A Serious Accident.-Sin

A Serious Accident-Sincet the fall of
snow, with its accompanied sleet; rains, frosts
and freezes, few accidents of serious char
acter have occurred, until Tuesday of this
week, when Rosa Moulden, little daughter
of Mr.. Joseph MouIden, of this place, while
coasting on the play grounds Of the public
school house, broke one Of her arms. The
sled on which Rosa and her companion
were riding became manageable and dash
ing toward Il fence, her companion seeing
their danger rolled off while she remained
on and was brought to ii sudden stop against
the obstruction mentioned, which resulted
as above stated. Had her companion re-
manned with her, both might have been
more seriously injured. DR.. Anderson re-
duced the fracture and the little sufferer is
now doing as well as could be expected.

lurid flames sported with their devoted boys
what a terrible and heart-rending sight,
and how their hearts must have been torn
as they fancied they could hear their ago
MIXING screams The night broke away and
in the morning sunlight, in heap of ashes,
were found the remains Of Martin Francis
and Dennis Joseph, aged respectively twelve
and nine, together with John Falvey, aged
forty-four years. Pending this terrible or
deal Mr.. and Mrs. G. were in their night
clothes. Mrs. G. was barefooted, and when
she lett the scene of the sad incident was
compelled TO walk mile through the snow
but so great was the grief and agony of
mind that she was insensible to the suffering
incident to such exposure.
Mr.. G. had no insurance and every arti-
Gle of household furniture and clothing was
lost, including two gold watches, $3.50 in
money and $1,000 check, the latter can
be replaced. The remains Of the unfortu-
nate victims, who were so untmely and
frightfully hurried into eternity, were taken
yesterday morning to Washington for in
terment.
In this distressing calamity Mr.. Cavanaugh
and family have the deep sympathy Of our
entire community. The wound is indeed a
deep one, and one which will bleed long and
freely, by reason Of the terrific and painful
ordeal through which they have passed; but
grief hath its ebbings, and wesincerely nope
that the sad memories of this painful afliic-
ton will be lost in a realization of the truth
that "all things work together for good"

In most eastern states. as well az 10 a large
extent liz Illinois, the lst of May is the day on
which most leases expire and new ones begin,
and is therefore appropriately called moving
day" But this year the LIST of May happens
to fall on Monday, and the question arises
with many, on which day must they move
Saturday or Sunday The custom among
bankers Is, that if note falls due on Sunday
it must be paid on Saturday, but this is only
custom, and has the force OF law only among
bankers. Sunday, in legal contemplation, is
dies n0a that is, no day, and man who has
paid rent for the whole month of April canno,
be compelled to move before the month is up.
The next month coming IN ON Sunday, which
is mo day." cannot, therefore, legally com
mence until Monday. The landlord certainly
cannot dispossess his tenant on Saturday, be.
fore his lease is out, and for Obvious reasons
he cannot commence such proceedings on
Sunday. Monday is therefore this year the
proper moving day.

| The rise Of the Mississippi, which took it
up to the danger line as far down as Hannibal,
