united with the Christian Church at Bethel, Ohio.

Hence, she had made very commendable progress in music, in painting, and in a goodly number of poetical productions, several of which have been published in one of our leading religious journals. The bereavement of her fond parents and many friends is most severe, but is tempered by the hope of meeting again in the better land. J.H.L.

Although reaching the advance age of 72 years, Mrs. Applegate prepared the sumptuous dinner to which all did ample justice, and as they departed all wished them many more anniversaries.


New Richmond

The funny club meets next Thursday, February 7, at G.W. Fetter's. This club consists of old maids only.

The Kennelly girls, on Center Street, saw a bold robbery last Friday night about 12 o'clock on the porch of the house adjoining them. Nothing was obtained by the robber, as he had picked a man like himseW-penniless. They could not ascertain who the parties were, but think they both reside in town.

As we were taking a walk the other day, we noticed a thing about our town that has been neglected for to, these many days. We thought that council might pass an ordinance compelling people to keep the pavements surrounding their property clear of grass and dirt, and rake all leaves and rubbish from the grass between the pavements and the street. Just think, any family has one or two men about, and by three or four hours' labor could clean everything about and around the place, and be good for them instead of loafing. Allow no ashes to be stacked in the street. Have them put in alleys: if no alley is convenient, put in a barrel and have the street commissioner to call and haul them off. By doing this, we could have one of the prettiest towns in the State. Reader, if you are interested in your town, and its looks, talk this matter to your neighbors and they will all get interested and we will have this prophesy fulfilled.


13 February 1889

The sudden disappearance of E.B. Cheney, the drummer, at Ripley several days ago is still a profound mystery. As yet, there has not been the slightest clue as to his whereabouts. Posters are out otlèring a liberal reward for his body.

20 February 1899

New Richmond

A number of the friends of Miss Mary Davis assembled at her home, on Walnut Street, in honor of her nineteenth birthday. While all were in the front room having a good time, footsteps were heard in the adjoining room, and thinking it was Mrs. Davis, nothing was thought of it until time for refreshments came and all were ready to cut the cake (which was a very fine one), when it was discovered that the cake had disappeared, and nobody could explain where it had gone. Then they remembered the noise that was heard earlier in the evening. Some started out in search of the thief, knowing it to have been done for a joke, and with the assistance of some gentlemen on Front Street, were able to Ketchuni in a store not far away. It was in the "wee sma' hours" of the morning when the guests departed, all thanking Miss Mary for an evening well spent and thoroughly enjoyed.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT!

A Bell Falls From Its Hanging Place, Killing
One Man Almost Instantly and Severely
Wounding Two Others
The Scene of the Terrible Calamity at Summit School-Rouse, About Two Miles From Batavia

During the winter months for the past few years there has been conducted at Summit school-house, in this township, what is usually termed a country lyceum. It has been the custom of the society to meet on Saturday night of each week. The school-house is situated upon the Batavia and Williamsburg Pike about two miles east of the former place.

Last Saturday night the society met at the appointed hour, but many of the participants in the exercises being absent, it adjourned about 8 o'clock. Immediately upon adjournment the audience commenced leaving the room. Placed upon the front of the building and just above the vestibule was a bell weighing about one hundred and eighty pounds. Most of the audience had made their exit and were standing in front of the school-house, when some of the boys, while going out, commenced pulling the bell rope. Finally, someone gave the rope a terrific jerk, causing the bell to bounce from the frame in which it was fastened and to fall over the front of the building to the ground below.

In falling, the bell struck William Wacker upon the head, producing a frightful and fatal wound, completely crushing his skull, rendering him totally unconscious, from which he never recovered.

The wheel of the bell struck G.W.M. Mount and Spahr Kidd, producing ugly scalp wounds and otherwise injuring them. Mr. Mount is a man about fifty years of age and quite delicate physically, while Spahr Kidd is a young man about twenty years of age, a son of Joseph Kidd, Sr.

residence of G.W.M. Mount near by and medical aid was summoned. Young Wacker was too severely injured to be benefitted by medical assistance, and died at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. The death of Wacker is peculiarly sad from the fact that he was the only support of a widowed mother, whose husband, Henry Wacker, died only a few months ago from the effects of a kick which he received from a horse. The mother is almost frantic with grief and is to be pitied in her sad affliction. Wacker's remains were removed to the residence of his mother Sunday morning, and the funeral, which was indeed a sad one, took place Tuesday morning. Interment in Citizen's Cemetery, Batavia. It is said of hun that he was a model young man and had he been spared until Sunday he had intended to unite with the M.E. Church at Afton, at which place a protracted meeting has been going on for the last few weeks.

Mr. Mount, although thought at first to be dangerously injured, is rapidly recovering.

Kidd, however, is not doing so well and his friends fear that he may not recover from his injuries, which are more serious than Mount's. That the others escaped from injury or death is almost miraculous, for they were all standing in front of the school-house when the bell came down. The accident has cast a feeling of gloom and sadness over the entire neighborhood, especially over the members of the lyceum with whom young Wacker was a great favorite.

The accident was unnecessary and uncalled for and had the bell been properly secured in its frame, or had the Young Americas not been so anxious to display their smartness it would never have occurred. It should be an impressive warning to young men in the future and should cause many to abandon their thoughtless, reckless habits.

The immediate neighborhood has been peculiarly afflicted with fatal and serious accidents in the past. We recall fourteen that have occurred within a mile of Summit school-house in the past and present. They are as follows: James Hulick, killed by a tree falling upon him; John Glancy, killed while loading saw-logs; Mrs. Devine, killed from the effects of injuries received from a ram; Mark Kidd, kicked by a horse and killed; John Maham, burned to death; a Mr. Curlis, killed by a man by the name of McCollwm; Henry Wacker, killed by being kicked by a horse; William Wacker, killed by a bell falling upon him; John Howard, shot through the wrist; Oliver Hulick had his arm torn off by a threshing machine; Win. Atchley had his leg almost cut off by a mowing machine; Dick Atchley, thrown from a horse and severely injured; Spahr Kidd, injured by a bell; G.W.M. Mount, injured by a bell. The neighborhood has certainly had its share of fatal calamities.

A REMARKABLE EVENT

Sixtieth Marriage Anniversary Of Mr.
And Mrs. Charles Hill, Of Belfast,
Ohio, Celebrated
A Notable Occasion In Clermont's History
All But One Of The Parties Present Who Attended
The Wedding Three Score Years Ago

Silver and gold weddings are of frequent occurrence, but it is not often that husband and wife live to enjoy their sixtieth marriage anniversary, which might be properly called, perhaps, their diamond wedding. Sixty years is a long period for a couple to travel the rough and rugged road of life together. But Ohio is a wonderful state, and Clermont a famous county, and in furnishing this event to the civilized world she certainly has a right to take a just pride. If any State or county can make a better showing in celebrating an event of this kind let it come to the front, for such occurrences are exceedingly rare. In this day of sudden deaths and slippery divorces it is seldom that man and wife live to enjoy their fiftieth marriage anniversary. So far as the experience and observation of the writer extends we publish below the celebration of a most happy event which beats the record, and we challenge any county in the State or in the United States to make a better showing. (continued in next column)

On Friday, May 3, 1889, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hill of Belfast, 0., celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage. Mr. Charles Hill and Miss Rebecca Hand were united in marriage May 3, 1829, by Moses Elstun, J.P., who although ninety years of age and living near Lawrenceburg, md., was present and helped to celebrate the event with as much vim and vigor as he could possibly have manifested sixty years ago.

All the parties present at the wedding are still living, and all but one was in attendance upon the happy occasion. The absent member of the company was Mrs. Mary Cox, a sister of the bride, now residing in the State of Arkansas. This is certainly a remarkable case of the longevity of life.

There were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hill six sons and six daughters, five sons and five daughters of whom are still living and all were present.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Hill have reached the advanced age of four score, he being 81 and she 79, and having lived semi-pioneer lives, and having passed through many trials and hardships unknown to the present generation, they are remarkably well preserved. He has scarcely a gray hair in his head, while his wife, although quite gray, stands as erect and walks with step almost as elastic as when a blushing maiden of only sixteen.

This event has two-fold significance, for ten years ago, at the golden wedding of this aged couple, Mr. William E. Motsinger, and Miss Rebecca Hill, a daughter, were united in marriage.

Besides the immediate members of the family, there were present Mr. Ezra Williams, who has passed the four score mark; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hill of Belfast; Mr. and Mrs. Hezekiah Hill, of Craver; Mr. and Mrs. Sanford, Milford; and Rev. Glascock and wife, of Milford.

After a sumptuous dinner, to which all did ample justice, speeches were made by Moses Elstun, Thomas Hill, Mr. Sanford, and Rev.s Hill and Glascock. Then all repaired to the lawn, where an artist was in readiness, and photographed the assembly in a group. After singing "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again," all departed for their respective homes, hoping that Father and Mother Hill may be permitted to live to celebrate many more returns of their marriage anniversary.
