We regret TO learn that Gil. Bugh met
with a very unfortunate accident near Pitts
burgh, a few days since. It is reported that
he fell between two cars Of running train
and had an arm severed from his body.
Have not received the particulars of the
sad affair, but hope the present report is an
exaggeration Of his real condition.

The peace and quiet Of our town, Oh last
Saturday morning, were again disturbed
and put in an agitated condition by the
alarm Of FIRE. Somerset has just and sufi-
cient cause to tremble when the cry Of "hre''
is echoed through her defenceless streets.
Time and time again she has suffered Sc
verely, almost on the verge Of destruction,
and still our means of meeting this deyour-
ing element, fall far short of what they
should be. We have good and ample ma
terial to form company that would rem
der our town comparatively safe, if they
had suitable engine with which to work
Why not move in this matter before the ex
| perience of last August revisIts us?
