A Sad Accident,

y SAT- accident happened al the Wooden
Mill at Mast Madison Friday afternoon,
which resulted in the death of Charlie

the mill which wa~ used as a finishing

over an extractor which was making
about thousand revolutions a minute
While here he called to a boy near him to
SEE him do some little trick or expert
mcnt with the machine. when he either
lost his balance or was drawn by the
strong draft created by the extractor and
fell head first into the swiftly revolving
machine. He was instantly removed and
taken out upon the platform near the Dye
House DR. Farnham was called and in
few minutes was beside the manglcd and
unconscious young man. Everything
was done that medical skill could sngg. 81
but all efforts were in vain and he died in
little over an hour after he WINS taken to
ncighboring housc. His right arm was
broken near the shoulder and the elbow
dislocated. His face and head were
bruised badly though no fracture of the
skull was found. \ cut two inches long
in the chin exposed the jaw bone and was
closed with stitches He had a bruise
over the right temple which indicated
severe blow The cause of his death
however was from concussion Of the
brain. The rapid revolutions OF the ma

with sufficient force to causc complete

This week we send q short sketch
of the life of our departed sister, Hick-
sy Lowery, wife of ]. N. Lowery.
She was born March Goth, 1881, died
Nov. 18th, 1886, age So years, Z months
and II days. She was a member of
the church of Christ more than thirty
years, and was devoted christian;
her hands were ever open and ready
to administer to the wants of the
needy. She was dutiful and loving
wife, a tender and affectionate moth
er, and was loved by all who knew
her. She bore her Affections with
christian resignation, and when the
summons came, she was ready. The
funeral services were held at Salem
church, by the writer, in the pres
ence of a large concourse of friends
and weeping relatives. May God
help us all to press on, that we may
meet again in the "sweet bye and
bye" where death never comes.
At the protracted meeting at Green
Hill, held a few days ago, by Elder
Stewart of the Baptist church, Mr..
Rowland Goodson, an aged citizen, of
this community, professed faith in
the Son of God and united with the
above mentioned church. This will
no doubt be good news tohis relatives
and friends at q distance.
Elder f. C. Preston, of Woodbury.,

Proprietary Medicines.

A visit to DR.. Green's Laboratory,
at Woodbury., n. j., has considerably
changed our views, and especially
our prejudices in regard to what are
generally known as STANDARD Pat
ent Medicines" OF course we are
getting to that age in life when we
are forced to conclude Life itself is a
humbug, and naturally distrust any
thing that has not withstood
long and tried experiences. Being a
physician l had the curiosity to know
how such a sale of'two medical pre-
parations could be sustained for 80
many years. The perfect system up
on which the business is conducted,
and the pharmaceutical arrangements
for the manufacture of the two re-
cipes with which we were made ac-
quainted, are sufficiently convincing
to us that the August Flower, for
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints, and
Boschee's German Syrup, for Throat
and Lung Troubles, were for the
complaints they are recommended,
most excellent remedies, and only
regret that in much Of our practice,
medical ethics prevent us from pre-
scribing them without making the
formulas public. When we were
shown the great quantity of Involuntary
letters having been forwarded DIR.
Green, from all darts of the country,
and from all classes of people, law
yers, ministers and doctors, giving a
description of their ailments, testi-
monials of their cures, etc, l feel
like endorsing DIR. Green's suggestion
that the Government accept such
valuable formulas, and license them
for general use by giving protection
to the inventor sameas patents gen
orally. Copied from n. Y. Druggists

but the Philadelphia lawyer who
tried to bride a democratic clerk in
the treasury department at Washing
ton is convinced now that he is not
very sharp. This Philadelphia law
yer wishes to find out some of the
secrets of the department, and offered
to pay for the information-the clerk
refused to betray his trust, and had
the lawyer arrested for attempted
bribery. The only excuse he had to
offer was that he had not been in

BAD Fx.-A young man, who claims to
belong to tho Swiss aristocracy, has been
sentenced in Chicago to sixty days impris-
onment in the county Jail. The prisoner,
who Is nineteen years old, has told his law
yers that his father holds high govern
ment position in bis native land. He led a
wild life in his native town, and came to
this country two years ago in company with
an actress. So long as she played success
full engagements he lived high. One day
they parted. He came to Chicago and, as
q last resort, hired out to a farmer near the
city. A few weeks ago, Joseph took a pair
of trowsers and $40 from the farmer. He
says the farmer owed him $2.40, and that he
did not intend to take as much as $40. He
acknowledged the theft. but says he was in
toxicated when he took the money. His
father has sent him money, with message
of forgiveness, and when his term is out he
will 20 back to Switzerland.
