county, was injured. on Tuesday afternoon,
quite severely. AS he was sliding from the
top of load of hay, he caught upon a
sharp spike upon some portion of the truck,
cutting him quite severely i'll the lower
part of the body. Dir. Ellis dressed his
wounds and he is doing well.
MIR. Arthur Mullen, a resident of Fair
Hill, was quite seriously injured, on Satur-
day last He was using horse rake, and
the horse becoming frightened, knocked
Mr.. Mullen down and dragged the machine
over him. lie was most injured about the
head, where he received a number of fear
full gashes. The injury is not considered
dangerous, however, and it is thought he
will soon be well.
An attempt was made, on Monday
night last, to effect an entrance into the
hardware store of 5. 5. Rlmbo, Esq, on
Main street, by forcing open the front door.
The marks of the tools used were plainly
visible upon the door. The burglars must
have been startled by something, as they
left without etfecting their purpose. On
the same night, the shop at Mr.. Strickland 5
marble yard was entered, and all the best
tools carried off. Evidently some one
wanted hardware.
&c Oh for an iceberg to climb up and ride;
Oh for a snow bank wherein we may hide;
Oh for swim in the boreal seas;
Oh for SpitZbergen' most northerly breeze;
Oh for the mercury forty below;
Oh for all these things; and then, again, oh
For a trip on a comet, away from the sun.
Not to come back till the Summer is done;
Oh for hurricane, whirlwind, typhoon;
Oh for the whole of them, oh very soon;
Oh for mighty parade of cyclones;
Oh for the power to sit IN our bones,
The marrow removed and the breeze whist

Oh, Sidney Smith, can that story be true?
Oh-but we're wasting our breath with
these obs:
So We'll wipe off our forehead and gush-

Mr.. Jacob B. Ash. of this town, met
with an accident, on Tuesday night last
from which it is wonderful he escaped with =
out serious injury. He was driving towards
town. on the Cowantown road, at the time
when the terrific thunder storm of that
evening was at it's heighth. When he had
reached point about mile and half
from town, his horse frightened by the
binding flashes of lightning and the peals
of thunder, became unmanageabe and

In this position the horse plunged and
struggled until exhausted. Mr.. Ash's calls
for help were answered by Mr.. Joseph p
McNeal and Augustus Howell, who, with
the aid of horses, dragged Mr.. Ash's horse
out of its perlous position. The only real
damage done was the demolishing of the
carriage.
The fireworks, which, on account Of
the storm, were not displayed on the even
ing of the 4th, were let off on the depot
lot, on Friday evening of last week. Quite
a crowd collected to witness the show,
numering perhaps, in all, five hundred per
sons The fireworks, which is no fault Of
the committee having the matter in charge,
were failure; they were a poor, damaged
lot, that fixed, snapped and banged for a
time, and then all was over. The set pieces
were mostly so firmly set, that all the fire
that could be applied to them, could not
unseat them; 1916 and 1876 showed out
one figure at time, and the net result was
variously figured out by different parties as
:, II, II, T. 1860, Y, etc, The parties
furnishing these goods should be compelled
to disgorge about swo-thirds of the price
paid for them.
