The following binders were the committee APP

that the horse had on the wrong bride, and
while the brides were being exchanged the
horse became frightened and dashed off in an In.
slant at It's best speed. Mrs, Windle and her
grandson were seated in the buggy, and certain
destruction seemed to await them. Mrs. Windle,
however, retained her presence Of mind, seized
the child and thrust 1t through the rear Of the
buggy and reaching as near the ground as posi-
BILE, let the child drop. Mrs. W. still retaining
her presence Of mind jumped from the rear OF
the buggy, spraining her ankle and knee severe.

horse and buggy ran off a bridge, falling about
eight feet, and strange as 1t may appear were not

OUTRAGE On last Saturday night q couple Of
cowardly villains entered the stable Of Mr.. John
schilling and badly cut and ruined his harness
buggy top. A young lady in the employ OF Geo,
D. Harter, near by, saw two men run across some
vacant lots, near Mr.. schilling's, that night and
one Of them dropped his cap, The cap is in the
hands Of the officers and they are pretty conf.
dent that they can fasten the guilt upon the right
parties in q few days.
1t is supposed that 1t was the same villains that
cut off all the beautiful flower stocks on the lawn
fronting Mr.. David Hammond's residence, the
same night, and threw them on the porch. A
good 500 lsshes and a coat Of tar and feathers,
would be q mild punishment for the cowsrdly
~scoundrels should they be captured.

One Of the greatest annoyances that farmers
frequently meet with, is the breaking Of some
parts OF machines In the midst Of the greatest
hurry. The wheat is ripe and hands ready to do
their part, but a sudden giving way Of the ma

get some sort OF consolation, however, in the re.

named George Foalk, from Upper sandusky, and
who had been driving a coal team for Mr.. Robert
