UNIUNTOWN.

A LITTLE CHILD, son of j. II. Harris,
fractured the bone of his right arm by
striking it against the fence while run
ming. DR.. c. Workman set the bone, and
the patient is doing well.
AN alarming accident occurred on
Sabbath, just at the close of services at
A. r. Church. The horses attached to
the carriage of Mr.. VIM. Taylor, ran
away, and fortunately before any one
was seated in tie carriage. The horses
were left for moment and started for
home. Finding themselves free they
became alarmed, and ran up the street
at furious rate They were detached
by the carriage striking hitching post,
and were caught before leaving town.
They were uninjured, but the carriage
was badly broken. Mr.. Taylor is good
horseman, and if he had held the lines
there would have been no running.
Mrs SLEETH, the accomplished and
refined wife of the popular and efficient
Pastor of Caledonia Congregation, West
Va, Rev. ID. NJ. Sleeth, is visiting her
parents and other relatives in Ohio. Her
father, Mr.. James Newlin, is Il resident
of this locality.
Miss FLORA GRIMES, who las been
lying dangerously i'll for several weeks,
is, we are happy to state, pronounced
out of danger by her physician, DR.. c.
Workman. This will be joyful news to
the many friends of Miss Grimes, who
is d universal favorite in this commu-
nifty.
Mr.. HESS, wife and children, are the
guests of Mrs. Naomi Yarnell, and her
son, Mr. David Yarnell. Mrs. Hess is a
daughter of Mrs. Y, and they have been
separated from each other for seventeen
years. The occasion was a pleasant one
to all concerned. Mr.. H. is prosperous
farmer of Carroll county, and lie and
Mrs. II. are persons of culture and intel
ligence. Those who had the pleasure of
meeting them were favOrably impressed
with their genial and pleasant manners.
REV. d. c. KNOWLES preached Sab
baih evening in the U. p. Church. His
discourse was an excellent one, and he
was invited to return. He was accom-
panied by Rev. - : Pierce. Many years
ago they had preached their first SER
mons in Pennsylvania, and had separted
not to meet until the occasion referred
to. The Church which they represent,
IN. e., numbered many members, but
the congregation was gradually broken
up, until the only representative of the
original association present, was Mr..
David Davis, gentleman of perhaps
eighty years of age, and one that was al
ways faithful to the creed of his choOs-
ing, and earnest in his desire for the well
fare of his Church.
OLD FREEZEUP has been sneaking
around town ut night for some time, e,and
his tracks could easily be perceived. On
Monday morning he marched i'll, and be-
gan business, and on that morning a
lump of coal looked nicer TO Il poor man
than the finest oil painting.
IMPROVEMENTS MIR. Wesley Humph-
rey has built Il new house. Mr.. james
Shields has refitted and improved his
property. Mr.. 5. Bethel has also been
making improvements.
REMovALs.-Mr. John Price has re-
moved from the farm near town, to his
farm on StillWater creek, and Mr.. j.
Gilbert, of Flushing, will take his place.
Mr.. JOHN Milburn will remove to the
farm of Mr.. L. J. Pollock.
Mr.. JAMES VI. ROGERS, for many
years citizen of this town, and former
ly G. & 2. Railroad agedt at Lagrange,
and late of Bentleysville, Pa, is now a
resident of Wheeling, where he will en-
gage i'll mercantile pursuits. The Wells
burgh and Wheeling papers speak high
ly of his social and business qualiiica-
tionS.
ADAN FLY, as we lfave heard him
called-though after an acquaintance of
several years, we have not learned his
front name-is very feeble, and cannot
survive very long. He will leave this
world with rejoicings at his departure
having acted in such way as to de-
serve reproach, although newspaper men
speak of him as Il public benefactOr.
