Last Thursday, James Robson
had both his legs hurt by lime box
falling on his limbs. The box was
being put on wagon, but the men
that were handling it lost their hold
OF it and it fell to the ground. Rob
ison's legs would have been broken
if it had not been for the fact that
the weight of the box in part was
kept off his limbs by strip of wood
that kept it from going close to the
ground.

stead at Browns MILL Franklin
county, occupied by Hirman Small,
was struck by lightning. The family,
fortunately were at the barn attending
to feeding and milking, thus escap-

house and out to the cistern, setting
the building on fire in several places,
and before any assistance could be
procured the entire building was en-
veloped in flames, and all of it that
remains is charred and blackened
mass. The family succeeded in saw
ing large portion of the furniture,

possible to ascertain the names of
