SERIOUS dccfuent.-A nttle DOY ABOUT elRnt
years old, whose name we were unable to
earn, residing on Madison street, between
Fifth and Sixth, last Monday, fell on n pile
of stone near st. Paul's Church, aud cut the
arteries of his wrist. He was taken TO his
home, and doctor called IN, who merely
bandaged the limb, but failed to tie the ar
teries. Two or three days alterward, he fell
again, broke open the unhealed wound, and
before surgical aid could be procured, came
near bleeding to death. A skilful surgeon
was called in, who dressed his injuries in
proper manner, and he. is now doing well.
We qcould call the attention OF our readers

The Way of tie Transgressor is Hard
Last Saturday the keeper of the Concert
Hall and Lager Beer Saloon, corner of Fourth
and King Streets, decamped, taking with
him all the funds, and forgetting to pay his
, employees. AS the girls in his employ reside
in Philadelphia, they had not the necessary
means 10 reach home. They presented q
, truly piliable sight at the depot in the even

y phia, and as they could not procure passage
