old son of Mr.. t. M. Head, of our
city police force, had the misfortune,
while playing on hand car on the
A. & N. G. road, near this city
Saturday afternoon, to fall off and
IN some way run the Car over him
gelf, causing some very se1iops, If
not fatal injuries. At last accounts
he was getting along as we'll as could
be expected.

Bizzell Bros. & Co., has just return

Northern trip. He took in the
Chicago National Democratic Con-

man." and, of course, it is needless
to say that he is rejoiced that Grover

he observed closely the signs of the
times on his travels. and he is assur-
ed that Cleveland is our next Presi-

ham, paid our city brief visit in
search of irf,rmation as to the best
method of making brick. Mr.. Steele
is brick manufacturer, and is now
visiting the various brick yards of
the State and will adopt any plan
that he recognizes as being superior
TO the one he is now using, He says
he :'would rather make the best
brick in the State tt~n be Presi-
dtnt". We have no doubt but what
he will do it.
IT is with exceeding regret that
we chronicle the accidental drown

mill pond, New Hope township, one

equal age were fishing. They had
gotten into boat and padded out
into the pond, when by some mad
vertency the boat was capsized, re-
sulting in the drowning of Ransom,
who was bright and promising
boy. The afflicted parents have the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM

80 suddenly befallen them.
