winchester Leader. Membership the
appeal eases of Honesty and Banks, wilcb
il was Thought would be heard at the
present session Of the Supreme Court OF
Appeals, have been postponed until the
September term, lSS6.---- One day TINS
week while Mrs. Joseph Flemister was
putting M q picture at her residence,
corner Cork q Braddock streets, this city,
fell from a chair and broke her arm .----.
We are informed that James Casper,
living near the Burnt Factory, this coun-
ty. while engaged in cleaning ont well
for Frank Clevenger, a few days ago, was
overcome by foul air. He was taken out
in about half an hour afterwards by WIN.
Lee, and physicians sent for. lie remain
ed insenable for several hours -. The
first WOmen's Convention ever held IN
Winchester, attracted a good degree OF
attention this week. The night sessions
crowded the churches, and people were
standing in the aisles every night, We
do not know that any came to scoii, but
if so IL is probable that they also stayed
to weep il not to pray.
Page Courier: A most unfortunate acci-
dent occurred in Greene county only q
few days ago. Young man, Dir. Benz.
Sims, in company with two young ladies',
the Misses Gordon of the same county,
were on the banks of Middle river fish
ing. Mr.. Sims had dynamite cartridge
in his pocket and proposed to explode 1t
40 a. TO kill the fish in hole OF water
The cartridge was fired and thrown into
the river but failed 20 explode. Mr.. Sims
reached down and into the water and
secured the cartridge, and whilst in the
act of applying match one of the young
ladies remarked that the fuse was still
smoking. Just at that juncture an OK
plosion occurred which entirely carried
away the left hand Of Mr.. Sims and all OF
the other hand save the thumb. One Of
his eye balls was burst from the socket,
his face badly damaged, besides receiving
other injuries. Fortunately the ladies
were unhurt, but were knocked down and
badly stunned. Dir. Sims is one Of the
best young men in Greene county aud his
sad affection brings sorrow TO many loving
hearts.
Stanton Spectator: On last Tuesday
evening about 3 o'clock, the sOuth-bound
freight train on the Valley X. r., set fire
10 the barn Of Mr.. I. A. BrOwnlee about l
mile west Of this place. When the alarm
was gwen a great many persons from town
and the neighborhood hurried to the
place, but were unable to save it. A lot Jf
wheat. hay, lumber, fertilizer, carriage
and lot OF cloverseed were consumed.
1t was with great difficulty that tho re
sidence which was only about GO yards
distant was saved. His loss is estimated
at about $4,000, insurance about S25O.OO,
insured in the East Augusta Mutual fire

Mason g. Hamlin Pianos.

Mason a llumlin bid fair 10 become ~
famous for their upright pianos n they
have long been for their world-renownrd
cabinet organs. The distinguishing fea-
ture about the Mason & IIamlin Upright
is an important Improvement in the meth
oil Of holding the strings Of the piano,
which originated in their own factory.
The strings are secured by metallic fasten-
ings. instead OF 10y the friction Of pins set
in wood, as has been the case, and the
advantages resulting arc numerous and
highly important. Among them are the
following Wonderful beauty and must
cal quality Of tone far less liability Of get
ting ont Of tune; greater reliability in
trying climates; and greater solidity OF
construction and durability. Mason /
Hamlin have made 10000 organs. They
can hardly expect to make as many
pianos, but they will doubtless be called
upon for very large number. Indeed
their piano department 1t now running to
its utmost capacity, and the Company Is
behind orders. So great is the demand
that the Company is now arranging ior
large additional factory building.

Some Woodstock boy will be looking at
the world through one eye before many
DAYS are passed and gone. A short stick
with an awl or sharp tack in one end and
several feathers in the other is the inter
estiDg little instrument that every boy is
now carving, and which they throw around
with astonishing recklessness. A small
boy, Charlie Hines, a scholar at the grad
Ell school, bad one Of these darts stuck in
to his face just below the eye, a few days
ago. II was a close call for an eye, and
M less the teachers Of the school and the
officials Of the town step in and stop the
use Of this dangerous plaything some one
will certainly be blinded or otherwise Sc
riously injured.

Although our graded school and the
private schools of the town have started
up with large numbers of scholars and
with fine prospects for successful ses-
sion, it is still surprising to see the num-
Der Of children of school age wandering
aimlessly about the streets during school
hours. This is a big mistake, and one
that will bring evil fruit in after years.
Let parents watch their children and SEQ
that they attend school regularly, other
wise they may have cause for bitter but
unavailing regret in after years. See that
your children take advantage Of the oper-
tunities now offered them. In a few years
from this it will be too late.

Some time since IN a local notice Of the
exhibition Of Doris circus at this place,
we spoke Of the conduct Of number Of
the employees, and said that as the circus
was travelling South it would be well for
them to be little more careful, especial
ly in their bearing towards ladies, that
the Southern people did not put up with
such conduct, and some Of Doris crowd
would furnish the material for first-class
lvnching. This we believe has already
proven to be the case. A few days ago
five or six young men got on the circus
train at some point in Kentucky for the
purpose Of attending the show at the next
town. As soon as the train got in motion
a number Of the circus men drew revolv-
ers. made the men hand over their money,
watches, &c, and then forced them to
lump from the rapidly moving train They
were all badly injured, some Of them being
crippled for life. The rniians were caught,
recognized. and we since learn. were
promptly lynched. Thisisas it shonld be,
and if the people will take to lynching all
these thieves, gamblers, murderers and
outragers Of women who make mp a part
Of almost every circus company, II VIII
soon put q stop 10 their business.

The hunting season will soon open, in
fact has already commenced with some OF
our sportsmen, and some Of our farmers
are complaining Of the reckless manner in
which many of the hunters are shooting,
especially through the woods, often endan-
gering human life, as we'll as the stock in
the fields. 1t is just this kind Of careless,
selfish conduct on the part of a few that
has caused 50 many Of our farmers to post
their lands and forbid all hunting over it,.
Our real sportsmen should watch such fell
lows and help to bring them to justice.

News from Hawkinstown.

As our town has been stirred up by the
music of both bands from Edinburg, it is
more than likely that the old town is be-
coming place of note, at least some Of
the members Of the democratic band must
think 80, as two Of its members paid our
place visit on Sunday after the rePubli-
can band was here, and on Saturday even
ing last the same two gentlemen put in
their appearance again. Said they came
10 see who it was that had made remarks
in regard 10 their leader playing three
parts; said they guessed it was some Of
Ed's lies; but after being told that the
remark was made by several men Of this
place, who knew what they we're talking
about, they said few words in an under
tone to the Capt. of the town, and he said
all right, III 60 along, and away they
went over to one Of the chief cornerstones
of this section, for --- well, you can guess,

Mr.. John Peer, one Of our well known
carpenters, made narrow escape from
serious if not fatal injury on Tuesday last.
He was working on a large stable now in
course Of erection at the Geary Hotel, in
this place, and at the close Of work in the
evening be started TO descend from the
roof on ladder with both hands full Of
tools, and when about Is feet from the
ground one of the rounds Of the ladder
turned under bis feet, throwing him a
complete sOmmersaalt, he alighting square,
" upon his head. Although somewhat
bruised and shaken up, he received no
serious hurt and was again at work the
following day. The "Senator" says he
went through too many tight places dur
ing the war TO be killed now by little
fall from q ladder, but the boys all say
that be owe his safety to the exceeding
hardness of his head, and in the language
Of the immortal Andy Wright, "you can
never kill him in the head"

The Agricultural Bureaus report for August indicates that the country is to have very large aggregate of crops this year. The cotton and corn crops will be the largest ever grown. The Bureau estimates our wheat crop at 357,000,000 bushels, which, though smaller than last year, is very much more than we can possibly consume. There has been an unusual amount of dispute respecting the prospects of the wheat crop, and the dispute is kept up though the wheat has all been har. vested. We may take comfort in noticing, however, that the worst pes simists give us 300,0OO,0OO bushels; and this country is too large to be made unhappy by trifing difference of 57,000,000 bushels of wheat. The unhappy element in the matter is a suspicion that somebody has told lies in the interest of hls investments in grain.
