Drowning Accident.

A sad drowning accident occurred
near the Daguscahonda saw mill Mon
day morning last at about O'Clock.
The facts as we learn them from eye
witnesses are substantially as follows:
James Baker, aged about 25 years, un-
married and native of ST Stephens,
| New Brunswick, had been in the EN-
ploy of Mr.. Lock, at Daguscahonda,
for three months and half. On the
morning in question he complained of
feeling ill, and said he would go to
Ridgway for some medicine. Sad
ding horse he started for Ridgway,
andas he was crossing the bridge
above the MILL he met team loaded
with bark. Endeavoring to pass the
loaded team the horse and rider by a
misstept were thrown into the water.
The bridge is very narrow and high
up from the water, while the water is
from ten to twelve feet deep. The
man and horse went down to the bot
tom of the stream like lead, and COM
ing to the surface, again went down.
AT this juncture parties OH the bridge
yelled 10 him to let go as the horse
might hurt him. The drowning man
did as he was bid and said, "Boys l
can't swim-help me-" This was the
first intimatioh anyone had that he
could not swim. The parties on the
bridge were too badly frightened to
even throw the man a plank, yet he
was not over fifteen feet from them.
They tried to reach him with pole,
but too late as he sank to rise no more.
Chris. Maize, endeavored three times,
but in vain, TO reach the man at the
bottom by sinking down feet first.
The water was considerable riled up
making it impossible to see the body
of the drowned man. l.. N. Eggles-
ton came up in q few minutes and
with IA pike pole succeeded in getting
hold of the mans boots and hauled
him to the surface. He was rolled Oh
a barrel and every effort made to
bring him to life without avail. BY
request of his brother he was taken to
Wilcox yesterday and buried. He in
tended to finish out four months time !
with Mr. Locke, and then 60 west. He
was an industriot,s young man, and
well liked by all his associates.

1 CeSarean Opcraiion.

TIE ENThAORDINARN SURGICAL
FEAT WHICH SAVES THE LIVES OF
a MOTHER AND HER BABY.
We clip the following from the Phil
adelphia record of the 23d.
An extraordinary surgical opera
ton was performed yesterday in this
city upon q Mrs. Burnell IL dwarf who
has for years been making living 10y
travelling with shows throughout the
country. She is forty-two inches in
hight and 30 years old. Her husband
is also Il dwarf. About seven weeks
ago Mrs. Burnell, knowing that she
was about to become mother, called
upon several physicians. Investiga-
ton developed the fact that owing to
her peculiar deformity, 1t would be
inipOssible for her to give birth to q
child in the usual manner.
At first it was thought the best plan
10 have the woman submit to Il cranio-
logical opperation. by which the head
world he crushed and the child Re
moved in pieces, but the physicians
discovered that on account Of the for.
mntiun of the pelvic bones this would
also be impossible, Then the Ccsa
rean operation was determined upon.
EARLY yesterday morning the physi-
clans, TO the numbcr of nearly dozen
arrived at the residence, on Seventh
street, below Spruce, where the unfor-
tunate woman was stopping. She
was somewhat nervous, but resolute
and determined.
DIR. Richards was the chief operator
assisted by Drs. L. II. Bell, smith,
Henry, Stuart and others. Mrs. Bur
nell was placed under the influence of
q N Il
proceeded with according TO pOrro's
method. An incision was made on
the median line Of the abdomen, aud
the abdominal walls we're cut through.
The womb was removed, an iuCisiOI
made in il 20 correspond with those in
the abdominal walls, and the infant
released. After that the womb wa,
restored to its bed and closed, and the
other parts brought together. The
clothing and all articles in the room
Were subjected to II solution of carbolt
acid spray, according To Lystcr'S
methods, during the operation.
The pulse Of the woman remained
excellent throughout the whole OF thi,
severe trial. ana al her symptom,
were favorable. The child was aliv,
at late hour last night, WAS vigorous
| and gave promise of being counted il
the next census. The mother had no
returned to consciousness at 10 O'Clock
but her condition was such that the
physicians firmly believe that she vii
recover, unless peritOnitis occurs.
Under the system pursued by tht
doctors both mother and child have /;
| chance for life, but had the craniUlogi
cal operation been performed there is
no doubt but that both would have
| died. Such an operation has not heer
performed in this city for II number O
years, and the condition of the mother
will be watched with Interest. The
| child weighs about six pounds.

The excitement of the week was
on Monday afternoon last Eighteen
prisoners were taken from the Jail to
the Court room for sentence and after
the Judge had spoken his "little
piece" to them the Sheriff with the
assistance of two or three deputies
marched them out with view to
again placing them in durance vile
Everything passed off lovely until the
gang reached the point at which they
should turn to go up into the "fug"
when the two head ones, White and
hurley, sprang like deer and went
down the street like the wind. The
Sheriff, Dan. Eastbrook, and "Judgy"
Sartwell took chase, while Mart.
Smith, Constable Burlingame and
other assistants took charge of the
remaining sixteen and by threats of
mashing their heads prevented q
general stampede and finally sue
ceeded in getting them inside. In the
meantime Dan. was flying through
the air like an arrow closely followed
by "Judgy", who occasionally sent a
bullet in the way of warming for the
convicts to stop. They were finally
overtaken below the residence of l..
w. Mason, and after a hard struggle
in which Dan. turned several sum
mersaults through hoop, and
punched the "daylightsr out of
one or two of the performers they
were secured, placed in wagon and
brought back to Jail. A brother of
one of them, Hurley, was arrested for
aiding in the escape, and put in the
lookup where he will remain until
next term for trial. - Smethport

dignation over the news that the
southern states are publishing Demo
cratic school books in which Lincoln
is denounced as an usurper and the
late war as an oppression. A
great deal has been gained when a

taken sufficient interests in education

an indication of improvement. OF
