with the Girls
From the New York Herald, 18th.
One week ago yesterday Martin Smith, q
young man twenty-six years of age, and in
the employ of Mr.. Jacob Conklin, of West
bury, Long Island, was the unfortunate vie
tim Of a sad accident which terminated ia
tally. In the morning, after taking Mr..
Conklin to the depot, Smith, with a fellow
workman, went into the woods for the pur-
pose of cutting and hauling logs, About
o'clock p. NJ, having brought load to
the house, hewent in, and, as it was sup
posed, in the absence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Conklin, commenced romping with these
wants, named Bridget and Ann McLaugh-
lin, one of whom was knitting. Either
in this way, or, as the young man stated
it to the physician, as he went to shelf on
which was some knitting work to obtain
something a knitting needle entered his
head at the corner of his eye and below the
ball. making not the least mark, drawing
no blood, and at the time causing him nc
pain. As the needle did not enter deep it
gave no trouble to him or those about the
house; but as matter of precaution he
called on the doctor, but not finding him
in he left word that he would see him in
the morning. Early next day the physi.
clan saw him but finding no wound he an
ticipated no trouble. 1t is reported that
Tuesday found Smith working in the woods
as usual On Thursday he was delirious,
and evidently in dangerous condition.
On the arrival of the physician he decided
that nothing could save him, and he died
| at six o'clock that evening.
| The physician is under the impression
that the needle passed through the passage
to the nose and pierced the brain. It has
been discovered since his death that at the
time of the accident a white fluid was
emitted from his nose. AS no inquest was
! held nor any post mortem examination
made it is difficult to determine the exact
cause of his death. The funeral was held
on Saturday, and was one of the largest
ever attended in that section.
Smith was engaged to Ann, one of the
sisters, who was SO overcome at the funeral
that she repeatedly tainted. He was a
young mau of correct habits and generous
impulses, and generally liked throughout
| the community.

There was a shock as we dashed down on
the little thing, who seemed to stretch out
its little hands to mine, and to leap, actual

tightly clasped, we were still going on and
had the child tightly held to my breast,
and yet not able to look to see if it was
hurt.
Then I don't know how it was, but be-
