means the least in interest He took his

Friday evening.
Geo. Brown, man about As years of
age, at work in Grandy, Skinner & Par
ker's sawmill, met with a severe accident
last Monday afternoon. A silver, foot
lcng, flew from the edging saw, struck
him in the eye aud penetrated his head
nearly three inches. The end of the
stick was broomed up and indicated that
it was done in entering the head. 1t re-
quired a good deal of strength from one
of the workmen to remove it. 1t is
hardly possible for Mr.. Brown to recover.
He has wife and two children. A gen.
erous subscription has been received for
him, for which much gratitude is express
sed. Although not out of danger he is
at this time quite comfortable.

ing citizens will sustain the collector in
doing his duty.
