The bridge across the river opposite

The rains Of Saturday night and
early Monday have Just soaked every
thing and we have had such poor
drying weather since that grain is
drying slowly if at all and in some
cases is S]prouting. Stacks of head
ings have been badly blown and may
have to be taken apart to facilitate
drying. Some uncut grain, millet and
heavy grass is badly lodged, so will be
hard to save.
We regret to learn that Mr.. A. M.
Mitchell met with a painful accident
on Monday last, while preparing to
take down a windmill that had been
struck by lightning some time ago.
He fell about 35 feet striking timbers
or bhes way down which evidently
broke his fall, but it is bad enough as
it is, Seven or eight of his front
teeth were loosened or knocked out,
the mouth and throat cut badly, the
lower lip cut through, etc. He re-
NAMED unconscious for how long he
doesn't know before being discovered
by one Of his family. He is still very
sore and swollen about the lead and
shoulders but is doing as well as could
be expected. He bled so freely that
the tissues are not as badly swollen as
they otherwise would be. 1t is re-
markable that no bones were broken.
