DISTRESSING AccIDENr.-At the East Fork of

OBrien had his right leg so badly crushed by
rock that amputaton had to be performed ON the
following evening. A slab of earth started from
the bank of his mining claim, bringing with it q
large boulder. He sprang to avoid it, but was
caught between the rolling rock and stationary
one which happened to be in his course. All the
bones of the leg we're completely crushed for
several inches from the knee JOINT down. DR..
Todd amputated the limb above the knee on
Sunday evening, and at last accounts the sufferer
was in comfortable condition, although much
prostrated from loss of blood and thirty-six
hours of most intense suffering. O'Brien is
sober, Industrious young man, and the whole

tune.
