cd very severe fall He was riding on
the wagon, his son George, = lad some
IL years of ags driving, and In passing
down q hill, the horses commenced to
trot, which led Mr.. II. to jump of the
load in order to apply the brake or lock,
when his foot slipping y fell heavily
TO tho ground, striking his head q severe
blow and one of the wheels of the wagon
passed over one Of his ankles bruislng
il badly, and cutting his toes quite
severely. After one or two efforts he
got upon his fest, and managed to re-.
gain his seat on the wagon, when he
came to this city, delivered his load,
and although suffering great pain, re-
turned to his home. The foot was much
J swollen and it will be some time before
he will b. able TO walk upon 1t very
readily. II is fortunate indeed that the
ankle was not broken and the foot more
seriously injured by such heavy
weight passing over 1t.
Lecture to the Teachers.
The teachers Of the public schools Of
this city have again arranged for a
course of educational lectures before
their institute. By contributions among
themselves they have raised a fund
which they hope will be sufficient to
pay the expensrs OF five good lectures

will be upon English literature, and it
will be given in school house No. /,
commencing at 4o'clock this afternoon.
This lecture will be delivered by Wal
lace Bruce, of Poughkerpsie, N. Y.

ing to previous engagements to lecture
in Brooklyn last evening, and in West
Chester on Thursday. Mr.. Bruce was
able 10 favor our teachers with his lee
ture this afternoon. Mr.. Bruce speaks
without notes. Col. Homer B. Sprague,
master of the girls high school in Bos-
ton, says that his lectures on "Shakes-
peare," "Scott ami Giving" are
without a rival on the American plat

Lady Killed ny Hair Dye.
A few days since middle-aged lady,
living in the suburb, of Springfield,
Ohio, died from some mysterious disease
located in the head. The symptoms
had long been manifested, but no treat
ment seemed to have permanent effect.
After death there was an examination
made, in which Cincinnati physicians
took part, and which resulted in the
unanimous decision that death was caus-
ed, primarily, by the use, for long
period, of chemical compounds for dye
ing the hair. There is said to have been
coating formed over the brain, causing
something like paralysis of that organ.
