[extractions of local interest]

        The Marshal has issued notices, ordering all persons having wood
     lying in the street, to pile the same or pay a fine in consequence.

        When the ladies are about to retire and wish to hunt fleas, they
     will do well to drop the curtain, and then there will be no use of the
     man of the house using a revolver on, on lookers-on.

        Jas. Monaghan was tried before Justice Stout last week, for assault
     upon Constable Crowley. Fined $10 and costs.

        Thos. Ryan was arrested last week, on complaint of his wife, for
     assault and battery, but the case was put over till to-day, when it
     will be brought up before Justice Stout for hearing.

        BURGLARY - On Monday night some rascal entered the house of Geo. W.
     Hawkins, on the north side, and stole a watch, four shirts, and $75.00
     in money. The same night one of our citicens (sic) chased a man in his
     stocking feet, about a quarter of a mile, but lost sight of him on
     Water street.

                               ACCIDENTS:

        Last Thursday C. Burrell had his foot badly crushed by a sledge
     slipping from the handle, at Barlow's mill, and he was taken to the
     office of Dr. Wilkinson, where the foot was properly dressed, and is
     now doing as well as can be expected.
        Last Thursday two boys were playing with an axe, when one of them
     cut off two of the fingers of his companion, Alfred Beryo. Dr. Roe was
     called, and it was found necessary to amputate one of the fingers.
        Last Saturday Mrs. Hawley, living some eleven or twelve miles in
     the country, while out with some of the other members of the family,
     to gather berries, Mrs. H., against the advice of others, having taken
     a shot gun with her, and as she attempted to get through a fence, the
     hammer of the gun caught on something, discharging, and lodging the
     whole contents of the gun in her face, inflicting a dangerous wound.
     Part of the lower and upper jaws was shot away and one eye put out,
     some of the shot passing out back of the ear, and others lodging near
     the eye. Dr. Roe was called upon, and he sought the assistance of Dr.
     McTavish, who dressed the wound, and the patient is now in a pre-
     carious condition, lying at the house of J. A. Case, in this city,
     where all is being done that can be to relieve the sufferer.

        On Tuesday afternoon, as Peter Mason, who was employed in Luce's
     mill, was cutting up slabs, he got too near the large cog-wheels, and
     his pants caught and he was drawn into the cogs, which tore his left
     leg in a frightful manner. The wound was dressed by Dr. McTavish, and
     it is hoped the unfortunate man will soon be about again.

        Andrew Rust, while at Gilchrist's mill, on Tuesday, slipped and
     injured his leg so that it was necessary to carry him home.
