cident occurred on board the steam
boat Washington in the north part
of the lake, on Friday last, about 4
O'Clock, P. M.
Charles Price. a fine lad about Is
years of age, son of Capt. John
Price, of this town, who was en-
ployed on board the Washington, by
some misstep, or accident, fell into
the crankpit among the machinery,
while she was under way, and was
literally torn to pieces. The engi-
neer being at his post at the moment,
heard cry, and stopt the engine,
as we understand, after the second
revolution-bul it was too late. The
first stroke fell upon his head, which
was severely laccrated, and so chang
ed his position that the next struck
him in the region of the abdomen,
nearly severing his body, and killing
him instantly.
The captain Immediately sailed
for this port, where he arrived on
Saturday morning, with the re-
mains OF the deceased, and the sad
intelligence to his bereaved and afllict-
ed relations.-Bmlington Democrat.
ANOTHER SIGN. This is truly won.
derfu age Just read what the editor OF
the Tribune says:
1--WE saw dog trotting by our WIN
dow just now, whose tail was cured up so
as to form perfect figure three. And mas.
mu CHI as the animal ran on four legs
corresponding 10 the numerai gong to
make oct the requisite number '43-we
could not help believing it remarkable
Circumstance, The dog was gray muz
lied little cur looking DIS though he was
just abou! IS years old "a remarkable
age for a cur to arrive a., mind you. If
this were the case, there is another re-
markable coincidence in the matter, and
the prophetic period is made out,-l843."
A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION
was performed on woman in this city re.
Gently, while she was in a magnetic
sleep. The subject, the wife of Mr.. Ebe-
nezer DAVIS, OF Jarvis Gore, was thrown
into the mesmeric state, when tumor was
removed from her shoulder by DR.. Rich
of this place. While he was performing
the operation. Mrs, Davis exhibited no
other symptom of suffering. we are in,
formed, than slighttwitching ofthe mus.
cles and compression ofthe lips. When a.
Weakened she was unconscioustha anything
unusual had taken place in regard to her
self--she did not know that The tumor had
been removed until informed by others.
A III of the parties are most respectable
people, and the facts we have given appear
10 be ;ndisputabe. This case of mesmer-
ism applied to surgical science is worthy

profession, Bangor Dem.
The SANDWICH ISLANDS. Ga the 3Oth
ult., inquiry was made in the British Par
Lament, whether the reports respecting
the seizure Of the Sandwich Islands by
Lord Paulet were true. Sir Robert Peel
replied that there was no truth in the re.
port that the islands had been taken pos
session of by her ma jesty's forces. This
shows at least that Lord P. had no orders !
from home to overthrow the native gov.
ernment.- w. Chron.
EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.-We learn |
by The Barre Gazette that the house Of
Mr.. John Sherman, Of that town, was
struck by lighning-the fluid descending |
one of the chimnies, and completely de.
moIishing it as low as the second story,
where il divided and spread itself in every |
direction, making an almost entire wreck |
of the building from ridge pole 10 founda'
lion.
DOMESTIC EXPORTS FROM MAINE
The Eastern Argus says that the steamer
Richmond, from the Kennebec. carries mp
10 Boston, COO dozen eggs, ia oue "trip
amounts TO 500. Ga Thursday last she
carried up two and halt tons of Salmon,
caught between the mouth of the Kerne-
bee river and Hallowell. A part of the
Salmon, in boxes, were for the N. York |
market.
lRoN.-The whole qu1ntity of iron,
wrought AMI unwrought, consumed in
the United States, annually, is 100000 |
tons, whereas, the total import in 1910, |
was CT, Ia tons; consequently, five sIxlhs |
of all the iron used in this country is OF
American manufacture. This is fact OF
some importance. and one which we were
hardly prepared to believe, until We saw it |
stated in the American Almanac. Bay

FRUITs OF SLGvERY.--The New Or
leans papers state that another instruction
of the slaves has broken out in Cuba. 1t
is on the south side of the island, in the
neighborhood of St. Jago Ge Cuba, and is
said 10 have been much more extensive
and deeply organized than that of Carde-
mas some weeks ago. Many whites have
