A Serious Accident.

While the down freight train was in
the act Of leaving the Golden station,
Mr.. Thomas Lee, one ofthe brakesmen,
made mistep and fell to the ground,
his body on the outside OF the rails and
his foot under the framework Of the
brake. His heel and ankle were very
badly torn and crushed, some of the
bones of the foot probably being broken.
He was brought to Cairo and DIR. Dun
ming called in to dress the wound. The
lacerated flesh was sewed together, and
the the belief is expressed that the I'M
fortunate man will not only save his foot,
but be able to resume his place in a few
weeks. The wound was very ragged
and CHASTITY one, and many persons
thought that immediate amputation
would be necessary, but a practiced eye
could discover no such necessity. Mr..
Lee is now as comfortable as could be
expected under the circumstances.

tion, with the hope Of avertIng rupture. 1t
would therefore. be necessary to wait for the
resul! OF this mediation which would be known in

spare lew years TO the people to transact
business, which, owing to the repeated expeditions

tended to the serious injury OF commerce and all real
advancement II was in accordance with these
wishes ascertained that Prussia left to have
her own way IN the Schleswlg- Holstein question.
This policy OF non-interventon, SO brought about.
was observed on another occasion in the Austro-
Prussian war OF 1865. Yet on the day that Prussia
won the battle OF Sadowa and that Austria handed
over Veneta TO France the identical public opinion
and projects aforesaid cried out in burst of passion
for the increase OF the army and for another jena
In virtue OF this cry and really on account OF the

Tics OF the Prussian army, which had not been an
tcipated by the French War Department, the En-
peror Immediately set about raising hts present pow

been increased and after the quieting OF excited
apprehensons and ieaouses the war which was so
loudly clamored for IN 1865 meets with no demand.

conscription agents Is the slogan Of the opposl
