A thrilling accident occurred Sunday last at
Brunswick. this county. in which two young
| men narrowly escaped with their lives. They
drove near the tracks OF the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad just as two freight trains came
| along. Their horse became unmanageable
and they sprang out of the buggy to hold his
| head, when he broke away from them and
dashed onto the tracks. He was caught be-
tween the two trains and his head severed from
his body.
| There is trouble in the congregation Of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church at Mildetown,
| this county, from which interesting results are
expected. Some time ago the Rev. z. Berg
| stresser. d. D., who has been pastor OF tine
charge for several years, rendered his resigna-
! ton to take effect in October next. Since then
! the Rev. Bergstresser's name has been I'M
| favorably connected with inv suit OF
several years ago by which the church
obtained SO! re property. Sunday ne announced
| from his pulpit the withdrawal of his resigna-
| ton, but the congregation had arranged to
| hold a meeting Monday 70 take action upon it.
! and his withdrawal of the resignation cid not
! deter them from carrying out their intention.
No definite action was taken i'll the matter,
however.

The fire which started over a week ago in
