LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

A SAD ACCIDENT occurred yesterday a
the Meadow Valley shaft No. z. A mar
named Chris Peterson was engaged il
either hooking or detaching the bucket
when from some reason or other, piect
of the shaft timbers became detached
and fell on him from a great distance
The niece of timber we were told, wa!
one Of the guides, struck the unfortunate
man on the leg, completely smashing
the knee Joint. So soon as PRACTICABLE,
the sufferer was brought to the surface
and taken to the hospital. Drs. Deal
Berpstein and Philson held consulta
tom and it was decided that the only
chance to save the poor mans life. was
immediate amputation OF the injured
limb. This was skillfully performed by
DIR. Deal, assisted by Drs. Bergstein and
Philson, and the patient made as COM
Portable ms possible. The shock to the
neryous system was, however, SO great
that the injured man appears to rally
very slowly, and at the time of this writ
inc is in a very critical condition indeed.
I'VE were informed that at the time the
accident happened and som. time pre-
yiously, he had been working for the
contractors who are running the HUM
& Hunt tunnel from No. Z, and was q
steady hard working man. -a

WELcoME.-Yes, and q right hearty
welcome to our esteemed friend and
townsman d. A. Fulks, who has returned
from visit to his folks in the Eastern
States. Bob, as every one calls him,
though why, we do not know, looks well,
and must have Jared well during his trip,
though he did start in a storm and had
such q rough trip getting to Hamilton.
We have had no further time than mere
ly to shake hands with friend Bob, but
shall probably get some items respecting
his journey on the first convenient op-
portunity. For the present we content
ourselves, along with Mr.. Fulks' many
trinds, in Offering him our congratula-
tions on his safe return and best wishes
for his future prosperity.

well conducted towns on the coast. Few
