 | A painful accident happened to MT. Lem l Arnold, the venerable father of our towns
 man, l. J. Arnold, Tuesday evening. Mir. | Arnold had harnessed horse to a wagon, | and by mistake put collar on the horse

 wagon with him, and strange to say, was | unhurt. The many friends of the wounded | man sympathiZe with him in his painful | illness, and hope he will soon be up.-
