An Incident and It's Moral.

One day quite early this week,
might be seen a single horse and light
farm buggy with its two occupants,
entering the eastern end Of town.
Steadily at o good round jog they
came on through the principal street
which, they both remarked, seemed
unusually dull for the leading business
day of the week. Arriving in front
of Messrs. E. and BIS store they drew
rein, and the gentleman occupant
alighted from the buggy upon the
side-walk As he did so the strange
appearance of the things struck him
so forcibly that he observed to gen.
tlemanly-looking lounger, "Why
how is thi.,-Messrs. E. and B.
grown so rich as to close at half-past
four on Saturday &? Gentlemanly
lounger, -"Why, no, not 'zactly that ;
but Messrs. E. and b. and, in fact,
believe, all the stores in Platteville,
close all day on Sundays" With
this piece Of information the church
going and noted Sabbatarlan gentle
man very hastily retook his seat in
the buggy, concluding he'd sell his
butter some other day, and was seen
at full speed leaving the village.
Once when was quite small boy
Baptist preacher stopping at my
mothers house, (my mothers being
headquarters for all the Baptist
preachers "of that region and all the
country around about Thereof was
telling what great ignorance he, as
missionary, had found on the frontier;
one woman had not heard that Jesus
was cruciied, was much concerned tc
know, when. where, and by whom it
had been done saying she had
soften asked Jacob to take an alma
nae that they might know something
but Jacob wouldn't"
Moral of the above incident
Jacob should take an Almanac.

THE CENTENNIAL.
The Farmers Tina for Recreatl on

Now, that the summer crops will soon be
gathered, and our farmers everywhere are
happy over the abundant harvest, together
with the fact that the demand for agricultural
products viii be great enough to realize good
return in the market, it is well that those of
our friends who intend visiting the Centennial
have their attention brought to the best and
most economical means of reaching the Exhi-
bition now being held to commemorate our
Tooth Anniversary as Nation.
Undoubtedly greater facilities are now af-
forded by the Great TT. Wayne Il Pennsylvania
Line for reaching the GATEWAY OF THE
CENTENNIAL GROUNDS, than is in the
power of any rival to offer; while for conven-
fence, comfort and economy, none can dispute
the fact that it is the most deirable, shortest
and quickest route to the Centennial depot;
in the immediate neighborhood OF good hotels
whose prices range from two to four dollars
per day, and within FIVE minutes walk of the
Main Entrance. thus saving to the visitor the
cost and annoyance of transfer incident to
other lines.
Mot the least attractive TO our farmer friends
will be the Encampment of the National
Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, at Elm
Station, near the Centennial Grounds, on the
line of this road, where ample accommodations
have beck provided for agriculturi.ts, at the
moderate price of two dollars per day. Ar
rangements have been perfected by this line
by which Centennial tickets to Philadelphia or
New York and return, good for sixty days
can be obtained at any coupon ticket office 10

A RAILROAD WRECK AND EscAPE.-
Mr.. Alanson Morrell, of the Hurricane,
and Mr. Jas. l.. Woodruff, OF Bloom
ington, were lately east on centen-
NAL trip. They visited their friends in
Chautauqua county, N. Y. and in
that county on the Lake Shore Rail-
road, met with perilous adventure.
The train of cars on which they were
riding, consisting of locomotive,
baggage car, mail car, express car and
four coaches, ran off the track and
down an embankment thirty feet
high, the whole train landing bottom
side up and totally wrecked. AL
though railroad men pronounced il
the worst looking wreck they ever
saw there was but one person seriosly
injured, Mr.. Morrell and Mr.. w God
ruff having no hurt worth naming
The paper from which we copy says
it is a miracle that half the passen
gers were not instantly killed.

A Sad Fatality.


We are called upon to write o
painful record. The loss of a rela.
tive or friend is always painful to
those the departed leaves behind
But when death comes entirely
unexpected and takes from life q
youth who till the moment he is
called is in the bloom of health, the
prido of mother, OF brothers and
sisters and companions, the pain is
intensified. On last Friday morning
little Charles Frank elise was in the
enjoyment of hoalth and cheer.
With the permission OF his mother
he went four miles into the country,
to Mr. Ed. Borah's 10 gather apples.
This he did that day and remained
there the following night. The next
morning be took shotgun which
stood 10 8 bed room aud went hunt
ing. He killed squirrel and took
it to his grandmother at Mr.. Pitt
Cox's. Thence he went back TO Mr..
Borah's and was allowed TO go to the
barn to shoot tame pigeons. As he
went out through the large farm
gate the fatality occurred
While holding the gun near the
muzzls and the gate pin in one hand
and attempting TO move tho heavy
gate against the hammer of the gun,
causing its discharge. The shot
entered the right side of his face
under the outer corner of the eye
and took "a direction towards the
top and back part of hs head. 1t
blew off q large piece of the skull
and scattered a portion of his brains.
He lived about an hour but recog-
nized no one. This happened at
about IL o'clock on Saturday morn
ing. The body was brought Co his
mothers where Tho funeral ceremon-
ies were witnessed by largo
assembly of friends Of the family on
Sunday afternoon Mrs. elise and
family have the heartfelt sympathy
OF the whole community. Charley
was good boy and greatly loved.
His loss-such loss-is very hard
for loving mother 80 bear. He
diod at the age of ID years and 10
months. He was brother>in-law of
the editor of this paper.

THE BRIDGES IN LANCASTER. The
two bridges in Gregory hollow, one in
Rogers hollow, one near Abner Dy-
ers, one at VIM. Walkers, one at
Cameron crossing, one at Fox's mill
and one at Gray's mill, all in the town
oil Lancaster, were all carried away
by the late flood. Mr.. Ryland in
forms us that he with other Super
visors, visited the several ruins and
that as soon as possible the bridges
will be replaced The first three
named will be repaired at once For
the present it is the intention to get
together two of the last three named
and put one up at Fox's. II Masons
can be found possibly the one at
Gray's may be rebuilt. The abut-
ments Of the Dyer bridge stand un-
injured although the flood was three
feet above them and the bridge was
carried three miles down the river.
The other bridges appear to have been
put down in way to make the most
money for the contractor and other
thousands of dollars will have to be
expended to replace them.

Peril of the Flood.

During the storm of last Tuesday
night the flood surrounded the house
of Mr.. John Starkert, on little Green
river, in the northern part of this
county, and came rushing in at the
doors and soon drove the family to
the upper story for safety. The
house being log structure, the wa
ter soon began to wash out the low.
or logs and the upper part would
sink into the water till in short
time the water was waist deep in the
chamber. The father and mother
were holding the children in their
arms the father two and the moth
or one. While in this uncomfortable
condition the house parted and the
root fell in and for time held all be-
meath it under water, but as the roof
parted the father succeeded in get
ting on to the roof with his two little
chlldref, then he reached out and
caught the mother and the other
child and helped them on to it. In
the mean time the hired man and
neighbours boy who were in the
chamber, succeeded also in getting
on to the roof, which with the whole
seven commenced its passage rapidly
down stream. After floating about
two and half miles in this terrible
condition the root lodged on the bank
of the river and all OF the crew were
safely landed, but every thing else in
the house was lost. Mr.. Starkert
was poor man but was just getting
a good start in the world, now all is
gone. The school-house in the same
neighborhood was carried about 20
rods down stream and lodged in q
ueighboriDg field PENCIL.
