SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—WESLEY FRANCE, of
Auburn, Susquehanna county, by the accidental
discharge of his gun when going out hunting, one
day last week, was seriously wounded in the arm
—the bullet entering in front midway between the
elbow and shoulder, passing through and coming
out back of the latter. The nature of the wound
renders the loss of the arm probable, but there
are hopes it can be saved. Dr. LATHROP, of Mont
rose, was called to attend the case.
KICKED BY A HORSE. —Our fellow towns
man, NELSON FISH, on Wednesday hist, was kicked
by his horse, being struck on the forehead, and
rendering him perfectly unconscious for several
days, but we are happy to learn however, that he
is now improving, though slowly, and that hopes
are entertained of his ultimate recovery.— Troy
Times.
EXTENSION OF THE CHENANGO CANAL. —At a
late session of the Canal Board, in Albany, the
subject of the extension of the Chenango Canal
was among the subjects considered. At the sug
gestion of State Engineer WA. B. TAYLOR, the pro
posed plans allowing its extension to twenty miles
south of Binghamton, were duly legalized. The
Board further directed that the ten miles south of
Binghamton be immediately leased ; the lease to
include the excavation and other improvements.
Consumers of coal will, of course be greatly bene
fitted by the much-needed extension.
BURGLARY IN GREAT BEND. —The store of T.
D. EST.YBROOK, at Great Bend, was broken open
about 2 o'clock of the morning of the 25th of May.
The safe was blown open with powder and robbed
of about S2OO in cash, besides a good many notes
which were done up iu packages so that the thieves
probably thought they were money. There was a
package containing 8500 in cash in the safe which
the thieves did not see. The burglars got in the
rear of the building through a window, made their
way through two doors by unscrewing the catch of
the lock at one door and cutting through and tak
ing out the bar of the other. They used tools,
which were found in the store, to open the safe af
ter they had blown oil' the outside plate of the door.
As they went past the cigar drawer they took some
out and left the drawer open. There were sounds
heard when the explosion took place but they who
heard them did not get up as nothing was heard
afterwards.
ACCIDENT ON TIIE ERIE—MAN KILLED. —The
Cincinnati Express, at 6:37, Tuesday morning,
when about two miles below Owego, ran into a
Stock train, killing one brakeman of tbe freight,
and wounding another. The brakeman who was
killed was caught between two freight cars and
crushed to death. His name was TANNERY, resid
ing in Waverly. The baggage and two passenger
cars of the Cincinnati were broken up so that they
had to be abandoned ; but no passengers were in
jured excepting one whose face was slightly scratch
ed. The Cincinnati did not reach Binghamton un
til about half past eleven.
The cause of the accident was as follows : The
Stock train was behind time, and was running to
Owego, its regular place for allowing the Cincin
nati to pass ; the duty of the conductor of the
freight train was upon finding out he would not
reach Owego in time, to put off a flag-man to warn
the express, which he knew would be just behind
his train. This he did not do ; but the Cincinnati
coming up suddenly around a curve, ran into the
stock before the express had time to greatly check
its speed. So early in the morning (5 :38 A. M. )the
rails were wet with dew, which would delay the
stock and render it more difficult for the express to
check its speed.
7-30 LOAN— 3D SERIES. —The First Nation
al Bank is now selling the Third Series of this very
popular Loan. It is due July 15th, 1868, and is
issued in notes of the usual denominations—
sso SI 00
SSOO SIOOO.
Bearing interest at the rate of 2 cents per day on
every $100! The Government reserving the right
of paying the amount in Gold at the rate of six per
cent, per annum.
The notes will be dated July 15, and the interest
will be paid to the purchaser in advance up to that
time at the rate of SEVEN AND THREE-TENTHS PEII
CENT.
This is the last Loan the Government will make
bearing so high a rate of interest, and as it will
undoubtedly all be taken in a very short time, it
becomes every one who has the money to secure
the investment as soon as possible. Its freedom
from all state, county and town taxes ; its perfect
safety ; and being exchangeable for the famous 5-
20 Bonds, make it, like, the former Series, the
most desirable Loan offered by the Government.

ford county, Pa. For fifteen years she was a con
sistent professor of Christianity. Her last illness
was brief, and her departure, unexpected ; but the
summons did not find her unprepared. She lived
in possession of the hope of eternal life, and died
in full assurance of its realization. "Blessed are

BLROEB&— At Point Lookout, Md., on the 6th
ol March, 1865, Edwin P. Burgess, aged 20 years.
The deceased was the only son of William C. and
Marretta Burgess, of Springfield. He enlisted in
the service of hie country, June 35, 1864, being in
Battery D, U. S. Artillery. He was detailed as
clerk and sent to Fort Hamilton, where he remained
for some time, and joined his battery near the Wel
don railroad, Nov. 16th. His health failing, he
was sent to City Point hospital, and afterwards to
Point Lookout, the place of his death.
He was a young man of more than ordinary
promise, and the pride of his parents and relatives.
He had been liberally educated and gave every in
dication of realizing the anticipations of his friends,
but has fallen a victim to disease, adding another
to that glorious list of martyrs whose lives have
preserved the liberties of the country.
His remains were brought to Springfield for final
interment, and deposited in the grave amidst the
profound sorrow of a sympathizing neighborhood.
NICHOLS. -At Leltaysville, May 29, Luraett, only
Daughter of Asa and Harriet Nichols, aged 14
years.
Our young friend had long been marked by the
fell destroyer, consumption, for his prey ; and for
many weary months she lingered under his influ
ence, with a patience and resignation marvelous
for one so young. Remarkable for her mental
precocity while in health, this was more strikingly
exemplified as she neared the end of Ufa's journey;
evincing as she did, an intelligence and consider
ation far beyond her years. She talked with the
utmost familiarity about dying, and made all the
arrangements for her funeral, making choice of
place of burial, her grave dress, hymns to be sung
Ac., with all the particularity of a person arrang
ing for taking a journey. She took a cheerful view
of the future, and chided her sorrowing friends
when they seemed by their tears to think other
wise. The members of the M. E. Sabbath School,
(of which she was a member,) in order to show fit
ting respect to her remains, on the occassion of
her interment, formed in mournful procession, and
sung those hymns, which youthful voices alone can
sing so sweetly. But Lury has passed on before.
Her life's short day is ended. With a "good hope
through grace," she has entered into rest, wishing
her sorrowing friends, and her young associates to
meet her on the evergreen shores of the better
land. "Not lost but gone before." COM.
