ley's mill, Burlington, was cleaning a
palmer, Thursday, some one started
the machine and his left arm was drag
ged into it and frightfully mutilated.

that three cents had been retained anC
remarked, II thought the yarn was
but two cents a skein." THAT is
right" replied the merchant, "but We
always charge q cent for breaking ;
