Mr.. G. ii. Wills met with very severe acct
dent last Thursday lie was at work in his mill
and was in the act Of going below to remove a
belt when he fell about twelve feet striking his
head, cutting it badly and stunning him. 1t is
supposed that he laid where he fell about an
hour. When found he was bleeding at the mouth
and nose, and for twelve hours after he raved in
delirium, bat he is now getting along quite we'll.
We have had some pugilistic encounters at the
village lately-two cases the past week--but it is
hoped that there arc no more such ca3cs in store
for US.
The ca.eIpiilars are dead and gone-peace to
their ashes Some say they starved to death. We
sincerely hope they did. They stripped most all
of the apple trees so that we shall get bat very
few apples this year. Our other crops look first
te,-corn the best color that is very often seen
grass crop better than usual grain also good.
Last Sunday the Reform Club of Vienna village
with delegation from Mt. Vernon, held a meet

dience, and some very good speaking was had,
the following gentlemen being speakers DIR.

Gents. You may perhaps remember that wrote
you several weeks ago in regard to the use of the
Peruvian Syrup for my wife, who suffering
from general debility, the sequence of Typhoid
Dysentary. | had tried the most noted physicians
in this State, and also in Canada, without relief.
At your recommendation she commenced the use
of the Syrup the first four bottles made but little
impression, but while taking the fifth she began to
improve rapidly, and now after using six of the
dollar bottles she has regained her strength, and
is able to do most Of the work about the house :;
and feel that cannot speak too highly in praise
of the Peruvian Syrup. l have prescibed it to sew
era of my patients, and have procured the sale of
several dozen bottles of it here. You can make
any use of this letter you see fit.
Yours very truly, IL. ID. BELDEN, NJ u.
