that man named Smeeder, member of
the new brewery firm which recently com
mencel opera ton at GallitZin, was knocked
down, run over and almost instantly killed
Ivy the local freight train at that point on
Tuesday evening last. Mr., Smeeder, who

standing on the track near the depot and
failed to notice the approach of number of
cars comprising a portion of said train,

The boot and shoe shop of Judge Thom~

week through a window at the side of the

or shoe-ee either: and were it not that be
ransacked the desk and scattered the papers
heter-skelter over the counter. the Judge
might possibly have never discovered thai

premises.

We regret to note the fact that the ex-
cellent wife of Daniel Mclaughlin, Esq, of
Johnstowu, whom we have had the pleasure
of knowing from earliest childhood, lad the
misfortune to fall down a fight of stairs
about 2 o'clock on Tuesday morning of last
week, receiving severe cut on the head
and being otherwise bruised and injured
quite painfully. The unfortunate lady was
on her way to the room occupied by her
children, one of whom. we helieve, was not
very we'll, and as she was probably no. fully
awake at the time she uuconsciously made a
misstep, with the sad result stated.
