Egg Hill, south of this place, has been burning for several days, the fire having started near Spring Mills and is traveling westward, clearing up both sides as it goes and will stop only after reaching the end of the mountain, about a mile above, At nightit is a grand sight to behold.

The a break-neck speed for several rods when the wagon wheel struck a post, tuarn- od over and was badly wrecked, Mr. Medical! aid was summoned immediate ly. The injuries consisted of a deep | gash in his right leg, above the knee, nal injuries from the wheels passing over his breast. Although im a precarious coudition, he was taken to his home where he is improving as well as could be expected. We were sorry to hear that our good friend Cyrus should have such a misfor- tane befall him, and especially after hav- ing passed through a long siege of sick- ness, this spring. CONDUCTOR KILLED. Freight conductor Duprynne was killed at Swengel, on Saturday, 5, whileshifting cars. The eogine was on the main track, and a car to be shifted stood on the switch; he grabbed a plank and held it against this car so the engine could approach and move against the other end and thus start the car to where it was wanted. Unfortunately the strain upon the plank was so great as to cause it to bend and fasten Duprynne against the freight car, crushiog his ribs and causing such other internal injuries that he expired next moroing. Duprynpe was an Italian, and had been on our road a long time. He was an obliging and well mannered gentleman, liked by all. He was brought to this country when a small boy, under the padr system. stolen from his native land and put out here to travel with an organ grinder. Some years ago he and two other Italian boys got into a freight wreck at Renovo, in which his two com- panions were killed and himself severely injured. He was placed in the railroad company’s hospital at the above place for treatment, and sahsequently becam an employe of the road, and by his good behaviour was promoted, abouta year ago, as freight conductor on the between Moantandon and Bellefonte. He was boried at Lewisburg, and was aged about 35 years. 8 ne - ly , SERIOUS LOSS BY FIRE. The large bank barn owned by Mich- eal Confer, on the farm adjoining the property of Jno, A.
