The Morning Patriot states that the proceedings are in equity to restrain defendants from capturing, taking up, or in any way interfering with logs afloat on the Susquehanna river, examiners were appointed to take testimony. This Is a case in which millions of dollars is involved. The question to he decided is one of great importance to lumber dealers from "the head waters of the Susquehanna to the bay. This suit involves the constitutionality of an act of Assembly giving the owners of lands upon which loose logs may float fifty cents a log, if redeemed within sixty days; If not, they are forfeited to the owners of the land. For plaintigh, Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, Hon. Wm. M. Meredith and Charles A. Mayer, Esq. For defendants, Robert A. Lumberton, Samuel G. Thompson, John C. Kunkel and A. J. Herr, Esqrs. MATTERS IN THE LOWER END.—We clip the following items from the Oxford Press : Several of our farmers commenced cut ting their grass on Saturday last. On the Octoraro hills the music of the mower could be heard on various farms. The crop Is very heavy. Moses Brinton, of Colerain township, Lancaster county, a few days ago, brought to our office several exceedingly tall stocks of rye, the tallest of which measured eight feet six inches. lie stated that when In his rye patch he had to get on a stump to see out. Good for Coleraln. During the storm on Thursday last, the 'lightning struck the house of Isaac Fields, Sen., In New Texas, Lancaster county, and set the building on fire. The fire was ex tinguished by the neighbors. Some of the Inmates were stunned by the electric cur rent. A man named Cain, driver of James Y. Smith's team was run over by his wagon, loaded with 75 t ushels of lime, in Colorain townsbrp, on Monday Inst. Two wheels passed over his body and injured him very severely. He was taken to the residence of Mows hrinton, where he lies in a critical eonditlon. RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.—As Henry and ib..mas Rakestraw, of Colerain township, I. , neaster county, and Emmor Morrison, Upper Oxford, wore returning from the commencement exorcise of Lincoln Uni• versify, on the 17th inst., their mule took fright and could not be stopped, even with all their efforts combined. A Sudden Jerk of the buggy, in going over a crossing and into a gutter, dislodged Emmor, who fortu nately alighted upon his foot and was saved from injury ; Thomas soon followed, and struck a wheel, which bruised nn arm quite severely; and Henry, who was driving, came out last and worst, for ho fell upon his head and shoulders, end it Is thought the wagon passed over him. He was taken tip insensible of what had happened and what was passing about him, :Lust at this time Dr. Nichols Lapp d along, and ex amined the wounded and ,ronounced them not dangerously injured. Henry recovered his senses in a short din , and the Doctor conveyed him to the house of Sohn Bush ong, where he received everything noces• eary to his comfort. The front axle of the buggy was broken. Tho mule is but two years old, and that was Its first trip in sin gle harness. It was stopped abotit a hum drod yards from where it left its load, by the lines entangling in and winding around ono of the wheels.—Oxford Press. SAD ACCIDENT.- .On Monday afternoon last, about sh o'clock, Tommy Welsh, a little fellow aged about four years, son of Michael Welsh of Columbia was ruu over by the cars, near the old depot, at the head of Front Street in that borough. A freight train was standing upon the track, and Tommy was impatient to cross over, and attempted to cruwl through under the cars, and while so doing, the cars started, pass ing over his abdomen, and almost severing his body. His sister, a few years older, at tempted to rescue him, and had the end of one of her toes cut off. The little fellow was moved to his father's residence, and medi cal aid summoned. He lived but a couple of hours after the occurrence: An inquest was held by Deputy .Coroner Evans, and a verdict rendered in accord ance with the above facts. This is another sad warning to parents about leaving their children play around the railroad.—Herald.
