| PAINFUL Aoc1DENr.-On Thursday last, Sam
Reese, son Of DR.. B. P. Reese, Of this city. am
and an employee of the Virgiaias. Office, met wit
painful accident while working the job press
The press was in rapid motion, card stuck t
the form, and neglecting to catch the check lie
yer, placedshis right hand in between the typ
and the platen to pull off the card. It wa
caught and terribly mashed and lacerated tn,
evolution of the wheel not being stopped, so rap
i'd and with such force was its motion. The
bones of the hand defaced several Of the type ane
the flesh was left sticking to the type The back
Of the hand was cut clear across, severing large
vein, and the fingers mashed and torn in fright
full manner.
Drs. Henkel Eyster and Reese, dressed and
bandaged the wounds, and young Reese isenow
doing as we'll as could be expected. It is thought
the hand will not be permanently injured. We
earnestly hope it will not He is very promis-
ing Jouth md bids fair to be an ornament to the
business both in its mechanical and intellectual
branches.
That STEAM SAW M1LL.-We mentioned last
week that a Mr.. Yost Of Pennsy lvania, interes-
ted in large tract of land in this county, near
Lebanon White Sulphur Springs, was about to
commence operations with large steam saw mill
to convert the timber on the premises into mar
keting lumber. Since then we have learned that
Mr.. Yost's partner, is Mr.. W. Shupe, of Penn
sylvania, gentleman of large means and much
in Inn ar hro
pose to get out hickory, oak &c.. in the rough,
for shipment to the eastern cities for manufac
ture into various kinds of machinery, vehicles Sc,
One draw back TO The enterprise is the heavy
Ireighti charge on the railroad. This makes it
impossible to compete with the western trade in
this respect, as freight is carried over the wes-
tern lines at least for half that tits on our lines
We hope some more liberal arrangement will be
contaminated
Why cannot we have spoke and wheel and
woodward factory in Stanton This lumber is
carried to the eastern cities, put into articles
then brought back here. passing throu gh seySSrul
hands, each oav Sse which makes profit. This
could all be saved to our people, if they would
go to work and fit up factories. y is tho only
way to secure substantial growth.e
