County Ncws.-We clip the follow
ing items from the last Charlcstown pa
pcrs
From the SPIRIT.
The large brick building known rs Myr-
tie Hall, Storer College, IIarper's Ferry,
caught fire OH Monday last and would
have been serious fire but for the prompt
ness of the superintendent and students.
The loss was small.
A little two-year-old son Of Mr.. Rich'd
ID. Rutherford, residing near town, had
three fingers severed from one of his
hands accidentally by Z blow from a
Ratchet in the hands Of ali older little
brother, last Thursday.
The large fire seen from town last Tues
day night was occasioned BY the burning
of the stone barn on Mrs. Isbcll's farm,
upon which there was no insurance. The
wheat in the granary, about 900 BUSH
els, owned by the tenant, Mr.. Forous,
was insured for $500. We understand the
horses were gotten out with great diff
Guilty just as the roof was falling in.
Mr.. Samuel Michaels, Of this county,
was thrown from his horse several weeks
ago and severely injured, his horse being
frightened by some young men riding
past him at 4 rapid rate and making very
unnecessary noise. Subsequently, on
Saturday week, two little daughters of
Mr.. Michaels, aged IL and S years, were
thrown from Il horse under very similar
circumstances, and the eldest one very
badly hurt.
From the Free Press:
The spoke factory of the Messrs. Mus
selman is running day and night-a double
set of hands employed-to fill 4 European
contract.
On Saturday morning last, as Mr.. B. F.
Howell was on his way to Charlestown
from his home Oh the east side Of the
Shenandoah River, accompanied by his
niece, Miss Gieslin, of Howard County,
Nd, 4 two-horse team of Mr.. Charles
Goems became frightened and ran, and the
tongue of the wagon pierced the buggy
between Mr.. Howell and the lady. The
buggy was broken to pieces, but the oc-
cupauts escaped injury. One of the horses
of Mr.. Gocns was disembOweled by the
spring of the buggy. MIR. Howell's loss
is about 500, his buggy being new one.
The horse of Mr.. Goens was insured in
the Emmiltsburg, Pa, Company, so that
his loss will not be L total one.
