A very appalling and fatal accident &C
cured last Wednesday, four miles south.
west of here in the border of Stark cnun.
~, at the saw mill of Miller & Quick. 1t
seems that the mill has become a loafing
place for idlers, and Mr.. Shanks being a
spectator incautiousIy venlured too ne
the saw drumming at wild which caught
hi; coat tail. drew him up and cut Lis lef,
arm half off, when he turned around and
with his RICH. side Ia the saw, which cut
his right arm off through the shoulder
joint. The arm was thrown by the force
of the saw against the roof of the mill.
Mr.. Shanks dropped into the pit benca' h
the saw, from which he was extricaied by
Miller and Quick. MY God, catch that"
was all he was heard to utter. He sur.
vived but fifteen minutes. A messenger
was dispatched for medical aid, but long
ere IL arrived. he, who had but so recently
stood in the vigor of manhood, lay limp
and lifeless, a victim of hecdlessness. The
deceased was sixty years OF age, and leaves
vile and three daughters to mourn their

Monday next. 2tst inst, the voters OF
Union township are To decide through the
ballot whether we shall or shall not have
railroad. Notwithstanding the long felt
need of a railroad through this township,
with all Tvs attendent benefits, there are
those who oppose it. Mr.. A says that
railroad companies are monnpolics, hence
should not he supported by the laborng
class. b. objects on the ground that he
does not think il just To impose tax upon
his neighbor, who would not receive the
same benefits that he would. This Is GER.
tainly very commcndable and christian
like, but we are unable to conceive just
why this good spirit should crop out in
such bold relief i'm railroad matters only
G.. opposes because his mother is wealthy
and was once n widow, AMI is denied the
right To vote. ID. hearl at man who was
once swindled by railroad company, and
lest lac too should be cheated, withholds
support Then there is Tom, Dick and
Harry who can assign no excuse but pro-
pose To vote against it any how To these
various objections We wish to say it locks
