An Unusual Accident.
Near Sergeant station on the P. & E.
R. R. five miles from Kane, about 0
o'clock last Friday morning, June 24,
there occurred an accident of a
peculiar and unusual nature by which
William Boyle, an unmarried man
aged about 35 years received severe in
juries. He was felling a gigantic
hemlock, the first tree of his days
work ; as it toppled to the fall he
stepped back a few paces out of harm's
way. A few steps hack of where he
stood was a beech of perhaps a foot
in diameter. Witiiout warning, and
without apparent cause, the beech
fell in the same direction of tbe hem
lock, crushing the unfortunate man to
the earth. Whether tbe wide spread
ing branches of the hemlock were in
terwoven with those of the beech, or
whether the concussion caused it to
fall is not known, but that it did fall
without apparent cause as before
stated, is a fact. The falling beech
struck the man on the right shoulder;
he also received Injuries on the right
hip besides being badly shaken up on
general principles. A convenient log
broke the force of tbe tree's fall aud
prevented him from being crushed
beyond recognition. He remained
conscious during the whole time, and
when some companions endeavored
to pull him out be told them to desist
when he felt a limb of the tree tearing
his shirt and the flesh with it. The
tree was cut and the man extricated,
when he was carried out of the woods,
put on tbe cars and brought to the
Thayer House at this place where he
now is, suffering great pain from his
injuries. A man of powerful frame
aud vigorous constitution he will no
doubt In a few weeks fully recover
from tbe effects of his adventure. To
an Advocate reporter he said It
seemed as though every bone in his
body was broken. He has worked in
the woods here and at Driftwood for
three or four years past, and is well
known by many people here who fully
sympathise with him iu his affliction
Lightning at Wilcox.
Tuesday night, during the terrlfio
storm which prevailed about ten
o'clock, J. L. Murphy's barn, at Wil
cox, was struck by lightniug, a valua
blo horse killed and another so
severely shocked that it can scarcely
move. The barn was silvered in
nearly all parts.
Lightulng also struck the Railroad
section house near Bridgetown, tear
ing great boles through the roof, and
gable ends, making kindling wood of
boards,etc. Eleven persons were in the
house aud strange to say no one was
hurt. Pete.
More of the Comet.
Hanover, N. II., June 27. Observa
tions taken at Dartmouth observatory
last night show that the comet was
moving to a point approximating Ave
degrees from the Pole star, Its motion
being about three degrees a day. At
its lower culmination It was approxi
mating ten degrees from the horizon.
As seen through a ninety-inch glass
the comet was very clearly defined,
being circular on one side and fading
away on the other. Behind the
nucleus there was a dark spot. The
comet itself passed over and nearly
covered an eighth magnitude star,
making a beautiful sight. The form
of the comet could be very clealy seen
with a two or three inch, objective
The comet is less than a minute of an
arc in width and about a minute and
a half in length.

cleus AND ITS DISTANCE MFKO
THE EARTH.
Albany, N. Y., June 27. The great
comet was plainly visible here all last
night, aud Interesting observations
were made at the Dudley observatory.
Prof. Boss said this morning that this
is unquestionably the same comet seen
by Gould from South America. At 2
o'clock A. M. to-day the diameter of
the nucleus was estimated at seven
seconds, and, supposing the comet to
be distant 45,000,000 of miles, which
is probably not far from the truth, this
would make the diameter of the nu
cleus about 15,000 miles, or a little
smaller than the moon. The tail was
visible at 2 o'clock for a distance of
forty degrees.

The Weather of 1810
(I'hlladolphla Press.)
A correspondent asks us to reprint
the following from the Sunday Dis
patch of a few years ago :
Birmingham. "Was tho summer,
spring and autumn of the year 1816 so
cold that no grass, grain or vegetation
were produced. Is it true that there
was snow and frost at Intervals during
those eeasons of that year? Has there
been any year since, this century, that
has been f o cold ns the nliove men
tioned? I of course . allude to tbe
States of New Jersey and Pennsylva
nia." Substantially, this question
must be answered in the affirmative.
Iu April, 1818, ice and riiow destroyed
all the buds and almost every green
thing. In May buds and small fruit
were frozen upon the trees and bushes.
Corn was replanted two or three times
and very little of it came to perfection.
In June there were severe frosts
several times. Every green herb was
killed, vegetables of every kind much
Injured and all kinds of fruit had pre
viously been destroyed. On the Ctii
of July there was ice as thick as window-glass
in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and all states north and east of
them. Indian corn was chilled and
withered. The grass was so much in
jured by repeated frosts that the cat
tle would scarcely eat It. In the be
ginning of August there was ice half
an Inch thick. The corn was frozen
and rotted and every green thing was
destroyed. This wits tho case not only
iu the United States but in Europe.
An English newspaper said: "It will
ever be remembered by tho present
generation that 1816 was the year in
which there was no summer."

Runaway Accident at Wilcox.
Thursday, June 23 1881, while out
driving on the pike cast of Wilcox, be
hind a skittish team of young horses,
Mrs. Latta, daughter of Hon. J. L.
Brown, aud child, Miss Looniis, and
Phin Ernbout's little girl, m.et ;with
an accident that under less favorable
circumstances might have proved fa
tal to the entire party. While going
down a long bill the horses became
frightened at some calves that jumped
up at tbe side of the road, and dashed
down tbe steep incline at a fearful rate
of speed. Tbe horses rau some dis
tance when the entire party were
thrown with great violence to the
ground. Continuing at full speed
they ran into the village of Wilcox
having only the forward wheels of the
buggy bitched to theiu. Their ap
pearance created a wild excitement
among the people of the village who
rushed in great numbers in the direc
tion the team came from expecting to
find the occupants of the buggy either
dashed to pieces or seriously injured.
On arriving at the scene of the disas
ter a sad sight met the gaze of the on
lookers. Covered with blood and
dust and with clothes torn the ladies
sat on the ground half unconscious
trying to soothe Mrs. Latta's crying
child. The other child was twenty or
thirty feet away with no one to care for
It. They were taken to the house of
Mr Brown where Drs. Straight and
Ernhout were at once summoned and
did all in their power to alleviate the
sufferings of the unfortunate ladies
and children. Airs. Latta was cut
about the head and face so as to be al
most unrecognizable, one knee badly
injured, and otherwise cut and bruised.
Her child had one leg broken, and
severe cuts and bruises about the head.
Miss Loomis had one ankle spruined
besides being generally bruised and
hurt. The Ernhout child was not
seriously injured but was shaken up
and bruised in a more or less painful
manner. The ladies were unconscious
for some time after being taken to the
bouse, and have no recollections of
anything thut occurred beyond the
fact that the horses ran with break
neck speed down the hill. It appears
by a pool of blood on the ground that
Mrs. Latta lay stunned aud bleeding
in an unconscious state for some time
a short distance from where tbe child
lay. . Partly recovering conscious
ness, however, she, with true motherly
insinct craw lea to tier cnuu ana tried
to soothe its sufferings.

A Losing Joke.
A prominent physician of Pittsburg
said jokingly to a lady patient who
was complaining of her continued ill
health, and his inability to cure her,
"try Hop Bitters!" The lady took It
in earnest and used the Bitters, from
which she obtained permanent health.
She now laughs at the doctor for bis
joke, but he is not so well pleased
with it, as it cost him a good patient.
