The new house on Park street belong
ing to Orange MOsman is nearly CON-
pleted, and will add another neat, con-
venient and pleasant residence to that
street. Edward Barnard did the wood
work by the job, and the tasty and
workmanlike manner in which it is done
is credit to the workman.
AS Rev. J. Wallace was going to
attend a meeting at the Heath district
one week ago yesterday, he was hit in
the eye by some swift flying substance,
or by hornet, with such force as to
almost knock him down. He suffered

nearly week by it.
John l.. Woodman Esq. met with a
severe accident on Monday last, which
caused the dislocation of a wrist and
the fracture of bone in his arm. He
was crossing the street near his house,
Just at the time when several teams
were passing and was knocked down and
run over by horse that was approach
ing behind him. Neither Mr.. Wood
man or the driver saw the danger in
time to prevent the accident. He has
the sympathy of the entire community
in this misfortune.
Arthur Ozier, young mechanic
who has worked in the Percival g. For
saith shop for the last two years, has
made tobacconist's sign for young
Rothchilds that is really a very curious
and skillful piece of workmanship. 1t
is small wooden Indian with his hand
full of cigars, and is as perfect a repre-
sentation of the red man as one will
often see. Young Ozier has had no par
ticular opportunity to practice in the art
of carving, or in making Indians, but
we venture the assertion that not one
man in thousand can make as natural
a representation of the Indian as he has
in this first attempt. Look at the sign.

lup was burned with all its contents
together with the boarding house, $50,
900 single and $4,000 feet of lumbe
