CONSERVATION by shocking accident whicl
happened in our midst. On Friday. tn

mill belonging to his son-in-law, d. Foss
his right arm was caught by the circula
saw with which he was cutting slabs 70
wood, and nearly cut off Just below his ell
bow. Both bones were severed and the fie, ]
, badly torn. Drs Morgan and Rood wer
soon with him, and decided upon attempt
ing to save the arm. The painful opera
ton was skilfully performed, and som
hopes are entertained that the arm NAV b
saved. 1t is altogether a very sad affair

supported by his labor, he being a poo
but worthy man. We sincerely sympathiz
with him in his misfortune, hut at the sam
time, we presume, he will learn the test G
friendship, and find that human sympath
and real goodness is not so rare after all.
