LEG BRoKEN.-James Burns, in the
employ Of the Illinois Central Railroad,
while unloading some bridge timbers
from car at the depot, last Monday,
had his leg broken just above the ankle,
by one of the heavy timbers falling up
on him. 1t is to be considered fortunate
that the injury was not greater, as the
timber was very heavy, and would un-
doubtedly have crushed him, had it fall

CARL PAIL, the musician, formerly
of this city, who was so seriously injur-
ed in the accident on the Central Rail
road of Iowa, near Hampton, two or
three years since, seems to be having a
good deal of trouble and vexation in
getting justice from the company. His
suit in the United States Circuit Court
has just been for the second or third
time continued, until May next, in spite
of the efforts of his counsel, Col. A. T.
Reeve, of Hampton, who spent nearly q
month in Des Moines endeavoring to
bring it to trial. We CLEAN the facts
from the Chronicle.

janitor and sexton of St. James church,
if it were not for the well known modes

is one of the the vestry, also, and when
the question of economy was being dis

The proposition was unexpected popu-

WE would call the especial attention
of the members of the Board of Super
visors of our county to the circular sent
out by the Clinton county board, and
printed on the second page of this issue,
in regard to reform in county government.
The suggestions therein contained refer
to abuses and imperfections that are con-
stantly becoming more burdensome and
irritating, and for the reform of which
there is an imperative public demand.
The BULLETIN has already given voice
to this demand that some action by the
Legislature be taken to lessen the cost
of the administration of justice in our
courts, and to prevent them from be-
coming the instruments Of petty malice.
The response from the press shows that
the public mind is stirred on this point,
and now if cooperation by the county
boards of the State can be secured, the
reforms asked for will be be pretty GER
tain of accomplishment.
