the Gospel to the poor Of that city, and in the
payment of the expenses of a City Missionary.

Auburn Thursday P. M. A lad about thir-
teen years of age, son of Mrs. Staten, whose
husband died during the late war, went to the
Cabinet Mandatory of Messrs Bradford &
Conant after shavings. Having seen others
put belt on pulley in the mill, he essayed
the same feat His mitten caught in the belt
and he was rapidly thrown backward around
the pulley: His cries brought early relief, but
not until he was very seriously injured. DR..
Frye was summoned and found the right arm
of the lad broken in a very serious manner.
the lower arm shattered so badly that it was
amputated on Friday, near the elbow. The
elbow was dislocated and the upper arm badly
broken The scalp was also torn off on one
side of the head. His body was also somewhat
bruised. The little fellow is now as comforta-
BILE as could be expected, and will probably re-
cover. 1t is wonderful how he escaped instant
death.
A. M. Pulsifer, Esq. has been nominated as
Republican candidate for Representative from
Auburn, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Hon. I. A. D. Fessenden.
