Mrs. James Cutlery, an aged lady
living with her husband at West Amwell
rolling mill, near Elkton, was qrt" Te-
verely injured on Saturday morning last,
by receiving pistol ball in her thigh.
1t appears that Mrs. Culleny was making
her sons bed, and the revolver was UNI
der the pillow, which she pulled off the
bed, carrying the pistol with it, which
exploded, on striking the floor, causing
an ugly flesh wound. The doctor prob
cd for the ball, but, was unable to find
it.
Fall is here, and as summer some
days since was laid on the bier, not
voice was heard in lamentatiOn or regret.
All people are truly glad that the swelter-
ing days are gone and their foreheads
that were 80 shortly since wet with per-
spiration and their blood that boiled
in their veins is now cooled down TO a
desirable temperature. More work will
be done-less money spent. The days

rather ungracefully rolled off, and the
horse went home at rapid gait The
young lady thinking it best TO ride on
and inform the folks at home that the
young man was not injured, started oil
at brisk gait, and had not gone very far
before the girth of the saddle broke and
she met the same fate as the young man
The couple enjoyed the walk home very
much, but would preferred to have rid.

Camp meetings are about all over
The not-long-since thickly swarmed
groves are empty. The chirpers and
, hooting owl are again at peace, the solu
tude is alone broken by them and the
sweet songs of the whip-poor-will. The
shouts of glory and praises have died
away and the echo's therefrom are
heard no more. The rude board homes
have been demolished, and the white
canvas that glistened under the rays o
the sun that penetrated the leafy bowe

gentle breezcs blew, has been furled ant
laid away carefully for future days. Al
