The town of Xew Washington, in this county,
was thrown into a state of excitement on Sat
urday the 22d. At about 11 o'clock, a large
board kiln, belonging to John Cunimings took
lire, it is supposed, from the stove pipe, near
the roof, and before it was discovered the fire
had made such progress that there was no
chance of saving the boards, which were being
dried for a new School house. The accident
will probably prevent the completion or the
school-house this fall. The kiln was close by
the store house of Cunimings & Mehafiuy and
a house occupied by Mr. Henry Jieff, Jr., which
were protected by the active exertions of the
citizens.
Sekious Accident. TVe regret to learn that
blaster Miles Tate, son of Win. Tate, ot Law
rence tp., met with a serious accident on last
Sunday morning on his way to church. He
was riding a young and somewhat fiery horse,
which becoming frightened at the hoisting of
an umbrella, threw , his rider and kicked him
on the head, wounding him severely, but we
understand, not dangerously. Medical atten
dance Was immediately called, and the lad is
in a lair way of recovery. Republican, Jug. 2.G.

E"Thcy are having a strange trial of a

candidate, for Governor. It also abuses Wil
mot, and any person with three grains of com
mon sense onght to be able to see that its ob
ject is to withdraw votes from Wilmot, and in
that way help Packer. Every vote that Ha
zlchurst gets, is one less for Packer to "over
come. We trust that uota man in onr county
will be green and foolish enough to be m':sled
into his support by any falsehoods which the
"News" may circulate ? but that every honest
