SAD ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday of
last week, Andrew j., son of Joseph
Blair, of Goshen Gore, this county,
who is about twelve years of age, was
out in the woods hunting. He car
ried rifle, and came across snake,
when, instead taking stick, he used
the butt of his gun with which to kill
it. At the first blow the percussion
cap exploded, the gun discharged, and
the ball entered his arm near the
elbow, coming out near the shoulder.
The wound bed profusely, while he
ran to the house of the nearest neigh
Dor. On arriving there he was SO
overcome he could but exclaim, Oh,
help me p and fell down exhausted
and covered with blood, being unable
to say anything more. A physician
was obtained, who did all he could
for the unfortunate boy. 1t is feared
amputation of the entire limb will be
necessary.-Lyndon Union. .-7a

firmer, broader basis than heretofore,
being bound together by competent
legal compact duly signed by the par
ties authorized to act.
| The course of training is being ex-
tended and greatly improved, and
| steps are being taken looking towards
the procuring of a National Charter.
