make it effectual, then shall we see the put

This disease, like a wave. seems to have
rolled over this community, this winter,
and seized upon the most healthy and
strong. The disease has been very danger
Gus. but has proved fatal in few cases.
On the 18th inst, of intermittent fever,
Mrs. Templeton departed this life. She
had nearly attained her S0th year. Also,
on the 21st inst, John Neasey, after an i'll
ness of several months.
ACCIDENT.
Harry Knock boy eleven years old, a
short time ago, returned from school and
finding his parents absent began handling
a gun, for which Ne displayed great fond
ness when mele babe. drawing on the
cover, caused the discharge of the gun,
which blew off one finger and injured
another badly and wounded other parts of
his hand severely. He then ran to 4 neigh
boris, who kindly cared for him until the
doctor and parents could be brought. The
Centennial year has been remarkable for
accidents in this vicinity, which, from a
description. would seem slight, but gave
great pain to the sufferers.
PEACH CROP.
There is great ground for fears that the
recent cold spell has injured the peaches to
some extent.

ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE.- Bowers,
prisoner confined in the Elkton Jail
awaiting his trial for burglary. made his
escape by the old route-via the windows
to the top of the wall, and then down that
safe conductor, the lightning rod, to the
gronnd-on Tuesday morning last. His
flight was discovered very soon after 1t
began, and chase given; but he outran his
pursuers, and was lost in a neighborng
wood. Officer White supposing he would
endeavor to make his way to Wilmington,
proceeded to Stanton and procured the ser
vices OF officers there to look out for him:
a reward was offered for his arrest. Dur
ing the afternoon, he was overhauled and
captured by Mr.. Russell, station master at
Stanton, and returned to Jail. Bowers says
ne did his level best at running during that
chase, and made leaps over fences and
bitches such as nothing short of the
energy of desperation could nerve a man
to undertake. And now, the Jail must be
made secure, or he will have it all to do
over again.
