The complete schedule ot the National League Rase Rail games for 1898, issued by the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Ry. is a very handy book for lovers of our national game.

The ten-year old son of Hand Grayhill of near Richfield was caught by a circular saw hist week and was vcrv badly cut in the arm and shoulder. The arm was all lacerated and the pain was so severe that it caused the boy's death. The remains of the lioy were buried Sim dny. The lad is a nephew of E. C. Grayhill and Mrs. Jacob Gilbert of this place. A very scions eonllagration was narrowly avcru-d in which at least the Post printing ollice and the stable adjoining it would have been entirely consumed on Tuesday after noon. The 'engine ro-mi was all ablaze, the (lames shooting opto the ceiling, much beyond the power ot a bucket brigade to extinguish, but the fortunate presence ot a small chemical lire extinguisher purchased from the York Chemical Co. last summer came to - our rescue. The charge had been in the extinguisher since last summer but the little "animal" did its work and hence we have a right to term it the ''Hero ot the Hour."
