the grading to be done by volunteers. One

others will give from 10 to 20 days. BY

In view of the fact that those little pad.
locked tin trunks, which people like to store
in bank vaults, might tend to attract the
burglarious mind, they being kept outside
the safe which contains the bank property,
the whole batch, and now the owners buy
pistols, and lie awake o nights.-Post.
Mr.. Charles p. Gile, of West Windsor,
met with serious accident on Monday last.
He was engaged In chOpping for Mrs. Heard,
and standing upon an inclining log, his foot
slipped as he was in the act of striking, and
the AK with the full force Of the blow came
crashing down through the foot near the in-
step, severing every bone but one, and that
the smallest. He was alone and a third of
mile away from any residence, but his
calls for aid brought most timely assistan &C,
and he was conveyed to the house and the
wound, which was u terrible one, was dressed
by DIR. Stevens. From the large number of
veins severed and the liability of the blood
again bursting forth upon the slightest
movement, his condition is considered criti-
cal. Mr.. Gle is very energetic, capable
man, and has the sympathy of the commu-
nifty.
