Mrs. Corey, an elderly lady, who resides in
this village with her daughter, Mrs. Grant
Tuttle, met with very distressing accident
one morning this week. just before daylight
she got up from her bed and started to go into
another room, but made misstep and fell
down stairs, her whole weight coming upon
her feet, bruisng them terribly. The doctor
thinks no bones we're broken, but she is per-
fectly helpless, being unable to move without
assistance. About two months ago, while in
Missouri, Mrs. Corey was thrown from wagon
and one Of her wrists broken, and few weeks
after during visit to her son in Iowa, she fell
down fight Of steps, receiving internal in
juries from which she had not fully recovered
when this last accident occurred. II Is to be
hoped that her injuries will not prove to be Of
a very serious nature.

We commend to the perusal OF our merchants
the following sensible advice from the Grand
Rapids Post:
Merchants fearful OF rush during July and
August should keep their prices up to the point
which prevailed earlier In the season. II this
does not succeed they should take down their
sgns from the door and seat their clerks on
the stools In front OF the counter. AS q last
resort let them take their advertisements out
Of the papers and we viii guarantee their leis-
ure will not he interfered with. II, however.
they prefer to cary over no summer goods, to
got for them now, let them reduce their prices
to about cost, put an announcement to that
effect In the papers and redouble their efforts
IN every direction to keep trade moving. The
merchant who rests idly on his oars five months
in the year Is sure to starve-and we are tempt
ed to say, ought to. Watch the merchants in
this city who are known to be making money
and see il they do that way.
