MANCHESTER ITEMs.-Charles Hussman,
aged about 9 years, son OF Charles +. W.:
Hussman, received a compound fracture of
his left arm by fall from horse, on We'd
nesday evening of last week. A horse belong
ing to Mr.. C. F. Bergman was grazing, and
being very gentle animal, and having hal
ter on, the boy caught him and managed to
get on his back. The animal returned to
grazing and drew the lad down by the halter
strap, of which he had hold, until he lost his
equilibrium and fell to the ground, breaking
his left arm at two places near the elbow. DR..
]. +. B. Weaver reduced the fracture.
On Thursday of last week, the bank in a
pit in A. Greider's section of the Baltimore
and Hanover railroad, near Mr.. George Sim
per's farm, caved in very suddenly, covering
one man entirely and another up to the head.
Mr. Greider and G. Buchanan set to work
Immediately to release John Deitz, who was
entirely covered, from his untimely grave, and
fortunately they reached his head in few
minutes, but it took about twenty minutes to
get him out as there was about four feet OF
ground on him. He was slightly bruised and
felt the effects of the pressure of the ground,
but was not seriously injured. The other
man, an Irishman, whose name L have not
learned, escaped with badly sprained ankle.
DIR. T. A. Shower rendered the necessary
attendance.

The weather in Scotland continues of
the most extraordinarydescription for June.
Rain falls almost necessarily, accompanied
by cold easterly wind. A thunderstorm,
with snow and hail passed over Forfar and
adjacent counties on June IL. 1t was of
exceptional violence at Lundie, near Dun
dee. A meal mill, situated in hollow
ground, was almost blocked up with snow,
and several cart loads were removed before
an entrance could be effected. Dwelling
houses and fields were flooded to depth
of over two feet, and the crops have suf-
fered severely, being covered by debris
washed from the hills. Not for very many
years has the weather in June been so
unsettled and unreasonable.
