Went Coasting in a Wagon.

Wheatfield, Feb. 20. Bora, to the wife of Hannon Clark last Saturday, a girl. Bp by and mother doing well. The M. E. society of this place have purchased a lot in the west part of town on which to build a church. Lumber is being hauled and work commenced immediately Wm. Turner's baby, which has been quite sick is a great deal better, but Mrs. Turner, who is very ill, is but very little better at this writing. Jake Hopper, fireman on No. 20. is quite sick. Art Moon is filling his place. Douglas Clark came very rear loosing his life last week, while helping to move a building for P. E. Davis, by becoming entangled in the ropes in front of the building. He was knocked down and run over by the horse, but not seriously hurt. We understand a party of young folks, who attended church at Dew Drop last Sunday night, while on their way home proposed a skating party, so arriving at the top of a large hill concluded to slide down again. This seemed very amusfng, but would it not be better to take a sled next time and not a lumber wagon.
