Among the notable professional men OF this
country who have achieved extraordinary success
is DR.. Il. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. y. The prom
inence which he has attained has been reached
through strictly legitimate means, and far,
therefore he deserves the enviable repu tati ion
which he enjoys. This large measure of success
is the result of a thorough and careful preparation
for his calling, and extensive reading during a
long and unusually large practice, which have
enabled him to gain high commentator, even
from his professional brethren. Devoting his at
tenton to certain spcciaitics he has become rec
ognized leader. Not few of the remedies pre-
prescribed by physicians in their private practice.
His pamphlets and larger works have been receiv-
ed as useful contributions to medical knowledge.
lie has recently added another, and perhaps more
important work, because of more general applica-
tion to the list of his published writings. This
book, entitled "Thc Peoples Common Sense Med
cal Adviser" is designed to enter into general
circulation. DR.. Pierce has received acknowledge
ments and honors from many sources, and espec
tally scientific degrees from two of the first med-
cal institutions in the land deco teod&wlw

A Narrow Escape.

"A Narrow Escape.
But short time since we were called on to
chronicle destruction by fire of one Of our large
manufactures, the steam mill Of the Ken. Land
& Lumber Co., and ON Saturday another large es-
Enlistment narrowly escaped similar fate. We
refer to the building at the west end Of the dam,
owned by the Sprague company, and used as q
grst MILL sash and blind, bedstead and other fac
tories. On the floor below the street the business
Of bedstead making is pursued. The glue used in
their makeup is heat by means of large lamp,
having numerous burners and filed with kerosene.
This lamp was by mistake left burning full blast
while the workmen went home to dinner. Some
Of them returned earlier than usual, when they
discovered that in some way fire from the lamp
had communicated with and fired the wood work.
Alarm was quickly given, the hose and pumps in
the building brought into use and every effort
made to quell the flames After considerable
hard work this was accomplished. A short dis
lance from where the flames were stopped was a
large pile of shavings, and everything in the
apartment was Of q most iniammable character.
Had the discovery been made even three minutes
later the destruction of the entire structure would
have been assured beyond doubt Truly most
narrow escape.

Mr.. Otis Pierce of this city, who has been sup
crintending the construction of the piers for the
railroad bridge at West Falmouth, came very near
being killed on the works the other day. The
crew of men he was experimenting were engaged
in lowering derrick; they were tending the side
guy, when the derrick mast got advantage of
them, swung around and tipped at the foot Mr..
Pierce was standing on the track when one of the
iron guys whistled past his head, scraped the skin
from one orlis hands, and partially disabled one
his feet. 1t came within All inch Of his head.
Had it struck, the blow would have cleayed Mr.
Pierce in two.
There is good reason for asking the question if
some penalty ought not to attach to the gross care
lessness of clerks Of towns and cities in sending
in their official returns. BY ofthese mistakes,
Hon. William II. Stevens, Senator from Somerset
county, will have to go to the Senate to get dec
laration of his election. And this no,withstand-
ing he had the largest vote of any person in his
district, and $50 majority. The vote of the town
ofPalmyra, 1856, was returned as cast for w. II.
Stevens, instead of for William II. Stevens, max
ing 372 against him. The vote was all right, as
was also the record, the error being the Clerks.

1t is fully settled that the honor of being the
veteran jeweller in this town. belongs to Edward
Rowsc, dealer in watches, diamonds, jewery, ETC.,
Water street, just beyond the post Office. The Ia

attractive things are arranged in the window,
