A few days before Christmas Mr.: john

farmer. had the misfortune to suffer a
double fracture of one Of his legs. He
was getting wood and a tree fell before
he could get out of its way. The trunk
struck his leg and broke it. This is the
limb, besides cutting his knee open anu
MASKING his feet so badly that he could
neither work nor walk for months. Since
this last mentioned occurrence there are

A distressing accident. befell the wife
of Mr.. Hensley, living at Rondabush, in
this county. Mrs. Hensley was several
weeks ago thrown from a horse. which
caused her to become insane. She was
SO dangerous that confinement in the
county Jail was necessary for the security
of her several small children. She has
since been taken to the asylum.

A shooting match recently took place
at Molen Lambs where ten gobblers
were put up. Two of these were won by
two brothers, Quint and Justin Yowell,
who used magazine guns. 10
In addition to the marriages reported
