August Weight, a farmer living in
Pine township, Porter county, while as
sisted in saving wood on his farm last
Wednesday,, was nearly beheaded by the
bursting of a buzz saw. The horrible
accident was caused by Weight push
ing a stick of wood against the saw,

striking him on the head killing him
instantly.
1t is a peculiar malady that has lately
attacked the venerable editor of the
would.be Independent paper No. 2. OF
late he seems to take delight in calling
attention to some errors made by the
reporter of the INDEPENDENT. We can
assure our critic, that when W. have d.
rected the helm of a newspaper in a
community for forty years, we will have
become so well acquainted with the peo-
pie that their names will appear in
proper shape.
The continual harping by a number
of exchanges regarding the approaching
marriage of ex President Harrison, is
truly obnoxious to all sensible people.
1t surely is his privilege to marry again
if he feels so inclined; and the news
paper that is so partisanly built as
to enter potests, and contemplates this
alliance with holy horror, and thus
declares itself, is not fit to be classed
among respectable Journals. Then
again the editor that gives voice to such
scurrilous articles, in nine cases out of
ten, hasa record that will not bear the
scrutiny of honest men.
Whether the prayers uttered by the
suffering boy at Sturgis, brought
about the wonderful change or not,
Lloyd Church, who for four years past
has been compelled to live in bed while
the bones of his body were turning to
chalk, has met with a miraculous cure.
For ome time past he has lain in a
plaster cast, being unable to move. Last
week he spent an entire night in pray
ing avowlng his intention to serve God
the remaining days of his life if he re-
covered his health. In the morning he
called his mothers attention to Sensa-
tions over his body and on removing the
cast he was found healed.
To day has been about as dreary as
could be prepared for human mortals
Walking down the street at l o'clock
we concluded to count the number OF
teams hitched along the principle
streets We discovered between the
corners of Michigan and Washington
streets and Center street on Laportt
street l72 teams. OF this number Z:
were single rigs. This necessitated the
use of 372 horses. If we would give a
an average, three persons connected
with each rig in that short distance i
would give us SIC people on our street,
from the surrounding country. This
will not more than offset the humble
of people that will come into the cit,
during the latter part of the day, o
those who visited our city previous t.
one o'clock and returned to their homes
Notsuch a bad day after all.
From Mondays Daily.
