On Monday evening OF last week as Mrs.
Mary Hamilton. a lady over sixty years of age
and one OF the most estimable ladies OF this
place, was passing over an oldirattle- trap piece
OF sidewalk on Pennsylvania street, she fell
and broke her hip. Her cries for assistance
brought to her aid Dr. Stebbins, whose Office
was close by and to which place she was taken
TIL assistance could be procured, when she was
taken to her own home where everything that
could be done for her comfort was done. but
Tor many hours she was great sufferer, but
at this writing she is quite comfortable. Her
injury is such that beyond doubt she will be
cripple the rest Of her life. This sad affair is
the result of neglect on the part OF some one

upon such ought to fall heavy penalty.
