One of the sweetest little dam
sells in the city was pairing her rosy
toenails in her 6ouioir the other
evening when the sudden entrance
of sister startled her-her foot
slipped, and the keen pen-knife
slashed one of her pretty toes to the
bone This explains why the young
lady has declined to appeari in public
for several days. The moral to be
drawn from the incident probably is,
that girls ought not to pare their
toenails, or ought to do it with
scissors or snuffers. --- Darlington
Cor da Gdiena Gazette.

-Nettie, daughter of ID w. Gil
lett, of Shullsburg, was riding on
bob sleighs, Oh Monday of last week,
and had her foot caught under the
runner, and dragged $50 yards,
breaking the main bone in the foot.

On Tuesday evening Of this
week, while coasting on Gray's hill,
Henry Hooking met with q very seri-
ous accident, In company with sew
eral other boys he started down the
hill on a large sled. Near the bot
tom of the hill fence crossed the
road, in which there is pair of
bars, and during the winter season
they are usually left open; but on
this evening one of the bars had
been replaced, and as the boys came
down the hill, at the rate OF twenty
miles an hour, Henry's face struck
the bar, rendering him insensible
and cutting his face in terrible
manner. His companions lifted him
into cutter and took him home.
At last accounts the sufferer was
doing as well as could be expected.

If paper speaks well Of per-
son it is taken for granted as all
right and nothing is heard Of it,
not even "thank you" If it reflects
the least little bit on what a person
happens to do, an editor is given to
understand that ten thousand people
read his paper, and that they are all
mad aud will stop their paper after
one more issue which will stop the
concern of course - E,c
On Wednesday evening, Jan.
30th, human brute who had been
reduced even below the animal, by
rot-gut whiskey, of which he hed
imbibed freely, made an assault dp-
on his wife with "A whip, striking
her a cruel blow over the head and
shoulders. lie was seated in q sleigh,
and had ordered the poor woman,
who was on the sidewalk, to get in,
addressing her as if she were dog
instead of the person whom he had
sworn at the altar to love and cher
/ ish. The man was evidently in o
/ hurry % ret out FOR home, and simply
becansc the woman failed TO respond
to his orders with that alacrity
which he imagined should charac-
tcrize her movements, he brought
his whip down with savage force,
Just as she was climbing unaided
into the sleigh, leaving the mark Of
his lash, no doubt, upon her body.
The wife cried with pain, and shrank
from her husband with fear into the
back end Of the sleigh. The brute
made a half motion as though he
were about to strike her again, and
with tyranical shake of the head,
turned his back to the crouching
female, and drove down the street
The whole scene was witnessed by
three or four Of our citizens One
Of the number held in his hand a
heavy hickory cane, the full weight
Of which the brute would have felt
upon his head, had he attempted TO
strike tho woman another blow. The
lucky impulse Of which prevented
him from so doing, saved some one
Of our physicians job. This hui
man brute who disgraces the name
Of man, is a resident Of East Galena,
and a farmer by occupation, al
though his like, thank heaven, are
exceedingly limited among the men
who till the soil.--Gd5ette.
