A Washington letter to the Philadelphia
Times, says:
''The only two ladies of the new Cabinet
circle whom hear mentioned as likely to
enjoy the social features of their positions
are Mrs. Macveagh and Mrs. Robert Lin
coin, The latter is the youngest of the
number, and made her debut here while
her father was Senator. She was then
scarcely old enough to go into society. A
relative of hers tells me that Mrs. Lincoln
made the match between her eldest son and
Senator Harlan's daughter. She saw the
young girl at the opera one evening and
was so attracted by her appearance that she
sent her a boquet, and remarked at the time
to Senator Sumner: Il want my son to mar
~ Just such girl as that" President Lin
coin said to the Senator. my wife will
make match between Harlan's daughter
and Bob see if she don't. She's great on
match making" l saw the couple together
at one of Mrs. Lincoln's last receptions just
after she had introduced her son to the
young lady she had picked out for him, and
have always remembered how pleased he
looked as he walked through the East
room with her She it seems took only
passing interest in the acquaintance until
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln so soon af-
terwards filled her with sympathy for the
bereavement of his son, and so fate worked
with Mrs Lincoln in bringing about the
marriage on which she had set her heart
and which seems to have been productive
of much happiness to those Utmost concerns.
Mrs Robert Lincoln will not, her mother
tells me, come here to remain permanently
before next autumn. Some one has pri-
vately called attention to the fact that Mrs
Macyeagh has had more near relatives in
high positions than any other lady now in
official life here, as she can truthfully say
MY father was United States Senator for
many years, my brother was Secretary OF
War and is United States Senator and my
husband is Attorney General"

Themost distressing accident thatit hasbeen
a. Zimmerman's steam grist mill shortly af-
ter noon on Tuesday Of last week. Willie
Zimmarman, little lad about fourteen
years ofagc. who has been living with DR..
Brubakcr for some time past, went to the
mill in company with Master Russell Uhl, q
young son OF John II. Uhl's, Esq, to get
some corn In the mill is patent corn
shelter, run by steam the boys were all
lowed to shell their corn in this shelter, and
having finished the belt was removed from
the wheel but still remained around tho
shaft. The shaft revolving at the rate of 10
revolutions per minute. After the belt had
been removed from the wheel it still con-
tinued to revolve around the shaft. Zim-
mermani in attempting to prevent this put his
foot on the belt when it was caught in loop
which it. the belt, had formed and was rapidly
whirled around the shaft number of times.
His right Lee was torn completely off from
the knee and he was thrown violently to
the floor some distance from the machine.
Each time that he was drawn around his
head struck bag of corn, which was stand
ing against post had it not been for this
his brains would have been dashed out
against the post.
Mr. Josiah Zimmerman, who was in
another part of the mill, hearing the lad
scream rushed to the scene of the accident
where he found the boy in the condition
above stated. Mr. Zimmerman ran to the
door and called for assistance, by the time
he returned the boy had gotten up on his
one foot and was trying to crawl along the
wall. He was placed in wagon and taken
to DIR. Brubakers residence, where the Doc
tor assisted by DR.. Kierran amputated the
leg midway between the knee and hipjoint.
The little fellows sufferings can better be |
imagined than told, but everything that at |
tention and kindness could do was done 10 |
alleviate his suffering. He is still lying in |
, very critical state at DIR. Brubaker's resi-
lence.
