lnSwsEp most distressi6s ie-
cilert occurred opposite Hunting
toh, o. eymme's res Rs
.aitaffiooni i7th, inst. a party Of
nine young lads took q skiff and
Iowed up the creek, approaching a
mill dam. Curiosity prompted them
10 test the power of the waterfall,
and going too far the skiff upset,
precipitating the whole party into
the creek, now very much swollen,
and four of the party were drowned.

Spencer Mitchell, Walter Goodall
and Jesse 1ngham.
Last Wednesday evening Mr.. D.
S. Snyder, Proprietor of the Steam
Tannery, met with quite a serious
accident. lie had prepared Esome
Babbit metal for the purpose of re-
pairing some of the machinery, and
while pouring the hot metal into
moulds, it exploded, and the metal
flew into his face and eyes, burning
both eyes very BADLY, which may
result in the loss of his eye.sight.
lis physician, however, thinks that
it will not injure his sight material
ly. lie has been suffering intense
pain ever since the unfortunate ac-
cidcnt. We hope for his speedy re-
coycry, and no injury to his eyes.
1t seems to us, and our citizens no
doubt endorse us, that our town is
cursed with the worst wharf arrange
mcnt on the Ohio River. The wharf
has slipped, the rock and gravel is
washed from it, leaving the wharf
nothing but one vast sheet of deep
mud -A-goed-deul of attention has
been paid to the streets and pave
ments, while this most important
matter to the town and its citizens,
has been left to take care Of itself,
The Council ought to pay more at
tcn,ion to keeping the wharf in re-
pair, and in pasSablc condition, and
Il little less to the streets. Now chat
the wharf has to be overloaded en-
lircly, we suggest that enough of the
Land butting ON the wharf be pur-
chased so as to lcngthen and widen
the wharf, and to make good and
easy grade to the river.
On last Saturday week, cutting
ARRAY occurred at Mason City, be-
tween u white boy and negro boy.
The white boy was stabbed in the
thigh by the black boy. The Offend
crwas captured, had an oxamina-
ton, and was sent to Jail, where he
now is.
A man by the name of Tucker,
was badly hurt at Mason City, one
day last week by falling from load
Cdwagon. lie struck on a standard
which entered his groin, making Il
painful and'probably fatal wound.
cartridges are not to be caught,
killed or injured, or pursued with
Intent to do so, between January 1st
and.thc 18th of October, nor are they
to be caught at any time with snares,
nets OR traps.
