Dea. Horace Porter was seriously injur-
ed last Wednesday, Feb. 9th, while in the
woods after mill logs on the farm of Guy
Woodward, on East Hill. A large tree
had been felled lodged in small maple
and Porter stepped up and cut the maple
to let it down, when the maple struck him
on his neck and head, cutting his ear and
head quite badly and breaking his collar
bone. Several men were in the woods
with Porter and he was placed upon the
sled and rapidly driven home where he is
now doing as well as could be expected. 4
