NEIGHBORING COUNTIES
MEIGS

Mr. G. W. Richie, of Letart, has sold his place to Captain Thomas Alexander, 
for $2,000.

Capt. Wm. Grayum died at his residence in Cheshire, Monday of last week, of 
kidney disease.

Clinton Decker, son of Wm. Decker of Portland, came near being fatally kicked 
by a horse, recently.

Mr. C. B. Dutton and Captain J. M. Cooper, of Pagetown, died week before last, 
within six hours of each other.

Mr. J. C. Probst, of Pomeroy, recently fell with his left hand against a buzz 
saw at which he was working, cutting off three fingers.

Mr. James H. Wright, a young man of Rutland, while sharpening his scythe, 
accidentally cut one of his fingers nearly off.

Mr. Henry Backus, of Columbia township, had a dog go mad on the 3d inst.  The 
rabid animal was killed before he did any injury.

James March, a salt roller at the Bedford Furnace, had one of his toes cut off 
by the wheel of a car running over his foot, on Monday of last week.

Mr. J.L. Lasley, formerly of Rutland township, and late student in the college 
at Delaware, Ohio, will take charge next year of the Middleport High School.

The wife of Evan Evans, of Syracuse, aged about 50, was taken ill at the supper 
table, on Thursday evening, 15th inst., and went and sat in the door, where she 
suddenly expired.

The cheese factory at Chester is doing quite a large business this summer.  
There are on hand, in process of curing, part of which is ready for market, 
over six thousand pounds of the article. 

Mr. John Hatchie, an employe at the Pomeroy Rolling Mill, was dangerously hurt, 
recently, by falling on an iron pin, breaking one of his ribs and injuring him 
otherwise badly.  About a year ago, he lost two children from accidents.

We can't imagine how an addition to Pomeroy is practicable without the aid of 
an earthquake to first removed the hills with which that town is closely 
environed; but they have got one any how, and it is called "Remington's".

A man named Webb and a woman named Mary L. Rock, with whom he was cohabiting, 
and who live near the mouth of Leading Creek, were recently suspected of fowl 
play with reference to the disappearance of a boy named Wm. Burrell, whom they 
had taken to raise, but it afterwards appeared that the boy had ran away.
