MR. EDiroR
In your paper of June under the caption
of Serious Accidents is a communication
dated Somesvillc, May % 1859, giving an
account oil injuries received by boy from
mprudcnr use ola hay cutter. From tho
account it appears that two fingers wers
badly injured and third entirely severed;
and that the narrator, who WAS present Mt
the surgical operation was astonished at tho
wonderful skill, of the doctor who had
framed himself for his profession. He says
sit was dressed in the mos. skillful and
scientific manner by restoring the decaptiated
part to its former position, inserting ten,
stitches in this, five in the S .cond and two in
the third, making in all seventeen =? How
wonderful that the skill of physician de-
ponds upon tho number of stitches But
Notwithstanding the consunmate skill Of
the Surgeon and the unparalleled number Of
stiches-the patient was minus one finger
very soon after the notice (above referred toy
of the entire success Of the operatlon.-
Would it not be wisdom on the part Of those
who worship at the Shrine Of Quackery to
wait few days and embrace the same
opportunity to chronicle the cure and the
death. tits to be regretted that so many,
from the cobbler to the parson should con-
sttnte themselves critics and judges of ply
sicians skill and qualifications. Far better
to know everything about one thing than to
know one thing about everything.

I he General Conference Of Maine
and the New York Tract Society.

The action of the Maine Conference at Portland
in relation to the New York Tract Society, has
been the occasion of discussion in the press,
and by the public. As a general thing, in this
State, the minority has been condemned for its
position. Without having been very careful
reader of the controversy between the New York
Society and its opponents North, We had formed
an opinion that the effect of the vote, if carried
as the eight gentlemen voted, would have been to
sustain the New York Society. Upon examina
tion itwllbe seen that only three of the eight,
viz: Rev. Messrs. Chickering and Fiske, and
Judge shepley, voted nay on the resolution to
sustain the Boston Society. Judge Sheplev, oniv,
voted my on the first two preambes, and resolu-
ton which presented the question in such lgh,
that there was no escaping installing the effect
of negative vote. On the other resolution, con-
sderations might influence the voters other than
the slave question. We formed our opinion Of
what was the duty Of Christian Ministers in the
case presented for action, more from tho remarks
of DR.. Dwight, than from any preconceived views
Of our own.
Below may be found a communication from Rev
Mr.. Tenney in relation to his vote. As he has
been assailed, 1t is but justice that he should be
heard and impartially judgeu. We have always
supposed and believed that the gentleman was a S
decidedly anti-slavery in his views, as any body
who does not believe with the Garrisonian Adolf.

notice that in your last issue you have
given somewhat detailed account Of the sessions
Of the Maine Conference of congregational
Churches, and that you have called special a'ten-
ton to their action the subject of slavery and
the american Tract Societies of New York and
Boston.
The report which you publish is somewhat i'm
perfect and confused, and perhaps n little liable
to mslead hasty reader. A. was a member
Of the Conference and took some little part in its
proceedings, perhaps, with your permission, can
set the matter in little clearer light.
The final action of the Conference was upon a
minority Report sf Committee appointed to con-
slider the subject. That Report was made up OF
several preambles, together with three resolution.
which it is important to observe, were acted upon
separately.
