Serious Accident.

On Monday morning Mrs. Henry P. Mas
sey residing on the Kenton road three milel
west of this town met with very serious
accident, the full effect Of which cannot b.
determined. She was up stairs attending
TO her household duties and in descending 6
back stairs which were without banisters OF
railing, by some means she lost her footing
and fell from the turn in the stairs to the
bottom. When found she was lying there
unable to help herself. DR.. Dwight was
sent for and on examination found the back
had sustained the greater injury, the most
alarming thing being that the body was
paralyzed from the chest down and devoid
of sensation or feeling. 1t cannot yet be
determined whether the back is broken OF
the loss ofsensation is the result Of concus-
sion Of the spinal cord. I: is to be hoped
the latter, in any event it is q serious affair
to Mrs. Massey Times

The House was in session only two
days last week, and is not likely to put
in any more time this week. In fact,
there is nothing for it to do except to
pass a resolution to adjourn, but as
that would help to pull the Republi-
can Senate out of the hole into which
it has gotten, the House seems to be
in no hurry about it.
Chief Justice Fuller, during his first
week, made a marked impression on
the large number of distinguished law
yers in attendance upon the sessions OF
the Supreme Court, by his digniied
bearing and manners.

himself true to the doctrines preached

ticket. However much we may deery
the manner, or oppose the methods Of
the gentleman referred to, we cannot
