Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
An accident occurred at the stock sale
at the Thudium House, on Saturday,
which resulted in the breaking of an
arm of youth named Harry Lamison.
Some careless person drove against one
of the horses being sold, and general
stampede took place. In endeavoring to
escape from the danger of being trampled
upon, the lad slipped and fell on the ice,
with the above result.
On last Friday morning Mrs. Eliza
Robinson, an aged lady who lives in the
family of Mr.. James r. Means, short
distance west of Carlisle, met with a
very painful accident. In walking out
into the yard she slipped on the ice and
fell dislocating her right shoulder and
severely injuring the ball of the shoulder
joint. Her age and feeble physical con-
dition are very much against her speedy
recovery and her sufferings have been
intense. DIR. Kieffer attended her and
at present 1t is thought she will recover.
Mrs. r., is an aunt of Mrs. Means and is
past seventy-three years old
On Tuesday last election day) the
large bank barn belonging to Francis
Mentzer, on what was formerly the
VIM. Drawbaugh and prior to that the
Abram Bowman farm, about one and
one half miles east of BloseIville, was,
with all its contents entirely consumed
by fire. Mr.. Abram Mentzer, the ten
ant, was threshing on what is now gen.
orally called a small machine, it being
propelled by horse power. After hav-
ing eaten dinner and the machine being
started up, in few minutes smoke was
discovered issuing from the straw stack
in the barn yard. (The straw was kept
in the barn and none of the hands
were on the straw stack.) The air at
the time was coming very strongly
from the east, the barn standing west of
the house, and the front and back doors
being open drew the fire in few Sec
onds into the barn and in few minutes
the whole barn was on fire. There was
in the granery at the time large quan-
tity of wheat and oats, also a large
amount of hay and straw; together
with a number of farming implements,
such as reaper, clover huller, hay rake,
threshing machine &C., which were en-
tirely consumed.
On Sunday night last the family of
Mr.. A. Allison, residing ON East Main
street, narrowly escaped suffocation
from coal gas. Before retiring on Sun
day night the husband put coal in the
range, in the kitchen, the pipe from
which passes through room on the
second floor adjoining the apartment
used as bedroom. During the night
the child-an infant-was fretful and
Mrs. A. being aroused complained of
being very sick. About 8 o'clock on
Monday morning she got up experience
ing fainting sensation, with the great
est difficulty made her way to the balco-
ny, where she soon obtained relief in
the open air. Returning to the bedside
she found Mr.. A. entirely unconscious
and at once got him into the front room.
DIR. Bender was sent for and applied re-
storatives, but not until noon of Monday
did Mr.. Allison regain consciousness
He still looks very bad and is scarcely
able to move about. The baby, too, Is
quite i'll. 1t is mystery how the damp
er range became closed, for this was
