IACONDA NOTES.

Mr. Joseph II. Berry severed his connec-
tiom with the shops here on Saturday last.
and will work in one of the city shops.
There appears to be an attraction in this
community for Mr. Henry lSwlu>, of Bow
lusyille, Judging from his frequent visits
here.
At the close of the morning service on
Sabbath, an elderly gentleman united with
the cnurch, who recently moved into the
community.
Thomas Mccormick, whose funeral ser
vices were held on Saturday, was well
known figure in this place. having worked
in the LagUnda shops for about twenty-One
wears His good nature and ready wit was
known to nearly every one in the shop. He
was q carpenter by trade, and faithful,
trusted workman. In 1851 he severed his
connection with the shop here, and worked
in one of the other shops, while health per
mitted.
William \. Mills. a well-knOwn young
man living up the pike east of Lagunda. on
FRIDAY last received his diploma a. a thor
ough graduate of Nelson's college of short
hand in the city. He deserves much credit
and praise for his energy and pluck,
having many difficulties to contend with.
the greatest being the lack of money Il
carry him through. When he began hi
course. many ridiculed him. and predicted
he would never finish and could not learn Il
write. and would. like ST. many others get
discouraged and quit. But this only nerved
Mr. Mills and he determined Ia succeed,
and he has overcome every obstacle and
graduated with h'nor. Not only that. but
he made such rapid progress that for some
months past. he has had charge Of the class
aS instructor. Mr. Willis gave him full
charge while he tthe principap attended Ia
other duties. This is the more surprising.
when We consider that Mr.. Mills /,
one Of the youngest of the
class, and shows the confidence and trust
imposed in him by his principal.
nor is thi, all. for he has recently purchased
"A share in the business of the school, and
will be- the principal instructor and part
of the firm. This certainly shows what
pluck and a determined will can accom-

Part of its Contents.
Albert Smith. the young man from near
South Charleston, who had both his feet -"
badly frozen that amputation was nece~-
sary. committed an act this morning that
came near ending his life About nine
o'clock. while he was lying in his bed toss
ing reStleS>ly from on. side to another his
eye happened to catch bottle standing on
He quickly jerked the bottle while the at
temdant's back was turned. and. pulling
the cork out with his teeth he swallowed
about half of the contents of
the vial The remainder was
spilled all over the mans breast and back,
and his face was completely washed in it.
His tongue and all the inside of his mouth
was horribly burned with the poisonous
fluid The attendent upon hearing gurg-
ling sound turned around. and AZ soon as
the bottle was seen. was quickly jerked
from the maniaral patients grasp. Cod
water and everything that would have a
cooling effect was administered. until DIR.

man in a most sickening condition. writhing
and tossing with pain. upIates had
