10 have been to copy oil the advertisements and

sending them abroad, to the parties addressed
that all remiitances were to be forwarded to
their { IL. S. R. 6 Co.'s care.
The genuine companys credit and reputation
were 5000. and consequently No. 2 had little
difficulty in reaping pecupiary harvest by the
assumption OF name to which it was in no
manner entitled.
Money flowed rapidly into the hands " Rowe

an amount as We have named. They would

A LITTLE BOY CUTS OFF HIS ARM TO
KEEP OUT OF SCHOOL

Last Monday morning George Smith, boy
only seven years old, residing at Pleasantville,
80 miles from New YORK, told his parents il they
insisted upon sending him TO school that he
would throw himself on the Harlem Railroad
truck, which was near his fathers land, and
receive such injuries Us would compel them to
keep him at home. They thought nothing of
the threat and having ordered him to school
forthwith, supposed he had gone until they
learned he had executed his menace. When
the 10 O'Clock up mail train passed the village,
George laid his left arm upon the track, and the
cars passed over 1t, eevering nearly The whole
Of his hand from The limb.
The engineer perceying him then for the first
time, stopped the train, when the child ran off,
and was found with his shattered aud bleeding
arm behind his back sitting on fence whislling
yankee Doodle" and pretending nothing had
| happened. Before he could be taken home,
George tainted from pain aud loss of blood
but when restored and surgeon was summoned
be refused most obstiuately to take any
auaesthetic agent but told the medical gentle
/ man TO cut away. The scalpel was used on the
.manged limb; but the little fellow never
whimpered or complained Not nerve trembed
during the operation, which must have beer
very painfuli indeed, the boy did not speak
until it was over when he remarked with great
satisfaction and 40 air of triumph :--"Wsl
am glad did III can't be sent to school for
awhile any how" The child acted with wonder
full coolness, saying he first put his right arm on
the track, but rejecting that when he grew up
he would not be able to write we'll with the osi
of that limb, he substituted his left. Hi.
parents are much distressed at the occurrence
and apprehend, if he is sent to school again
that he will destroy himself, The boys conduc
is almost inexplicahle and bis fortltude auc
determination extraordinary for one of BIZ
tender years. We have known great man,
little people who dislike the routine and CON
fnement of school, but mover before heard o.

than submit to their dlsagreesbleness, houeve
