--Miss Angeline CASE is lying very low at his writing. It is hopes she will
soon recover.
--A few weeks ago the people of the surrounding country were shocked at the
horrible scene which presented itself at the little Saline creek. The body of
an infant was found in this creek, almost decomposed, but the garments in
which it was wrapped in identified it as being the off spring of Lizzie
BLACKMAN. She was immediately arrested, (after the corner’s jury gave their
verdict) and taken to Harrisburg, where she is awaiting trial. The general
impression is that she, Lizzie is guilty and will doubtless be punished
accordingly. This is only one of the many thousand crimes of this character of
which almost nine tenths of them go unpunished. We hope this thing will be
ferretted and the guilty party punished.

NOTICE*
    It is rumored around through the country that I did a few days ago,
give a certain lady medicine for the purpose of producing an abortion, which I
do emphatically say is false. I would just say that the man who started it
would have enough to do,  if he would just attend to his own business. W.J.
RIDGEWAY, Druggist. May 1st, 1878.

--An interesting game of base ball was played last Saturday evening between
nines chosen from the Corinth and Marion  boys. Among the boys from Corinth
were Henry MITCHELL, Felix STEWART, Frank PEASE, Mr. SHERERTZ, and one or two
others whose names we did not learn. They are all among the most pleasant and
sociable young gentlemen we have become acquainted with in Williamson county,
are excellent ball players, and we hope to meet them oftener hereafter.
--Tamaroa, Ill., May 13*A sad calamity occurred this evening at 5 o’clock when
the boiler at Cox’s coal mines at this place exploded, instantly killing John

member of the town council; also wounding three small boys who were playing
around the engine, two of whom have since died. A piece of the debris stuck
P.WHITE, the superintendent, and cut a hole in his hat, not injuring him. The
boiler was blown about one hundred and fifty feet. The damages were estimated
at $2,000. [Mr. WILLOUGHBY, the assistant engineer spoken of above, was well
known in Marion, being a nephew of Mrs. W.N. MITCHELL, and cousin to Deputy

his untimely death is deeply deplored.]
