CAUTION-- We are requested by one of our physicians to caution our farmers against the too reckless management of sugar
cane mills. Within a few days past we are told that a number of accidents have occurred in crushing cane-- drawing in the
fingers and hands of the operators. A Mr. FISHER was so seriously injured as to require amputation of the arm; a little son
of Mr. LAND, five years old, had his arm taken off nearly up to his shoulder; and a Mr. FRANCIS was also so badly injured
as to require amputation of an arm. Persons cannot be too careful in the management of these mills.
>We learn from a friend who lives in the vicinity of Linton, that on Friday last, the residence of Mr. WM. COMBS, in Cass
township, was burned to the ground, consuming all its contents, except three feather beds. None of the family were at home,
save Mrs. C. and small child.-- The excessive fright of the latter prevented her from saving any more of the property. A
smoke house was also consumed, with its contents. The loss of property, besides the building, will not fall short of $500.
The fire was first discovered near the chimney, and as the buildings were frame, in a few minutes there was nothing left but
the smoking embers.
Dissolution
The partnership heretofore existing between Howard and Osborn, is dissolved by mutual consent. J.S. HOWARD

SINGULAR RECOVERY--An insane man name Cottom was sent to the Insane asylum from this county, several months ago, and after
having been treated to that institution for a long time, he was sent back home as incurable. He was placed in our county jail
under the care of Sheriff Stewart, and has been there for some weeks, during which time he has been constantly improving,
and the Sheriff now informs us that he confidently believes he will ulitimately recover and become a sane man again. Since
his return here he has been allowed more or less personal liberty which may account for his becoming rational. Confinement
will sometimes make a sensible man crazy. [Terre Haute Jour.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT--We are sorry to learn that a little son, aged twelve years, of Mr. John Clem, who lives near Prairieton
in this county, met with a terrible and probably fatal accident, yesterday. In company with another boy, he was riding a horse
a nearly full speed, in the woods, and, while in the act of turning a corner, he looked back and at that instant his head
came in contact with a tree. The blow was of such force as to break his skull. He was taken home and Dr. Bell of this city,
and Dr. Hawkins of Prairieton, were called to examine his wounds. Our informant says the physicians removed a piece of the
skull bone as large as a qurater of a dollar, and also a small quantity of the brain. He was alive last night at the date
of our intelligence, but it was thought he could live but a few hours.--
[Terre Haute Journal.
Married

At the same time, by the same, Mr. JOHN CORBIN to Miss ELIZABETH CAROLINE DOUTHIT, all of this county.
--In the above case the Messrs. Corbin are brothers and their wives are twin sisters.
DIED--We are pained to hear of the death of Dr. JAMES H. PAXTON. He died on Sunday morning last, at his residence near
Oak Station, and was buried at Carlisle on Monday, with Masonic honors, of which Order he was a member. The resolutions passed
by his Lodge on the melancholy occasion will be found elsewhere in this paper. The deceased was a gentleman of many excellent
qualities, and his death will be regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

>WADKINS, one of the thieves arrested near Merom last week, underwent a preliminary examination, and was committed to jail
to await his trial at the next term of Court.
MORRIS, another of those implicated, is still at large.
CONCERT.--In our advertising columns will be found a notice of the Juvenile Concert, to be given at the Christian Church,
THIS EVENING. Prof. OSBORN, we understand has taught the class gratuitously, and the object of the Concert is to remunerate
him for his services. No doubt it will be interesting.
>Our friends, Sheriff BRODIE and JAMES HOUPT, have formed a partnership in the grocery business, north side the Public Square,
and are opening up a splendid stock. It is reported that old Saint Nicholas, or "Santa Claus" will supply his pack of holiday
presents for the chidren's stockings at this establishment.
