As they start ed to lower their tool box, notice was given to those below and all hands got out of the way. Just as the box was started down it struck some object and a large 4 pound hachet, exceedingly sharp, fell from the box, struck on a rafter and bounced 12 or 1$ feet away. Young Bunch heard the hatchet strike the rafter and dodg ed, bending over as he did so the blade of the falling hatchet, struck him in the back just under the shoulder blade, cutting one rib from the back-bone and cutting in to the lung. Young Bunch was attended by Drs. Warren and Rhodes who state that the boy is seriously wounded. As we go to press in tor mat ion it received that the boy is doing nicely. BUSINESS ITEMS.

Peel, Superintendent of Schools, with aouie of his friends entertained the teachers of the county at the attractive rooms of the Lotus Club last evening. The occasion was very enjoyable. The Superintendent was at his best. He and his wife lost no oppotunity to make the occasion pleasant aud enjoyable by all. The evening was Interspersed with recitations, short speeches and music. Miss Bessie Casper of Oak Citv recited a most thrilling piece in tones of deepest pathos, aud voice attuned to the sentiment of deep est She moved from scene to scene with grace anil '•harm, Miss Casper did splendidly. Prof. Peel then introduced Prof. Everett who spoke on the subject of some kind of mouey. The speak er held the audience spell-bound for two minutes, aud handled his subject in a masterly style. We uever heard a more charming after dinner speaker. Miss Callie Brown was the next introduced, she had a very uice recitation which she recited with a composure and manner that showed much ability and splendid training. Prof. t«iles of the Williamston Graded School was introduced. He spoke on a purely scientific subject, "The lump that gets j n „ man's throat when he tries to speak, which will neither move up or down." The names iu which the Pjpf. treated this subject showed his wide research aud deep study, he grew very eloquent at times, some of his flights were received with rounds of applause by the audience, we have never heard a better half minute speech. This speech was followed by a recitation by Miss Addie Rollins, she was charming, her recitation sparkled with wit aud humor, she was master of the whole situation and held the audience breathless as she depicted the mistakes aud fol lies of two charming lovers. Several '/j second speeches wete made by Prof. Manniug, S. J. Ev erett, Mr. Critcher, the venerable N. S. Peel and W. C. Manning, these geutlemen were charming. Some of the young men of the town furnished spleudid music. At the close of the evening ice cream was served, this was also enjoyed. The teachers and guests went away happy with many expressions of hearty tlmuks to Prof. Peel and friends of the LoftM Club. The Anvil Bird. At dusk In the wilds of the gloomy Brnzlllau forest you will tbtuk It strange to bear the clink of a hammer on an anvil. You would Imagine that you were approaching soma settlement, and the picture of tbe ruddy glow of the forge would come up before your eyes. But If your guide were a native be would tell you that the sound was made by a campanero, as tbey call It, although to foreigners It U known as the aovll bird. This bird Is a little lar ger than a thrush. The plumage Is per fectly white, the eyes are a pale gray color, and the naked throat and skin around the eyes are of a flne bright green, while "fts more northerly rela tive ta orange and black, very much like our oriole. It la generally In the early part of tbe day that the campa nero aenda forth tbe wonderful note that can tie heard at a distance of three miles. Marvelous Indeed must be tha mechanism of tbe vocal organs of so small a bird to produce ao far reach log i note, but there la no doubt of tbe fact, for many travelers have heard the atrange sound uttered by tbe btrd when perched on the topmost branch of some withered tree.—Westminster 0 aiette. ___________ Tbe ship Ada Iredala, abandoned a9re at sea In October, 1870, drifted 2,420 miles as a derelict and was picked up and towed to port, still afire.
