We notice quite an improvement
in the make up Of the FARMER.
The heavy rains have SO flooded the
country, as to seriously interfere with
the work of the census enumerators.
Travel is simply impossible by the
ordinary routes in this district.
We are sorry to learn that serious
accident happened to Mr.. Tilley at
Effort & Winser's mill about week
ago. Mr.. 7. was logging and his arm
caught between the track wheel and
stump, resulting in 4 fracture. He
is. however, now improving.
We have to record quite an immi-
grafton since our last letter, quite
party of Mr.. Webster's friends and
relations from Iowa arrived recently
bringing some good horses and cat
tie. George Cassel and two other
Young men also arrived few days
ago bringing some horses with them.
A young team of mares belonging
to Mr.. Hurst, were cornered by a
freight train on Monday last, on the
rail road, and were so badly scared
that they jumped across the bridge
and finally fell between the ties;
large force Of men however succeeded.
in getting them out after considerable
labor, It is hard to sav how much
they were hurt, one of the mares be-
ing in foal. All who saw the acci-
dent unite in condeming the conduct
of the train men, who ran their
train down right on to the horses,
when two of the section men were
trying to drive them from the river,
soaring the horses past them, and
not making any attempt to stop till the
horses were driven into the bridge.

victim for one of a set of boys who

annoyed him.
A brute named Laponte outraged a
German girl at Princeton recently.
The girl was an orphan just arrived
from Germany, and was working in
the American House ut Princeton. On
the evening of the outrage she started
to visit few friends who lived two
miles from Princeton. Laponte fol-
lowed her, knocking her down and ac-
complishing his purpose after beat.
ing her about the head in a shocking
manner. She finally dragged herself
to a neighboring house. Laponte has
been captured, and there is some pros
pect that the people of Princeton will
ornament a shade tree with him.
A special telegram to the Pioneer
Press, June 18th says:-The steam
boats Stonington and Narragansett
were in collision last night on Long
Island sound. The steamers in the
collision both belonging to the s'Old
Reliable Stonington' line. The Mar.
ragansett was on her regular trip from
New York to Stonington, and the
steamer Stonington was returning to
New York. The collision occurred
about l1:25 y. m., off Connecticut
river. The Narragansett took fire
and sunk in four fathoms of water.
The passengers of both steamers were
transferred to the steamer City of New
York, of the Fall River and Boston
line, and they arrived in New York
at Ills this morning.

UPSIDE DOWN. The Natchitoches
Mail Wagon Turned Upside Down-
The Driver Injured and a Horse Killed.
We learn from passenger that yes
tefday morning about three o'clock,
while the Natchitoches mail stage, or
"buck" wagon, was plodding its way
along the road a mile the other side of
Pleasant Hill, and coming down hill,
the pole broke, which scared the llor-
ses, causing them to start at a rate
faster than the mail generally goes on
the route. Before leaving the wagon,
however, they took the precaution to
upset it, covering the passenger. and
carrying the driver off with them some
hundred yards. Upon recuperating
lost energies the driver found that one
horse had been killed and the other
was not to be seen, but was afterward
found on the road when himself and
the passenger we're going to Pleasant
Hill in a wagon sent out for them.
Arriving at Pleasant Hill, connection
was made with the regular stage, the
passenger and mail transferred, and all
arrived in Shreveport only few hours
behind time. The driver, whose name
we learn is John Justice, was quite
badly brushed up in the accident.
The passenger, who is printer, and
carries the usual luck Of the craft with
him, arrived here in perfect condition.
In upsetting, the wagon covered him
and he, as is usual, always makes it a
rule to stick to matters that are safe.
He remained till the driver returned
and lifted the wagon from over him,
when he arose in perfectly sound
condition, and will, perhaps, start in
for a "briefH period on the Standard
