Yesterday morning, while some
of the men at the mill of G. w.
Richardson were scuffling, Young
man named Fred Picard was push
ed in such a manner that he lost
his balance and fell with his right
hand upon the jointer, which was
in motion. The hand was fright
fully lascerated, taking the thumb
and fore finger entirely off, and
leaving only stumps of the other
three fingers. DR.. Shelton dressed
the wound, and although Picard is
a sadder man, we trust he may also
be wiser, and that hereafter he will
refrain from playing in so danger
Gus a place as a saw mill. 1t is an
old addage that "there is nothing
gained by fooling," and it comes
true only too often.

How often we see some one with
a hand in a sling, suffering from
the pain of felon, and yet how
easy matter to cure a felon if
taken in proper time. BY COM
mencing when the felon is first felt,
a cure can be effected in two days
as follows: Cover the felon with a
small piece of cotton cloth, and
keep saturated with tincture Of
lobelia for As hours, and the cor
ruption will then be drawn to the
surface so that by opening with n
needle or sharp knife, the corrup-
ton will run ont, and no moro pain
will be felt. The experiment has
been tried, and found an excellent
remedy.

George Peabody and Socialism.

Some people imagine that rich men are
becomming more welded TO riches, more
aggressive in the acquisition Of wealth,
nj the expense of the working classes.
Hence the agitation in favor of Social
ism. There may be grounds for this inn
agination, but we have yet in our midst
our Peter Cooper's, our George Pea
body's, and our Miss Nitingale's-who
think more of the welfare of the strug-
Cling classes than many are aware OF,
and who employ their time and money
i'm extending good to as many as posi-
BILE in their declining years. One of
those is an old retired physician by the
name of J. p. Mountain, whose address
Is Ogdcnsburgh, n. Y, who has placed
in his hands n simple cure for consump-
ton, catarrh, asthma, headache and
nervousness. The old gentleman has
means which make him independent, and
he employs his time and money in Il very
laudable enterprise. He sends the recipe
free 20 any person sending for il, with
instructions for preparing and using, re-
curing only that the party so sending
enclose stamp to pay the postage. He
has now distributed over one million of
those recipes, and in this part may have
been cured by the use of the same. 1t l.
said TO be very reliable, and those who
are troubled with any of those diseases
would do well to address the philanthro-
pic old gentleman, and have trial of
the recipe, which has cured so many.
