Arm AmDatated.

Mr.. Stanley, the gentleman who acci-
dentally shot his hand on last Christmas
while hunting, and in the act of loading his
gun, having had part of his hand amputa-
ted at the time, has not recovered by any
means. On last Friday the wounded hand
and arm became so much worse that Drs.
Les and Farra deemed it necessary to
further amputate the arm, SO accordingly
they took off the lower part of the arm just
below the elbow. The wounded man is in q
very critical condition and it is thought his
recovery is doubtful.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Senator
Hampton, from the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, reported favorably to-day
a bill for the relief of Jessie Benton
Fremont. The bill provides that she
shall be compensated for land and inn
provements thereon at Point San Jose,
San Francisco that she purchased it
from Mark Brumage in 1860, and that
it was seized by the United States for
military purposes in 1868, and is still
held by the United States. She is to be
given the cash value of the land and
Improvements at the time Of its Seizure,
and six per cent. per annum for the
time it was held. The Court of Claims
is to determine the value Of the pro-
perty and render judgment in her favor.
The bill further provides that if the
secretary of War, before the payment
Of said judgment, shall decide that the
land is not necessary to be held for mil
itary purposes, it shall be returned to
Mrs. Fremont with all improvements
thereon, and further proceedings in
Court shall he stayed.
