Bart Holmes of Melvin informs us that a boy was killed on the Sullivant farm Tuesday, by a team running away with him.
John Hummel and O. D. Sackett shipped a carload of hogs from this place last Monday which weighed 16,240(?). Among the number was one belonging to Mr. Hummel that weighed 710 pounds.
A week ago last Tuesday, a son of W. R. Kennedy, while assisting his father in hauling straw, was thrown from the load and impaled upon a pitch fork, one of the tines of which entered his abdomen on the right side, running completely through him.  It was at best, thought he was fatally injured, but his father informs us that he is so far recovered as to be able to assist in husking corn.
