A peculiar accident was met with
this week by Oliver Tucker, whose
home is at Elderville, III. lie wat
climbing a tree, when it split, al
lowing him to drop into the opening,
which closed upon him, crushing
him terribly. One of his eyes was
squeezed from its socket. At last
accounts the unfortunate man was
living, but in a most critical condi.
ton.

MEYER FORGET.

Did you ever think how hard it is
for one to make for himself a good
name, one that even his worst enc
my will not have the hardihood to
question, and on the othelhand how
easily it may be lost i? Years of toll
and patience and care and watchful-
ness are invariably necessary for the
one. A single mistep, just sem
blance of bCbble will bring down
the whole structure. 1t ought to
make men, and especially young
men, very careful and ought to urge
the older ones to be charitable and
not over critical. However, it is the
preservation of our probity. For
when one knows that one bad act
will leave its scar on him forever,
he will be the more careful. Who
can measure the value of an unfair
nished name? How much would
thousands who have lost theirs for
all time give to have it restored to
them?
1t behooves men to guard their
name as zealously as a soldier guards
his sword, never forget it.

PROFANITY.-There is nothing
commendable in this inexcusable
habit that so many men are addicted
to, says the Savannah Local, and
which so units a man for the
society of the refined and respecta
BILE. 1t is a habit that too many
indulge in seemingly unconscious oil
it. We have actually heard men in
conversation use profanity so glib
bly, that almost every half dozen
words were accompanied by words
that were so profane, that it would
bring a blush upon an ordinary
swearer, and yet when you speak to
them about it, and interrupt them
in the disgusting and disgraceful
habit, they seem to be little sur
prised, and would almost be ready
to deny you, when you mention the
fact to them.

Accident ct Campbell Hall.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle gives the following particulars concerning the recent accident on the O. N. B. & w. R. R.:
 There came near being serious acci- dent on the Central New England and Western Railroad, at Campbell Hall, Tuesday morning, Nov. 12. The regu- lar passenger train leaving here over the bridge at 8:55 a. m, was composed of an engine, baggage car, drawing room car and ordinary passenger coach, and there were about the usual number of passengers on board. The train is known as No. 19. When within half a mile of the depot at Campbell Hall, Engineer Lynehan found that the car house switch was open. The train was so close to it, that notwithstanding Lynehan reversed his engine and pulled the throttle wide open, the locomotive dashed into a baggage car of another train ready to move out, and ploughed nearly half way through it. The force was so great that two passenger coaches on the rear of the baggage car wee de- tached and showed through the rear end of the car house into pond. The agent of Adams Express Co.,, John s. Reed, of Canaan, Conn.,, was slightly cut about the knee, but no one else was injured. The engine of the train WAS considerably damaged and the baggage car was partially wrecked.

THAT ROLL OF HONOR. 7"

THAT "RoLL OF HONOR"
 Editor of Ne,cs
 It is suggested that THE NEWS might make . decided hit by re-publishing the "roll of honor," comprising the names of those who, nearly 12 years ago, pledged themselves, "with malice toward none, with charity for all, ," to abstain from strong drink. No doubt all your readers will recall the Murphy movement" which swept the country like . hurricane, and right here in our town enrolled list of several hundred names in the glorious cause. which was printed in THE NEWS at the time, and which embraced all creeds, conditions and nationalities. Many will recall with emotion the spectacle of the aristo- crat and the plebeian going side by side to the altar, followed by the saint hand in hand with the sinner, and the ruby-nosed slave of the Rum Demon being led, weeping, by the pure and artless child-an actuated by the com mon impulse. It was an interesting and memorable period in our local history, and the republication at this time, of that list, could not fail of being attractive. It would afford your readers an opportunity for entertaining employment in speculating on the loca- ton of the signers, both as to present whereabouts and present views and practice touching the temperance ques- ton.
 As "feeler," you might publish the first dozen names in the list, which, if I remember aright, would give an ade- quate idea of the diversity of characters embraced in the whole, and the univer- salty of the temperance sentiment at the time. READER.

SHARON.

Mrs J. R. Bourne has been confined to the house, with rheumatism, for the past four weeks. but at present is thought to be little better. Mrs O. M. Juckett is still on the sick list, also Mrs Grant Wheeler. Fred Loucks, who has been very sick for the past two weeks, is thought to be getting better.
 We have to report another sad acci- dent. Chas. Skiff vile running a threshing machine last Wednesday tried to clean away some straw thad cloged up the machine. He put his hand in to pull out the straw and got caught in the cylinder which literally tore his left hand to pieces. The doctors had to take it off above the wrist MT and Mrs 0. E. Sklff are spending 8 week at s. A. Skiffs.
 If you want to find out how to raise young calves ask John1Platt, Jr., for I think he can give you more informa- tion than anyone else.
 The Western Union Telegraph Go. are erecting new line of poles between this place and Sharon Station.

 George M. Walton and wife spent last week in New York city, shopping. They report everything quiet.
 Ask Frank Cole if he wants driver the next time he goes for ride.
 Clayton M. Card went to New York city last Saturday, He will return home via Poughkeepsie and this time visit his uncle.
 Jacob Benson, of Waterbury, is in town for few days, looking after his business here. He looks as if city life agreed with him.
 James Jenkins, of Unionville, is visiting at Willard Bakers. He used to live in town, but went away some years ago before the new street was put where it is, He says that street is g great improvement to the town. Now my friends and readers, if it is such an improvement to have that road say it will be greater one to have the ones that are proposed. We all want our town to look nlce and to rank first class town. Now then, if you want to boom things, vote to have these roads go through. They will give work to the merchant, the carpenter, the mason the men who loan money, and in fact to all who work for their living. But if you stop these being made you drive all of our young men from here, for they have got to go where they can find something to do. We have lost so many that we cannot afford to lose any more, for who will take the place of us who are older and fast passing out of this world ? Stop and think how fast you are killing the place that we now call Sharon.
 If you wish to know anything about the condition of the road between here and Cornwall Bridge inquire of Drs Knight and Bassett why it was they lost their carriage top when coming home :?
 Miss Sarah Gay died last Wednesday night, in her 63th year. She was buried last Saturday in Hillside cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev J. R. Bourne.
