MANTUA STATION.

The friends of H. G.. Goodman will
be panied to learn that he met with a
severe accident on Thursday last, oc-
casioned by the discharge of revolver
he was exhibiting. and which he was
unaware contained a cartridge. The
ball entered the inner surface of the
left hand near the base of the index
finger and, traversing the intervening
space, lodged near the METACARPAL
bone of the little finger. The ball was
extracted by DIR. J. NJ. Crafts, without
serious injury to the adjacent nerves
and blood vessels, and the wounded
member, though considerably swollen
and painful, is in a fair way TO recover.
While we sincerely sympathise with
Doc" in this unlocked for misfor-
tune, we are glad it is no worse.
On Tuesday last Mr.. Ellison Blair
was hauling a log to the mill of VIM.
A. Smith, and had just crosse the r r.
track where the street rises rather alb
ruptly on account of a heavy deposit of
cinders, when both fore feet of one of his
horses slipped, the animal came to his
knees and Immediately dropped dead.
The horse, though somewhat along in
years, was in fair flesh and was consid-
cred quite servicable. An examina-
CARDIUNI of the heart was filled with
extravasated blood, indicating a rup-
tured blood vessel either from over ex-
ertion or the sudden shock in falling.
The sixth regular dance of the CO.
tillOn Club came off on Thursday
night, aud was in many respects the
most successful one of the season.
Music was furnished by Farr, Lee and
Stow, and the manner in which the
dancers tripped to it showed how thor
ough was their appreciation. The
same orchestra will probably be con-
tinued to the close of the season, which
will be about the middle of April.
On Friday night Mrs. Dr. Beardsley |
at Citizen s Hall to crowded |
house, under the auspices of the Man.
tua Station Grang p. of HI. The SUBJ
ject was "Self Comprehension" but
she Was able to make any of |
her audience comprehend "self COM
prehension" or not we have been un-
able to learn at the present writing. It !
is theme worthy of mastery treat
ment, an we have no doubt the keen
eyed DIR. did the subject justice.
A new painter-a Mr.. Hill-has
moved into town and will work in
Geo. w. Aliens shop. He is said to
De good workman and, if so, is just
he man We need here. He is occupy
ng the Gallagher house near Frost &
FIGURING Mill.
Strange contradictory and many,
10 doubt, untruthful rumors are afioat
the moral and matrimoni-
Il status of our new barber, who occu-
,ies rooms in The. Burnett's building
'ver the livery stable. We were aware
hat so far as his business is concerned,
IS somwhat :" Mixed" consisting of
onsorial operations, billiards, refresh
nents, etc., but we had 10 idea that
NY man in his senses had sufficient
AK moral code to locate in this place
With any "crOOkedness" about his ,
marital relations. It is said that the
sDavers" referred to previously by
s, are no shavers of the tonsorial art
st, but the shavings of some other {
arty, while the supposed wife of his Z
Jsom turn out to be the "sLaver' or +
he "shaved" of some other man. !
he other man" is also credited with ,
ne replevin of some furniture sold,
le claiming and taking away of the
and now the pot, if not with
ute as much in it as common, SIM
lers and bubbles away as usual. Per-
APPS the foregoing is untrue in every
articular, is, in fact, a baseless fabri- a
alton calculated to injure the inncent,
nd if so, we beg to be informed.
