Michael Ringerson of near McCoysburg, while driving ter town Saturday, his team became scared at some burning leaves near Wash Lowman’s and started to run.

George Davisson has rented his farm in Union tp., to Wesley Price and with his son Clyde will follow dredging for the next year. His and Clyde’s families will remain on the farm for awhile yet to look after the stock, etc., and after his sale, which will take place some time next month, will join them at Havanna, 111., where they have a contract to complete for John Hack, the Lowell dredge man, that will take some five or sit months. After completing this job they will return to Indiana and work on contracts here. little Rosenbaum boy, meation of whose injury was briefly made in these columns last week —the accident occurring as we were about to go to press—was operated on Saturday and the piece of broken skull raised from off the brain He is now reported doing very well at present writing, and it is thought he will recover. It seems the boy, in company with a little son of Harley Sheilds, was playing in the barn in the rear of the Sheilds bouse, in which Bert Goff’s horse was stabled.\ He ran up behind the horse to pick up a stick and the horse kicked him square in the forehead, crushing in theakull with the cork on the shoeAThe other boy ran for assistance/lnd he was picked up from near the horse’s heels and taken home, where he lay unconscious until the next day. Quite a number'of town people drove out Sunday to see what progress the big Sternberg dredge was making on the Iroquois ditch. About two miles of the main ditch has now been cut and the dredge is a short distance north of the Grooms bridge, which it will probably reach in about two weeks. Progress will be a little slow just above* the bridge owing to the grove of timber through which the course of the ditch passes and the number of trees that must be removed. The dredge is pounding away with both a day and night force and will be able to make better progress after passing tbe Grooms bridge. It has now been at work about three months, and if able to work all through the winter, which it is expected to do, it will still be early summer before it reaches Rensselaer.
