A Boy’s Sad Fate.

Boys should never play on the grain in elevator bins, especially when the grain is moving out or likely to be started. Many a death has occured by that means, and the latest of such was one day last week, at Leßoy, in Lake county. Charles Love, a 13-years* old son of-James Love, a prominent citizen and a commissionerelect of Lake county, was the victim. He was playing in a bin of shelled corn, while the grain was running out, and was drawn down under the corn and suffocated. It was a most sad accident, and came to a family which had suffered many previous afflictions.
