John Carlson, a sectipn employe on the

rious accidnnt last Sunday about noon.
In company with one or two frionds lie
was crossing the railroad bridge at Hick

and fell, and although he caught on the
ties, was unable to regain the top of the
trestle and dropped to the ground, a dis
tance of about 18 feet. His companions
conveyed him to his boarding house at
Endeavor, and Dr. Will Morrow was
called. He found the man's back was
Very seriously injured, the ligaments on
one aide near the small of the back being
fractured, though tho spinal cord was in

surgical relief, and is satisfied that tbe
injury will not prove fatal, and believes

We have heard of the boy who wanted
to eat his cake and keep it too, but never
before of a business man who sold his

Vick's Garden and Floral Guido is cer
tainly an artistic work, with its twenty
four pages lithographed in colors, and
nearly one hundred moro pages filled

ables aud homes. Whilo tne Guide is re
ally too expensivo to give away, they
give it with a duo bill for 25 cents worth

feature is the doing away with the o d

A ew Insane Asylum.
Dr. Towler, Forest county's Represent
ative in the legislature, has introduced a
bill providing for the erection of a new
insane asylum for the State, of which bill
the Phila. Inquirer has this to say :
"In the matter of Pennsylvania inter
ests the Inquirer recognizes no geograph
ical lines. Its object is the Common
wealth. Therefore it is inclined to say
that tho bill providing for the construc
tion of an insane asylum in the central
district of the State -that is, somewhere
iu Clearfield, Clinton, Center, Indiana,
Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon, Potter, Ly
coming. Sothersct or Bedford is a wise
bill and should be passed. Possibly it
may bo urged that Tioga should send her
insane to Warren, but the asylum at that
place is already overcrowded, and, at
any rate, the proposed district is com
pact and contiguous. The present Legis
lature must take some steps to relieve
the congested conditions of all the asy
lums. It has been suggested that one of
the proposed Institutions should be lo
cated in the anthracite region, which now
has no asylum, and that proposal also
seems fair. Speedy relief is imperative
ly necessary. But, as we said befo'ro, the
location of the new asylums is not the
vital question. A healthful site must, of
course, be chosen, but it is the asylums
that are neened, not the favoring of one
county or another.
