Mercury aud Venus are the only two whose

of all the planets are nearly on the same plane.

Judge McCandless, Commissioner
Collins, Cal. Christie, Esq. Mr.. Rieber and
Mr.. Badger got home from the wilds of For
est county last Friday, bringing eight deer with
them. They spent seven or eight days In the
woods of the sastera part of that county, loag
ing and getting their meals at the house of a
settler in the woods. The Judge got but one
shot and brought down his deer distance of
about eighty yards. Deer are plenty in the
1ense woods there, but as they are very keen
ind wild, it is hard to get near them, and the
lnderbrush in the woods is 81 thick that 1t Is
almost impossible to penetrate it. Judge
who is now an old man, thinks
hat he could have done better fifty years ago.
de shot the last deer killed in this county,
,ver twenty years ago, on the hill about
lalf mile east of Butler, and trapped the
asst wolf killed in this county, over twenty
I've years ago, in the giades Of ClearReld |
wp. He got $l2 from the county for killing
hat wolf, and $3.50 for the hide, making |
Torth as much as $50 is now.
Mr.. James Slater of this town,
on of Nathan Slater, Esq, met with very |
erious. accident last Wednesdaymorning at their /
'ell near Renfrew, under the following circum- |
tances. They had raised the tools out of the |
ole with the engine, had bailed out the welland |
ngeared the engine and commenced to lower /
he tools, when finding it again necessary to |
lise them o few inches. attempted to do so by |
and, using the bull wheel. Jim jumped on one |
heel and loosened thebrake, but he was up too
igh on the wheel for his weight to he much of
lever, and the tools started down the hole, and |
le wheel commenced revolving rapidly throw
~ him up and between the wheel and some
lanks nailed on the derrick, called the girt.
e held on to the brake and this saved his life.
q it was, bis left leg was caught between the
heel and the girt and badly lacerated. The
ther men at the we'll came to his assistance
soon they recovered from their fright,
nd getting the brake down rescued him from
is perilous position, but not until seven of the
ms on the wheel had been broken OF and the
,ols had descended some 200 feet. From the
ct that set of oil well tools weigh about 5000
ounds, the force with which the bull wheel
ould revolve Is apparent, and 1t will be seen
,ar his escape from instant death was almost
iraculous. His wounds were dressed up by
RS. Campbell and Pillow, and he. is now do

rain for some weeks.
