glass jar with beans and for the
benefit of his customers offered
three prizes-lst, 2nd and 3rd-for
those who could guess the nearest to
how many beans were in the jar.

SAD ACCIDENT. Saturday last,
while Mr.. Theodore Branger was en-
gagged in slowing away ice at Gill
mann's brewery, he met with an ac-
cident which places him in pain
full and critical condition. 1t appears
he was at window, in the second
story, drawing in the crystal cakes
as they were hoisted, and while en-
deavoring to draw one in his feet
slipped, and the cake of ice swung
back, dragging him out of the
window. He fell to the hard frozen
ground, from is to 20 feet below,
striking head foremost, receiving a
bad concussion of the stomach and
injury TO the spine. '1'is hoped the
old gentleman will recover, but at
this writing the chances are against
him.
