Burned by an ExnlOsiOu

Mr.. d. Z. McQuay, of Gist P. O., was Sc
verely burned about the face and hands on
Wednesday last by the explosion of boxing
of melted ''Babbitt," which he was preparing
for use about some of his machinery. He
states that he had melted kettle of the metal
and poured it into the boxing around the
shaft, when it suddenly exploded, throwing
the melted substance all over him. His left
eye was severely injured and he may lose the
sight of it. A portion of his moustache came
out by the roots and it was necessary to cut off
the balance. Mahon Bower. a German
Blower Doctor, was called and blowed the
parts which were burned, and on Thursday
Mr.. McQuay said he experienced no pain from
the burns except in his eye.
DIR. f. D.. Cronk, of Winfield, was also
called and rendered other necessary surgical
aid. Mr.. McQuay says he can advance no
theory for the accident as he had often used
the material IN like manner that he was
using it this time.

There is now pending before committees any

that the Republicans are under pecuniary OBJ

That Berry Crop.
For the Democratic Advocate.

MEssRs. EDITORS The writer has noticed
in the two previous issues of your paper very
peculiar circumstance regarding the 'berry
crop of the vicinity of Berret. The greatest
mystery, he said, was that it lasted the year
round, which was very peculiar in that sec
ton, and supposed that, that accounted for
there being SO many visiting pickers from the
neighboring communities. The correspon-
dent has no doubt been deceived in the fruit
as TO its annual foliage. The greatest mys-
terry, however, is that the fair and delicious
fruit has been planted on productive soil,
consequently the sons" allnring ray's are
advancing too rapid in the northern heavens
for success, and the anticipated crop that has
cheered up the melancholy hearts will soon
lie transferred TO more preceptornal CLINE
where the midnight ''son'' never shines, but
when the refreshing dew will give new life
and vigor once again to the crop that has
chvalrously been eradicated from the Berret
soil where the large number of insatiate
pickers have assembled, only to return with a
sad, dismal heart from the vacated patch that
once presented all the luxures that the human
heart could pass. BILL.
