4 SAD AccIDENT.-A serious and
probably fatal accident happened at
: the new board mill of Welcome
/ Allard, at the outlet of Ball mill
pond in Westmore, ON Monday last.
Milo Smith of Sutton, a young man
about twenty-one years old, in trying
to tit a new saw to the old arbor, at
tempted to hold the saw while some
) one started the mill, to wear the eye
OF the saw larger that it might slip
easier on the arbor. But when the
machinery started he was Immediate
ly overpowered, falling on the saw
and horribly mutilating one arm, and
cutting a deep and large hole in his
side.- Caledonian.
POLITICAL.-AR Richmond correspon.
dent of the Philadelphia Press says
that there are three political elements
seething in Virginia-the inveterate
Southern party, who have nearly all
the wealth, talent and the press on
their side; secondly, those who were
not original secessionists and now ac-
cept the situation after their way:
and thirdly, there is the Radical Re-
publican party in the field, with a
platform and partial organization. 1t
is the young, active, live party. 1t
ks money, organization, edu-
cation, but it has vitalizing purpose
and n intense enthusiasm. This
will out-number many advantages on
the other side. There are probably
$4,000 votes in the first, 10000 in the
second, and $4,000 in the third. tits
hoped that the two latter can be
united. fs.v .-e- ...
The Haddington Courier, a Scotch
paper, tells marvellous story of
man, who fell down shaft 276 feet
deep, went through a platform of
strong two inch plank into pond of
water, and survived the shot. Not a
bone was broken, and no injury was
incurred except slight scratch on the
chin. We do not learn whether this
happened on the first of April, or that
! the man was bullet-headed."

trudged along on foot one hot, sultry
day, "that man never meets a cart
