The Odd Fellows had good social time

FENNIMoRE

a shocking accident occurred near
this village Monday morning. by means
OF which one of our citizens loses his
arm and perhaps his life The facts as
near as can be learned are these. Mr.
I. Pigg had been out hunting and stop
ped for moment in the barn yard of
MIR. Abe Howells While there ne was
asked TO assist in putting box on
sled and sat his gun down with the bar
rel resting on the side of the sled. As
he was engaged in showing the box on,
the gun, in some unaccountable man
ner, was discharged, the load of shot
taking effect in Mr. Pigg's arm, nearly
seyering it from the body. The wound
ed man was carried into the house and
medical aid summoned. Dr's Pickard,
Wood and Carley responded to the call
and the arm was ampGtated at the
shoulder. The patient was delirious
Monday night but the chances are in his
favor Of pulling through.
Another accident comes within our
range to chronicle. A team driven by
Ira Root, of Mt. Ida, who recently came
here from Pennsylvania, ran away and
threw Mr.. Root out fracturing his
collar bone and hurting him severely
about the head
Mr.. Block is preparing for his exodus

Revising the Charter.

A lighted courtroom and vigorous
ringing of the bell Monday evening
brought together moderate audience to
listen to the reason why the city char
ter needed remodelling Squire Bald
win was elected chairman and f. Pol
lock secretary. The object of the meet
ing was succinctly stated by Col. Clark
and the weak spots in the charter point
ed out. After some desultory talk Mr..
Pollock moved that a committee of five
be appointed to look over the city charter
and suggest such alterations as might in
their judgement be deemed best.
Motion carried.
Mr. Bushnell thought this the wisest
course but would favor anything that
would allow us to improve our streets
and keep up with other cities. The
gentleman called attention TO the fact
that Lancaster was in good situation
for the future, in fact, gentlemen even in
Chicago had told him they considered
Lancaster one of the best towns of its
size in the state.
Judge Mills interrupted the speaker,
to say that parties in Boscobel had told
him eastern people said the same thing
Of that city.
But both gentleman agree that the
first thing to be done was to get out of
the mud
Mr.. Bushnell continuing called atten-
ton to the system of improvements in
augurated by Plat,evl While Lam
caster had not a bit of macadamized
road either in the city or vicinity. Some
years ago the council had resolved to
commence system of gradual improve
ments in the streets and roads but had
never put their plans into operation.
Mr.. David Schreiner suggested that
the City Council should be added to
the committee
The council through Mr.. Buchner,
objected, as they wished the people TO
act their own free will. The motion
was therefore withdrawn. The COM
mittee was then appointed by the chair
man, as follows: Z. Pollock, Judge
Mills, A. r. Bushnell, d. Schreiner. At
this point Mr.. Pollock arose and moved
that the chairman's name be added to
complete the list. Motion carried.
1t was then moved that when the
meeting adjourn it be to week from
Tuesday evening. Carried. Some
trouble was found in finding place for
the committee to meet but Mr.. Buchner
came TO the rescue and placed his Office
at the disposal of the reyisers.
At this point Mr.. Buchner moved that
Mr. Geo. Clementson be added to the
committee which motion was unanimous
ly adopted
Meeting then adjourned till Thursday
evening January IL

to see Mr. Pike settle with us. but we
regret it that Mr.. Clark has concluded
to leave the town. He is an active.
energetic man, full of business, good
lawyer and an elegant orator Mr.. C.
does not contemplate closing out his
business in this place Immediately, and
it may be possible that he will recon-
slider the matter and find it to his in
terest to stay with us for a time.
MIR. George Diggle is getting fat,
which is sign of prosperity to our
rotund tonsorial friend who is building
up quite prosperous business.
There lives in the town a man who
for years has toiled, and hammered and
sung, and supported large family
which is equally divided as to sex. The
boys have grown up to manhood's
estate. that is, two of them have, and
have gone out from the parental roof
to seek their fortunes in other lands.
These Christmas times brought them
all home again, to have family reun-
ion, to gather once more around the
family board, as they were wont to in
days agone and behold you upon count
ing them, there were seven instead Of
six as was the case when last they met
at that same table. One bad taken un-
to himself mate which accounted for
the increase. Thus as years roll on
the faithful parents have seen their
children bud and blossom into mans
and woman's estate, and the social
gathering at their house on New Years
eve, was one of those pleasing episodes
in the lives of Frank and Mary Schell
With apples, cider, music and song,
nuts, cake and coffee, they watched the
Old Year out and the New Year in.
Thus is one man rewarded for all his
toll through the long weary years that
have passed in sickness and distress, in
trouble and in tribulation. But now
that is over. A brighter era dawns on
our friend Schell, when in future years,
he shall have family reunions and each
year shall add a son-in-law or daugh-
ter-in-law until the family shall have
been increased to twelve. and, then when
the little Schell's shall begin to shell out,
as is sure TO be the case, what pleas
ure it will be to these fond parents who
have SO carefully watched and so tender
ly reared their family.
