dred
-Delbert Aiken Of Warwick, has
his track in excellent condition, and
proposes having a series Of races dur
ing the summer and autumn.
- William Rothwell Of Middletown,

- For sixty-four dollars paid IN,
George w. Peterson of this place on
Saturday received check for one
hundred dollars from the Order OF
The Shield, of Baltimore, Md: This
is one of the few orders that with
stood the " wreck" short time ago.
Three other gentlemen OF Middle

= VIM. R. Cochran, Esq, residing
near town, lost two valuable thor
oughbred heifers by poison last week
and three more are very i'll from the
same cause. The poison used was
paris green, and was administered by
some miscrea ant who desired to be re-
venged, evidently for some fanc1ed IN
jury, as the empty can was found in
the lot. Mr.. Cochran has no suspicion
whatever concerning the guilty par
ties and cannot imagine why any one
should have committed such a das-
tardly deed, if it was done intention
ally.
= Howard Blanchfield, lad IL
years of age, was seriously injured
while climbing cherry tree on Sun
day afternoon last. He missed his
footing and fell on a sharp limb,
causing him to suffer very painful
injury. With the assistance of some
of his friends he was enabled to walk
home. DR.. I. s. Vallandigham was
at once summoned and found it
necessary to take eleven stitches in
the wound to close it up. The lad
is doing as well now as might be
hoped for, but his injury is serious
one and causes him to suffer much
pain.
- The peach convention held in
the Opera House under the auspices
of the Middletown Board of Trade
last Thursday afternoon was very
much of success, and the Board are
are to be congratulated upon the ex-
cellent manner in which the affair
was carried out. During the last
week letters have been received by
the secretary of that body from all
over the country asking that a report
OF the meeting be sent them, that
they may see what action was taken
and just what was done. The re-
suits of the convention cannot fail to
be of great benefit to the fruit grow
ers as well as the business men of the
community.
-O One Of the most remarkable
cases of poisoning we have ever heard
Of is that of Homer Paynter, the 8.
year-old son of Martin Paynter, of
this town. About one week ago the
boys face began to show symptoms Of
poisoning and commenced swelling.
Several remedies were tried to pre-
vent it, but the swelling continued
some time before stopping, and then
his face was in such condition as to
make him hardly recognizable
After the swelling went down the
affected part become very sore and is
at present in this condition, causing
him much discomfort. Not even the
softest piece of muslin can be
allowed on the place without causing
him great pain.
