Alfred Speer, Of Passaic, n, j.,
il strictly pure thay have prescribed it in
stead OF ale and porter, This wine is prin-
cipally sough for by mothers who have nur-
sing infants as the best supply medium to be
found. The wine is rich in body and not in
toxcating but gently stimulating, Druggists
generally keep it, and sell it for dollar Il
bottle. .-Iaigalrer

A most daring burglary was committed
on Sunday evening last, at the residence OF
Mr. A. w, Fry, on Third street. The iaml-
ly went to church, and on their return dis
covered that the back kitchen door was un-
locked, but thought little of it until Mon
day, when they missed two cans of lard each
containing about fifty pounds. Upon closer
summation it was found that window IN
the back part of the house had been opened,
and lot of apples had been taken with the
lard. Some near neighbors saw light IN
ihe house, but paid no attention to it, sup
losing that some members Of Mr. fry's lam
lly had remained at home, A singular part
OF the transaction is the fact that lot OF
fresh meat in the cellar near the lard was
untouched No positive clue to the perpe'

There are thirty different makes of sewing
machines now in the market, and each one is re
commended by local or travelling agents as being
far superior to all OILERS. Many of them will
work for few months but the only machine
that has been tested, during the last twenty-five
years, on great variety of work by fifteen hun
dred thousand families, is the SINGER These
machines will run fifty years without getting out
of order and are found in daily use to be as
represented, the most simple, perfect, and dura-
Bile machine ever invented. They are now fast
superscding all others, as shown by the fact
that their sales are two thousand eight hundred
more a week, than those Of any other machines
in the world, which can only be accounted for
by the superior quality of metal, and excellent
workmanship employed in their construction
There are hundreds Of ladies who are willing
to give certificates in favor of the Singer.

SHOT HIMSELF.

Murray Henry, aged II years, son of Mr.,
A. G. Henry, of this place, accidentally shot
himself last Friday evening with pistol
which he was carrying in his pants pocket
at sthe time. After the shooting, in order
to stop the flow of blood, he filled the wound
with paper. The next morning, his mother
noticing that he limped slightly when walk
ing, inquired as to the cause. Murray re-
piled that his pocket rubbed his leg and
made it sore, When asked to show the
place, and finding that he was no longer
able TO keep the matter secret, he admit
ted that he had shot himself Dr. Geo, Hill
was Immediately sent for who probed the
wound, but owing to the swollen condition
of the leg was unable to find the ball,
This is lesson to Murray, as well as a
warning to other boys who are in the habit
of carrying pistols that ought not soon to be
forgotten, ,-HaghesviNe Ente,PriIe.
