The particulars.^ as we learn them, are as follows: The team was standing in the .field, hitched to the reaper, and beingr troubled by the file* were quarreling and biting. Mr. Whiting, who was In the field, went to 'hem. and.succeeded in getting hold of one line, when they started to run. Adelbert then attempted to .seize them by the head, when he was knocked down by the pole and the machine fun over him, tearing the muscles from his arm, and cutting several serere gashes in his hip and tlti^r^t. Fortunately no bones were injured. Dr. Anderson was called, who dressed the wounds, and at the time of writing he is getting along y «<>ll as could be expected. fx)n t! that W. G.

We had the good fortune nwMonday to get just such a piece. It Was a full cream made at the dairy farm of J. N. Mason, of Keystone, near Richmond, and it WHS in fact the finest cheese that we have tasted for many a day. It proves that Mr. Mason is not only a Ko, , t farmer, but a clieese- maker as well, und whoever lias the fortune to buy of him i<< Sure to get an article that is hard to beat.. We sus­ pect. however, that Mrs* M^son Is en­ titled to )ier share of credit In the cheese liuei At all events we unhesi­ tatingly say that this cheese is eqnal to any we ever tasted. If anyone don't believe what we suy let them try for themselves. I'HIS particular portion of the year came logically by the name of **dog days," for as it is the season in which men most easily lose their temper, and have unusually hard -work to find It again, it i» hatoral that dogs, who have the reputation of going angry quicker than llie*^ human animals, should be suspected of getting mad with unusual Case. But this logic, thong i good of its kind. Is very unfair to lhe dog®, for these Imites generally behave far better ?n August than human beings do. Some dogs have to depend on their own exertions for bread and hieat--principally the latter--hut they have no rent to pay no bills to meet, no soiled clothing to replace, nor, as* rule, any family to support. 80 the meanest cur may slumht-r in the shade 011 a hot August day, while a human being, with only half as many feet, innst brave the wilt­ ing heat, enervating atmosphere and had temper of their fellow men.

Owen during her year and a half residence . in Paris, or at. least such of. them as she was able to bring home, and can truly say that, we Were iwfte than repaid for the time so spent. We have thought, and often said, before her journey abroad that pictures that came from under her brush were hard to beat, but the Improvement that she has made In the year and a half past i« simply mar­ velous, and if we ore a judge her paint­ ings' arc now simply perfect. The pictures we saw consist of portraits, fruit pieces, game, farm scenes, etc.. part of which are taken from life and part copied from paintings- by the most famous artists in the world. Miss Owen h:is made flesh colors one of her principal stnuies during her absence and anyone who looks upon the speci­ mens of her handiwork cannot but say she has made a success of it In every particular. Her natural talent as a portrait and landscape painter has strengthened by experience and culti­ vation. and she can now be truly ranked as one of the first artists in the land. !ve woulil like to give a description of each picture we saw, but time and space will not permit. Anything we can say of them will rot half do them justice. They must be seen to bo ap­ preciated. No lover of fine paintings should fail to call and fee them. AT A BARGAIN.

The reason of the above statement is that that village is over the line of Illinois, and couples matri­ monially inclined used to go there to have that knot tied, which, not death but tlie circuit court, could cut asunder. The Rev. Mr. Caldwell usedto be the official before whom those inclined to matrimony used to appear to have legal sanction given to the desire of their hearts. Sliice he left Genoa, has been a sad "interregnum," so to speak, until the Rev. Mr. Van Nest settled in that 'bailiwick--which auspicious matter of settlement we are glad to record.'
