Something NeW---An Imported
Iscmedy.-.6Ianna Indica.

This wonderful preparation, known by the
above title, which has attained such celebrity
during the last few years in all parts of the
United States as a POSITIVE CURE FOR Cox
SUMPTION, BRoNCHITAs and ASTHMA, can now
be obtained at all first-class druggists. We
have made permanent arrangements IN CAL
CUTTA, INDIA, for obtaining ''PUPE HEMP" "
and having it extracted upon its own soil (the
climate in America being too changeable to
extract large quantities free from mildew. }
These remedies are now prepared from the
best Hemp, gathered at the right season, and
extracted during midsummer in Calcutta
There is not single symptom of CoNsUMP-
TIoN that it does not dissipate, and it will
break fresh cold in twenty-four hours. One
bottle will satisfy the most skeptical. So. so
per bottle, or three bottles for $3.50.
As this is an imported article, we do not
commission our remedies, but will be pleased
to make Cash agents everywhere. Address,

LAST week we made brief allusion to a dis
tresSing accident which occurred on the 4th,
at Barnesville, resulting in the death of Joseph
Wilky, boy thirteen years old. The Enter
prise gives a more extended and correct re-
port of the affair, as follows:
Thinking to add something to the .pictur-
esque scene, outside the programme furnished
by the official committees, Mr. Thomas Rodg-
ers, one of our best known citizens, had pro-
cured some chlorate of potash, white sugar
and gunpowder, and rolled and stirred the
potash and sugar into a finely granuated mix
ture, for the purpose of making blue light.
As receptacle for it he got piece of inch
and a half gas tube about eight feet long,
stuffed some paper tightly into the tube about
eight inches from one end, and filled the space
with alternate layers of the mixtures and the
gunpowder, thus bringing in contact, unwit-
tingly, the very elements necessary for most
terrific explosion chlorate of potash at a GER
tain temperature, or in contact with sulphur,
being one of the most powerful explosives
known. Gunpowder furnished both these
clements, while the confinement of the tube
added materially to the force of the explosion
Several abortive attempts were made to set it
OFF by means of match of flax and other
methods, while the tube was resting in the
frame where the rockets were sent off, but
failing in this, Chinese cracker was lighted
and dropped into the end of the tube, fuse
downwards, by Mr.. Rodgers while he was
holding it in his other hand. The explosion
of the cracker was the last thing necessary to
combine the collected materials in a most ter
rifle explosion, both as to loudness of the re-
port and the fearful result The shock was
great and the impression at once prevailed
that an accident had occurred, but no outcry
being made for some time, the feeling of
dread was gradually subsiding, when a boy
announced that he bad been hit with piece
of broken gas pipe, which die not hurt him
much, and which he picked up and showed to
others. Those nearer the scene, however,
were soon made to realize the fearful power
of this miniature engine of destruction. Dr.
Kemp, who was standing near, wss knocked
down by the explosion, but received no
special injury. Mr.. Rodgers was wounded in
the foot, but not severely. A son of Jesse
Starbuck was knocked down by piece of the
flying tube striking him on the left arm and
cutting his clothes across his breast but pro-
ducing no injury further than a severe brriise
Several other parties were lifted from their
feet and severely shaken up. Something like
twenty feet from the spot was this little boy
standing, who was found lying in the street
after the explosion, mangled in a most fearful
manner. lie was carried to the pavement and
a light procured, when it was found that his
lower jaw had been nearly carried away, and
the front part of his neck cut through with
horrid looking wound. The poor fellow gave
a few gasps, and was dead in two minutes,
perhaps.

The NarrOw-Gauge.

Persons who have been skeptical regarding
the final success of the Marrow Gauge from
this place, to Neff s Siding, on the Central
Ohio Railroad, will be surprised to learn that
the Directors of the Company have contract
ed for the building of the road 81 miles in
length, to be completed not sooner than the
first of November, nor later than January 1st.
Our railroad men have made but little noise or
display, but have quietly and persistently Ia
bored with the people to raise the amount
necessary for the construction of the road, and
have so far succeeded as to warrant them in
placing it under contract. The contract has
been let to Mr.. r. D. Walsh, who has had
large experience in railroading, having CON-
pleted large contracts ON the Union Pacific,
and various railroads in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and other points. The contract is very
favorable to the company, and we consider at
exceedingly low rates. 1t provides that the
contractor shall grade, bridge, level, set ties,
and lay rail, ready for the rolling stock, for
s., 9,00O-two-thirds Of which, or $4,000, to be
paid in cash, and 1000 in bonds of the road,
to be paid in three instalments of 81, 200 in
cash. and 81 900 in bonds, each The first
payment, less 20 per cent of the cost, is to be
paid when the Engineer of the Company de-
cides that one full third of the work is COM
pleted. The last payment and 90 per cent of
the first two payments is to be withheld until
the entire line is completed and accepted by
the Engineer of the Company. The Compa-
ny is to furnish contractor with a locomo-
tive and car for laying track, and is to deliver
the iron at its junction with the Central Ohio,
and the ties at convenient points on the line
Mr.. Walsh has a gang of men at work on til
junction end, and in few days will place ii
gang at this end of the line and one in the
middle. The work will be pushed vigorously,
and by the first of January at farthest, our
people may expect to take ride over the line
Let us hope that the completion of this road
will mark new era in the history of this staid
old town. 1t undoubtedly will, provided the
people advaHce in the spirit of enterprise in
proportion to the facilities afforded
