RoWric lScmESr. A paper printed al,
Elilabethtown, New Jersey, gave an account
last fall Of greyious misfortune to a young
Girl 10 years old, named Meta Taylor. She
was running to cross the railroad track, when
she stumbled and fell. Just at tia, moment
the cars Of the New Brunswick road came mp
and the locomotive cut Of her lef hand, which
Law over the rail. ln the confusion Of the mo.
ment the hand was not picked up and finally
when it was looked fnr, il could not be found.
It was feared some animal had carried i, oil
and this thought was very distressing to the
mother Of the girl, as well IS to Meta her.

"A Young man from Elizabclhtown hap
pened 20 call on a friend ofhis a, boarding
huusc in Eigh, Street, New York. On the

pretty hand suspended in it. preserved in

the one. On asking his friend whose hand il
was, he was told that il came from the Medi.

student. The young man thought no more
the matter until he go, home when he men
tionrd what he had seen His sister told him
that Meta Taylor's lost hand had a ring on tie
third finger which she described. This ring
was exactly like that on the hand in the jar.
The sequel NAV be told ia few words. Meta
Taylor came over TO New York along with
her mother and the young man alluded TO.
Proceeding at once to the house on Eight
