A FRIGHTFUL runaway occurred on
Main street Tuesday afternoon. n
spirited horse hitched to buggy in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Z. b. Babcock
were seated, became frightened at a
peddler's wagon near the. Exchange
building and, starting on run, dashed
across the street In front of Brainerd' S
Drug Store where the vehicle came in
contact with hitching post and Mrs.
b. was violently thrown out upon the
stone pavement. Though somewhat
bruised, it is thought her injuries are
not of serious nature. The horse
here got free from the carriage and
after running a few rods turned
around and calmly viewed the mis-
chief it had wrought. In short time
the animal was again hitched up and
Mr.. B. and lady proceeded on their
journey home.

BRIMFIELD,

| Correspondence. -=@.- ~
There has been some change in the
affairs of our town within the past
two weeks. The principle topic OF
conversation at the present time is
the failure of Mr.. Elias Hickman,
about which there. are a great many
different stories. Had not the Boston
fire gnawed hole in the vital parts,
or had he not met with bad luck, Mr..
Hickman would, no doubt, have been
in tolerabe circumstances. We regret
very much TO learn of this failure, but
all are subject to miffortune. The
liabilities are about $4,000, and the
assets may be estimated at about ST.
600. Quite failure for little town
like this.
Mr.. Charles Ayliff and I. d. Birthalf
have bought out the heirs of the David
Boszor estate, including 46 scres of
land one mile north of the Center.
Mr.. Daniel Cellars has purchased a
house and lot at the Center, the prop
erty of Mrs. Electa Jones; considera-
tion 1880.
Mr.. Joseph Koone died at his late
residence in Brimfield, on Friday last
after long illness, aged 66 years.

AN ELEGANT EsTABLIsHMENT.-A
few days ago, while in Cleveland we
had occasion to call at the new quar-
tiers of Messrs. S. III. Benedict Il Co.,
dealers in Hats, Caps, Straw Goods
and furs, They have recently removed
from their old quarters on Water
street to the new and elegant Ioyt
block, corner of Bank and st. Clair
streets, and have a suit of the finest
store rooms In the Forest City, il not
in the State, occupying three floors OF
the building. They have the most ex-
tepsjye stock of goods in their line to
be found in the West, and the propri-
etOrs and all the employees Of the
house arc enterprising and accom~o:
dating gentlemen.

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
ccstiveness, heartburn, water-brasb,
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, BELDING &
ARMsTRTNG, and get sample bottle
for 10 cents and try it. Regular size
IS cents.

The Pronouncer and Spoilers will
be governed by the following rules:
l. All words are to be pronounced
with distinctness sufficient to be un-
derstood by the spoilers.
2. Each speller will first pronounce
the word given him to spell, then spell
it, then finish by pronouncing it again.
Failure to pronounce word, if cor
rect in orthography,will not, however,
be called a mistake.
3. But one trial will be given on a
word TO any speller.
4. Definitions will be given by the
pronouncer of such words as have the
same pronunciation but different Or
biography.
5. Amy speller may appeal to Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionary for the
the pronunciation and photography of
words, and its decision shall be final.
