PROPOSED REMOVAL or TUE NATIONAL SxAr OF
GovERSAEST-The Washington correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Gasette says, in the Senate,
Mf. Grimes. Of Iowa. has given notice Of a
bill for the removal of the Capital Of the
United states to . more central situation.
This measurs has many friends ith gentlemen
from distant sections Of the country. and the
rspidity With which the Great West 10 inereae-
iog may bring the change in our dsy.-Chie.
Journal.
Wonder II the ,llustrous Jim has any
commanding sites" in Burlington that he
would like to dispose Of to Uncle Sam for
building purposes He might possibly give /.
sufdcient quantity Of ground for the Capital
building. As by 90 doing he would immortalizs
his name. We guess. however, that it will be
long time after
"Old Grimes il dead"
before the Capital Of these United States will
be removed from the city honored by the name
of the Father of bis Country.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-It is not
ten days since We noticed the msngling of .
msn's haLd in Collins planning mill. and We
HoW uSVo W cuIOuiCio y more I00TtuI OC-
currence which happened in the same mill yes
terdsy afternoon. As Mr.. P. p. Simmons was
engaged in sawing..out chair frames ON . circu.
lar saw. his hand was caught by the piece Of
wood he was engaged in Sitting drawn against
the saw, and nearly severed at the wrist. The
bone. and cords Of his thumb were mangled
and broken in q terrible manner, and most of
the cords Of his wrist were torn in such way
as to be useless. Drs. Baker and Fountain
we're quickly on hand and skilltully dressed
the wounds. the poor fellow bearing the op-
Grafton with great courage and fortitnde.
We are more grieved at this accident be-
cause Mr.. Simmons is q hard working indus
trious man. with family to support, and he
has been rather unfortunate in most of his uu-
dertaking Of late. In these times it is about
all mechanic can do to get along without any
such serious drawb backs.
Mr.. Simmons physcians think he will regain
the use of three Of his fingers. but his thumb
and fore6nger will never avail him much.
We should think people would use more
caution while engaged about machinery when
such dreadful accidents are occurring every
day. But wisdom gained by experience is the
kind thatis lasting. and Mr.. Simmons has GER
.ainly had his share of such experience.
