A Boy HUNG ON A MEAT HoeK.-A singu-
lar and rather serious accident occurred in
Bridgeport on Saturday morning. Fred.
Fox, a boy ofeight years, was left alone in
Samuel Milligan's meat shop for short time,
and during the absence of Mr.. Milligan anus
ed himself by going through some gymnastic
performances on rack used for hanging
beeves. While testing the strength of his
arms by ''chinning" one of the hooks, he lost
his grip on the rack and as he fell the iron
hook caught underneath his jaw, passing
through to his mouth and knocking out one
of his teeth. The boy hung in this position
for some moments, when he was rescued by
Mr.. Milligan. The wound made by the
hook, although very painful, is not necessarily
of serious Observation-Disclosures.

A very pleasant re union of the Nichol fami-
w. and their descendants took place on the
Fair Grounds Hast Thursday There was
present l95 persons representing five genera
tions Of the family, besides many Connections
by marriage, and invited guests. John and
Ann Nicholthe ancestors of the present fami-
ly were of Scotch origin, but were driven by
religious persecution into Ireland from whence
they came to America about the beginning of
the present century. The exercises of the
day opened by the reading of a chapter by
Rev. rhos Balph, from the old family Bible
of John Nichol, now in the possession of
Thos. Nichol, of Wheeling township, 1and an
appropriate prayer by the Rev. I. r. Craw-
ford of Moorefeld. A bounteous dinner which
had been spread in Floral Hall was then
partaken of by all present. After dinner the
Rev. Hugh Parks was made Chairman of the
meeting and the following programme was
| carried out A reunion address abounding
in happy illusions and pleasant words, was
delivered by s. NJ. Bentley of East Richland;
an interesting family history was read by j.
NJ. Boggs of New Athens, showing that there
were 633 descendants of the family; Mr.
James Gordon of this vicinity read a poem
| by Sarah Gordon suitable to the occasion;
after which remarks were made by the chair,
detailing recollections of family history. A
committee consisting of Rev. Crawford, NJ
Boggs, S M Bentley and two other persons
whose names we did not learn, were appoint
ed to arrange for future reunions. The oc'
casion was an exceedingly interesting one to
all present and the reunion, a rc'uniting of all
in the bonds of love and friendship. Had the
desire of our reporter been needed we would
have been able perhaps to have published
most interesting sketch of family history
We regret that the history was not placed at
our disposal.

His Last Resort.

A small, inofensive- appearing one
armed man, with rather an intelligent
face, but poorly clad and with marks of
pain and suffering in his countenance,
walked slowly into the Central Police
Station yesterday forenoon and motioning
Lieut.. Morse, the officer in charge, to one
side, where he could not be overheard by
anyone else in the room, whispered in a
broken voice: 81 am sick and without

hospitals, and none of them will take
me in. [ was at the Indrmary, but there

And on the doorstep and window sill

And fair old fashioned lilacs toss
Their purple plumage high,
While honeysuckles drop their sweet
On every passer-by.
Down at the end of a pleasant path
Is a group Of evergreen trees
Pine and hemlock, and spruce and fir,
With their spicy fragrances;
And, sweetest picture OF calm content
That mortal ever saw, s

Is beehive made of straw.

His hands nervously turned over and

in its corners.

Rests a bluebird; now, upstarting,

Far away across the plain.

Only two blue wings uplifted
Where the gray clouds slowly drifted-

We have had a considerable amount
of rain the past week, which has

Friday night at Old Lynnville.
There was a large crowd in attend
ance, considering the inclemency OF
the weather. All seemed to enjoy
themselves splendidly. We are in
hopes there will be a repetition of
the same before many moons wax
and wane.
