papers of last week:
On Thursday last terrible accident
happened to Joseph Dobbs, at a lime
kiln at Greene Spring, about four miles
from Newville. 1t seems that he had
been drawing some sixty or seventy
bushels of lime and the kiln did not work
quite right--it " choked''-and he, in
order to settle it down, got on the top
with sledge hammer and commenced
pounding the stone, when it sunk down
and he along with it. He was buried in
the burning kiln up to his hips. He
cried for help, when two men went to
help him, but he was in so tightly that
they could do nothing for him. About
twenty minutes had passed around until
more help came, he having been in the
fiery furnace all that time, praying for
help for Gods sake. His wife and two
children were present and talked with
him, but could not help him, he repeat
ing, "must die such a death ?" and
praying for God to take his SOUL At last
they pulled him out, but he lived only
about five minutes. He was burned ter
ribly. The flesh pulled off his legs and
arms and his hair and clothes were burn
ed off. He was a man of good character
forty some years of age and leaves a wife
and two children.
X On Tuesday of last week, Officer
Wetzel arrested two young men from
Perry county, named respectively Wolf
and Biestline, who were charged by
Wills. Gill, of Silver Spring, with hav-
ing shot at him while coming from re-
ligious meeting at Donleystown, Middle
sex township. The accused entered bail
for their appearance at Court.
On Sunday last a sixteen year old son
of Mr.. Henry Mentzer, of Newton,
(Newville) went down to the Ahl farm,
east of town, to take swing. When at
great height he fell to the ground, and
was so severely stunned as to be entirely
unconscious. He is still in most crit
ical condition, and but little hope of his
recovery is INDUCED in.
A barn belonging to Mr. Mentzer, of
Frankford township, near Bloserville,
was struck by lightning on Sunday
afternoon last, and burned TO the ground.
Mr. Mentzer saved the horses by active
effort, although his face was scorched
as he removed the last one, and in less
than minute the barn fell in.
