as J. 3. Saunders was returning home in his

carriage was struck with the fore wheel of
one Of the fast-going yehicl5s driven by
George Basler. The shock threw Mrs.
Saunders and two of the children suddenly
against the dash, but fortunately causing no
serious injury. Basler's rig come out of the
collision with only three wheels and he and
his girl, by reason of the departed underpin-
ing from one corner, were landed on the
ground about half square away after brisk
scramble and trying that distance to hold on
to everything reachable, and each other, to
keep from tumbling out OF the lop-sided
three-wneeled cOntrivance. No bones were
broken, but his fine new side-spring buggy
was badly twisted and had the appearance Of
needing rest, and the carriage run into re-
ceived damaged hub and bent axle.

Karcher received a letter from an official of
another city containing the following caution
against being swindled by woman engaged
in making ladies' hair switches, etc, and
WHOM he understands is now in this city. He
says: There is a lady in your city going
around getting orders for ladies' switches and
pufs. and gathering up all the hair aud old
switches she can get. The ladies here have
had trouble in getting back the hair that
they have given her to repair and
make over. They say she does go d
work. but she mixes them all up and takes
back different hair, for the reason that hair is
valuable aud she can sell the property for
rnore than she would get for making them
over, and there Is quite number Of ladies
here who failed TO get their material back.
They said nothing about it until she was gone,
as the amounts were small-only from s. to
