AcclDEHT.-On Wednesday last, Shlr
Bolendcr and several others went 10
Shade Mountain to cut saw-logS ON Il
tract of land belonging to the Sheriff
Mr.. BClender was fclling n tree, which
when falling struck dead Chestnut
tree, breaking oil two large limbs one
of which struck him on the top of the
head, causing painful wound and
fracturing the skull. John Ste,tler who
witnessed the affair went To his asss-
tance. He soon became conscious and
was taken to Weller's and Doctors
Shindei and Rpckafeller summoned to
dress the wound. Later in the day he
was brought home and is getting along
rs well rs can be expected.
BURNED TO DEATH. On Friday morn
ing last about 2 o'clock, two children
We're burned to death and Il third will
probably die from the injuries. The
facts rs we learned them are as follows:
Adam Gotsleben, German, his wife
and five children comprised the family
and resided in Union township, this
county. They had filed the oven of
the cook-stove with wood which some
time during the night ignited setting
fire to the house. The inmates were
not aroused until the house was all
ablaze aud al avenues of escape cut
oil. Two OF the children were saved by
Icing thrown from II second story win
dow, The appalling character of this
sad affair has created widespread
sympathy for the poor German and tho
survivors.
