WE learn that a man by the MMue of August Cotner. living on the old Over­ ton farm, near Bllvlns Mills, was accl- dently killed on Saturday last In the following manner: He was helping a neighbor butcher hogs, and while standing on a sled pulling the hog in and out of ascvlditig barrel, lie slipped, lost his hold and fell over backwards, striking on his head, killing him al­ most instantly. One report says his neck was broken, while another Says his head was all mashed in. He lefcves a wife and eight children. <pnter you give the moreH# Gardener's Monthly. Wanted.

THE new departure taken by Mr. Sherwood, proprietor of the Waverly House, Woodstock, is a very commen­ dable one. The mere suggestion, of having farmers, and others going to tiiat city to trade, get shelter for their horses, is a sensible one, but when taken together with the fact, of get- ri 11& them housed for nothing, (in case you get at the Waverly.) should Hereafter, let those going to that town to trader improve the opportunityl^nd get their horses taken ca>*e of. j IK is now more snow on the nun in tills section than has been known for a Ions time at this time of year, there being froni fifteen to eigh­ teen inches. Oit Saturday it snowed oil day, and, what Is remarkable for this latitude the wind did not blow, and consequently the traveling is good Sunday night was the coldest experi­ enced this season. JOSEPH WIEDEMANN had his Annual Family Christmas Tree last evening, and it was as fine a one as we ever saw. being beautifully illuminated with Wax Tapers, and yrell loaded with presents for all and especially the lit­ tle ones. No one knows better than Mr. and Mrs. Wiedemann how to get op a family Christmas Tree, and they enjoy with the children the surprise otthe fruit it bears. WE would again remind the dancing public of the New Year's Party at the Riverside House, iu this village, on Wednesday evening of next week. It is well known that the Hall Is one of ths best in the State, and Wightman Is leaving nothing undone that will tend to the comfort of his guests on that occasion. With good sleighing and moderate weatiier a flue crowd may be expected . H. O. DIXON, of Jackson, Miss., writes to the Elmira Farmers Club: 1 will (five you » remedy for choked cattle so simple that you would hardly believe in its efficacy until tried, but I have frequently had recourse to it with per­ fect success in both horses and cows-- MDash cold water iu the ear.** It will cause the animal to violently shake its head, which will dislodge the obstruc­ tion and it will h* throws oat by tbe muscular action produced. THOSE of our readers who visit Woodstock on Court or other business, should not lall to note the reduced rates advertised by the Waverly House, which can be found in another column. This is one of the best kept Hotels in the State, and nil who go there for a single meal or a weeks board will be sure to go way well satisfied.

ARMSTRONG'S Reading at the Methodist Church Thursday evening last was thlnly attended, but was de­ cidedly tlie best thing that has visited this place for a long time. In fact he has few equals aud no superiors in the country, and we can trnly say that those wljo did not attend missed a rich treat. His power of imitation is won­ derful, and the different renditions during the evening was received with the greatest delight by those present. We hope he may visit us again under more favorable circumstances. PROP.
