Master Charles Dore, age II years, OF
Newbold, met with painful accident last
Saturday while coastipg. With a number
Of other boys, he was enjoying the sport,
while suddenly q sled upon which Paul
Kinch was riding, veered from its course
and struck Charley, breaking his leg just
below the hip. After having the broken
limb attended by DR.. Hunter he was sent
to Philadelphia hospital, where he will
be confined for several weeks. It is the
earnest desire OF Charley's young friends,
and the older persons who known him that
be will recover from his injury as rapidly
as possible.
Two or three mischievousboys OF Newbold
are causing the residents considerable an
noyance by their foolish pranks with air
rifles. For several nights during the past

lights for targets, and broke several OF them.

rested and sent to Jail, as the writer car

notice.

which the banquet was served. An

bers early Tuesday morning. They
forced an entrance into the drug store
of Chas. E. Davis, on Broadway, by
