EVE ISJURED.-Squire Higgins yester-
day met with a painful accident that may
be the cause Of his losing one of his
eyes. Geo. Phipps and be were engaged
in preparing house for having the roof
raised, preparatory to which Phipps was
pulling off the battings with a hammer;
be was on step-ladder, aud Higgins was
holding the same, when Phipps came
across one piece OF batting that was cross
grained and required considerable force
to pull il of. he however succeeded. and
had the piece in his hand when he found
himself falling. the ladder sliding from
under him, and the piece OF batting strlk-
ing Higgins in the ball OF the eye. DIR.
Lee was promptly called to attend him,
and administered all the relief he possibly
could. He says the piece of batting en-
tered the corner of the right eye just
along side of the bridge OF the nose.
The wound is very serious one, the
whole eye being covered With blood, and
the probability is the sight is destroyed.
A NINE Of Sal Ammoniac was yester-
day discovered between Phoebe and
Highland. This is very valuable dis
covery, according TO the statement of a
chemist of this town, as il found in suf-
ficient quantities so as to mako it cheap
article it will take the place of salt in
mills and elsewhere in reducing ore. 1t
is q new feature in geology to lind this
article, as it has hitherto been manufac-
tured. The wholesale price of this COM
modify in San Francisco is - cents per
pound.
Mrs. p. HOLLAND yesterday received
O present of an Australian Maybe, very
tame and very pretty. It is capable Of
singing as sweet as canary bird, but it

light when we have darkness accounts
for this singular freak. She is very
proud of this acquisition 10 the collec-
ton of birds she already has on hand.
MRS. PowERs yesterday had the fence
erected between the premises OF Mr..

of finipg him.
