Mi=s Clara Hoffman's dress took fire ' from some burning papers, in the yard of G. A. Rees on Institute hill, and she was badly burned. Chas. Sarver fell from the t-caffolding of a new house in Lincoln Way, a few days ago and fractured one of his ankles. Leslie Irwin of Institute Hill had a [ leg injured by the explosion of a keg of powder, last week. * The worst railroad accident that hap pened last week, was on the Grand Trank R. R. in Canada. An express train, 1 tinning at 50 miles an hour, through a blinding tnow storm, crashed into a freight: the passenger cars were telescoped, aud twentv-eight people were killed, and thirty-two injured. Zero weather, people pinned in the wreck, and a fire that was put out by gathering snow, adde.l to the horror of the scene. Hugh Conley's boy aged about 5 years swallowed a double pointed tack or staple a few days ago and as yet the tack has caused him no pain or trouble. Some months ago a son Will Bort mas of Duffytown, swallowed a round tin whistle, big as a silver dollar and it went through. Our doctors are notified almost every ! day of children swallowing marbles aud pieces of money. CHURCH NOTES.
