their buggy at the head of Old street
this evening, and the former was pain
fully injured. The young ladies came to
the city to attend to some shopping. and
had started on their return home, when
the accident occurred AS they were driv-
ing down Canal street, which has a sharp
descent at that point the harness-breecf-
ing broke, and the buggy, running against
the horse, caused the animal to dash off.
AT the juncture of Old street the vehicle
was overturned and both ladies were
thrown to the ground Miss Nellie es-
capped with few bruises, but her sister
Miss Annie. was not SO fortunate. In
falling, her head struck and she sustained
a fracture of the skull. The young ladies
received immediate attention from the
people of the vicinity, and a physician
was summoned. They were taken to the
Home for the Sick, both suffering from
the severe shock. A careful examination
by DR.. McIlwaine OF Miss Annie's injuries
developed the skull fracture. the result
of which cannot now be foretold. The
young lady is getting along favorably.
and trepanning may not be necessary.
She is entirely conscious. From the ma
ture OF the accident the escape OF both
ladies' from death or terrible injuries is
considered providential.

when people expected to get up nice
Thanksgiving dinner with cheap groc-
cries purchased at a cheap grocery
store, where everything Lad the appear

otherwise. II fair was held during
the day at Paternity hall and the ladies

greater part of their wares, all of which
were useful as well as lastly made
articles. In the evening an entertain

that place was filed to overlooking
with spectators. We cannot go into
details in giving an account Of the rem
dition of the program on account Of its
lengthiness, suffice to say, however,
that it was exceptionally well presented
and made deep impression on the
audience considering the length Of time
spent in rehearsals In respect to a
visitor, however, we will mention the
number of Miss Gross, of Stevens Point
who sang two pieces, one being an en-
core Miss Gross is a graduate of the
Chicago Musical college and has a
voice Of exquisite sweetness, with
powers Of great range. She manifested
cultivation OF her talents that betok-

niece Of Henry Gross Of this city, and

the latter.
