Frightfnl Mower Accident.

Mr.. J. P. Towle, of New Avon, was
driving mower last Monday, when>one
of the wheels struck stone with such
force as to throw the old gentlman to
the ground in front of the sickle. Be-
fore the team. which was walking at a
fast gait, could be stopped, the sickle
struck MIR. Towle's right arm, and lacera-
ted it in horrible manner from the ell
bow to the shoulder. DR.. Stoddard was
summoned as soon as possible, and pnt
the unfortunate man under the influence
of an anesthetic, to relieve his agony.
On account of the advanced age of Mr..
Towle, the chance for his recovery was
deemed very doubtful, and lconsulta-
ton was had with DR.. Hitchcock as to
the advisability of an amputation. The
day following Drs. Stoddard and Finn
amputatcd the arm near the shoulder, and
as Mr.. Towlc is a vigorous old man, have
some hope of his recovery.

If width and wisdom always go togeth
err" as Mr.. Tony Weller gravely assert
ed, our two broad-gauged institute in.
structors ought to fill the bill pretty
well. Itseems more desirable that short
haired, well-fcd, and therefore good ma
tured men should train up our school
ma'ams in the way they should go. than
that the work should be done by half
starved or bilious professors. We
wouldn't give a. nickel to hear cadav-
erous, long haired Grahamite, with coun-
tenance "all sicklied DER with the pale
cast of thought" but with no meat on
his bones, arraign the frying-pan and
the corset in a lecture on physical cul-
ture. But when brain and Drawn, mind
and meat, combine in harmonious pro-
portions with a happy disposition, it's
worth while to hear their possessor
talk on that subject. Come out to-mor-
row night, at the Methodist church.

The notice of forfeited tax Judgment
sale, published elsewhere in this:paper,
ought not to be overlooked by those hav-
ing lands advertised under that heading
in the last tax list. The sale will take
place September Goth, and under the law
will he final. A case involving the legal
ity OF this act of last winter is now being
tried in othe District Court at St. Paul.
From the arguments of attorneys in the
case there seems to he little doubt that
the law is somewhat defective. The fact
that the taxes for 1880 were included with
prior years in the published list is object
ed to by the attorneys, who claim that
there should be two separate judgments.
Better not trust to these mooted points,
however, but settle before it is too late

was upwards of 10 years old. We have
