Thursday last. 1t appears the tamping iron

the rock, causing premature explosion of

the sand having penetrated the flesh it Is
necessary tc blister the skin in order to ex-
tract it-a severe and painful operation.

[ On Wednesday morning E. p. Hudson,
of near Thompsontown, Juniata county,
started his two boys, Lewis, aged l3, the
other few years younger, in company with
for B. II. & J. Fickes, of Newport. In
going over the bridge that spans a small
stream of water, which comes down the
gulley at NJ. Oren's, on the famous Howe
township river road, a short distance from
Newport, the sills of the rotten structure
gave way just as the three horses and front
carriage Of the wagon had got safely over.
With comDendab!e presence of mind, the
driver instantly drew reins and spoke to his
horses and they nobly hung to their work,
pulling the suspended wagon up on to solid
ground. The moment the wagon crushed
through, the wagon bed and corn were
hurled to the water below, distance Of
about twenty feet Lewis sat on a board
that projected from the hind end of the
wagon, for the purpose of drawing the lock
in going down grade. He had just thrown
of the brake and resumed his seat when
the accident occurred. He was pitched
along with the corn, several bags of which
rolled on him, but, singular as it may appear,
he sustained no injuries save few slight
bruises about the body and more serious
knock over the left eye. The wagon was
tried severely, but came out of the wreck
with the hind hounds partly broken. As
sistsnce speedily came to hand, the wagon
was reloaded and at o'clock p. m. its con-
tents were deposited safely at Fickes' ware
house. -Nerport NeTs.
