urday last One of the men was at work

: Inch oval bar of iron, red hot, or more

The rod grazed the bone, severing the femoral
artery and being % feet long, Is feet of it
passed through the flesh before it could be cut
ana the short erd withdrawn from the limb.
"A remarkable presence of mind in one of the
WorkInen arrested the otherwise fatal hemor-

until the doctors arrived, who took up the ar
terry, dressed the wound, aud conveyed the
unfortunate man to his residence. At last ac-
counts he was in very low condition, and
feeble hopes are entertained by his physicians
Of his recovery.

SOMEWHAT OF "PRoP WILSON of course
our readers will remember wandering bal
loonist who was here about three years ago,
with hot-air balloon, and calling himself
"Prof Wilson" He was kind Of peregrin-
atiug vagrant, who was constantly running the
gauntlet between want and the Jail He was
always 'going 10 go up, and taking "collec-
tions Just to defray expenses, and always
getting some daring, plucky young fellow to
risk his neck in his place, and the "Prof" put
the collections in his own pocket He had
this kind of srdy with him. and he also had
woman with him named Way, which was
another tody he had of raising the wind, by
stating that she would go up with him. In
places where such shows were a rarity, the
Prof" applied TO the proper authorities to
have the corporation subscibe "a hundred or
two, toward paying expenses !; and the induce
ment offered by the "Prof" was that it would
collect, vast crowd, and bring swad Of
money in town
The upshot of these experiments--to be
short-was generally that the "Prof" was run
out of towns by diappointed and duped crowds.
Sncelthe "Prof" left here, he has lost his
Way and in wandering about alone, he STUN
bled recently upon Cumberland, Pa. lie
played the usual game until it was played
out, when the large crowd who were determin-
ed he should go mp, forced him into opera
tons As usual the "Prof" after getting the
money tried to get off under the dodge that
the balloon had not enough gas in it. But we
will let the newspaper OF the place tell the
rest
'The basket was attached and everything
put in order, when sudden pitch of the bal
loon threw it against fence and large rent
was discovered in the neck The Professor
was willing to delay his departure to repair
damages but the crowd commenced TO hoot
"humbngp' and make other complimentary
