cident which which recently befell an in
| teresting young daughter of Mr.. Jos. Glib
son, on the f. II. Griffith farm, below Dix
onville. Two little girls, aged and :
! years, were playing, when the elder got
| hold OF u scythe ana tried To NOV, and In
| some manner she struck her little sister on
| the legs, cutting both limbs In a horrible
| manner. The leaders of one leg were en-
| tlrely severed at the knee and those in the
| other cut, not entirely of. Grave fears
\ are entertained that the child will be a
] cripple all her life.-Nartosl Q3,didna Coz

| Jacob May. farmer residing eight
| miles from Bedford, met with a terrible
death on Sunday night. Nays wife had
been visiting during the day and her hus-
|
| riage- He was ready 10 start, when he
| thought he had better see II everything
was all right in the house. He took his
lantern with him and being subject to
| epileptic fits the supposition is that he was
taken with fit and ia falling 60 the floor

house. When found his legs and arms
were burned TO crisp. The house and
contents were entirely destroyed.
The Pittsburg Dispateh says that IL is
stated on good authority that the South
| Fork Branch Railroad will shortly be ex
tended to Bedford. Engineers are now at
work surveying the route. When bnilt the
road from South Fork to Bedford would
not be more than forty-fve miles long,
aad would bring that section OF the State
AT tleast one hundred miles closer 70 Pitts
burg. AT present Bedford is reached from
! this city by way of the connection from Hun
tingcon. There isn't much doubt bat that
| the Pennsylva MIA intends to build the
Road. The line wouid open up and devel
op rich territory that hitherto has
lacked railroad facilities.
