Mr.. Casper Krach, living the county road
near Putty Hill, was returning from Baltimore
and after crossing the Herring Run bridge he at
tempted to get out of the wagon when the mule he
was driving turned suddenly around knocking him
down, the wagon running over his legs, greatly
bruisng them. The mule ran into the Herring
Run woods and into the stone quarry which has
been worked all summer. Nothing about the
wagon was broken nor the mule injured
which was thought strange when he jumped down
embankment nearly feet high, wagon and
all.
The Herring Run hill has at last been put in
good order by the Company. Broken stone has
been put down about four inches thick and then
covered with gravel. Many thanks to the mana
gers of the road.
We have had nine weddings this month with a
fair prospect of many more before the winter

early in September, when it again blossomed and
these apples were picked from it on the 22d day

tree, all about the size of small hickory nuts.
This is thought to be very unusual thing.
