The road was well taken up with vehicles returning from the show, and these two ladies occupied a buggy by themselves, Reaching the dam at Vai- entine’s they tried to pass some of the rigs in front of theirs and drove too close to the brink of the dam, and likely by mismanagement of the lines, horse, buggy and occupants, went over the bank Beezer - - COLD empties into the dam. The depth of the water is abont 12 feet at this point. Luckily there were many otherson the road, who at once hurried to the rescue, and Miss Brisbin was about sinking for the third time, when she was reached. Miss Rishel was also rescued before sink- ng. The hats, wraps of the ladies and the robes floated off, but were also obtained. The horse swam out, leaving the buggy badly used up. The ladies were taken toa house, close by and cared for, and no doubt will long member the chilling effects of the gpring water and their narrow escape We believe no further serious results have followed this cold bath, as the young ladies are able to be about again, - THE FOURTH TICKET. in Wednesday afternoon members of the Union Labor party met in the Court House and put a county ticket the field, which is as follows Associate Judge, J.

Last week the bottom to the potato As high as 65 and 70 cents were offered farmers, and in consequence thousands of bushels were shipped from this valley. Agents busily canvassed all parts of the valley up, much to the benefit of the farmer. ut so many were bought up that dealers were soon overstocked and the “wild bunt” for potatoes wilted, bringing down prices. Some farmers thinking that prices would go still higher, would notsell, and may thereby have lost their oppor- tunity. At the outset of the “campaign” potatoes sold for 40 cents per bushel, WO ——— PHILIPSBURG'S LIQUOR BILL. We are told that the keepers of bars in Philipsburg, this county, recently agreed to keep an account of the income at those places for liquor sold, during one month and that the sum total showed the amount thus spent footed up $1500. This is a handsome sum of money to drop in that way in a town of 3000 population, Philipsburg isa bright town, and being ina bituminous coal centre, has a large mining population within a circle of ten miles, which seeks that town fora trade ing point, hence much of the money spent of liquor comes from the miners. rss A Mf RAVAGEDBY TYPHOID FEVER 48%, Detroit, Oct. 17.—Iron Mountain, a prosperous village in Menoninee county, near the Wisconsin border, has been nearly Supopulated by typhoid fever.
