TUEsDAY.-Rain.. Sam. Gilbert, Of
Portsmouth, in town. This afternoon
Lizzie Boggs, second daughter of Horace
Boggs had a terrible piece of misfortune
Mrs. Boggs put tomato-can, containing
some liquid concentrated lye, upon safe
The little girl, being thirsty, and search
ing for something to drink, mistook the
lye for tomato-juice, and drank quanti-
ty of it. When the horrible eating and
burning commenced, the child ran to the
residence of a neighbor, and asking for
water, drank great quantity, which
made a seething suds of the lye which
had been swallowed, and the child began
vomiting suds and blood. The little girl
is in about the same- condition, late to-
night. Elder j. P. Ewing, of Ripley, is
in town tonight, and we were informed

Church, tonight, at which there was one
baptized. Erie Cherington is bright
little fellow, son of the Sheriff, and keeps
the run of things pretty well about the
jail. Jackson has doggery-keeper who
is fined at almost every session Of the
Court of Common Pleas, and sometimes
goes to Jail. To-day Erie met him, and
thinking that as Court is in session this
fellow ought of course to be in Jail, he ac-
costed him with "well, are yo,t coming IN
to-no7roa0?' The1ittle fellow was doubt
less seeking information, but his words
contained whole sermon for him to
whom they were addressed.
WEDNESDAY, Mayor Crawford, of
Portsmouth, is in town to-day. Craw-
ford has been in poor health, and has fall
len away until he only weighs about two
hundred and forty pounds, now. The

in jamestown, by Rev. D. J. Jenkins, as

Ter, was taking in wheat to-day at Frank

| While dragging sack of wheat-which
had just been handed out of the wagon
| and walking backward, he fell through a
small hatchway, or chute, which is used
