An Accident On Sunday evening the
l4th inst, Mr.. VIM. Burrell, of Carroll
township, met with quite mishap. He
hitched up pair of horses ready to go
to church, but wanting strap from the
stable gave his son, boy about eight
years of age the lines to hold while he
was gone. During his absence the horses
started, and turning square around, up
set the vehicle, throwing out the boy,
breaking his collar bone. The lad was
otherwise bruised, and for time it was
feared he was seriously injured. The
wagon was a new one, and was some
thing extra in finish and style. 1t now
needs repairs badly.
Christy City."-We have received full
particulars from Carter county, Mo-,
where this so-called " city' is said to be
located. These letters positively assert
"that no such place exists, except in i'm
agination. Different clerks of the Court
in that county have been asked to record
plot of the place, but have refused
The last Clerk received 50 with such
request, but declined to make the record
and returned the money to the person
sending it.
Any person who expects to buy any
lots in that locality can, by calling on
us, read letters from parties in Carter
county, and find out their opinion of

Incendiary Fire. On last Wednesday
evening, the large and new mansard
roof dwelling house, the property of
Mr. Joseph e. Crowell, situated on Pros
pect Hill, in Greencastle, was entirely
destroyed by fire. The building was al
most completed and Mr.. Crowell intend
ed moving into it in few weeks. The
entire structure was in flames when the
fire was first discovered and the firemen
who were promptly on hand were un-
able to save it and directed their efforts
to the buildings in close proximity be-
longing to Mr.. Addison Imbrie, which
they prevented from sharing the same
fate. 1t was without doubt the work of
incendiaries, the fire being kindled in
different parts of the building. Mr..
Crowell had also received letters threat
ening its destruction. There is an in
surance of $4,000 in the Royal of Liver
pool which is but a fraction of the loss
ustained.-Fraaklin Repository.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
One day last week two strangers hired
teams from liveryman Bretz, promising
to return by Friday. Neither of the
individuals returned, but instead thereof
Mr.. BretZ received note post marked
"Yorlx, - stating that he could obtain
the one team at Smiths hotel, at Bridge
port. The other team was recovered at
Sweitzers. The scoundrels had used the
teams all they desired and then de-
camped.
The prospects for plenty of employ
ment at f. Gardner & Co.'S are very
good. 'Tis said that $500 are paid out
weekly by this enterprising firm. We
will venture the assertion that no other
firm has the same pay day as +. Gardner
q Co.-Monday. 1t would be good
idea II other employers would adopt the
same day, and thereby avoid much
rowdyism on Saturday and Sunday, as
is the case In many places We know of
