SAD AocIpENr.--David Atwell Of Eden.
met with an accident on the 22d of last
month, by which he was so much injured
in the right foot and ANGLE that ampnta-
tion was found necessary. The leg was
taken off about 6 inches above the knee.
on the first inst, by DR.. Powers, Of Nor
r~isville, assisted by DR.. Fairman. of Vol.
colt. Mr.. Atwoll. with his brother James.
was hauling wood. In moving a log pre-
paratory to loading it on the sled, his lee
was caught between the log and a stump.
and the leg broken about half-w'y be.
tween the ankle and knee. and the axle
badly crushed, so that all Efforts to induce
it to heal failed, and modification took
place, and amputation was found neeessa-
ry to save life. This is sad loss to Mr..
A., but is nothing to what they have i'll
the army" But for the desire to save
the whole leg and the foot, amputation
would have taken place sooner. and might
then have been done below instead OF
above the knee.

Willis, N. Y. City, commences a New
volume with the year. 1t is printed on
new type and is much improved in ap.
pearance. The Home Journat is a first
