SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-Nlr. Silas n. Doug
lass. son OF John II. Douglass, Esq, OF Clear
field township, met with q sad mishap, about
noon on Wednesday Of last week, which it
was feared for q time would prove fatal, but
which, we are glad to learn, is not likely
now TO be the caSc-hiS present condition
being such. indeed, as To leave no room for
doubt about his recovery. The facts in the
case, SO far - we could learn them, are that
hlr. Douglass, who bad been unwsll for
several DAYS. was returning from one of the
fields on his fathers farm, where he had
been engaged in blowing and was in the
act OF watering his team, when he was seized
with = falUtIUC tit and falling between the
horses, one O! which he was riding at the
time. he was tTamr-ed upon and terribly in
jured about the head and face, the upper
front teeth being broken out, the chin split
open and slLt bare on one side clear TO the
neck, and the jaWbJue fractured IN no less
than three places When found the un-
fortunate young man was in an unconscious
condition, and, aS may readily be supposed,
presented most shocking sight lie was
speedily rescued from his peUii0us position
aud carried into the house, after which n
nIesSeuCH: was dispatched to summon the
priest, death 70 All appearances being I'M
miDout. while StiI others fastened to secure
the services Of DR.. Sloan, OF Chest Springs
and Or. Mchulleu, Of ST Augustine. When
the medical gentleman hTStnamel discovered
the horrible plight his patient was in he
favored the cutting away Of al the loose
flesh which hung in shTets from the injured
mans chin, be deeming that the more ex-
peditiuus method Of reaching and properly
treating the badly shattered Jaw, bat Dr.
MCMuiien opposed such heroic treatment
and the result was THAT the two physicians
went to work and adjusted the fractured
bones as best they could, after which they
scwa3 mp the gaping wounds and left the
unfortunate young man in rs comfortable
condition as possible. Since then Mr. Doug
lass has taken a decided change for the
better. and is now, as we have already stated
in fair way Of recovery. That the accident
was q very serious and painful one cannot
be doubted, but that our young friend has
reason % congratulate himself on his Narrow
escape from death is equally clear.

TOGETHER IN DEATH. A touching
incident occurred in the death oftwO
aged people, Mr.. and Mrs. Dick-on,
at Oskaloosa, Iowa, last week. For
convenience in attendance during
their illness they were placed in sep
aratc bedrooms. The heads Of the
beds were placed against thin par
tition, which, having an open door,
permitted the two old people to con-
verse, though not able to see each
other. The night before the hus-
band died his wife heard him sroan-
ing, and was very anxious to be with
him, but was unable to arise. Soon
she was informed that he was dying,
and in order to be near him the beds
were moved so as to bring them par
allel with the partition, the heads
opposite the door, This done, the
fond wife reached out, grasped her
husband by the hand, and held it
during his last moments. Thus
death found them as nearly or quite
ffty-one years before the marriage
ceremony had left them, joined hand
in hand.

she comes, must make her own
place, and Suinte- Beuve tells us, and
experience shows us that she will.
And when the lack Of severe training
is apparent in the productions OF
such woman, we may partially
console ourselves by rejecting that
she, probably, OF all gifted creatures
can best dispense with formal disci-

that her genius should be feminine,
