"A Young man named Orrin Nc.

ty, met with n severe accident about
two weeks ago, at Dingmsn & Derrick
sons stave mill, which is in operation
on or near Wing Hill. He was work.
ing with the edger, and something
calling his attention he looked away
from his work, and at that instant his
left hand was caught in the saw, result
ing in the injury Of the thumb and
three fingers. DIR. Powell was called,
and did what he could to save all the
fingers, but it was found necessary to
amputate the second finger, which
operation was performed by DIR. F., at
his Office on Monday last. The young
man suffered severely, but we under
stand will now get along rapidly and
not lose the use of any of his other
fingers. Mr.. McIntire had been work
ing at the business about nine months
and had never met with an accident
previously. We ch4onicle a great
many similar cases in this section, and,
as far as we have been able to learn,
there has never been a green hand in
jured at any of our mills; it is only
those who from familiarity with dan
ger, become careless, and in an un-
guarded moment suffer injuries which
cause them to go through life maimed,
and in some instances almost helpless.
May this prove warning to all who
are engaged in similar occupations.
We have received copy of the
Leader published at Linesyil!e, Craw-
ford Co., by Britton d; Mccoy. 1t is
neat, spicy paper, we'll printed and
edited, and has the appearance OF be-
ing we'll patronized. With Mr.. Mccoy
we are not acquainted, but we have al
ways had a great deal Of respect for
Britton, ever since we saw him throw
man clear across forty-foot street
for simply remarking that "Jef Davis
was better man than Abe Lincoln" I"
We have always been careful to agree
with him whenever he broached any
topic, and have studiously avoided
giving him any Offence. Good luck
to you gentlemen; may your muscle
and prosperity increase with age.
