Cambria County Items - Michael M'Mahon, a coal miner, who resides in 
Cambria City, was badly injured week before last by the premature 
discharge of a blast in one of the company's coal mines.
  Daniel Lysett, of Cambria City, met a rather severe accident on 
Thursday last. He was driving a horse, attached to a wagon, along the 
hill at Rhey's Furnace, when, getting too near the edge of the 
embankment, horse, wagon and driver fell over. Lysett received a severe 
but not dangerous neotusion on the back of the head, completely 
loosening the scalp.
