hand cut off at the second joint and the third
finger nearly severed. The girl WAS playing
by the side of the house with two other small
children. They had large AK, with which
they were cutting sticks upon little block,
when the AK came down upon her hand, with
the above results. The little girl went into
the house without crying, and not finding
her mother, went into the next house, and
holding up her hand, quietly told them what
had happened. A physician was immedi-
ately sent for and the hand dressed. Yester-
dav the remainder of the second finger was
taken off at the last joint as it was
thought that by doing 50 it would leave
the hand IN better shape. The other finger 1t
is thought will be saved. A strange fact con
nected with the occurrence is that on Thursday
night last Mrs. Woodward dreamed that just
such an accident had happened TO this little
girl, and it was so real to her that she told it
to the family and others the next morning,
with expressions of apprehension that 1t was
to occur. She even pointed out the same
fingers upon the right hand which she saw,
a. she said in her cream, to have been cut
off and the blood streaming from them. A
further striking particular of the occurrence
which was seen In the shadow cast before,
was, as she stated in telling her dream, that
she dreamed that she had Just returned from
down town when she was met at the gate and
told Of the accident. Even this part Of it &C
Cured she had previously related it.

vulge where it juld be found. He was
taken back to the island on Friday by officer
Rider, and will be tried for desertion and
larceny This is his Sc on1 de ertiop, and he
will probably have an opportunity to break
stone for some time to come. Zonneyville

was of so little account to the service that
the Commandaut did not wish him returned,
and he was released.
