SERIOUS FUN - We learn from Rock township that Christoff SEEMAN and an old man (name not given,) were hauling ice for Mr. STAENGEL. SEEMAN got "tight" and amused himself by kicking the old man into the water, which operation he repeated a time or two, whereupon the old man, failing to see the fun of the thing, gave SEEMAN a cut in the side with a knife, making a rather dangerous wound.
