Serious Accident.

Joseph Groom, living about three and one-half miles northeast of this place, near the iron bridge, met with a sad misfortune last Saturday afternoon. W bile driving home from town the horses scared at something and started to run, when to his dismay the lines broke, giving the horses full sway. Then 'a single-tree broke, and that caused the tongue to drop to the ground, which overturned the buggy, throwing Mr. Groom out and breaking both bones of his right leg, between the ankle and knee. Dr. Alter was called and set the injured bones and at present the patient is doing nicely.

According to Prof. Hicks, we will have the following kinds of weather for November: “About the 2d and 3d, look for higher temperature and secondary storm movements. The 7th to 11th is a marked storm period during and about which, suffering and loss on land and sea will result, where foresight and care are not exercised. Snow and sleet to the north. A severe cold wave will spread over the country, lasting up to reactionary days, on and touching 14th and 15th. The 19th to 23d is the next regular storm period. It is near the center of a Venus period, and may be counted on for violent storms of wind, rain and snow. Thunder and lightning south. See if you do not hear of disasters on the seas—ships wrecked and lives lost. A very cold wave up to the 25th and 26th. Month ’."’th winter wind
