On last Saturday afternoon Mr.. David
c. Cline, who resides near Timbervile,
met with Serious accident. He was
feeding fodder crusher, run by steam,
when the fingers of his left glove "a new
one) caught in the spikes, which drew in
his hand and arm, crushing and tearing
it TO small pieces, nearly to the elbow.
Realizing his situation at once, Mr.. c.
braced his right hand against the machine
and by great effort pulled his left arm
ont, leaving, however, from near the
elbow Of it in the crusher. Fortunately at
the time be was in his shirt sleeves, the
goods easily tearing otherwise, with his
scrong coat on the accident may have
been of far more serious character. Mr..
Cline walked to his home and physicians
amputated his arm just below the elbow.

This is the season Of the year when one
has only to look at the greasy counte-
nance Of his neighbor to be reminded that
the time Is at hand whom the porker re-
hnquishes his hold on life and entereth
into hams, shoulders, back bones, spare
ribs. pudding, sausage, pom boss aud
lard. In fact the average citizen is just
smiling an over. Ho has killed ms big
hog and it out-weighed his neighbors.-
During the last two weeks number OF
fine fellows have been killed in this place.
Blr. Robert Cahoon was the first one TO
butcher large hogs, lie killed two last
week, the larger weighing i3i aud the
smaller 400 pounds. Mr.. William Dosh,
ST., few days later killed three that
averaged 1853 pounds each. Yet these
were still to ba excelled. For several
weeks there has been some speculation as
to which bad the largest porkers, hr.
Robert Anderson or Mr.. John Hoshour-
Last Monday they butchered, Mr. Auder-
sons carrying of the laurels. He had two,
one weighing 476 and the other iOl, while
Mr.. Hoshour's weighed 40, ili and 32O
pounds respectively. Major J. W. Ma
gruder killed two very fine hogs last
Tuesday. We were unable to ascertain
their correct weight On the same day
his brother, Mr.. p. W. MagTuder butch
cred three mammoth fellows. We were
not informed as to what stock they be
longed, but 1t is said they arc Of the same
family as Mr.. Anderson's. The entire
weight of the three was $40 pounds. The
difference in weight Of these gentlemen's
swine has caused some heated discussions
The general belief is that Mr.. AS hogs
were fed some Republican corn which
caused the difference. Among the persons
vet to kill is Mr.. Jacob Shockey, who has
several splen did pork ers which he intends
to butcher in the near future. Everybody
should take look at these fellows as
it is really worth twenty-mile trip
to see them.

The damage was estimated at about S2J
and will be paid by an insurance company.
Some one brought the news TO town and
the fire department turned out, but the
apparatus was pulled down the pike a
short distance when they concluded they
could not reach the scene in time 10 be
Of any service, and brought the engine
