SHOCKING AcCIDENT.--Ou Friday
morning thc so'callcd unlncky day.
as Mr.. Marion II, Smith, employed in
Mr.. Standish's tanncry, was feeding a
bark crushing machine, no used his
right hand to poke in some bark,
when it was caught in the machine
aud crushed in q mass as TAR up rs the
wrist, lie pulled it out by main
force, leaving all but tho ligaments
behind. lie was alone at the time,
but no had nerve force enough to
wrap up the mangled members in his
handkerchief aud walk home--an un-
,recedented feat. The workmen com.
ing into the room soon after the acct
dent found blood and bones IN and
around the machine, and traced him
some ways toward his home by the
streaming blood, while others fastened
for surgeon. Drs. Richmond Il
Sherwin were called who amputated
the arm some three inches above the
wrist joint-this was the best they
could do, us the bones were badly
shattered-and he is now doing as
we'll as could be expected. MIR. Smith
is an honest, hard working man, but
has been very unfortunate in worldly
affairs for some time back A few
years ago he had his house burned +;
this summer he has had much sickness
ard death in his family, aid now
this falls upon him still heavier than
all the rest. Mr. Fred b. Merrill cir
culated a subscription paper for him
the next day and carried in 500 to
the family, which greatly surprised
and gratiied them. This is not
enough; more should be done; Mr..
Standsh can and ought to do more
Delightful October weather. n

The many friends in this vicinity
OF E. Is. Adams, Esq, of St. Louis,
will be glad to learn that he received
the democratic nomination for Judge
Of the Superior Court, in that city, on
Monday last. He is capable and de-
serving and we hope he will be elected.
There was no local application in
that Ebony Pastor item last week.
There could be none-our pastors are
all christian gentlemen, and if their
flocks would follow their teachings,
there would be less scandalous, dirty
gossiping and idleness among them
than there is now. THERE'S too much
Of this "gossiping" In the place, and
it is not confined to the lower strata
of society either. Ebony Pasquin,"
now corrupted to "Tony Pastor" was
the pseudonym of a celebrated writer of
prose aud poetry, and, we believe,
clergyman.
A CARD.-Mr. and Mrs. Marion H.
Smith wish US to say that they return
their heartfelt thanks to those who so
kindly Sympathised with, and aided
them in their great affection, and hope
they will have their reward from the
giver of all good gifts to man.
