"A killing frost is reported on the hills
back from the river yesterday morning.
About the only damage done. however,
is to the corn-fodder, which should have
had at least another week of warm
weather to put it out of harms way. The
buckwheat crop will not be materially
injured by the freeze.

Reports of use-breaking are rife

night but failed to get up stairs. w. J.

| Matthew Elliot of Newtown Mills
met with an accident last Wednesday
which will lay him up for several weeks.
In falling tree near the public road the
tree struck a telegraph pole and knocked
it down. In falling the pole struck Mr..
Elliott on the left arm with such force as
TO fracture one of the bones between the
wrist and elbow. DR.. Detar of Kellett-
vile reduced the fracture, and Mr.. e. is
able to be about, but it will be some time
ere he'can make much use of the injured
member. He, however, considers his
escape from instant death as very lucky,
the pole having missed his head by only
a couple of inches.

pired. 1t is stated that he left a note, hut
its contents had not been divulged at last
accounts. Mrs Brewster, wife of the
deceased, and son, reside at Kellettville,

The road between Tionesta and HiGk-
ory, for many years terror TO travellers
is now about as fine a driveway as you
will encounter in any country. The
"narrows' are again open to the travelling
public, and although by no means as com.
plete as the road commissioners of Hick.
ory intend to make them, are 50 much
} improved as to be scarcely recognized by
their oldest acquaintance. There is nc
place now where loaded teams may no
pass each other with comparative ease
and when once smoothed down the roaC
will be an excellent one, capable of being
, driven over at all times with perfect safe
ty. So the distance between Tionesti
and Hickory, once a dozen miles or more
counting the bad reads, will be shortened
/, to scarcely more than six by the i'm
, proved condition of things.
