SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-011 Tuesday a boy, about
eleven years of age, the son of a poor labourer, named Charles
residing at Rine, was playing on the tram-road, when ,
team of loaded trams was coming down : by some means
he fell across the plates, and the wheels passing over
his legs, just above the, ancle joints, crushed them in a most
frightful manner. Mr. James Hawkins, the surgeon, found
the injuries indicted of such a nature as to require imme-
diate amputation. He proceeded to operate, and having re-
moved one leg below the knee, which the young sufferer bore
with heroic fortitude, never uttering a groan, he was preparing
to take off the other, when the courageous bow observed,
" What, are you going to cut again?" Being informed that
it was necessary to take off the other ; " Very well," he added
calmly, " if you must you must—cot away ;" and quietly sub-
mitted to the second operation, which he underwent with a
fortitude equal to that he had:exhibited during the first. We
'are happy to hear the young hero is going on favourably.—
