Lyttleton Lyon and son perished on the steamer Nellie Stevens, which burned on ("adds Lake, lied River, on last Friday night. Mr. Lyon was well known to many of our citizens, having resided in this place some years ago. Sixty-three lives Jwere lost on the steamer. J. Harry Ilutton, who has been auc tioneering at the Regulator's, for some weeks has taken out license, and is now prepared to cry all kiuds of sales at the shortest notice. Harry is a reg ular "Cheap John" on an auction.— Give him a call. ADMITTED.— W. C. Schaffer, 8. B. Lysinger and IJ. 8. Elliott, Esqs., were admitted to practice in the several courts of this county, last week. We ui.derstand they passed a very credita ble examination. They are a trio of deserving young men, and we know they will meet the success they merit, wherever they may see fit to hang out their shingles. WE call attention to the proceedings of the Railroad meeting held last week. Some parties have made hand some subscriptions, and it now remains for others to go and do likewise. If we ever want a raiiroad to this place, we must be in earnest and help our selves to it. Now is a good time to do it. So, friends of the road, keep the ball rolling. A DIRECT ANSWER.— During the tri al of an assault and battery case, at our court, last week, the following collo quy between a learned lawyer and an unsophisticated urchin, took place: Lawyer. Did you see defendant strike plaintiff. Witness. Yes, sir. Lawyer. Did he strike him with violence ? Witness. (Very deliberately) No, sir ; he struck him with his Jixt ! Of course this "brought down" the house but the youth "didn't see it." ■ ' ■ FATAL ACCIDENT.— On last Thurs day, as Mr. Frederick Hertz and his brother Martin, of Cumberland Val ley, were in the woods spliting rails, an accident befel the former, which, we are sorry to learn, has since proved fatal. The facts as we got them are these: The two brothers were work ing at a log on the side of a hill. By some means the log was set in motion and commenced rolling down the hill. Fn deriek being on the lower side, saw Jus danger and endeavored to jump out of the way but in attempting to do so, slipped and fell, the piece of timber striking his arm and lodging on his neck. He was conveyed home, and Drs. Watson and Anderson, of this p);u:e, were sent for to give medical aid to the unfortunate man. but little iiope was entertained of his recovery. His body, from the shoulders down, was completely paralyzed, while his' jnind to the last, was as clear as ever, lie lingered, with but little pain, till Sunday night, when he expired. A wife and two small children are left to mourn his untimely death. THE FIRST CASE.— "Ye local" was palled upon, last week, to witness the frial of a cause iu which two newly made lawyers were concerned for the prosecution. The young members of fhe bar had everything their own way. The austere demeanor qf their oppon ents, 7 though complaining of ailments {o which they were accustomed, availed them not. Jn fact the defendants were struck dumb by the skillful manner in which they were handled by the young members aforesaid. The sympathy of the audience was against them, and ev ery one present "went for them" with a gusto that was refreshing to behold. The verdict was unanimously in favor of the lawyers, lint hearken to the se ptet. YY hen the whole ipatter was cast up, it was found that the inexperi enced practitioners were in fur the costs! Of such is the glorious uncertainty of the law. We resolved to quit this scene—this "feast of reason and flow of soul"—and washing down our bivalves ith ;; liqnjtj froip gpftd uJd M-tUn ty of Berks, and muttering a short pe. titlon for the diciples of Blaekstone, we departed, leaving a friend, who had outdone himself by his classic elo quence, master of the situation. And further deponent saith not.
