The best railroad stock in the Uni
ted States can be bought at greatly de-
preciated prices, SO, unless you wish to
give money away do not allow men to
talk you into subscribing to concern
about which there is not even shadow
of a probability of success. This gen.
Grafton, certain y, should be satisfied
with the amount of swindles, that have
been gotten off on it, by parties that
had no ooject further than TO start
corporation, and make money on its pa
per by beguiling greenhorns to buy it.
Rev. Mr.. McGill, of McCoyville
while at his barn few days ago, saw
cupperhead snake pass under barn
door, About half the length of the snake
had already passed under the door,
fearing it would escape into the straw in
the barn, and having nothing TO stop
its progress, he seized it by the tail to
draw it out that he might the better be
able to kill it; but the snake resented
the grasp on its tail, by swinging its
head back and sinking its fangs into the
hand of the Reverend gentleman. MIR.
McGIll has suffered great deal from
the bite, but at last accounts his health
had improved.
On Saturday a week, a son of Wm.
Guss of Licking Creek valley, was
riding a horse that was drawing cart
load of stones from field sud
denly, the cart was upset on a hill Side
The cart in its roll down the hill threw
the horse and rolled him over the boy.
How the boy who is about 8 years of
age escaped with his life is wonder,
he did escape with his life, but had the
right side of his collar bone broken and
received a number of bruises. About
ten DAYS previous to the cart accident
a brother to the boy mentioned fell
from the "over head' in the barn
down to the threshing floor and there
by broke an arm.
Everything in the country except
agriculture is on the decline, certificates
of stocks. of railroads, and other enter
prises can be bought by the bushel for
a small SUN of money and all business
is falling back on agriculture to back it
up, such being the case the vitality OF
county agricultural fairs may be expec
ted to increase many degrees. Every
body will feel like doing something for
the agricultural industry, upon which
the country in its dire financial distress
falls for substantial help. Reed premium
list of Riverside Park aud Agricultural
Society Fair and when the time for
exhibition comes, have something to
exhibit.
