Accident at Miller's Creek.

A fall of slate at the Miller's

above Paintsyille. injured Mr.. La
yiers, capitalist OF New York,
last Friday afternoon. Mr.. Laviers,
In company with j. G. C. Mayo, j.

was inspecting the mines at Mil
ler's Creek when the slate fell, re-
sulting in the injuries above stated.
o. & b. s. train No. 80 was at
Paintsyille at the time of the ac-
cident, and backed up to Miller's
Creek, a distance of about six
miles. The injured man was placed
aboard and taken to Huntington and
placed in hospital An examina-
ton showed that Mr.. Laviers had
suffered Injuries of the most serious
and distressing character. He was
sitting astride piece OF timber
when the slate fell upon him, and
was almost split in two. 1t is said
that his recovery is almost hope
less.

was introduced about 610 A. d..
when the old heather Pantheon was
oonseerated on the 18th of March,
to Mary and all the martyrs but the
real festival of All Saints was first
regularly instituted by Gregory w.
In S35, and appointed to be cele-
brated on the first of November.
1t was admitted into England
about $40. The choice to the day
was doubtless determined by the
fact that November 1st, or rather
the eve or night preceding it. was
one of the four great Festivals.
February ist, May list, August LIST
and November 1st of the heather
nations of the North; for it
was the policy of the Church to
supplant heathen by Christian OBJ
servances.
Halloween, the name popularly
given to the eve or vigil of All
hallows or Festivals of All Saints
which being the 1st of November,
Halloween is the evening of the
Slst of October. In England it was
long customary to crack nuts. duck
for apples in a tub of water. and
perform other harmless fireside
revelries.
While the same thing can be said
OF Scotland the Halloween ceremon-
les of that country partook more of
superstitious character, taking
among rustics the form of charm
to discover who should be his or
her partner for life. These customs
are now almost exploded.
1t will be seen from perusal of
the foregoing that the observance or
celebration OF Halloween is changed
greatly since it was begun in Amer
lea, and not for the better. The
pranks incident to the day, or
night, are no longer innocent and
harmless. Like the celebration OIL
st. Valentines day it is too often
made an occasion for scurrilous
placards or the sending of malicious
missives.
