A gentleman who lives upon thu line of
the Narrow Gauge siy- that 4 few days ago
the construction train ran over 3 hOg-cut-
ting it In two. The train was stopped and
the iore-quarter= of the anims! were quickly
holsted aboard, and away il went, the men
thinking, very correctly, III doubt, that no.
body could identify the nInd quarters Of q
hog. In future persons on that road will
do we'll to mark the tail a well a. the ears.
A cow belonging to Mr.. GoOdbreak was

to pay for that COW. The Narrow Gauge
people will not increase the popularity of
their road by such tricks as this.
Mr.. HenrtDaNidson. who live, In Sni-a-bar
township, met with an accident q few days
ago which might have cost him his life. He
was engaged in stacking wheat, and desiring
to get off of the stack did 80 by sliding down
upon one side. Some careless person had
left a fork standing against the stack, tines
the fork caught him As he came down,
both tines penetrating one Of his thighs.
His weight. and the momentum with which
he descended, caused one OF the tines to tear
through the flesh, making 4 terrible cash.
At last accounts his wounds were doing
we'll. Advice Is thrown away on the heed
less. but would il not be just as well for
pitchers TO turn the points of their forks
downward when they leave them? AT least
until this harvest is over in Lafayette county.
