Perpetual motion is found this time by
Richard Schoenboru, with power enough to
run the largest machinery, so he says. The
contrivance is so simple that he would not
risk it in the hands of a lawyer to get it
patented, but went to Washington himself.
He says he can make a model in a few min
ntes to prove that it will do as he says. He
has run a sewing machine and churn with
it. Waterand air are the forces, so we have
been informed. When he returns from
Washington w e can tell you more about it.

About 5 o'clock last Saturday a very seri

on the Beckley place, the team took fright
and ran away, upsetting the wagon and
throwing the occupants out. Of the seven
