PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-On Sunday afternoon
Mr.. N. w. s. Hays was driving near Churchville,
in a trotting wagon, which contained, besides
himself, two friends, Mr.. Hays being seated in
the middle. The horse became frightened at
a wagon approaching from side road and sud-
denly SHED Mr.. Hays, in cndeavoring to turn
the animal into the road again, lost his balance
and fell out, dropping the rcins. One of the
wheels passed over his head, cutting his ear and
also bruising his neck. The horse was about to
run, when Mr.. Mackison, one OF the occupants of
the vehicle, sprang upon his back and scizing hold
OF the check rcin stopped him, while the other
occupant, Mr.. VIM. Jacobs, who had been thrown
over on the wheel, gathered up the rcins. Mr..

THE BOND PEIzES.-Thc report of the distribu-
tion of the Bond prizes TO the farmer bows for
the best yield of corn ON one.oighth of an acre,
will be published ncXt,wcck. From the accounts
we have received the largest yields are in the
fourth district. Addison l.. Wilson, son of
VIM. A. Wilson, of Chrome Hill, raised ,60l %
lbs, or little more than 81 barrels to the acre
estimating a barrel to weigh $50 lbs. George
w. GLADDEN., son of VIM. GLADDEN., of the same
district, raised ,53111 lbs; Shadrick Robinson,
son of Jesse Robinson, also raised about 81 bar
ty wcllforward in the race arc Charles A. Famous
Adam Horn, Jr., +. Amcdcc Smith and Harry
C. Hood. Unfortunately for the latter mules and
hogs both broke into his patch and destroyed
some of his corn. A little colored boy, named
jackson, who lives near Churchville, was one of
the competitors, but not being aware of the
conditions, cut his corn before the committee
came to inspect it. He was consequently thrown
out of the contest, although he he'd large
yield and his patch showed careful cultivation.
