A severe aud painful accident oc.

saw mill of DR.. VIM. A Albaugh, in
Old Codorus Township, by which Mr.
Lloyd Ruby, had his arm badly cut by
a circular saw. In attempting to steady
block, he reached over the saw, which
caught his sleeve and drew his arm
upon it. The wound produced was very
large, beginning OF the radial artery,
near the wrist, from thence across the
inner part of the arm, terminating near
the elbow, cutting all the muscles and
tendons. The wound was dressed by
DR.. Albaugh and his student, George
z. Yost. 1t was believed at first that
he would lose the use of the arm, but he
is now in fair way to recover. By a
similar accident Mr.. Ruby lost the
thumb and three fingers from his right

Baltimore Gazette as follows:
Geatlsmsa I'm an article in your paper of
the 18th Of this month you use the following
language awe are convinced that very MANY
OF the most active leaders in the project to ad-
vance million Of dollars to the Western Mary
land road are actuated by the most mercenary
yiewsi" and again, awe have more than a
suspicion that IL the subject Is ever examined
In Court Of Justice the public will see why
certain parties are so wrathy at our efforts 20
impede the march Of Improvement" These
are serious charges, and you must admit you
have no right TO make them unless YOU are
prepared TO substantiate them, and therefore
request that you will furnish to the Western
Maryland Railroad Company the names of the
parties to whom you refer, and the evidence
upon which you base the statements made by
you. Respectfully,

Dear Sir---In stating that many of the pro-

dollars to the Western Maryland Railroad we're
looking to their own pecuniary interests rather
than to those Of the people Of Baltimore, or in
other words, they were animated more BY
mercenary views than the desire to develop
our works Of public improvement, we stated
what we believe TO be truth, and one which
we scarcely thought would be challenged BY

expressed In the 0asstfs Of the 10th instant, but
In reference to matter of that character we
