Last Thursday DR. Bugbec, of Lancas-
ter, set an arm for n small boy living at
Mr.. Z. w. Whites, which had been broken
several days. The operation was very
painful, as the fracture had already begun
to knit and the bone had to be re-broken
in order to set it properly.
We are sorry to see Mr.. P. w. White
in so feeble health. lie has been very
sick for eight weeks with Inflammation.
Dr. Frank Bugbee-in the absence of Dr.
Ranncy-was called to him the 18th inst,
and performed a surgical operation on
him that discharged nearly two quarts in
twenty-four hours. Some hopes are yet
entertained of his recovery, although he
is very feeble.
The P. & o. r. II. depot was located on
the Sth inst, on the farm of 2. w. White
on the sand knoll about half way from the
river road to the old bridge, where the
II. II. bridge is to be built The depot is
to be the size and shape of the one at st.
Johnsbury, East Village. The contract
for building it will be let next week.
The Association of Sabbath School
workers held their meetings here June
10Th and 30th, according to the pro-
gramme. A Constitution was adopted
and a permanent organization effected.
A goodly number from abroad were pres
ent. The meetings were full and inter

the Singng-cspecially the little ones
excellent and soul inspiring. Statistics
were presented of the various schools in
the county, new thoughts suggested, new
plans laid, new purposes formed, new
methods Of teaching presented, and we
may hope that all were awakened to
stronger convictions of duty and to more
earnest work in this great field for the
Master.

Last Sunday, as Mr.. Caleb Johnson's
three children, boy and two girls, were
when going down the hill near the resi-
dcnce Of Russell Powers, their horse
stepped on a rolling stone and stumbled
over a bar, which had been built across
the road to turn the water, and fell, break
ing the shafts and throwing out the boy,
who was driving, and the oldest girl.
The horse became frightened and started
at fearful rate of speed down the hill
When about thirty rods from the place OF
the accident the girl that was left in tRC
wagon clIner jumped or was thrown out
injuring her very severely. She was in.
sensible for some time, but now seems to be
doing well, and as no bones were broker
hopes are entertained of her recovery
The Others, though considerably bruised
were not seriously injured. The wagon
which was good one, was completely
used up, and the harness badly torn tC
pieces, but the horse was not much i'll
jured. No blame is attached to the driver
rs he was driving slowly at the time o
the accident. The only wonder is tina
they were not hurt worse, as the boot o
the wagon was fastened back, making i
difficult to jump out, the horse running a
last as possible down hill.
